CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
What's on your mind?

I feel a little bad for coming down on one of the managers of a property I was looking at renting. After talking to her supervisor I understand where the miscommunication was now. I really felt like I was mislead, however, so had to withdraw from the deal entirely and take a couple steps back to regather my thoughts. The thing is, the property still seems to be the best fit... so I kind of still want it. It's just that this place is so inflexible with their leases, and I'd have to sign a longer lease term than I had wanted.
This place manages some of the best apartment and townhouse villages in the town that I'm moving to, and I've rented from them before. The last time I rented from them, they would not cut my lease short, even if they were able to find someone else to rent the place to immediately after I left. When I heard that, I basically told them sorry - that they weren't getting the keys until my lease was up... which was within my rights. Like I'm supposed to just give them the place and let them make double the rent for a month. :/ So I moved out, kept the keys and mailed them to the management office (from out of state) a week before my lease was up.
Yeah, I understand that a lot of places will want you to pay out an entire lease term. But there's still a number of places that will let you cut the lease a month short if they're able to rent the place to somebody else for that month. I had almost forgotten about that whole ordeal which took place when I moved out of their place last time...

I visited a really nice university this week that prompted the consideration of changing over
It had a beautiful naturistic campus and the philosophy of smaller classes, personalised with an individual progression and learning appealed to me a lot. Rather then just being a number in the audience. However, they don't offer extramural study options. Now that I've done calculations for attendance, I would be spending 16 hours per week just in travel and associated waiting time to get there. Plus, I would be paying 4 x the amount on bus fares. I don't think its workable. I would be losing out essentially on 52 days each year, plus leaving at 7am to get back to my city at 7am. Even if I wanted to, I just don't think its possible to uphold.

My attention is divided. Yay multitasking.
Things are going well, but I'm looking forward to vegging out and focusing on my hobbies later today.

OMM:
-For several years the Christian music channel on my TV played music from the 70's up to now, but for a little while now I haven't seen anything on there older than 2003. Now they mostly play music from the 2010's with some from the mid to late 2000's. I liked some of the songs from the 90's and early 2000's as well so it's kind of sad.
It's also funny how I hear some songs more than others on all the music channels. There are some songs that I've heard over and over and then there are songs I only heard once or twice and haven't heard since 2010 or 2011 (I've been using those channels since mid-2010).
-I still spend way too much time online but my offline life is so boring. I wish there was more that I wanted to spend time doing.

Do you think God loves some believers more than others? Some people seem to be blessed more than others. There are some that are blessed with looks, charisma or some talent/gift and are able to coast through life on these with the minimum of effort. I have none of those. They are able to find partners easily, find jobs easily, people gravitate to them, while others have to deal with things like constant sickness, depression, loneliness even though they are believers. It doesn't mean these people never experience pain or sadness, but that their struggles in life seem to be much less.
Like a game, some seem to have been given the easy setting while others seem to have have been given the hard setting.
Sometimes I think God tolerates me more than He loves me. "Congratulations, you're saved, now go stand over there.'' I can imagine Him saying. Sometimes I feel like the Esau of my family.

God doesn't just tolerate you, Moe, he loves you more than you can fathom. You are not Esau. God loves you so much that Christ laid down his life for you. I am not saying life is easy, it isn't. I also know how difficult dealing with life can be at times and how overwhelming it can be. I am not trying to just pass over your struggle or your pain and I hope you don't think or feel that is what I am doing. I know some times life is very painful but I also know that God is our help and that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. I don't know what your particular troubles are but my heart does grieve that you are struggling so. Please, do not believe the lies of the enemy, that you are talent less or unlovable. I am praying for you, Moe. May God grant you comfort, peace, and that you should understand how much he really loves you. May he heal your heartaches and bless you.
