    What did you do today?

    Saw my mom today be finally laid to rest. So glad this week is finally done.

    Define "marriage"

    Marriage to me isn't what it used to be anymore. Long gone are the days where you see marriages lasting 40+ years. Too many marry for the wrong reasons. And it does get disconcerting when you hear words like 'my old lady' or 'the warden' or 'kiss your freedom goodbye'. I have always thought of...

    Prayers Needed Tonight

    I know I haven't been on this board very long but, I would like to request prayers for myself and my family. I had gotten the call last night while at work that my mom was killed in an auto accident yesterday afternoon. Last time I spoke to her last week she was looking forward to me coming...

    People..Do We Really Need Others?

    Some good thoughts there. I have always assumed that the only way to witness to others or to tell others about Jesus was through preaching or some other form of public speaking. I often feel bad for the fact that even though one is saved, they are often quiet and just doesn't say much of...

    People..Do We Really Need Others?

    Its interesting you mention that. From what I have discovered, its often easier for me to sometimes chat online like this because one, its easier to convey my thoughts compared to in person and two, I don't really get nervous. At the end of the day, I can leave the computer and do other things...

    People..Do We Really Need Others?

    I've been pondering on this question for a good many years. I've always been a quiet and introverted person for a long time. Never experienced marriage, meeting people in general, or 'networking' as they say is a chore. I have very little, if any tolerance for drama. I don't like conflict. To me...

    Online dating woes

    I used to try dating sites years ago, but have gave up on them. I was never certain whether you could really meet anyone sincere on those sites. Its easier to hide who you really are on dating sites as compared to meeting them in person. On the flip side, I have somewhat an easier time trying...

    Does anyone ever feel that you were meant to be alone?

    Good points. The thought of being married scares me, because I don't like divorce, seeing as there's so much of it today. The world says, "You should live together to find out if you're compatible". I don't believe in doing that, as the only way I will live with someone is if I was married to...

    Does anyone ever feel that you were meant to be alone?

    I often feel that its meant to be alone too. I've had many tell me over the years that 'there's someone for you out there' or 'there's someone for everyone'. Oftentimes I would counter with "Yeah, there's someone for everyone else". I haven't had a church home in over 5 years, and for me I have...

    If you dont have a Date on saturday night, what do you usually end up doing ?

    Saturday nights...I don't go out very much, if at all except maybe going to the store for a few things. For the most part I do alot of reading, play some PS3 and watch movies. Weekends is usually the time I do my laundry and other normal chores. Other than that, things stay quiet for me.

    tattoos

    I have to say, from what I have learned it can be very confusing when it comes to the OL vs the NL. Many people that try to correct others or quote scripture often go from the old Mosiac Law. But since Jesus dies for our sins and a new covanant has been made, we no longer are bound to the old...

    Is it Too Late?

    Well, I have wanted to learn to play the keyboard for starters. I am musically inclined, but it takes alot of time and practice to really be proficient at it. It seems that as we get up in age, its more of a challenge to concentrate on one thing at a time, while younger people have an easier...
