    Be Bold And A (cough) Punk Part I.

    I hear a lot of talk about being bold in my Christian walk. Men are bold. We are told to go "boldly" and proclaim the Gospel. Women love it when Christian men are "bold" (but only if they are attracted to him, otherwise you're gonna be placed in 'creepsville' for good) and if we are not bold...

    A Rambling On Dating

    I've been a life-long single. Never married. No children. Can't say that I have ever been endeared by a woman. I don't recall ever being flirted with. TV shows, movies, songs about "love" and falling in "love" always perplexed me; it was just something that never happened to me. Sure, I have had...

    Confidence you say???????

    Every time I hear a woman (Christian or non) tell me that the biggest turn-on for her in a man is "confidence" I have to chuckle. A wry smile-smirk appears on my face and I just figure what she wants is very subjective. It's like how you like you coffee, or what kind of "wine" you like. You like...

    Why The Boy Scouts of America matter more than ever

    On Saturday I returned from Boy Scout Camp in the gorgeous Sierra-Nevada's here in California. This camp was in a more remote area of the region. Well over 7,000 feet in elevation and you have to paddle across decent sized, deep, and cold mountain lake to get to the camp from the parking lot /...

    "We Won't Let You"

    Speaking to an old college friend last night on the phone; our first conversation in over a year. It was hard to grasp how much time has passed. We met in 1989, both graduated in 1993. I was in his wedding in 1998. He lives in Chicago. I live in California. I have not seen him in person since...

    Do ladies only like guys with "cheating leverage"?

    Actually, you're wrong. My feelings of late have just recently started to boil. I kept up the "toothpaste" commercial of happiness for a long time (well over a decade now). You know, don't be angry "your time will come" the usual thoughts. Focusing on prayer. Focusing on service. Taking...

    Do ladies only like guys with "cheating leverage"?

    It's freaky times we live in..........I mean, in today's church...in the United States........we have a serious problem concerning interpersonal relations between men and women. People are frustrated, hurt, betrayed.....and the church is a place for folks like this because if broken people are...

    Do ladies only like guys with "cheating leverage"?

    ;-) well, you would think that wouldn't you? It's okay. If I reply with a snarky / cheeky remark....it validates your opinion. I say nothing, it says to you 'agreement' or that you 'stumped' me. If I reply in love, well then it's me 'changing' the topic. With your reply you have cornered the...

    mom passed away

    Hey, stumbled on your post while browsing the forums..... I lost my mother just over six years ago to ovarian cancer. She had no idea she had it. She was diagnosed, and then about six months later she was gone. It slapped me, dad, and even my older brother hard. Add to the fact that she was...

    Do ladies only like guys with "cheating leverage"?

    What a crock. More of the Sesame Street logic of "Don't you ever change because people love you just the way you are" Yet, you agree with Mat of "changing" and getting help, and following advice from guys that get a girl to drop her panties. Yankee girl, with all respect here. If you suddenly...

    What is your passion?

    Strange thread because what I have "liked" over the decades has changed with the times, and my age....but the one constant that has been around since my mid-twenties Dancing. No, not ballroom, or waltz or tap. Nothing that high-brow. I dance to northern-soul, Motown sounds from the 1960's thru...

    On college years spent in New England 1989-1993

    The Early 1990's social scene on a small college campus: Larger concerts / shows: Usually once a year, maybe twice we would have a 'larger' music group or comedian come and perform at our campus....or one that was 'bigger' on the college scene in those times. The concerts were free to all the...
