    Teenager behaving strangely

    Oh she's got a new hobby. I remember doing that. I ended up rearranging my room once a month. You watch it, she'll be buying knick knacks next.

    A matchmaker's dilemma

    I'd just tell him that atheist is the wrong label for him and he's better off just saying what happened. If she can't see beyond that then she's the wrong girl for him.

    Dark Waters

    I've just realised that the Dalek and K-9 in my avatar look like the two cats at my boyfriend's flat. The Dalek can be the older one because she's as grumpy as hell. She bit me once and drew blood, although that was my fault. We watched an interesting Japanese horror movie the other day called...

    Religious tattoos

    If I had a religious tattoo I'd go for something with symbols of all the Abrahamic faiths intertwined. I wouldn't get one though as I'm too squeamish. Maybe a bracelet instead ...

    Thoughts in heads

    I personally don't believe that God would ever put a thought in my head. I'm sure He could if He wanted to but I don't think that's how it works. Instead it feels to me that God sometimes works with what you've already got in your head by occasionally nudging a thought to the forefront. In my...

    Progress

    I'm just about to head off to the gym. The project is making progress. I really hate academic writing because I am required to sound like a know-it-all on things I know nothing about. It's not just me who feels like that, my friends say the same. I know exactly what I need to do so I just need...

    Living together before marriage

    Same here. I didn't realise quite how much time my boyfriend spends sleeping and eating ice cream before I moved in with him. :P

    On the whole Intercessionary Prayer thing...

    I was the one who originally raised the issue of intercessory prayer on this forum last week. Sometimes things just "click" with me and I know what I believe. I was in a church service yesterday morning and it occurred to me that the whole point of intercessory prayer is to talk to God because...

    Pictorial prayer

    I'm fairly new to prayer so I'm still making surprising discoveries. I noticed something this evening that surprised me with the simplicity of its obviousness. I was finding prayer to be somewhat unrewarding because I assumed it had to be like composing a letter to God in your head. I couldn't...

    Dealing with theological differences

    When I first started going to church I didn't believe in Jesus so I kept quiet for a lot of the songs and reading aloud bits. I found that I could make a quiet space within the words and they'd just float around me.

    Steady pace

    Work is progressing at a steady pace. I'm not particularly enjoying it and I wish there was a short cut out of it, but there you go.

    Does Doctor Who have Biblical overtones?

    Ah, after a quick snoop round wikipedia I see Dr Who is apparently very influenced by mythologies invented by writers like H.P. Lovecraft.
