    Need advice to help my husband!!!

    Nothing comes from nothingness. Your husband sounds like a man that has learned some hard lessons from life. The hardest lesson to learn is that love exists no matter how hard our lives get...and we are the ones who create it! Choose to love the ones around you...even if others slap you in the...

    Affair

    Your Dad sounds really unhappy with his home life. We are all weak in certain areas, and that's the truth. We all want to be loved. So, love your Dad. Give him a hug and talk to him about his life. Maybe his interpretation about his life is different from your interpretation of his life...you know?

    How Old Do You Think the Earth Is?

    I would agree with SoldierOfSoul that the Earth is estimated at being 4.54 billion years old, based on the empirical evidence. What does the Earth's age have to do with your faith in God? As my conception of the universe grew so did my conception of God...I never completely lost faith and now...

    Losing Faith or Rejecting Salvation?

    Peace, That was a real confession, and I really appreciate your candor and honesty. Christ taught us to do one thing...to love each other as he loved us. What does that mean? Man can do one of two things, he can create something or he can destroy something. A man that loves something pours...

    letting go of things

    Peace, You have been yoked with a heavy burden. I think that a person in your position has to set clear boundaries for yourself regarding both your illness and your spiritual life. You have to have an awareness of what each one looks like and how each one sounds on their own and also when they...

    Battling unbelief

    My experience was that I explored my unbelief over the course of several years (and still am) and let it slowly, and sometimes painfully, reveal to me what I really believe in, like peeling back the layers of an onion. There isn't anything wrong with the top layers but you need to find the...

    Really need some advice please

    Concerning the issue with your mother: I think it is good that you are working to forgive her and have made an honest attempt to reconcile the relationship. I think that is probably all you can do, especially if the other person is not willing to do their share of the work to repair the...

    Loneliness

    I am absolutely sure you don't want to hear this right now but, give it some time. The loss of a relationship can take months or even years to recover from emotionally. Now is a time to stay close to your family, friends, church and most importantly to God. Make sure you pray everyday and, once...

    Sister molested?

    Talking to your mom may be a good idea but be ready for a potentially very unpleasant experience. Therapy is probably a good idea too, maybe for you as well at some point...having someone to help you untangle the knot in a good thing. Peace

    What Will be Said of ME?

    Thanks for your reflection. I think that meditating on death and the reality of our own mortality can have a powerful impact on our perception of life and how we choose to engage those closest to us; those who are so very important to us but who often times are pushed into our peripheral vision...

    "The Missings"

    You can find most of them on the internet for free or you can buy them in a bookstore. Start by searching for the Apocryphal and Gnostic Gospels. Peace

    Sister molested?

    That sounds like a really serious dilemma. You kind of unexpectedly walked into a mine field there didn't you? Your sister is very angry and has a journal full of confessions of being sexually abused. Either those confessions are true and she is angry because of the abuse or she is suffering...

    How do you keep faith?

    Sometimes all we can do is endure. There was a time in my life when I prayed every single night that I would not wake up from my sleep...this made me feel guilty so I added to it that if I did wake up that I would do my duty to myself (by caring for myself properly), my family who depend on me...

    Letting Off Concern- Nowhere Else To Turn

    Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is to be a good example. The Lord walked among us to show us how to live and now we who call him our God are called to do the same. Peace

    I'd Appreciate Advice

    I agree with Bliz. I think you should wait until you are completely independent and really prepared to face the person that dominated you for so long. This may be a really long time, probably even years, but the time will benefit you and your position. When you confront him he will probably not...
