    boundless article: Addicted to Adultescence

    Anyways, back to the topic at hand...I won't deny...the authors are quite biased. However, they do make some accurate observations. It's very difficult for us to compare ourselves to bibical times. Back then, there was no college...just blue collar labor...farming, carrying stuff, etc...

    boundless article: Addicted to Adultescence

    Exactly! One of my friends a few years older than I recently purchased a new Euro car...after buying a new Japan car only 2-3 months ago (trade-in of course). While he was showing off his luxury car to some girls, I got the feeling they weren't all that impressed; 1. probably by his...

    boundless article: Addicted to Adultescence

    http://www.boundless.org/2005/articles/a0001217.cfm Read it and let's discuss. I find myself agreeing much with what I read to what I see...in my own church. I find myself being tempted to indulge in the world...like say purchase a European car...but I am able to restrain myself for the most...

    Can't talk to people

    I recommend reading: The Fine Art of Small Talk, Newly Revised Second Edition by Debra Fine (Paperback - Jan 2004) I myself am not that great of a talker...I just don't like talking about myself that much....however, I (and you as well) can be a great listener!!

    Valentines Day [mostly meaningless rant]

    Don't let it get to you. The marketing and profit opportunities associated with this holiday build up all the hype.

    Dating outside the family.

    Bible writes not to be "yoked" with unbelievers. I agree with that...it's a lot easier for Christians to be brought down...that is, to worldly gains than it is for non-believers to suddenly be saved b/c of us.

    Xanga, anyone?

    I'm a xanga addict...not neccessarily writing in it, but reading other peoples'. I'm "attempting" again to get away from it. I deleted it from my cookies, bookmarks, etc. I'm curious, has anyone ever said they would quit xanga, only to come back? I've done this once...by way of public...

    Attraction, Attracted, Lust

    1) the woman lusted for is objectified for sexual pleasure (whether it be to the eye or imagined in the mind) 2) it's possible, like say...for the sake of art (sketching,etc.). but something like this can be very subjective 3) i can say, "look, that girl is attractive" and move on in my life...

    Young Adult 3,000 blessing game

    Two good ones of which I have memorized in my brain: To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me...

    He is faithful who has promised

    So true...sometimes the "according to My will" part is left out. Hahah, so it can be taken out of context sometimes. Just remember: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

    goin medieval in the old testiment

    David and Goliath is classic. Just read these verses from 1 Samuel: 45 David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the LORD will...

    Careers/ or Planned Career

    I'm in outside sales for a fortune 50 company. Started in late 2004...just got promoted to middle market sales last week. Is this where I want to be? Initially, no. I wanted to do marketing or advertising, but this was what was available at the time. I had a bad impression of sales at first...
