    Commitment - What is it?

    The big C word that women want and men fear. But let's try to discuss what it really is, to try to peel all the layers of misunderstanding and cultural baggage that the word has accumulated in our cynical age. My own thinking is that its a series of choices that are intentional when serving...

    August 19, 2007

    Cathy (fwmcathy) & I (bvwsmaker) would like to announce our engagement. Wedding date to be decided. We still need to announce it to her parents, which we'll be doing later tonight. But we skipped announcing it to her parents first since it was on this forum that we met.

    Forgiving my parents

    On this coming Thursday (3/15) during our discipleship time, my discipler is going to make me forgive my parents (and step-parents). I say "make me" because he didn't seem to offer a choice when he told me last night. I don't like being "forced" to do something. And I don't like feeling like...

    Being burdened heavily for others

    It's been a long since my heart was heavily burdened for friends who don't know the Lord. Where it seems I've got to pray for them! Talk to them (more often)! Be bolder in my talks with them. I'm curious to hear your stories of being burdened for others. And if you're burdened now for...

    If she knew the real me, would she still want me?

    Have you ever had that thought go through your mind? Does this "fear" paralyze you? What do you do about it? It seems one option is to put up a false front to hide behind. To make yourself seem more acceptable. Another option is to be open about the bad habits and watch to see if they can...

    Opening a can of "Hugs"

    Hugging can be a confusing thing among singles. Especially if it's unfamiliar territory because of not experiencing it much while growing up. (I rarely experienced hugs growing up.) So for me, it's awkward to hug someone of the opposite sex. I'll respond to a hug that "she" initiates, but...

    At home church last night the teacher gave us a quiz with 19 "rewritten" Christmas song titles. I'll write them one post at a time and we'll see how many you guys can get. There they are - have fun!

    How many total children among the Fab 40's?

    It's been pretty cool seeing the children icons pop up on our posts. It makes me curious though how many children total we have among the Fab 40's. (And grandchildren!) I wonder if we can tally them up and see how huge this Fab 40 family really is! So if you all post your totals, I'll tally...

    Who was your first Celebrity crush?

    Mine was Hayley Mills (in The Parent Trap). Of course I didn't realize the movie came out the year I was born! (I probably didn't see it until I was 11 or 12 I think.) I also liked her in Pollyanna!

    Who is this lady I should be looking for?

    I don't think I have the gift of celibacy! But there's times when I wonder if I want to get married (since that would be the only way)! Or I feel I'm in a "I do but I don't" type treadmill. First, I guess I struggle with the "who would ever want to marry me"! syndrome. (Well, I know a few but...

    What would you do?

    I just received a phone call from my former roommate's wife (the word roommate is very important there) saying that she thinks the marriage is over (after barely a year)! She talked a while, venting her frustrations! All I could do was listen (and mostly mouthing "Lord, I have no idea what to...

    Add the reps of the previous poster to the total!

    This could be some serious math. We start with: 0 The next person would add my 50000+ to it. Edit: (Of course the totals won't match up when more reps are added later to everyone. I wish I would have put "Add the current reps of the previous poster to the total!" to clear it up (and not...

    0. Since there's no one before me. (And the next person would add on my 45!)
