    What's on your mind?

    This is my first thought why they're doing it. It sets them apart from others. Gives more character. It's not true, but I lived in a dorm that encouraged being different. And some of these girls might fit into that culture. It is a living learning dorm. Looking at a video, the kids there today...

    Speed dating

    Considered it but talked to others about their experiences and enough to see it's not for me. Who knows I may change my mind.

    What's on your mind?

    A wretched sinner I am, cleanse me o Lord! This I continually need to remind myself. Today I had a meeting with peers from far. One guy I met for the first time, we shared some stories but I didn't mention anything if faith. After he was outside by my car talking to a coworker. He told me about...

    The Beauty Shop

    Aww I love this! Such sweetness, the eyes definitely pop and great colors on you. Your hair up is a great style and you can't go wrong with this classic style and spiral curls. I hope you and a good time at the wedding.

    What's on your mind?

    I agree and I'm thankful that scripture was brought to mind. So powerful and true. I shared with my sister and she also cried remembering our father's advice and how it helped her get through a tough time with an ex. That was one of the toughest times of her life and our relationship was...

    What's on your mind?

    "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." This verse came to mind tonight as I was searching for scripture to basically point fingers at someone else. It stopped me in my tracks. And then I remembered my...

    What's on your mind?

    Yes, the next time we get in touch I'll have to tell her about the book. I went through a prepping period 2009-2011. But kind of got set aside for other things. Gardening has been my build towards self sufficiency, but I keep backup plans in my head for when the time comess that I need to head...

    What's on your mind?

    Every once in a while he comes to mind (a thing said here on the forum.. could be driving and a memory. It is an area I need to grow in. I'm thankful for the answers and it gives me some closure and reality for my disillusionment. Hopefully this is my last search. I'm so sorry, that sounds...

    What's on your mind?

    I'm not sure how to process this. The guy I liked 3 years ago has 2 mug shots within a years time for assault. The Lord really protected me and I pray for the one he married. Something I need to pray about when and if I ever become attracted again and listening to that instinct. The holy Spirit...

    Self-Care

    Is there such a thing as plant therapy!? I sure felt it today as I looked at plants at Menards. My feet were slow, I felt in a flow, I felt the sun, I felt the breeze and took my time selecting what I know will be gone next month.

    What's on your mind?

    I felt the same at that age. A Christian once compared that age to Jesus and when he went to the cross. I found a lil comfort in that.

    How did your day go?

    It was a good day! Sunny, cafe, walking, fellowship and catching up with an old friend. 50% off goodwill. And at a high end consignment I was able to bargain with the owner and she gave me an extra 10% off and told me I had beautiful eyes. Still some health issues, but a day I could relax...

    Im 34, new to church, and never pursued or been attracted to a church girl...until now:

    My opinion, don't wait!! She will appreciate, if she does want to go out, you taking the effort to ask. If you don't want to ask in front of others, find a moment she's done greeting. Maybe she's leaving church service..." Hey got a minute?" " You seem interesting and I was wondering if you'd...

    Im 34, new to church, and never pursued or been attracted to a church girl...until now:

    @terrible-chocolate89 I think this could be your fast forward. This conversation reminds me of the advise they give with online dating. It's ok to get to know one another for a couple of weeks, but going on a date(asking) is better sooner than later. Then both parties move on. In this case it...

    What's on your mind?

    I was wondering, thanks for the update. Yes, I do think you could cultivate this on the side and could turn into something fulltime by retirement.

    Self-Care

    Just started reading and hope to discover more later. I've not been successful in the past and am starting with a fresh mind, as I'm not under a time crunch. Take out sounds nice. I did the same from the local deli with chicken and other yummy foods. I hope you have a great relaxing evening and...
