    Giving up on God :/

    There is nothing special about me. God didn't choose me because I was good, nobody is. Churches also are not necessarily the best places to find God. Sometimes churches teach Churchianity not Christianity. Probably more teach Churchianity than Christianity. Don't go for pretty places with pretty...

    what are you feeling right now? (23)

    I know exactly what you mean. Just unplug. I strongly consider doing just that once my obligations in this place are done. I have considered whether it might be a retreat of sorts, putting your light under a bushel, but everyone is different and everyone needs different things. I do have...

    what are you feeling right now? (23)

    As for myself, I am feeling less than optimally productive. ;) I had things I hoped to achieve today that I didn't. Other things I can still achieve though. Emotionally, I was quite blue yesterday, unusually so since I had largely been free of depression for a long time now. But for awhile...

    Giving up on God :/

    Sister I hope you are still here and can read what I am saying. God did not promise us a good life as the world considers good. In fact Jesus said "in this world you will have trouble." And we all do. I do, you do. Remember where it says "Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask...

    I'm lost - Is being a sensitive (effeminate?) male such a horrible thing?

    As one spider-saver to another, I didn't find anything wrong with what you said. Okay, the wearing women's clothing and the beauty products are a little strange, but to each his own. ;) This is a judgment free zone, brother. Every kind of issue that a human being could ever have, someone here...

    dont know what to do anymore

    I hope things are okay. I was feeling a little blue yesterday and thought how true it is that God draws close to us in adversity, and adversity makes us want to draw closer to God. :) God alone endures. Peace Sister. :)

    Hello everyone, it has been a long time. :)

    Hi Gerry, thanks for asking about my mom. She is fine, she has senile dementia of course but she seems pretty happy and in good health nevertheless and the place that is taking care of her is great. I hope you and your family are also well and that you are blessed. :) Robert

    dont know what to do anymore

    I hope this suggestion will be helpful to you as it has been for me. Get yourself either some rosary beads or an orthodox prayer rope. Now you may thinking this is strictly a Catholic thing or an Orthodox thing I am telling you - bear with me, it isn't. I am neither Catholic nor Orthodox (nor...

    Hello everyone, it has been a long time. :)

    Thanks Rob :) I see that my old friends AFlower and LadyBug are still posters, and Winter. Does Sister Joanna still post? I saw her perennial "how are you feeling" post which is still up after such a long time which reminded me of her. I am reminded of the quote I think from "Tale of Two...

    Hello everyone, it has been a long time. :)

    It has been a very long time. :) I recognized a few folks who were here when I was here before, I saw a post by Winter, it is good to see your name again my friend. :) I fell away from Christianity which is probably why I left. I am a follower of Christ again so I came back. :) I actually do...

    lonely, depressed, tired of it all

    Hello Laurelk: Not sure what I can say to help you, since a lot of the time I can't help myself. All I can say is, don't take what the world has done to you as a judgement on you. It's a judgement on the world and the nature of things. Yes, in the world, some people get the short end of the...

    Terribly bleak

    Hey Noxot, There weren't really proper ways of denoting numbers until the Arabs came up with our current number system. The way the Romans used numbers would be as if we took the first or second letters of Five, tEn, Hundred, Thousand, Million and used those as a way to denote a number, with...
