Loner, the best way to deal with a situation like that is to stop feeling sorry for yourself (no, I'm not being mean when I say that), get out of the house, and live life. If you make up your mind that you're going to live the fullest life possible EVEN IF you remain single, you're already one...

Littlest, this isn't "love" honey, it's a crush. Crushes can be crazy powerful, but they aren't love. They're hormones going wild in your brain and making you feel absolutely drunk with attraction to the person EVEN THOUGH you may not know them very well, or know that they aren't a very good fit...

Who says single people can't be happy?? I totally believe He calls some people to lifelong singleness. Look at monks, priests, nuns, etc. Look at Mother Theresa - does she seem like she led an empty, unhappy life? Heck no, she traveled the world, impacted millions of lives for God, and left...

I think this is going in circles lol. Suppur, your enthusiasm is adorable, I kinda wanna squish you like a kitten. I am concerned for you, though, that you're just SO gung-ho about this, that after a time, you're going to "burn out" and become disillusioned if things don't go the way you want...

I dream EVERY night, usually multiple dreams. They usually fade pretty quickly, so I'll try to share some here on the days they happen, before all the details get foggy :) I've had a handful of impactful, intense dreams that I'll never forget, but honestly, I can't remember the thousands of...

All five of them are autistic, too? Are they adopted or all related? It seems odd that FIVE kids in one family would all have autism?

I'm glad to hear that you have such a good relationship with them, despite their circumstances :) Poor lil things.

Yeah, the title "pastor" doesn't mean jack anymore. I've known "pastors" who were anything but the rest of the week. They'd put on a suit on Sunday, say a few Bible verses and feel-good words, then go home and get drunk and cuss and yell at their families... oy veh. That is a heartbreaking...

Tins - wow, that is sooooo sad and unfortunate :( HOWEVER, that family is extremely lucky to have you. Your caring and efforts probably go a lot farther than you realize. While growing up in a dirty house isn't the worse thing that can happen to a kid, I really hope those parents wake up and...

I posted about this on another thread... I am absolutely fascinated by the scientific and historical aspect of it! I feel terrible for the people who were injured by the blasts (mostly flying glass), but so far there are no death reports, so I'm glad for that. I think the event itself...

Fais, you're very welcome. You can send me a message anytime by using the PM (Private Message) feature on this site, OK? I'll be praying for you :) Life can get better, I promise!

Fais, I'm so glad that you came to this forum and shared your story with us :) You remind me a lot of my own brother. We had a very painful childhood, and he turned to drugs as a young teen, and stayed on drugs and was a criminal for many years. He finally got off drugs about 10 years ago, and...

I'm really sorry for those who were injured and the damage that was done by the meteor that exploded over Russia, but I couldn't help thinking how freakin COOL that is! I hope that's not heartless of me. I just got all wide-eyed and excited when I read the article, and was like "WOW THAT IS SO...

Tins - how would you feel about just voluntarily cleaning up a bit while you're there? Do you think the family would feel offended if you did that? Just thinking it might ease your concerns a bit, and help the family out at the same time. Maybe that's already something you do, I don't know. Can...

I didn't blame the hubby. Divorce is almost never a one-person's-fault event. I'd also like to add that I don't think it's a good thing for a husband and wife to attend separate churches. That makes no sense to me. You're supposed to be united, one flesh, etc... yet you worship and fellowship...

Nobody here but us chickens! :) Seriously - what's up, OP?

I would definitely suggest counseling. Sadly, guys seem to "try" a lot more when they're dating/courting, and once they "have" their woman (wife), they just... stop. It's like they think, once they've got a ring on your hand, and they have their "husbandly rights" to you in bed, your heart, your...

Darlin', all you need to know about hell is in God's Word. And that you don't wanna go there. Dwelling on it is not good for you (or any of us).

Suppur, one thing you need to remember all through your life: just because you're right, doesn't mean you can convince another person of that. Sure, you're right that "age is no excuse" and "you can't count on them finding God". But will that argument MAKE them listen to you? Nope. You can't...

Being filled with God and wanting to talk about Him and reach others is a great thing. However, we're also told to use our heads around other people (both unbelievers and fellow Christians) so that we don't offend anyone unnecessarily. Remember that, while speaking the truth in love is...
