    Health and Fitness Goals

    I had to make some dietary changes due to being diagnosed prediabetic four years ago. My a1c was 3/10 of a point higher back in may than it was when I was diagnosed. During the past couple of months I have gotten more serious about dietary changes, going low-carb, and am down 15 pounds from my...

    My First Dating Story. Thoughts and Advice?

    I appreciate everyone's insight and of course, welcome more. I'm thinking it would probably be a good idea for me to put dating on the back-burner and focus on self-improvement for now.

    My First Dating Story. Thoughts and Advice?

    So, I met someone via mutual friends about 5 months ago. I thought he seemed like a nice guy, although we didn't have a lot of conversation at that point. Eventually, we began going out about once a week starting at the end of January. We live about two hours away from each other and we both...

    Question about Paul and Jesus' teachings on Salvation

    Hey, all. I’m not sure which forum this would best fit under, so Mods, please feel free to relocate this post to the appropriate forum, but I wanted to get folk’s take on some posts I noticed on a friend’s Facebook page which I’ve copied and pasted here. This friend is someone whom I would...

    So why have you never dated?

    My biggest obstacle to never having dated is due to being introverted and a homebody and never going out to socialize with others if I'm not either working or running errands. It's something I need to change, which would definitely increase my chances of meeting people and making new friends.

    Causes of Singleness

    I relate to these the most, particularly 1, 7, 12, and 15. There's never really been people close to my own age at the churches I've attended. I've met people at work (primarily customers in retail, who had been interested, but faith-wise, we were incompatible. I'm a homebody, so don't really...

    Are You Brave Enough to Post A Picture of Yourself?

    This was from earlier this month at a Christmas party for local kids and their families in the community that I was working. They had puppies for the kids to play with and this is one of the puppies I was holding. It was a great event to make these kid's Christmas a little bit better.

    2019 Reflections

    I ended up getting a full time position at work a couple of months ago after having worked there part time for almost two years. It's still taking a little getting used to after not working full time for the better part of a decade. I'm thankful for having my family still with me. I want to grow...

    Black Friday/Cyber Monday Yay or Nay?

    I worked retail for a lot of years, so working on Thanksgiving/Black Friday was a mandatory thing. Thankfully, we never had any issues with the customers that I was ever aware of. It was tiring after a full shift, though. I haven't been out shopping on Black Friday in several years. It's easier...

    Do you like kids?

    I like kids, particularly those of infant/toddler age. I've always been great with friends kids and usually find myself being the unofficial babysitter in some instances. Their parents have always been appreciative of that. Watching these kids grow up and blossom is a blessing.
