    26 year old stepson buying a house to live in with his mother long term.

    My 26 year old step son has only ever lived away from his mother for a short period of time since graduating from university, he didn't have a positive experience of doing so, but didn't really give it much of a chance, so moved back in with his mother and stayed there because in his own words...

    Intermittent bouts of rage...

    I love my husband very much and 99% of the time he is everything I ever wanted in a husband and we have been very happy for the past 17 years, but he gets intermittent bouts of rage over normal domestic frustrations which are totally out of proportion to the thing which triggered him. For the...

    The kindness of strangers.

    Do you believe most people are intrinsically good, decent, well intentioned and willing to help? Or have you experienced a community of selfish, rude or even violent behaviour? My husbands life was saved by a group of complete strangers last week, when he began chocking on his breakfast in a...

    Replacement of BC & AD with CE& BCE further erosion of our religious and cultural identity.

    Have you come across articles and documentaries that say CE ( the common era ) and B CE ( before common era ) instead of AD And BC? Apparently this was introduced in schools in the UK in 2002 and Australia in 2011 is now in widespread use in order to not offend anyone in our country who is not a...

    What does being 'Dead in Christ' mean to you?

    What does being 'Dead in Christ' mean to you? I am exploring this idea, and I think it means handing over or sacrificing your worldly desires to God, so you can leave behind a sinful life and start a new one with God, it's a dying so that you can truly live. Your thoughts? What this meant to...

    A sign

    Do you ever have signs? I pray daily as a would be christian and am immersing myself in the Bible and God related literature daily, and intensely for 3 months. I woke up this morning and a word came to me very clearly just as I awoke, it was 'Nascent', I had heard this word before, but I didn't...

    I'm a binge drinker, please pray for me.

    I'm making this post as a first time admission that I have a problem with alcohol binge drinking, I feel it's important to admit this to other persons apart from God which I have finally done age 61. I have been hiding from getting help because I didn't want it, I enjoy partying, but it has been...

    What on earth is song of songs all about?

    What is song of songs all about? And why is it in the Bible? It doesn't seem to have any message or conclusion, it just seems to be an expression of being in love between a handsome man and a beautiful woman, I'm not sure what semantic contortions you would have to do to read anything Godly into...

    The old testament is polluting my brain.

    The old testament is a litany of wickedness and every evil and unrighteous aspect of human nature, with few exceptions. If this were presented as an example of how not to live I could continue reading it, but as the God of the old testament commands and condones atrocities, I feel it is...

    Tinitus and spiritual awakening?

    I have recently been having tinnitus during and after reading the Bible, and in fact much of the time as I am submerging myself in Bible studies almost constantly. I have only ever experienced tinitus after coming out of a noisy place before, but my home and my life is exceptionally quiet, so...

    Cruel to be kind? Or possessed by devils?

    Do you think God let's you stumble and fall endlessly until you come to him from your own free will? Even if that means you might never learn in this lifetime? And your life is like groundhog day only a 100 times more painful, and disappointing. Or do you think God turns his back on those who...

    Contradictions in the Bible?

    In Mathew 18, A brother who sins against you, ..... says that if a brother who refuses to listen to you, witnesses and the Church if he has sinned against you, then you should treat him like the tax collector or pagans, ( who I believe were shunned and despised, ) and then contradicts himself by...

    Intimate communion with God, what does that mean?

    What do you pray about for extended periods of time? When I pray it's usually no longer than for a few minutes and fairly simple, but I watched a documentary about Benedictine nuns praying for hours silently, does anyone else do that? What goes on in your head? They talk about an intimate...

    Allegories in your daily life?

    Do you ever find allegories in your daily life that reflect your spiritual path? I do. I cleaned out the sink in my artist studio today which was so disgusting and built up with all the detritus of every creative project I've had for the past year that it was blocked and no longer functioning...
