Nothing comes from nothingness. Your husband sounds like a man that has learned some hard lessons from life. The hardest lesson to learn is that love exists no matter how hard our lives get...and we are the ones who create it! Choose to love the ones around you...even if others slap you in the...

Your Dad sounds really unhappy with his home life. We are all weak in certain areas, and that's the truth. We all want to be loved. So, love your Dad. Give him a hug and talk to him about his life. Maybe his interpretation about his life is different from your interpretation of his life...you know?

I would agree with SoldierOfSoul that the Earth is estimated at being 4.54 billion years old, based on the empirical evidence. What does the Earth's age have to do with your faith in God? As my conception of the universe grew so did my conception of God...I never completely lost faith and now...

Peace, That was a real confession, and I really appreciate your candor and honesty. Christ taught us to do one thing...to love each other as he loved us. What does that mean? Man can do one of two things, he can create something or he can destroy something. A man that loves something pours...

Peace, You have been yoked with a heavy burden. I think that a person in your position has to set clear boundaries for yourself regarding both your illness and your spiritual life. You have to have an awareness of what each one looks like and how each one sounds on their own and also when they...

My experience was that I explored my unbelief over the course of several years (and still am) and let it slowly, and sometimes painfully, reveal to me what I really believe in, like peeling back the layers of an onion. There isn't anything wrong with the top layers but you need to find the...

Concerning the issue with your mother: I think it is good that you are working to forgive her and have made an honest attempt to reconcile the relationship. I think that is probably all you can do, especially if the other person is not willing to do their share of the work to repair the...

I am absolutely sure you don't want to hear this right now but, give it some time. The loss of a relationship can take months or even years to recover from emotionally. Now is a time to stay close to your family, friends, church and most importantly to God. Make sure you pray everyday and, once...

Talking to your mom may be a good idea but be ready for a potentially very unpleasant experience. Therapy is probably a good idea too, maybe for you as well at some point...having someone to help you untangle the knot in a good thing. Peace

Thanks for your reflection. I think that meditating on death and the reality of our own mortality can have a powerful impact on our perception of life and how we choose to engage those closest to us; those who are so very important to us but who often times are pushed into our peripheral vision...

You can find most of them on the internet for free or you can buy them in a bookstore. Start by searching for the Apocryphal and Gnostic Gospels. Peace

That sounds like a really serious dilemma. You kind of unexpectedly walked into a mine field there didn't you? Your sister is very angry and has a journal full of confessions of being sexually abused. Either those confessions are true and she is angry because of the abuse or she is suffering...

Sometimes all we can do is endure. There was a time in my life when I prayed every single night that I would not wake up from my sleep...this made me feel guilty so I added to it that if I did wake up that I would do my duty to myself (by caring for myself properly), my family who depend on me...

Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is to be a good example. The Lord walked among us to show us how to live and now we who call him our God are called to do the same. Peace

I agree with Bliz. I think you should wait until you are completely independent and really prepared to face the person that dominated you for so long. This may be a really long time, probably even years, but the time will benefit you and your position. When you confront him he will probably not...

I agree with the above posts...and will only add that it is extremely difficult for a man to gain custody of a child from a mother who is functional. She can also contact the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, which pays service members, for further guidance. She is the one that has all the...

The previous posts are good...I would only like to ask whether you are hurting others through your lust? Have you ever crossed the line with someone else or is this something which you have successfully limited to yourself? If the former is the case I would suggest turning yourself in to law...

Peace, In your heart of hearts you want to create an ideal home for your children, with a healthy mother/father relationship, but you know that you cannot. I can't imagine that pain. Whatever feeling of failure you are feeling, it is false. You are a mother, that is the best and most you can...

Brother, I am sure that you are not an angel, as I am not. Yet, through all that I have experienced and seen, the suffering, the torment and the deprivation I have always been able to lay my weary head on the Father's shoulder and weep. That is why I and we ought to worship God. It is our of...

Peace, Whether you are a "Christian" or not is not as important as what you will do in this seemingly small yet profound family dispute. You said, "I almost took my dad aside at Christmas and told him about how Lizze told me she felt and how she wants to have a relationship with him. I...
