    How to Handle a Very Slow Job

    I work a 40-hour a week office job. I'm blessed to have it, but my concern is that it can often be very, very slow. There have been weeks where they've only had 4 hours of work for me to do. How do I spend the other 36 hours? I'll admit that's an extreme example, but most days here are still...

    Career/College Advice *help*

    (I posted this in the college life forum as well, I'm not totally positive how this site works, sorry :)) In all of high school I never considered that I might not be good at what I planned to do in college.

    Very Lost *help*

    In all of high school I never considered that I might not be good at what I planned to do in college. I decided at around 16 that I wanted to be a doctor. So I applied for the biggest STEM school in my state as a pre-med neuroscience major. However, after my first year at this school, I've...

    God Deepened My Faith

    This is a serious entry. Because I'm starting to take my faith really seriously. God has been doing a lot for me for days now. Encouraging me and strengthening me (and convicting me and chastening me for some sins that just has to go). He has been sorting out the confusion in my mind, and...

    Hi! Thank you in advance for reading and replying! I am a new babe in Christ. I am working on rebuilding my life, but most importantly I want it centered around Jesus. I am going back to work soon and must choose between two jobs. One is a carpentry job that is at least 10 or 15 miles away...

    New year, old problems

    I'm feeling quite despairing at the moment of ever finding a life partner or even a fulfilling social life and career. I've registered on a dating site where my messages to men whose profiles I like never get returned. All I ever say is I like the look of their profile or it seems we've some...

    work matters...

    OBJECTOR: The other day I was reading the book of Galatians, and it struck me how much emphasis Paul places on faith as the means of salvation. Then I asked myself how Catholics can believe in justification by works. If the Catholic Church really believes the Bible, as it claims, how can it...

    Labour not for the meat that perisheth,...

    I know this is probably a stupid question, but recently every time I read John 6 :27 , I see it as Jesus commanding that His followers should not work for food. I know that this is contrary to many other teachings in the Bible, but I take thing very literal a lot of the time and this is just...

    Working and not working

    1 Timothy 5:8 2 Thess 3:6-12 Picking up on these verses, it seems that if a person doesn't work he is somewhat "condemned", for lack of a better word. But if a person has an illness and lives in pain and fear and doesn't work because of that, is he still "condemned"? Is he justified by the...

    What foundation are you building on? The Master of the Universe, as a special gift to each one of us before we retire from our work, to build one last piece of work as representative of what we have put into our job that had been given us to perform. As each is a master of their own talent...

    NOT masturbating is stopping me from getting work done

    Hi. I've been masturbating since I was 13. I've been trying to stop (Really stop) masturbating for about 2 years now. My longest streak of successes has been 65 days. My struggle isn't with porn. I don't care much for it. The problem I've had is not being able to get work done when I stop...

    Working for a Christian non-profit - disillusioned

    After many decades working for a Christian non-profit organization, and for most of that time being happy and fulfilled in the service of God and his people, I find that in recent years it has been taken over by the same superficial image-chasing kind of leadership which is increasingly...

    Christian pastor boyfriend or my dream career?

    After a sin-filled life growing up in LA, my life was radically changed when I came to Christ 11 months ago.
