I guess many of us struggle in our own ways. My sister was only ten when I moved away from home. She's about an hour's drive, but we've never been very involved in one anoher's life. She visits me two or three times per year.

No worries, Dave. Sometimes I'm too outspoken anyway. I intend to hang around. Online fellowship helps to keep lonliness at bay. I will try to be an asset here

What do you do with your time? I don't need constant interaction either, but I would like a bit more than I have with my boys. They're still young, early 20s. Lonliness creeps in, especially during the winter when I feel trapped inside.



It is always good to review the rules...we can get chatty, maybe tooooo much sometimes.


I probably could use more interaction too, but people are busy and few want to talk about Jesus...I have a brother, he lives about 6 hour's drive away...we have not spoken in about 5 years...we never had a fight, we just never bonded, I don't know why.

I have a friend coming by later, we will go out for an early dinner at a nicer fast food place. We have supported each other a long time now...she works full time, is close to my age. Her husband divorced her sometime ago...she has made a remarkably fulfilling life for herself...I am so glad to know here.

Yes, I'm glad you have a friend like that. We all need them. Enjoy! Bev is bringing me a Super Big Boy for dinner. Sometimes I give into my cravings. I'm skipping the fries and having a green salad from my refrigerator.


I have one other very close friend, we don't see each other often, but we have long talks by phone...both these friends know just about everything there is to know about me. They are truly gifts to me.

One of the great things about being a Christian is never being alone. God is with us every step of the way that we allow Him, and the Holy Spirit of God lives in our hearts. A variety of prayer needs have been mentioned in recent posts, and you will be in my prayers. I give thanks that God loves to hear our prayers.

There are two kinds of PEACE I want to mention today:

Peace with God.
The Peace of God.

As Christians, we make Peace with God when we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, ask God to forgive our sins, and ask Him to be the Lord over our lives. When we look for PEACE, we can always find it in and from God.

Philippians 4:6-7 KJV Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Thank you 'aloneagain' Sis'

I too, have that 'outspoken' trait

If [when] my heart is full... of 'something'
it can [and often, did] simply 'flood-out'
Such, that I have [in the past] been so-astonished,
by the callous behaviour of others
that I have 'called-them' for their errors and selfishness [in forums]
and subsequently; have fallen foul ~of the rules, for my responses,
were seen as 'flaming' and making others feel 'uncomfortable' [?]

Made the worse, because the posts I had responded to
had by then, received edits ~and so, were, 'nothing-much, to complain about'

I don't think these people, have any idea
that we CAN...
#click, to: PRINT THIS PAGE to save an entire page of posts [^ 40 posts per page]
#In Print Properties; select PRINT TO FILE
#In Save Page, SAVE-AS: "web page"
That 'later' we can use this FILE
#to PRINT PREVIEW.....
and so,
#copy and paste them, in, 'AS ORIGINAL' posts [?]

In such a manner, the door is then 'closed' upon them who would flaunt the rules
~to disrupt the peace of our forums

I was 'challenged' recently, to examine someone's message archive [for 'innocence']
but of-course, those posts have been edited [hours and even one day later]
This is evident in all cases
~where time of posting and last edited by poster reveals
the time taken, to alter the original post
Such deceitfulness, is not the way of, the majority of members here



your Bro'
