This is my first post here. My “starter” if you will….
My husband of 47 years passed last September so I am a new “widow.” I really detest that term, but it is what it is.
Are there any other widows here??

Raised in the church, but born again about age 40, I attend church services regularly and especially enjoy Bible studies. Eschatology has always been highly favored.

I am a retired educator—high school English. My husband, who was a FL state certified General Residential Contractor & Home Inspector and I operated business for about 20 years. I performed all office operations.

When we retired in 2019, we relocated from South FL to Central FL to be near our daughter and her family.

It is my hopes to have some interesting conversations with like minded people here.

Welcome, sister in Christ. My condolences for your husband. Hopefully you find this forum inviting.

I am not much into eschatology, but there is a huge thread here devoted to end-times studies.

Hello and welcome to the forum @Veve13 . I also am sorry for your loss. But your welcome to join in and distract yourself. Jesus loves you.
I like that….”distract yourself.” Yes that is a great descriptor of my life these days.

That is terrible, I can't imagine what that is like. We do have an area where some have gathered to talk. Here is a link my friend (link)

With your husband's business you were a busy lady during School. I always like teaching. I am wondering as a teacher how long it took for you to get over correcting or focusing on all the bad grammar out here. Being in construction it took a while for me not to be bothered by shady work. Now I don't even notice things like I use to unless I look.

Ah family

Here is a link to the Eschatology subforum (Link). Maybe you will find something or someone interesting there.
