Yes, i used weights at school age. Me and my brother and mates. We didnt care too much about form.
I didnt play sport in school though and i wasnt very academically minded either in those days. I left school when i was 16. Didnt bother with education after that, unfortunately.
Failing 9th grade twice, ended up leaving school at the age of 16. The principle told me that I would reach the age of 21 by the time it came to graduate. So decided to leave, it was a sad day with some crying involved. Can not remember the year, though 4 years later, decided to get my Ged.
My two favorite subjects in school were English, and the study of the planets.
Went to college twice but disliked school, though the second time going had a religion class that I would show up a few times that opened doors for the Lord to come around eventually, (can not remember the age, probably 21)
Did not chase after anything much for education either, other than when turning 26, seeking after the Lord became more apparent because of the void that the world had left me with.
Are you brothers still doing well, and your family?
By dying inside, i mean suffering with depression or anxiety and being down and sad about life. Where i am in life. The misery.
Many times i have asked God to take me. I think many people do this when they are suffering in some way or another. Its just wanting an escape from the suffering. Be it physical or mental.
My friend, let me be the first to tell you, that even at the age you are 56, sometimes here at the age of almost 30 years old sometimes thoughts creep into my head about just desiring to go back on home to be with God too.
Life is tough sometimes, and especially if you are finding it harder to find any joy out of it, and for me it is understandable sometimes how we get down really low.
Your actions about going to God is our safest bet, because he cares about us deeply, and nothing will be able to separate us from his love thankfully. I share with you in this burden my friend to remind you that we are all human and it is a normal process.
Ups and downs, nothing new under the sun. Though we should be allowed to express these transgressions and things that bring us down, and the things that have brought us up in life.
Yes, i agree. God bless all of the wonderful people in this thread and these fine forums. Its my go to place without a doubt.
Though not knowing them it is always a meaningful thing to remind others how important they are in life, also to remind them we all need support and encouragement in this tough life, along with praying for each other. We entertain strangers without even knowing through our abilities of kindness by the spirit of Christ with-in us, even if we are only in their life for a mere moment.
That mere moment can always possibly leave an impression on them for a lifetime.
