I also saw the video

Good video bro!!!

I literally LOL'd (I hate that phrase, so that means I actually did laugh) at "It's like not putting ketchup on food, you just don't do it!"


I agree with that last part, Singles really has gotten worse in the just two years I have been here. I want to go back to the way it was, one of the reasons I'm avoiding stupid and pointless debates.


ps you did leave me out, but it's all good.

I'm sorry, hahahaha. I swear, my brain just shuts down when I do shoutouts and I end up forgetting people I shouldn't be forgetting. Lol. :doh: I am going to do another video, but I'll make a point at dedicating it to you and Toro specifically.

Overall, a great video! You did really good. I wish I could just talk steadily like that and really express what's on my mind so well.

You know Saucy, I agree with a lot of what you say on these forums. I also felt like singles have a unique opportunity to serve. I even tried to organize some volunteer work with other single guys but nobody wanted to do it. So I understand where you are coming from and that frustration.

But don't hold people to it. Everyone is at different stages of spiritual growth. And this is an internet community so it would be much harder to organize something on here. But you know what? There are probably hundreds of people who lurk these forums. We may be inadvertently helping people or leading them to Christ by simply trying to post in a kind, respectful, and edifying way. Of course, we are still learning and come from all sorts of backgrounds but I'm sure most of us at least have good intentions to try and help each other when we post.

It's just kind of frustrating because I think sometimes people totally misunderstand me or don't even realize what they're saying. I suppose it's inevitable to have little quarrels here and there (especially on the internet) but I hate to see animosity and drama (especially amongst Christians). So yeah, above all, let's not forget the love of Christ which trumps everything. :)

Yeah I really feel God trying to lead me to unite Christians, beyond denominational lines to help others. And to do ministry online and help the homeless. I also work with the kids and teens. A lot of people spend a good amount of their time online and they're struggling. You can see a lot of people here who are struggling and just need someone to listen or to minister to them and I hope I can get to a place where I can do that.

I have plans in place for creating a blog-type website with a group of volunteers who help minister to others online and growing the "Impact Flint!" into a non-profit with a bunch of volunteers from different churches. I have a heart for the hurting and the needy because that's where God has taken me.

Maybe He has taken you different places and has different plans for you. I'm certain He has. We all don't have the same plans. But if it's my goal/plan to try and unite us, but I definitely won't hold people or force them to do anything.

Thanks for the video Saucy.

I'm not hiding anything, as I have said before, I don't show my serious side much because to be honest, people need a laugh more than they need my opinion, after all, you know what they say bout opinions. :D

I usually tend to stay out of this thread mostly because I don't have anything to share (and usually no one shouts-out to me), but Sauceman skyped me last night to go take a peek at his vid...so I thought I'd at least say somethin' here. :)

Tony, I'm really touched that you did mention me. I really don't think I've been the greatest friend, but whatever happens, you know I will always be here. My shoulder's are small, but they can carry a lot. :D
But yeah...thank you for the shout-out, thank you for your kindness, and thank you overall for being my friend. :hug:

I mentioned you in the video I had to redo, but then forgot about to do that again in my remake, and didn't realize till after I posted. :doh:
