What's on your mind?

I feel my agreement to wear corny "Christmas" jumpers throughout the month of December more than makes up for my dislike of putting distracting glittery tinsel all over my computer screen and desk.

The Christmas Box Holder disagrees. Naked computers are not allowed in the month of December.

Tinsel it is.

Why wear a corny Christmas jumper when you can wear a dinosaur onesie? That's my opinion, anyway.

Work may take issue with a pink dinosaur terrorising the tea room.

Sounds like it's time for a new job, love.

(sigh) I think I'm done serving.

I've been out of work due to health problems for months now so I can't raise any money for donations. I'm tired of helping out all these drunk bums out in the streets who get all these special privileges for being born with a certain heritage. I'm burnt out from clicking links all day on FreeRice.com to feed people I will never meet. I'm tired of babysitting a mentally disabled person every week because he has an unhealthy fixation for me. Collecting bottles and cans around town is no longer profitable because everyone else is doing it. I'm tired of being generous because people are abusing my generosity to no end. I'm tired of even living for my mother's sake when all she does is sit on the chair and play on her iPad every waking moment while complaining about my every mistake.

God, I'd like an early retirement. Just strike me down before I lose it.

Feminists.

This came from the horses mouth itself that she has been sexually active. I don't fall into mere gossip, thanks.

You make me appear to be some kind of oppressor. A women's sleeping around, oh no, it must be gossip, you don't know what you're talking about or know the right story! Let's place your sin on the scales against her. You are judging her. You are accusing her!

I'm all saying is that it surprised me to hear of this. Sometimes people aren't all what you think they appear to be.

Feminist ?? What's the got to do with anything ?

Erm actually it is gossip you've just came on a forum and told this women business, you didn't need to go into so much detail.

And I don't believe you that she told you she's been sleeping around with different men, if that was the case and she's that open she would have said in the first place

You are judging her!

Wait. You are a game creator, Senkaku?

Please don't say that, Wayholka. No matter how frustrating or even painful circumstances will seem many a time, surely you do not mean that.

I wasn't sure what you meant by feminist, so I looked it up. By definition it means you're calling me one who supports women having social, legal, economical, and political rights equal to those of men. In this case, you are correct and thank you for noticing.

I agree, you both are feminists!

Everyone, I know I have been scarce lately, and intended to be so to deal with a personal problem, but I thought it might be beneficial to me to ask for your prayers concerning my intended move North. Subconsciously, I had been holding back all this past year I had been living with Mama Knight on the move, a part of me not wanting to proceed into the unknown like this, starting a new life in another country entirely. But at last the Spirit has moved me to get back on with things, and I saw that I would need practical with the process of immigration, as there are so many steps and nuances to the procedure, thus I gathered the courage to consult with an immigration attorney on the matter a few days ago. It will be costly to acquire their help in completing all of the steps necessary for successful immigration to Ontario, but I have asked the Spirit as honestly as I know how if He approves of me using the money my grandfather graciously left for me upon his passing last year for this purpose, and He has approved. I have much work to do in the months to come. Please pray for the Spirit to guide me successfully there to Ontario and that He will protect me from any kind of failure or loss along the way, if it truly is His will for me to make this journey. I do not know how much more confident I myself can be that it is, though. Only by the words of 1 John 4:1-3, can I live by when it comes to following God's will for me.


How odd. Towards the beginning of this year, I wondered for a bit (rather excitedly at the time, I have no shame in admitting ) if the Lord was guiding me to you, @Swan7 , by telling me to go towards your country. But instead, He clearly has something else in mind for each of us, as He seems to be guiding you here to where I am now, while at the same time He beckons me in the general direction you are coming FROM. Virtually trading places. Strange way things turn out in life, isn't? ^-^

 

[Sketcher]

and your willingness to assume she's making these choices out of blatant disrespect for her creator without consideration of what may be going on in her life that brought her to make a poor choice.

Ultimately . . . when is that not the reason?

I could say 'meat pie' next....

A lady I saw on the street was eating a meat pie for lunch

and I would have all the animal rights and vegetarian activists at my throat

I'm at the point in my life where I am suffering from chronic compassion fatigue. I have helped so many people in life and very few of them had the common courtesy to return the favor. God made me a certain way that was completely unacceptable to the world so my relationship with others is parasitic at best. They have no problem accepting my gifts of time, money and possessions but can't seem to include me in anything. Just more requests for handouts.

I'm also thinking, "What's the point of any of this? Is this actually going to please God, or will it all be a waste since I desired a little praise for my efforts?" Bible Verses like Matthew 6:1-4 make me feel that all my efforts are a waste because I like having a little praise in a life where I'm constantly told since birth that I'm defective and need to be fixed otherwise they might as well throw me in the trash.

The more I read the Bible, the more I feel that the cards are stacked against me on the Judgement day. I'd rather just die and get the Heavenly humiliation over with.

actually lol'd. perfect.

 

[Jack of Spades]

I wanted to have a goal in life, so I tried to save the world.

Then I realized I can't save the world, so I might as well forget about that and just mind my own business and try to be happy.

Then I realized I can't be happy because the world is burning, so I might as well just spend my time watching the world while it's burning and document what's happening.

Then I realized that it's getting boring, so I might as well learn to appreciate the fireworks.

Then I realized that now that I have become to enjoy the show, I might as well work to help it burn faster.

Now I have a goal in life.

As rough as that sounds, mate, it sounds like you're doing Christianity right.

Are you doing your good deeds to get recognition? I've never gotten that impression, but I'm just an internet person. If you're doing stuff so people will think you're a good guy... that's what the passage is talking about.

Remember the story of the father who poses the scenario to his son: If you came home with a skin of water on a hot day and your mother and I were both thirsty, to whom would you give the water? The boy replies he would give it to his father which was the wrong answer; giving it to his mother was also the wrong answer. Finally he asks who should get the water, and his father replies that the boy should drink it so that he can have the strength to fetch water for his parents.

Take care of yourself, friend. You clearly have been graced with talents and abilities, but it seems like you're overdoing it. Step back and recover so you can return to productive service for our King.

I think that desiring just A LITTLE bit of praise for your caring ways is understandable, and totally normal. That doesn't automatically equal underhanded or selfish intentions, at least not in my eyes. Of course, God knows your heart here better than anyone, but I for one would doubt that He sees only pride or selfishness there. Caring can be extremely taxing, especially when you see no encouragement or light praise from others for it, giving you the strength to keep on sacrificing in whatever way that you do for the good of others, confident that it is not all in vain.

Life is precious, Wayholka, including your own. Do not be so quick to wish it over. If you believe in Christ, then there is ultimately no need to fear humiliation in the wake of God's judgment unto destruction. He is merciful. And I am sure He would rather you keep on keeping on with your life here in the present.

I do hope I have understood your grievances which you have expressed here well enough that you find my words of help. If you have not, if I have missed the point you may have been trying to make, then I apologize.
