I have been doing good! I'm so happy my tetras are doing good! They are swimming good! They help keep my mind off dating. Plus the books.

Isn't it just a mask tho? The wound is still there isn't it?
Am glad to hear you are doing good!! :) I love watching fish, they are so cute!!!

Is anyone else still not used to the time change yet? I keep losing track of the time.
I don't know if I will ever get used to the concept of "time" in general. :muahah:

Again, that's because you live in that side of the lake where they have a whole different concept of time.

I actually met up with a woman last night - haven't done that for a while.

I haven't actually seen her since high school, so I didn't really know what I was getting into. Thankfully, age, a failed marriage, a child, and a new found faith has done wonders. She's got a certain confidence about her and a level of emotional intelligence that I really dig. (She understands me better than I initially thought, including my need for independence.)

We went back to hers, had coffee (both respecting each others boundaries at this stage) and caught each other up over the last 15 years. She seems really keen to make this a regular thing, and I'm surprised at myself for how docile I feel about that. In the past I've panicked at this stage and run a mile screaming "I happy and content on my own, I want to be single" - no, none of that.

It's always impossible to tell at this stage where things will go. And to be honest, I'm not stressing about that - she hasn't given me a reason to. She'll do what's right for her, and likewise, I'll do what's right for me.

Funny though, how it's been 15 years and she looks a day older. Me on the other hand? Well...

It's funny how that happens! I relate a lot! Haha! It's probably a good thing to want to do things, but then makes it harder to catch up on sleep after a busy week!!! ^_^

Are you trying to get over an addiction? If not, you may be taking things too drastically. I rarely play video games but still have my system hooked up.

It's not drastic at all. It's more like this.

Philippians 3: 7-9
But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

I have for many years lived in a very worldy fashion. I have come to the point where it does not give me the satisfaction it once did. I still have my comics and anime to go through. The plan is to get that out the door too.

I am letting go of that life to prepare myself for the life I want to live. Wich is a more traditional life down the line with wife and kids, God willing. Then there are also more practical skills I want to attain like a drivers license , a hunting permit. Then after that, get a car, a rifle. Also a house with some land, grow my own crops, I want to live of the land and count my blessings. Essentially live a simple God fearing life.

Sitting on a couch, reading comics, watching anime and playing videos games. I did that as a kid and as a teenager and my youth. I'm 41 now. It's time for me to get off that couch.

Everyone, I ask for your prayers for myself and a couple that I know. Please pray for them to find their way; as it is a demanding society sometimes and we unfortunately have to have so much money in order to live comfortably within it. And as for myself, I have finally turned down helping them for once, as I have found myself feeling resentful as of late about having to do so. And that isn't right, for the Lord clearly desires for us to give freely and cheerfully. :(

This is a challenging time that will grow increasingly difficult. We’re in for a long stretch. Don’t part with resources you can’t afford to do without. It isn’t going to turn around soon.

I say that to you as your sister and one who follows the market. It will get worse. Don’t overextend yourself. You’ve done a great deal in that situation and honored the Lord. :yellowheart:
