What's on your mind?

I don't really want to get into it.

Just depressing. Still helps me to share my grief... even if vague, lol.

Big hugs.

Well regardless of your reservations, I hope it is okay for you.

What's with all these thread resurrections?

Did somebody order the Tranquil Bondservant restoration spam service?

That would be me. I wasn't expecting the delivery until next Friday, what a delight!

I'm curious about the time it would require for me to manually transcribe the complete Bible, encompassing both the Old and New Testaments... I imagine years...

This is my last post. I wish you well and heaven's best. May all your dreams come true and have the Lord's blessing upon them.

@SarahsKnight, May you find the apple of your eye and your days be filled with bliss.
@Multifavs, May you find the courage to bless the world with your talent in the way God intended.
To one gone but not forgotten. I pray you have the peace and comfort you craved.

@public hermit, You have so much to give. I hope you remember that in dark times and leave your cave because you're needed.
@ReesePiece23, I hope you find the happiness you deserve and never stop painting and encouraging others to look beyond themselves to brighter shores. Maybe we'll cross paths in the future.
@Myles, You're a fount of wisdom that's sorely needed. I hope you put your thoughts on paper and share them with the world.

@.Mikha'el., The hard part is done. All you have to do is believe and take another step and you'll get there.
@Saucy, You're embarking on something wonderful. He chose you for a reason. Remember that when times are hard.
@DragonFox91, I'm proud of you. You keep trying and fighting. Every time you do it makes me smile. You'll find the one you seek. Trust the process.

And last but not least, what can I say @MehGuy, you've changed a lot from the person I messaged years ago with the catchy slogan. It's going to be okay. I wouldn't say it if I felt otherwise. The end result will surprise you. Don't fight it. Embrace the change. You've earned it. Be happy.

God bless you. Thank you for your insight and wisdom.

We will miss Bella. Her wisdom is a great help to all on here. Sad to hear but I had honestly thought she had left for good a long time ago....& God tends to raise new people up! May the Lord bless her & keep her. May the Lord's light shine on her in all she does now & forever.

Amen! She was wonderful.

A quick Google indicates that the Bible contains approximately 750,000 words, although it can be more or less depending on the translation. So you could get it done in around two years if you can do an average of 1,000 words per day. That's not too onerous in itself, but the challenge would be maintaining that average for that length of time.

As a single person, I spend hours and hours alone. Is that normal?

Does it feel normal to you? If so, yes it is. If no, it may not be. Not everyone is designed for lots of alone time. I am. Even when I'm in a relationship, I need a lot of alone time.

God's always with you, so you're never really alone!

But I think what Geek said is true. It's only abnormal if you dislike it. At that point, it becomes self deprecating.

I would say reflect on it.

A lofty goal... Well... I think I can manage.

It would be an excellent way to practice penmanship!

Thanks for your perspective.

I'm not too happy. I got a 60% on my Old Testament Survey 3 quiz about Ezekiel and Daniel.

60% just means you've got 40% more knowledge to gain! You didn't lose anything, you only gained insight on something that you may need to focus on. Silver lining, my friend!

There is so much going on and yet there is not much that I can actually control, if that makes any sense.

The serenity prayer comes to mind. I hope you don't find yourself stressed out!
