• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don't really want to get into it.

Just depressing. Still helps me to share my grief... even if vague, lol.
Well regardless of your reservations, I hope it is okay for you.

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...
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!

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!
