What's on your mind?

I ordered two books. Both are written by Christian authors. The first one is "The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex" by Shelia Wray Gregoire. The second book is written by the same author with her husband, "The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex".

I bought both after reading an excerpt online. The women's version affirmed what I felt; the man's version, I felt like women could benefit from it also.

I know the books are geared for married couples, but I think singles can benefit from them.

I joked before, but I have to admit, yours definitely wasn't an answer I was expecting.

Same here. It doesn't seem like a book topic that would be very high on the agenda for us single folks.

*gasp*

The S-Word! Good girls NEVER think about that!

I guess I'm a bad girl.

My hair is getting long and is black… and my cat is also black. So I currently am suffering from seeing my hair move in my peripheral vision and being convinced it’s my cat asking to jump in my lap.

I've been on this knowledge journey for several years now about God's design for sex.

I didn't get the talk growing up. I think that's part of it. I was left to figure it out on my own.

When you need help, people won’t help you.

When you don’t need help, people want to help you

Love your current avatar, @TheRealAriel . Of course, you always were quite the fashionista. ^-^

Ugh, this time of year!

Everyone, may I ask for your prayers on behalf of someone I know only tangentially. His name is Fernando, the brother-in-law of my mother's neighbor in Houston, Sandy. (I have known Sandy very well for nearly fifteen years now, especially as I would babysit her dog Angel a lot during the few years I lived in Houston, you may remember.) Apparently he is not doing well after a kidney transplant, so Mama Knight has just informed me, and after losing both her sister and mother to illness over just the last ten years, I imagine Sandy along with Fernando's daughters are in rather anxious spirits right now at the thought of Fernando's eventually being lost as well. Please pray for him to be healed of these complications soon.

The world says ‘God works in mysterious ways’ & thinks it’s in the Bible – this is incorrect, we know how he works. He reveals how he works

You probably wish Thanksgiving were celebrated back in October like it is here in Canada. I have long wondered how you Americans can have one big turkey meal only to have another big turkey meal a month later.

We always did fajitas for Christmas so it was just the Turkey for thanksgiving and then on to better things.

Well, thankfully, now a days my family only does turkey once, but still, it's definitely a lot.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We do Turkey on Thanksgiving, and then usually do something like Tamales or Roast Beef on Christmas.

Side-note. Think I hit my ten year anniversary here. I was thinking it was 2014 when I joined, but then remembered my dad hadn't had his stroke yet, which was Jan of 2014. So I joined fall/winter of 2013. Ten years. Yikes.

Turkey twice a year really isn't that bad, but in most cases, we have ham on either holiday.

I wish I had a fulfilling relationship with a significant other. I feel like I'm in this period of my life where the reasonable and "safe" option is to stay single. Sometimes I can handle being single, sometimes I can't.

It's not easy, but it is easy, sans the drama that comes with relationships. I don't know if being single is right for you, but it's not bad. For myself, I try to redirect my longing toward the primal Source of all beauty and goodness, i.e., our Lord. What I have found is that longing fits that space, but it's still not easy. And see, even if I settled with the beauty of my dreams, I would still seek that transcendent beauty because I know better. Some of us are definitely called to a different way of life. It's not better, just different.
