Its subtle to many.....its a flashing wailing fire engine to me. Same goes for Gladiator. Screaming occult/Satanic sybolism and themes underpinning the movie.

I think you need to elaborate.

In all honesty, I had to work, it was another day. When we find that special person every day should be Valentine’s Day. It takes work, but it’s worth it. You can show appreciation every day and it doesn’t have to cost money.
I had to work too but before I left for work in the morning I left the customary chocolates on the laptop for my wife to find later when she woke up. She left a card for me on the laptop that I saw right away in the early morning hours. I made her a homemade one from the computer. It was another day for me too but I believe that for women Valentine's day can be meaningful.

There are still a couple chocolates left here but they will be gone soon. I am very much looking forward to Easter candy. I want some marshmallow Peeps, and jelly beans. My wife wants a chocolate bunny, says that she is going to bite the ears off first. I want some of those cream filled candy with the hard coating on the outside too. I am pondering though whether or not to eat the black jelly beans as they are not really my favorite but I probably will. Gonna need some Reese's peanut butter filled eggs too. I like candy corn too but that's strictly a Halloween candy. Well, might have to score a bag of those too. Brach's.

You must endeavor to find a faithful true believer. Nothing else will do.
You have a lot going for you I cannot see why you remain single. I suspect the problem is with the recalcitrant men......
Plus 7 points for using "recalcitrant" in a sentence. I like people who know how to use words well to express what they are thinking.

Minus 19 points for being waaaaay too serious for this thread.

On my scorecard I only docked him 15 points for way too serious. The 7 points for using recalcitrant in a sentence seems to be right on target though

Eh... maybe you're right tourist. Perhaps I was a bit too harsh. But my scorecard has already been submitted so the score is officially official and will stand. Nothing I can do now.

I have no problem with that. Nobody had more gravitas than The Lord Jesus.

Thanks very much for the word of encouragement. :)

I have to say though that of course, there are two sides to everything, and I can openly admit to be an equally (and at times, exceedingly) recalcitrant woman. :)

When I first came to CC, I was like many singles--disappointed, bitter, depressed, and anxiously praying to find THE ONE as soon as humanly possible.

But that, of course, was my whole issue. I was thinking in human terms (my own) rather than God's.

Over the years, God has helped me find a lot more peace, and I'm really grateful for CC and a place for us singles to gather. I think most singles will say the hardest part about being single is feeling alone and not having anyone to share their life with or talk to at the end of the day.

I know that cyberspace can never replace real life, but I truly believe it's a medium that we can all put to God's use. It's not the same as having someone there in person, but I know that for my own life, having a regular place to go with all kinds of discussions, interesting topics, and fascinating people sharing about their lives and experiences has made an enormous difference, and I hope it does for others as well. :)

This is why I spend so much time writing threads, and I hope others will as well. By giving each other questions and topics to talk about, it helps us to feel not so alone.

I've been single for about 10 years now and since that time haven't done a thing...until this year. I sent out 3 valentines: 1 to my best friend who knows me inside and out; 1 to my "adopted son" (a former co-worker who viewed me as a mentor and we developed a father/son relationship); and 1 to my own father who has stuck by side through thick and thin.

My "son" was amazed that I thought to send him anything - he's an amazing young man in his own right.

A few days later my father called while I was not available and left a heartfelt message saying that he was not expecting it - especially the thoughts the card conveyed. His voice was cracking as he talked. An incredible Christian man, my dad.

All that being said, to those who watched Titanic: I hope the fact that the boat sank didn't blindside you.

Too bad it didn't star John Wayne. He'd have blew up the iceberg, saved the ship and married the girl... In 90 minutes.

Lol....agreed. Christian men in their right mind are disinclined to marry recalcitrant ladies. Peace in the household requires mutual respect and a generally good natured and forgiving yet supportive synchronicity.

I had a great day even though I'm single. I did take my Momma out to her favorite place for dinner. She is still mourning the passing of my stepfather. They complimented one another nicely for over 20 years. There life together was like a never ending romance novel. She misses him dearly. A love like that is once in a lifetime. I hope I'm fortunate enough to experience it. It's so rare.

I just used the term synchronicity. Am I back in the green now?

Hey Tabin,

That's a great idea for a thread--that topic comes up often here.

When people come up with an idea for a thread, I always encourage them to try writing them as well, because that creates an atmosphere where hopefully, everyone is writing threads and contributing to keep the forum alive. :)

If you have any questions about how the system works (when writing a thread), feel free to post any questions here!
