Hi and welcome. I too am old enough to remember the 1960's and even the 1950's. I think things are much worse now and that the Lord's return is imminent, although nobody knows the time or day except the Father.......Bob

Dear Edith, it seems like that missionary should find a different kind of work as he apparently doesn't have the love of Christ in him for being angry with his son for loving a Cameroonian. Maybe I'm judging and if so I shouldn't. But I just can't understand people who give the slightest...

Edith, I agree and will add that for me it's inward character and outward appearance. Certain smiles seem to project empathy and kindness and above all love for one another. It's as if I can see right through their smile into their soul and feel the love.

Thank you Carrie

Rob is also used a lot in the U.S. but not quite as much as Bob. For me either is fine. And thank you so much for your comment Edith. You're a sweet soul :-)

Edith, Bob is short form or nickname for Robert. And I agree with what you say about Eve being a partner for Adam. I've never considered either the husband or wife subservient to the other. They are 100% equal. I think a married couple should do whatever is necessary for each other. For...

That may not have been posted in the right place. if so sorry but I'm still trying to learn this place.

I have what might be a dumb question. Since I'm new here and don't know the gender of most of ya'll, I'm wondering if any of you prefer one gender over the other for friendship. I'm obviously male by my name and I have only two very good male friends, one from the military and one from school...

Edith, it's not helpmeet, it's helpmate which is the biblical term for helper. It just refers to the person who will help the other person in any and all of life's issues. But thank you so much for your prayer my sister.

Ok, I'm searching but it's more passive than active since I don't go out much. I tried one of those dating sites recommended by an old military friend from years ago. I think he was one of the few who actually found who he was looking for but for the most part, I think those dating sites are a...

Edith, actually I didn't say that quote was from my preacher. I said I read it somewhere, don't even remember where. And I don't agree with whoever he was either. But I imagine he was joking and we don't know what kind of audience he was speaking to. If it was a joke it's probably not a very...

Edith, that's pretty much what I was thinking within reason of course. Forgot where I read it but a preacher said women are like parking spots, all the good ones are taken and the rest are handicapped :-). Not sure about the handicapped part but so far, in my case, all the good ones are taken.

So if I understand this correctly, being male, I should attempt to find a woman no younger than 46 since I'm 78 right? Actually, my main requirement is that a woman be a God fearing Christian.

I'm older than dirt, at least I feel like it most days :-)

Oops meant thank you.
