We're far more likely to give someone a pass when we don't take things personally, because our identity is in Christ. You choose not to retaliate in kind when wronged or insulted? Such moments are the truth of who you ought to be. If we lead with our emotions, antagonism will pull the pin on...

I would have no time for a wife if I were preoccupied with analysing why I wasn't already married. If I gave much thought to the appearing of the woman who I would take to be my wife, or the life I might lead with her, I would expect to feel an emptiness of sorts. My imagination of what was not...

Marvelous, isn't it? We can spend years searching high and low for the truth, unwittingly looking in all the wrong places. Testing all manner of myths and legends. Sifting untruths; left stranded, and blinded by those very things we never truly believed in. I could never count myself worthy...

Stay away from those gym bros when the famines crop up. Consumed by fear of losing their gains, they'll eat all your survival food in an ill-timed bulking phase. I work with a guy (not the dirty dishes dude) who tracks his macronutrient intake by the gram. His fixation on marcos; protein...

Unsmiley one of me. If you recognise me and I owe you money, I just look like the person who owes you money... :sneaky:

9 different breakups characterised by the same trust issues would've been enough for me to pull the plug on any potential date. Nothing worse than entering a relationship with a repeating sentence which already murdered its full stop. I would be dubious about anyone who kept a compendium of...

Most of us have been there at some juncture in life. An object of our affection with so many red flags, they could've dyed their hair red for an omen, and we'd still have missed the handwriting on the wall. The affairs of the heart can make us susceptible to misguided choices. But your decision...

Smash and pass? Nothing more off putting than promiscuous women. They're like my local police station. Criminals coming and going all night long, with extra parking in the rear... High notch count? No thanks! And praise the Lord, age old decency will live on long after all this in vogue...

I am sorry, because you loved her. But the teeth to fit your wounds, would've been hers. The Lord of Glory is protecting you. Some of the most painful branches He's selectively cut away in my own life have been female. Humanists and pagans, who vied for my allegiance and bargained on emotional...

I kinda miss my old music collection every once in a while. I'm just old enough to have seen the days when music was still reproduced and sold through physical media. I have fond memories from the independent record stores that used to be dotted across the UK. Leafing through album covers and...

I appreciate that many of you have seen more iterations of his persona than you can shake a stick at. I'll be more guarded in future.

His disappointment in me is inconsequential. All I know is, I would be disappointed in myself, if I were him. I can only read between the lines, but he seems butthurt over some people knocking back his approach and taking their nibbles from someone else's table. The message of Christ is one...

I never implied that you were a part of their journey, but it should be self-evident that nobody wants to keep going over old ground.

I can't tell you what to do, but when you're at an impasse, the only thing left to do is move on. The women you had correspondence with have moved on in their faith without you. Respect their wishes and don't look back.
