Would we swipe right and swipe left, or just decide whether or not we want to neglect mentioning we want to talk to somebody again?
no, i mean an "in person" place where people actually meet people. i never heard of this anywhere so i thought it would be considered.

here's something single Christians might like: a speed dating system for single Christians only. since there is in place already, a trust element amongst Christians, with the proper atmosphere, i think this would work. you can meet someone & enjoy a 5 minute talk & see if compatibility exists. time can be saved by meeting many people in 1 day's time. perhaps, if not compatible, a friendship can develop anyway.
is this stuff christians like? Because this doesn't actually exist. No churches ever do this.

the only matchmaking going in is with interfering parents asking single people how much they earn so they can assess suitable spouses for their eligible children, but if you don't have christian parents there will be no help in this area.

hmm I think Bible Colleges are christian breeding grounds it seems according to all the christian dating/spouse books I have read.

'I met my husband/wife at Bible college' 'we got married and my wife got pregnant and ditched her degree; 'She paid for my education' 'Husband is a pastor so in addition to our own children he has to look after everyone elses in church'

I think thats the way it goes and it works for those who go to Bible College, if you can afford it.

I found out the Bible college moved and now theres a primary school and a retirement village there instead, and the land has been leased for 100 years, kinda like Hong Kong.

I only like four things from that list. Shoes, flush toilets, metal silverware and cars are all rather nice to have.

I must be either a hindu, Muslim or atheist.

I'm a worse Christian than I thought! I only liked two of those, the first and the fourth. And I don't even like the fourth at the customary scheduled times, only at random times when people aren't expecting it.

Should I repent and pray God will help me like all those things?

You can choose from an 18 foot cross with wheels
or a tiny one that fits in your hand
or maybe just one on your grave/headstone

Love one-year devotionals. Wife and I go through one each year. We already have a new one to start the New Year out.

Im trying to find a 1 year devotional that has space you can write in, a ribbon bookmark and the day and month.

Not a womans one but maybe a gardeners one? For the southern hemisphere.

If theres not one I suppose I could write my own. I notice Candace Cameron Bure has about 40 books to her name, everything from dressing up to being classy to juggling motherhood and acting on tv.

Im reading Lazarus Awakening which I vaguely remember maybe reading before? But funny thing is Joanna Weavers other books didnt have the chrstian message plan of salvation in them so some churches refused to buy them
