God will shake up things for certain. But it’s challenging if you develop an attraction to someone tied to another. And the likelihood of them doing the same is stronger when your behavior opposes their norm. This is especially true in marital or relational challenges. The outsider is seen...

Everyone sins. Including those who know God. But knowing Him doesn’t give us a monopoly on love, kindness or grace. Sometimes knowledge creates an excited air within the person. They’re eager to share with others and swift to help. They want everyone to know, try, or experience the thing...

Oftentimes the truth isn’t the issue. Its communicating it in love that is the problem. I’ve been on the receiving end of Christian exuberance. If it weren’t for the love I encountered in a Jewish synagogue, I’d be an atheist today. That was the difference. I’m glad your father heeded the...

The tree church sounds nice and unique. I’ve never seen a beach wedding here but it may not be allowed. I know they’re common at resorts and some couples opt for destination weddings which include a honeymoon package. Farms are nice as well. I like the ambiance. Simplicity is understandable if...

Yes, they were gay. As my experience illustrates, love covers a multitude of sins. My friends weren’t Christians and I’d just found my way back to God. Nevertheless, every one of them stood with me. Much like I’d supported them. And I wasn’t Christian at the time either. I was reared with a...

Many years ago I encountered someone in a chatroom. We were thick as thieves and over time the same was true was of her partner. She was bipolar and when she was on the brink of losing everything I intervened. Striking a bargain with her partner and asking for one year. I loved and comforted...

I love classical music and I have a penchant for the harp at bedtime. It soothes like a gentle lullaby.

I don’t care for tattoos for myself. None of the women in my family have them. My nephews got one to honor their father when he died. But otherwise, it isn’t a practice that was prevalent in my life. For me, it isn’t a positive representation of my femininity or the loveliness I embody. And I...

I want something private and intimate. It depends where the event is being held but the venues I’m referencing are found in the areas I had in mind. I don’t want to deal with traffic either and that’s a concern when you’re centrally located in a large city. And I’m not the only one getting...

We’ve all encountered talkers of every stripe and others whose actions and investment demonstrate their commitment and seriousness. And in this medium, you have no ability to substantiate their claims without time and discernment. Anyone can say they’re a believer. Character becomes the litmus...

That’s a difficult situation. Especially when interest goes both ways. I was in a similar situation with who desired to spend their life with me. My return to God altered everything. He didn’t give up on me. Not in my time away or after my return. It’s a quagmire. But humbling nonetheless. He...

I am most concerned with the opinions of those I’m invested in who are equally committed to my betterment. I don’t worry about those outside that circle. I’ll put my best foot forward. But they don’t know my bones. And it’s unprofitable to tie myself in knots over their opinions. Every one has...

I haven’t formed an opinion of anyone. I’m glimpsing a sliver of your countenance in sound bytes here and there. I am more inclined to observe how the person conducts themselves in their interactions. Courtesy and kindness are attributes I value in my discourse. Having a laundry list of...

In my opinion, it’s a privilege to meet my companion’s needs. Developing a pleasing attitude and service-driven mindset demonstrates my willingness to address his concerns with a welcoming spirit. His desire is not a duty, hardship, or begrudging task. It’s a physical confirmation of his delight...

I think it’s important to seek the Lord’s input in our connections. Whether they're relational or platonic. Three years ago I made a list of the qualities I desired in companions and business associates. I was very intentional. I prayed through the list every week and devoted a portion of my...

For me, respect is foremost. It’s the line in the sand that inspires effort, patience and self-restraint. It is a necessary component in the development of oneness through the consciousness of ‘we’ and ‘us.’

I have a seasonal whole foods diet. It isn’t based on consumption of certain foods. I was influenced by Weston Price’s research on indigenous diets and the health challenges that followed when it changed. It was his consensus our bodies are predisposed to favor the foods frequently eaten in our...

You are drawing a lot of conclusions and getting carried away with your assumptions based on limited details from someone you’ve never met. I elected to share some of the qualities that I value. I’m not required to meet your expectations or anyone else’s in my response. And I won’t.
