Can’t is too strong. There are people I prefer not to be around because their character or behavior is unsettling and relating with one another isn’t profitable. There are connections where it’s evident the Lord is at work and desires my presence and others He’ll prick me to avoid. As a rule...

I am glad you’ve found a good community that meets your needs. :-) Long term care policies have changed a great deal. My uncle had one that provided private round the clock care in his home. He had to cover the first three months and then the insurance kicked in. My aunt told me policies like...

There’s a plethora of single Christian men in their 20s, 30s, 40s and above with no prospects. Many have gone dateless for years and that suggests a decision to forgo companionship or the absence of viable opportunities. Numerous articles confirm that women aren’t opting out of relationships...

That’s too much contortion for my tastes with quirky semantics for good measure. I wouldn’t allow a man to do that or go along with it either. Some people prefer to make friends to minimize rejection. They think getting acquainted will increase their chances for acceptance. Others are scared of...

I use social media for business purposes. I’m intentional about what I reveal on mediums and platforms I don’t own. There are numerous examples of information being used against the person down the road. I depend on the Lord’s guidance in this area. As for the questions... Would you let...

The primary reasons people marry differs for each. Oftentimes the want or need that screams the loudest is the one we sate. Thus, the person who craves financial security will place a greater primacy on a high wage earner than one who desires togetherness. It doesn’t mean the other isn’t...

It is unrealistic to expect people who disrespect their resources to revere yours. Habits are hard to change and promises don’t set aside the reality the behavior may continue throughout the union. Money is the number one reason people part ways. It’s best to form alliances with a partner whose...

As with most things, makeup and clothing can be a source of pleasure, self-expression, meaningless, or a snare. You need to consider the condition of their mind and heart on the subject and the lone one who can is the Lord. He sees through our blinders. I’m not a fan of being anyone’s quasi...

I’m going to answer this from a different angle. Seventeen years ago I encountered someone whose heart and capacity to love was otherworldly. It was the sort you see in movies or read in poems. And as our acquaintance grew and we began to connect on other planes. The reality of what we’d found...

I think the bigger issue is the reality we each have things we can set aside and others that are too grave to forget or live with. While I don’t have a problem with someone who had intercourse with others. It would be another matter if they frequented brothels or engaged in same sex behavior...

I am very conversant with the term and their practice of co-opting and adapting other traditions to suit Western audiences and tastes. And the majority aren’t practicing Kundalini in its true form. You need to be adept and it’s usually the domain of those with an ability to traverse the spirit...

I have never used a dating site. I never felt the limited information provided the necessary information I sought in a prospect. I have engaged with a few on a forum I frequented in the past. We were in the same circles and others had lived to tell after meeting them. While I don’t do so...

Check out the XXX Church. That’s their specialty. I contemplated being an accountability partner in the past.

I am glad you’ve found your place. :-) I was raised Roman Catholic and spent a lot of time at the rectory. My family was affiliated with the the parish for decades. When I dropped by we’d have a bite to eat and rich discussions. They gave me my first bible which I read faithfully by flashlight...

I know the feeling and I felt the same myself. It was always a possibility but not something I actively pursued. But I finally met my match and knew I’d never be the same. We decided not to move forward in spite of the attraction. My close friend insisted we weren’t done. I disagreed of course...

Kundalini isn’t new age. It hails from Hinduism and is the highest form of yoga practice along with Tantra. It was around long before the term was coined.

Most people who prepare meals at home don’t have culinary training or experience working in a high end wine store. I have both and I’m adept at baking and artistry breadmaking too. I was an early member of CHOW, LTH, and a forum for industry professionals. I contemplated a career in catering but...

In my opinion, your failure to grasp the text has contributed to your confusion. While you know the words it appears you’re unclear regarding the reasons for their utterance. Darcy and Bingley attended a country ball. Their arrival in town was discussed by everyone and many are making designs...

I came to this forum for peaceful discourse with others in a similar season. I primarily post on the Singles and Family board. I’ve been on venues beset with arguments and verbal wrangling over politics and religious topics. I’ve had my fill of each and prefer to consume more edifying content. I...

I have daily time alone which more than suffices for my psyche. Although I’m an extrovert, I value quiet and the opportunity for replenishment and stillness. I like to give myself daily doses of nothingness. Where being is all I want.
