    Is it a sin to live your whole life alone? (socially isolated)

    . I don't think it is a sin to be like you are, but it might be a sin to stay like you are. Each of us is known by God before we are born. He decides what challenges we are to face in this life. God has given you a great deal of challenges because He knows you are worthy to handle them. He...

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . Perhaps you might try focusing on Jesus all day today by filling your heart with "Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs", and then asking Him each moment how He would have you spend that moment in His grace and for His glory. My best example of what grace means in the way we relate to others is...

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . That sounds like an interesting way for people to get their prayers answered. Write them on a piece of paper, put the paper in a plastic bag, attach the bag to a helium filled balloon and let it go outside. Do you think God would catch it? .

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . I understand letting the dog sleep in bed with you, but are those birds HOUSE TRAINED? I doubt it. I wonder what his blanket looks like in the morning. On second thought, maybe I don't want to know. .

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . He is our "daddy" who loves us more than we can imagine and just wants us to love Him back through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus. After His resurrection, Jesus called us "brothers". We are to look upon God the way Jesus did, as our loving heavenly Father. .

    Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

    Why doesn't someone create a GOOD role-playing game like D&D that is edifying for Christ? I would consider it if I knew enough about D&D like games.

    I suggest we open a thread for those who may be looking for a life partner

    . Are you saying that Christian dating sites are not good? I met my wife on a Christian dating site. We have now been married for over 18 years. I know of others who have also had similar success. Like everything, do due diligence. It's not the site's fault if someone lies about themselves. .

    Just a reminder about the new format ...

    The little icon that automatically appears when you save a bookmark is still the old yellow square with a cross, not the new blue globe with the cross over it.

    I'm not saying it was hot yesterday, but ... I did see two hobbits throw something into my backyard.

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . I do. I have since I was 16. One of our common characteristics is our ability to process many stimulus from all around us. Therefore, many are more aware of what is going around them while driving than neurotypicals. Though, I suppose there is also the possibility of sometimes not paying...

    Blue Lady, Maybe you or your dad could make a portable air conditioner? It looks pretty easy to me.

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . I don't think the issue is "allowing" Jesus to love us. He does whether we "allow" Him or not. I think the issue is understanding better how much He loves us. The more we understand how much He loves us the more we want to love Him back. Prayerfully read (or even study) the book of John a few...

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating well? Are you getting a bit of regular exercize? These things make a difference in how well we are thinking and feeling. I have found that constantly, in everything I do, thanking God and praying for others helps prepare my brain/mind to spend...
