It sounds like you have more pressing matters to address. I wouldn’t wish a cantankerous housemate on anyone. A better environment is needed. Like you, I’ve been on the Internet for a long time. Access was limited in the early days and I have good memories of iRC chats, mailing lists, and...

I volunteered for three years in my grammar school’s after school program. I’m accustomed to groups that size.

If you’re expecting a group it’s best to meet them near the entrance when they arrive. Give them a quick reminder of your policy on cell phones, food, and the need to keep their voices down. Remind them other patrons are working too. Have a staff member with you or more if you’ve pulled them...

I am immensely happy and love my life. God has healed my body and given me a purpose that feeds my spirit and provides a comfortable lifestyle. He’s given me gifts and talents which fill my days and loving friends and family who walk beside. When I wake and greet the day my heart is full and...

We must consider the template of our design in light of our encounters in the matrix. Those that honor our makeup will move us closer to its display than experiences which contradict or refute its truths. We can’t set aside the nuances of personality and weaknesses which leave us subject to...

If you believe their way of life is good, why didn’t you join them? Many of the principles of simple living can be implemented anywhere if you have the drive and ability to harness yourself. I know people who traded city life for homesteading. Others who left the rat race for self-employment...

The Parable of Talents is a good example of God’s dispense and expectations. We’re all guilty of forgetting the challenges others face in areas of excellence or activities we do with ease. We assume they can do the same and that’s rarely the case. I’m aware of the social conditions both face...

Commander. :-) I’ve found Myers-Briggs is clearest when viewed in correlation to the Enneagram. It unpacks the nuances the test addresses. Tritype quizzes are the most insightful.

I don’t understand your comment. Are you offended that singles are discussing relational concerns? Do you believe their lone discourse should relate to God? Have you demonstrated the same in your comments? Is faith the only subject you undertake? And if it is. How does that correlate to the...

I was reared in an environment where biblical examples of masculinity and femininity were the norm. Not only with my parents but extended family too. Both were held in high esteem. We were expected to be ladies and gentlemen. Honorifics were a mainstay. I can recall when men would hasten their...

The analogy is in reference to the dating pool. Not literal fish. :-)

Thank you for the compliment. :-) My disposition has its challenges. It served me well in secular engagements. But Christian dating practices (in their current guise) are too familiar and intimate to accord the drawing I referenced. The notion of friends first obliterates his ability of winning...

What does “chunky” mean in his vernacular? :)

Has God used me to minister to the lost and those who’ve strayed from Him? Absolutely. Have I been given the green light to become emotionally attached or enter a relationship with atheists, agnostics, or those of other faiths? Never. Has the opportunity ever presented itself? Yes. Did I...

Children learn what they live. Not what they’re told. Your life is their witness. Not the pastor or members of the church. They’re watching you and observing if your words and actions will align. Parents have an uncanny habit of addressing other’s mistakes while camouflaging their own. Coming...

Children had greater responsibilities in biblical times than they do today. They were expected to assist with farm work, household chores, and caretaking for younger siblings. Most youths aren’t facing the same. Paul addresses the conundrum succinctly in 1 Corinthians 13. He acknowledges the...

A few years ago I worked on the launch team for The Happy Wives Club. The book chronicles one woman’s search to find happily married women like herself. I was blessed by their input and suggestions and was one of the few unmarried persons on the team. My experience mentoring women in relational...

As a rule, people are intimately acquainted with challenges through firsthand experiences or difficulties they’ve endured supporting loved ones. It’s my consensus that every ail has a holy solution and mental illness is no different. God equips believers with gifts in mercy, counseling and helps...

Outside of business reasons, I don’t use social media. I made a conscious decision several years ago to keep my content professional and maintain that stance. I don’t have family connections or post information that isn’t available elsewhere. My friendships hail from a limited pool of...

The men I’ve known and dated acknowledge an ability to be attracted to other women. But none admitted loving two or more simultaneously. They aren’t the sort to give their hearts haphazardly.
