Do you mean PAVLO’s study?

By the way….Any of the islands in the Carribean you have to have a VISA for.

Alaskan cruises are wonderful and this is the time of year to go. With the majestic scenery and sea life. It’s great to be on the water (On the ship) when the sunsets and sunrises occur. If you get a chance……go for it.
Another great place is……..Cancun, Mexico. Check it out….Great scubadiving down there and coral reefs to blow your mind away.
Good luck and best wishes…..CRAFTDOLLHOUSE

When a man and women have shared in a previous relationship, such as marriage, then if they spend time together places them at high risk of ….close encounters of the sexual kind. So, it sounds as if you are helping her to have her cake and eat it too. Not fair to you though. Perhaps you can find a way to make things easier on you and not so easy for her. Don’t be played for a fool. Find a gal to treat you right. Best Wishes, CRAFTDOLLHOUSE

LOL………See tidying up isn’t so bad. LOL Congratulation you found the camera. Sorry to hear your dad has passed away. God Bless and Best Wishes

Bummer….Maybe you can let her know it’s cluttered before she arrives to your house. What is a tip? lol Is that like an apartment? Probably not alot of room to put things, huh? Well, try to make sure the bathroom is clean for sure. A place to sit and a place to lay down,,,all is good. Don’t worry too much. Cheer up sweetie and try to have a good visit. :)

Did you know that a person from the United States moved to another country and kept theh same exact diet would LOSE WEIGHT! Why? All the chemical and processed foods. Italians eat plenty of pasta and cheese,,,not heavy….all natural. Have you ever heard of Kevin Trudeau’s Weight Loss book? If not, this is a wealth of information well worth the cost. It makes sense and then do some research on the internet of why people are gaining weight in record numbers here in the United States than anywhere in the world. The answer’s you find will amaze you. A particular statment was very interesting to me,,,that skipping breakfast is bad because it triggers our hypothalamus in our brains to reset our metabolism rates. I know so many heavy people that don’t overeat and still gain or don’t lose. It is true that you can lose more weight if you split your 3 meals a day into 6-8 small meals (same amount of food)because it maintains your metabolism and doesn’t mess with your hypothalamus. Plus he states to get rid of all those toxins and chemicals we ingest in our processed diets on a daily basis. We need to eat only organic foods, take enzymes, drink lots of non-chlorinated water, and flush our systems out. Filter the chorinated water all around your house. Don’t eat any fast foods. These are just some basics. You wouldn’t believe how many people have lost weight this way. NOt just that…..have made people’s ailments disappear. It’s a wonderful resource!!! I recall on a program I listened to that they stated our soils are so poisonous today that people from 60 years ago would die from the pollutants we have in it now.

Well, Do you live in the United States???

TAM:
Good luck! It is always nice when things work out, and we have a tendancy to want them to work out. SOMETIMES……we can be so determined that things work out that we put blinders on. You my friend, sound like you have some blinders on. You gave her an open permission slip to talk and see her ex. It’s good you talked, but I think you need to fact facts……she doens’t know what she wants. She may love you but obviously has feeling for her ex still. You are giving her an open door to have an alternative. Why do you think of yourself so undeserving of loyalty and faithfulness? It doesn’t matter if he knew her 7 years and you 2….that is B.S. That ex/supposedly ex/ is an old book. Your the new book. Make sure she stays reading you and not flipping through an old book wondering if she wants to read it again.
Best Wishes

Okay,, well definitely some stuggling going on, huh? We all go through this occasionally on some level. I’m a reformed Catholic and practice Christianity in a non-denominational church, but understand where you are coming from. My family came from a long line of Catholics and it can be of good service, although I found the format a little too ritualistic for me, personally. So,,,,about your help response

Remember some basic facts: GOD always seeks us…he loves us with AGAPE, the
only true UNconditional love that exists. He is ALWAYS faithful! We are the
ones who have difficulty taking the time to spend with him. Like fellowship,
prayer, being in the word, and so on.

Guilt is only a good guilt if it is trying to bring you closer to GOD!
All other Guilt is from the Evil one.

NOW…..Satan is clever, even though he knows he has been defeated/will be, he wants to try to take as many of us as he can. He doesn’t just stay on one level, or use a few ways to get to you. He knows how to invade your thoughts, use your insecurities, and create doubt and provoke you with temptation.

Satan temted Christ in the desert for 40 days….

The book of Thomas, speaks to the fact that sin is not (not fun). Sin can be very, very tantalizing, desirable, feel good, etc…… It’s not as if it makes us ill. IF it did (make us ill)….it wouldn’t be so tempting for us, lol

But, here is the thing. God gave us free will for a reason. SO that WE can choose. We have a choice….to place God in the center of our heart or not.

Many, many people are deceived. SATAN IS THE GREAT DECEIVER!!! Remember that….
even churches are being deceived as a whole. Most people say GOD is a good and loving GOD so he won’t send me to hell. Well,as you may already know…..

GOD is a just GOD. And because he is Good and JUST, he will sit in judgement of us. There is no doubt! It’s only when we truly repent of our sins and accept Jesus Christ as OUR Lord and Savior and change our ways. THAT includes: staying in prayer, in the word, fellowship, and give him our heart. He is suppose to be number one in our heart.

Remember, when the people asked Jesus, which command was the most important? What did he say?
Answer: Matthew 22:37-40 ‘Love the Lord your God:

· with all your heart

· and with all your *soul

· and with all your mind.’

This is the first and most important command. And the second command is like it:

‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself.’

So, we need to take this seriously. We need to guard what we nurture our souls with. It may not be that band you listened to, or definitely not Metallica. Even some classical music was written for the devil,,,we shouldn’t be listening to that even. We need to protect our hearts and our minds and our soul. WE HAVE ONLY ONE.

SO,,,nurture rightousness and goodness into your heart/soul.

There is a battle of imminent proportions going on globally. Evil versus Good. Muslim versus Christian…..stemmed from Father Abraham’s sons….Isaac and Ishmael. This is why GOD said NO to having Ishmael as the sacraficial son. He was the oldest and Abraham loved Ishmael and wanted him to be the successor of his lands. But GOD said NO,,,send him away with his mother. This is the origin of Muslims. Isaac is the true sacraficial son. Muslims believe Ishmael is. AND so the division began many many years ago.

SO, time is near. The temple is now being built,,,parts of it to be assembled together. It’s when the temple is done,,,that the end is very, very near. WHen the anti-christ sits upon GOD’s throne…..that is what they call the Abomination of DEsolation……..that he will poor out his wrath. Just as the bible states.
Judgement will come upon all of us. The bible says that there will be many that cry out to GOD and say….Father, father, did we not do this and this all in your name? And he will reply and say……..GO away, for I do not know you. IT says that there will be many falling down and beating their chests and crying out.
I don’t want to be one of them,,,destined for hell. You don’t either……..

Reconnect with the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and God. Deny your flesh,,,old ways being easier or more carefree,,,,and invite and welcome the spirit into your heart. Then feed your heart with rightousness.

Miki,
Life is such a pain in the ***, sometimes…. Hang in there. Yeah, your rant did sound like you were being a little spoiled, but I didn’t fully understand your circumstances. I apologize if my response hurt you in any way.
Wouldn’t it be great if WE COULD CHOOSE OUR FAMILIES??? Boy, that would be a dream come true for alot of us:)
BUT……. It’s not that easy as you well know. The hurt family can cause us can be so overwhelming and self-destroying. You are worth living and loving. Last week you were in my thoughts, and God laid it on my heart to tell you YOU ARE WORTHY of live and LOVE. I’m not sure why exactly those words………..and not sure if you need to hear them. But truly this is the message I got. SO, I hope that actually means something for you, if not now, perhaps later.
I’m reading a book called CRAZYMAKERS and it is a really great resource for understanding the dysfuntions of some families. It may be helpful too. God bless and so glad to hear you are trying to move. THat sounds like a wonderful choice.
God’s speed and rest. Best wishes,,,

WHAT IS LOVE? That is a question that has been posed throughout the generations. Attempts at the definition have been made by philosophers, poets, playwrites, and shakespearians for centuries. It depends on what love means to us individually.
However: A true definition is ::: God is Love. Or better termed AGAPE,,,the only unconditional love that truly exists. This is different than human love.
Human love: A conditional love that meets our individualistic needs (consciously or unconsciously) through psychological, physical, emotional, and intimate levels of connections. It is a choice to choose another’s desires and needs before your own.
To maintain a long lasting love, as such in marriage, it takes maintenance a small amount of effort. Not taken for granted or advantage of, but cherished and appreciated. True love is experienced when it is fully shared by both parties.
The bible has some verses that really hit home to help us understand the qualities of love: Love is patient.

Love is kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast.
It is not proud.
It is not rude.
It is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrong doing.
It does not delight in evil,
but rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, trusts,
hopes, perseveres.

This is soooo true………Please read these quotes……..they are beautiful

Let us not love with words or tongue
but with actions and in truth.

Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love never ends.

“When one finds a worthy wife,
her value is far beyond pearls.
Her husband entrusting his heart to her,
has an unfailing prize.”

Love comes from a pure heart
and a good conscience
and a sincere faith

BUT NOW ABIDETH FATH, HOPE, LOVE…THESE THREE: AND THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE.

Thanks Jheezy……lol

Hey,
I think you know the answer to your questions, it is selfish and it would be wrong for you to check yourself out. I totally agree with Theresape in that you need to get help. Depression and feelings of wanting to hurt others or/and yourself are dangerous to you and others. We all get overwhelmed at times and some more down than others,,,but sometimes a professional is needed to talk to!!! To help us sort out things and find a way to unravel the web that has entraped us. It’s important for us to take responsiblity for ourselves and not blame others for our misfortune. And I say this in all kindness…don’t have any more kids. Especially if you find it difficult to take care of the ones you do have,,,that’s not really fair to your children. Crying out to God for help is great too. But you can’t judge God or Christianity by the people…..we are imperfect. God is perfect! Plus we don’t have the right to judge God. If you choose to reach out,,,do it right. Search for you, go to church, read your bible, and pray. However, I think that even if you choose to do this,,,,you still need professional help at the same time. Do something wild and crazy::::take care of yourself and see a professional and seek out God.
Best Wishes and Prayers…
