Some people believe that living alone is unhealthy. But ‘living alone’ and ‘being lonely’ are two different things, and the former state is very healthy. Living alone can help to bring about inner peace and contentment, whilst the latter can cause great unease and even depression.

Being at peace with God involves an intimacy that I believe can only come in the midst of physical and mental quiet. It has been my personal experience that living alone facilitates a greater connection with God, a clearer vision of His Greatness, and a better understanding of the extent of His Love towards me. Being alone in the still quite moments of one’s day, can help one to better develop one’s spiritual bond with God, and eventually, with others.

When I am not alone, I have to struggle to control my thoughts because of the many distractions that either vie for my attention or the attention of the others who may be occupying the space with me. When I am not alone, I have to remember the needs of others, temper my moods, exercise tolerance and patience, avoid causing offense, listen to sounds that may be disturbing my physical and mental peace and be a ‘good Christian’. When I am not alone, it can be difficult to maintain a gentle and quite spirit.

All of that distracts me from just being at Peace with myself, my space and God.

If you live alone, but don't appreciate how blessed you are, so think again. If you do, then continue to enjoy.

2012-13 was the first time that I ever tried Online Dating. That wasn't successful, and I tried again in 2018. Two of the sites that I had joined were "Badoo" and "Mingle", and one of them was the source of my greatest dating disaster.

A man that I chatted with online for a few weeks worked 'off-shore', was single and 50, but still living with his mother (who didn't seem to trust him much). We first met at a restaurant, and although something about him appeared a bit 'off' to me, I ignored it. We went to the beach, and, in his already inebriated state, he made sure to stop along the way to visit his 'friends/family members' before getting there. I helped him find an apartment, which, I found out he never inhabited (weeks later). I invited him to church and, again, he showed up inebriated. We were to attend an end-of-year concert in his area, but he sounded so 'out of it' on the phone, I didn't go.

When I finally admitted to myself that dating him was 'un-productive' (about 6 months later than I should have), I told him so, he complained vociferously and I left the scene immediately. Of course, he was inebriated again. The next day, he was even more so, as he swayed and drifted from the fast-food restaurant that he was at, on his way to my parked car, mumbling to himself and fishing in his pockets for the $ that he owed me.

What a disaster that was!!!! And that was a shortened version.




Any scary stories to share?...Anyone...

Why is it often so hard to give/get?

We all make mistakes, ignorantly and sometimes wilfully, but when we’ve realized our error(s) it’s time to apologize, make amends and ask for forgiveness. But this is, most times, easier said than done. On the one hand, we may feel too ashamed to even approach the person/s that we’ve wronged, and on the other hand, we’ve may blame them for part of what went wrong. So, shouldn’t they apologise too? Shouldn’t they ask for forgiveness too?

For Bible believers, and those who are spiritual, Ephesians 4:32 says,
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
And Matthew 6:15 says,
“But if you do not forgive others their sins, your (Heavenly) Father will not forgive your sins.”

The thing is, many of us know this but still struggle. The hurt that we caused, or that we feel, always seems too hard to let go of. Not to mention other things that get in the way such as pride and loss. Still, doesn’t God know that that’s what will bring us/them healing? Isn’t that why He placed those guiding words where we could find them? Haven’t our parents and friends encouraged us (at least once) to “forgive”?
Years ago, after my marriage fell apart, and was then followed by much acrimony (on both sides), I learnt that the main purpose of “forgiveness” was for my own emotional and spiritual healing and well-being. This revelation came only after obeying God’s guiding words (see also Matt 5:44). The letting go of anger, resentment, disappointment, pride, and lost love was first cathartic, then therapeutic.
We should want to give/receive forgiveness if we are to reap its benefits. We should forgive as honestly and as sincerely as we can, remembering that that’s how we would want to be forgiven. We should try not to repeat the hurts that we caused, and avoid persons and situations that may have caused our past hurts.
Perhaps the current world unrest could have been avoided if less pride and more “forgiveness” was the order of the day…..who knows?

where I could search for any Americans killed or injured whilst assisting & helping in Ukraine?

I like food. When I eat a meal, I savour what I'm eating, yet I don't always feel like eating food, as I get bored with 'everyday' type dishes (e.g. rice, beans & chicken, and fast food menus). Some people wolf down/guzzle their food, not even 'tasting' it; as though the taste buds that God blessed them with, are just there for decorative purposes.

What's strange about it, is that we all have basically the same body mechanisms, but don't all make the same use of them. Our taste buds is only one example, but our brain is another. Science once stated that many of us under-utilize our brain (by 90%), but that information has been deemed incorrect. Still, how and what we use our brain for is the real point. Some use their brain to think of positive things, whilst others use theirs for negative things.

Based upon the vast number of evils that are prevalent in our world today, I could understand why so many seem to not take time to savour life, and instead under-utilize or overlook the good that's in the world. But filling our minds and or the mind of others with negative thoughts, instead of positive ones, only exacerbates that 'prevalence'.

It's not the same as 'burying one's head in the sand' by avoiding the negativity. No, it's just a case of avoiding the negativity so that we don't overwhelm our minds. When that happens, it causes depression and some persons can become mentally unstable, and or suicidal. We are the same, but deal with things differently.

Something to remember...

Maybe you're not hearing what I'm hearing about the hearing... for those few, it doesn't matter how much evidence is presented to you now... does it?

The October 13th 2022 hearing brought about new facts about the January 6th insurrection. Pleading the 5th came from several Trump allies who refuse to testify and now the focus is on Trump.

Will women be drafted you think this time round?

If we (Malta) end up somehow involved (as that has so far always been the case), I would want to see them Maltese Nachthexen in action - with acrylic nails and 4 inch heel, strutting around while missiles explode all around them. smh. smh.

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

A rather famous quote by Gonzo author and founder H. S. Thompson taken to imply that in times of change and upheaval, every weirdo can make an often very good living from his or her personal ideas and views, no matter how inaccurate and stupid they are.

I suppose that's what Alex Jones, the far-right and alt-right, crazy conspiracy theorist host of the 'The Alex Jones Show' and founder of the Infowars website must have thought when he claimed that the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting was orchestrated by the government to eventually introduce gun control.

Oh well, at least a judge apparently disagrees. Alex Jones has just been ordered to pay USD965m in damages to the Sandy Hook victims' families.

What do you think of this verdict? Should conspiracy theorists be held to account for their claims and the ensuing consequences of those claims?

As for myself, I cannae deny that I'm loving it to bits!
