True Love
True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.

Say the name Jesus
Say the name, “Jesus” often, as you would say a friend’s name. Use the name, “Jesus” to drive away fear, to rescue from temptation, to banish loneliness and to conquer your faults.
When you tenderly say the name, “Jesus”, God Himself hears and quickly attends to you.
Set aside time each day to talk to God as though you had an appointment with Him. Keep that appointment no matter how you feel.
At first your prayer time may be only a few minutes, but aim for 20 minutes a day. Have Quiet Time at the same time each day. Then you are less likely to miss a day. With determination, it becomes a good habit.
If you miss a day, don’t be discouraged. Start again the very next day. Soon you will experience:
A sense of peace, an inner calm.
A power over things that pull you down.
A certainty that your past failures have been forgiven.
A joy in your heart that is independent of circumstances.
A new closeness to Jesus Christ.
In Quiet Time, Jesus helps us to make sense of our lives.

King of the Jungle?
A lion woke up one morning feeling really rowdy and mean. He went out and cornered a small monkey and roared, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The trembling monkey says, "You are, mighty lion!
Later, the lion confronts an ox and fiercely bellows, "Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The terrified ox stammers, "Oh great lion, you are the mightiest animal in the jungle!"
On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the lion with his trunk, slams him against a tree half a dozen times leaving the lion feeling like it'd been run over by a safari wagon. The elephant then stomps on the lion till it looks like a corn tortilla and ambles away.
The lion lets out a moan of pain, lifts his head weakly and hollers after the elephant, "Just because you don't know the answer, you don't have to get so upset about it!"

Get more zzzsleep
Getting six to eight hours of sleep per night can put you in a positive mood and make you feel refreshed in the morning. A good night's sleep can also help you concentrate better throughout the day.
Dating Seems Like Gambling!
I'm recently getting over falling in love with a friend who didn't feel the same. It's strange because though nothing ever happened between us (well, nothing serious anyway) I still feel just as broken hearted. I guess it was just my feeling of loss over what I believed "could have been".
I do however completely understand because I then went on a date with a girl I met online and chatted with for hours. Seemed like we already knew each other and had so much in common. Then when I met her in person there was just no "spark" there for me. Unfortunately, there simply has to be a physical attraction. I felt terrible because I think she was attracted to me and soon after broke all contact and removed her profile. I hate that I may have hurt her feelings but I guess there's nothing I can do about it.
But.. that brings me to my point. It just seems to me that finding someone that you're attracted to and compatible with that feels the same about you is like trying to win the lottery. Yet here I am... trying again. I guess I'm looking for the one that makes me feel like a "winner". You can't win if you don't play I guess. :)

What s love ?
As soon as someone loves something, and something for the links,
a thought, object or human being,
It provides something of themselves,
and is prepared to give and even more lost,
without measures and care,
with the same instinctive and violence,
with which people throw on the acquisition and snatch.
And so far the only known way
how one man can give to other people,
or things about themselves,
what does not have
and then when you must.
So what is the name of love
creates an endless and understand accounting
mutual giving and receiving,
with astronomy in the calculation which is unclear,
but which is the ultimate collection of short, clear and understandable, is not it?

Trying something new, why not?

Truth Serum.
I love alcohol! No...not for me...but, in others!
I love that something verbally slipped (under the influence) and he said "I do want kids" - regardless of what he knew I was looking for in a long term partner. Alas, the truth comes out...again, just add Jesus juice.
So whats the big deal anyway? Why can't men just say what is truth? Why can't they answer the questions honestly without saying I'm not sure or I dont know? This is a reoccuring problem of saying one thing at first and then something thereafter.
I asked Reed if he "ever" wanted kids in his life or ever wanted to have them and he originally said, "If God says he doesn't want me to have kids I'm okay with that. It's in HIS hands. It's not a need for me to have kids." That unclear response cost me time and effort...well, time at least. I usually don't apply effort unless I know for sure. So see! I didn't waste effort in trying to do anything extra for him.
If I have a sense that something is there...then you get effort. Now that I know he wants kids - I don't want to even talk to him sweetly anymore. I can be his friend and do stuff...but, no more smooching! I'm done. Reed wanted kids and just didn't tell me. Now he's calling me and texting me and wondering why I don't respond. Soon I'll have to tell him I don't want to see him anymore because I don't want to stand in his way of having them.
This sucks!
But, moving on now....
Kendall seems nice. He better answer the questions I ask correctly or else!

A bit over excited...and pet names already?
It's just a thought - maybe it's something that bothers me a bit more than others? But, when a man contacts me and wants to chat and know me - I look at it as an opportunity to do just that, chat and find if there is compatibility between us. I'm not looking to have my thoughts jump ahead and wonder if he could be the one. One step at a time folks!
The excitement in email #2, should be relaxed and toned down. In other words..."Oh hey, hi! How are you doing? I'm so glad you responded baby..." should not be something that is disclosed - as it seems desperate and clingy. My responding to your intial email makes it seem like someone actually gave you the time of day in responding to who knows how many mass emails you sent out to different women. It's a numbers game right?
Well - when I receive the excited response along with calling me baby and/or honey...I get a little weary in responding the second time. It's not to be picky...but is. Why on earth would anyone do that? You don't know me enough to call me pet names!
I'm a honest and courteous person and I respond to everyone. Whether they like my response or not. Attraction is key and if I'm not attracted I say so. If I feel that our backgrounds wouldn't mesh well...I say so. I don't run or hide and delete emails people send because I'm a low individual with "people are beneath me" standards. I look at everything realistically and logically and base my decision on content and what words you chose to utilize in your profiles.
I'm not better than you - and you're not better than me. We should be considered equals in a sense.
But, the pet names? And, getting all excited? Is a major no-no. Don't assume all women like it. Please don't assume I like it, because I don't. That's why I'm blogging it...to give you a clue.
