well i dont go regularily...i'd much rather talk to God, pick up the bible/read or pray on my own time...that can be on the toiliet if i want too. I dont think God cares where or how you pray as long as you do it.
well except the church thing...i think that is a good aspect especially if you have similiar beliefs. While i dont attend church regularily i think its good to raise yourself and your kids with morals and values. Church helps that IMO>
i have not experienced this yet. But i dont think i could be with someone who had different religious beliefs. It would be to different. I would never force my views on someone but there has to be some common ground with your partner at least i would think. I am totally not sure. Hope more people respond.
Garry, many are scared to meet people of the internet. There are a lot of wacko's out there. Look at you...haha just kidding. Seriously i am nervous about meeting some ladies myself.
you have been around that long....one of my dates...failed to disclose her coke habit until a few rum and cokes later, along with the shock to hear her kids were taken away from her, her court cases...oh and guess what she had 5 kids to boot too. so ya..i think we (especially women) should be nervous about meeting people and committment.
On another note, If i am in love and with someone i really care about i have no problem with committment. This does not scare me one bit.
I think it is what we do in this world that is the difference. Volunteering, Giving to the poor, helping the homeless etc etc...those are the true moments that define us.
wow. i cannot explain it coz i am nothing like that. I have contact (daily) with my kids. I just dont understand dads like this...hence the reason for this thread topic.
Regina, i wish you all the best and hope things work out.
I still would not allow my ex to keep my kids away from me.(she wouldnt try anyway). I feel bad for those people that dont see the need for both parents to be involved in the care and upbringing up their kids. This of course assuming both parents are good providers. I realize some are not and for those of you who are single parents with deadbeat dads i can understand this. But if the dad wants to be involved he has every right. No women would ever keep my kids away. Not going to happen no matter what the circumstances are...no way.
i pay attention to the person. i ask the person to hang out to things. I chat with person (or try too). (in person this is much more challenging, especially if your just getting to know them and me being shy...yes i am shy lol this is easier said then done) I'll joke and touch a bit..like bump into them...(school yard stuff...even pat the bum like your just playing..only with the younger girls...lol)
Hey Kenai, ya i agree with you. money and possessions mean little to me. The things you own in my opinion are meaningless.
If i had to describe me, i would say it is a simple life that i am seeking. While not totally there, its an ongoing process that my family/friends see me working on. Simplicity to me is the less i own, the more content i am becoming. Trying not to be focused on money/working all the time etc equals less stress...yadda yadda
Hey cupid, thats is interesting...only black..is this your fav colour? you say you dont know why but you must wear only black for some reason.
i am the complete opposite with clothing. i wear red, orange and all kinds of colours. As well all types of clothing from athletic, to casual to prep. And i love hawaiian shirts. Why..well i change my clothing depending on my mood or wear i am going. If its the beach or a really nice day i pull out the hawaiian shirt...if its golf...a golf shirt...if its a date or a special evening out of some sort...i dress trendy...collared type shirt kinda thing. I think a persons taste in clothing does say something about them..... about weather the person takes pride in their appearance.
It was really nice out yesterday..in the evening i went for a walk along the lake, where i reside..Normally i admire the lake and nature but this walk was different. I took notice of all the development, huge houses, boats, big cars etc. So i got thinking about this and how its defines us.
so how what defines you? or how would you define yourself? Is it your car? Is it your home? Is it your partner? is is your job?
Also, how do you think other people see you?
Not that i really care what others think of me...but i am amazed at how society defines you by things you have.
What does sin mean to you? Will you go to hell if you sin?
My sin beliefs are; I believe it is our own choices to walk away from God. I believe it does not mean we are bad. I believe it does mean we are weak. I believe God is always waiting for us to go back to him.
Mychelle, good points. but i still dont see how this could stop a dad from seeing there kids. It would only happen if the dad didnt want to be around or involved.
Sin...what does it mean to you?
Not going to church is a sin? really?well i dont go regularily...i'd much rather talk to God, pick up the bible/read or pray on my own time...that can be on the toiliet if i want too. I dont think God cares where or how you pray as long as you do it.
