Bring me a god who is reliable, trustworthy, unconditionally loving, fair, available when needed and can manifest himself in a clear way so we need not doubt his existence. Then and only then will I believe again.
But that describes my God! I am so sorry you have not found that loving, available and healing God within your life.
God does not live our life for us. But many people that have been in terrifying experiences (consider 9/11) knew they were held as the worst happened. From just that one incident there is so much we can see of God's hand in human affairs!
I have a loving entity to turn to when the chips are down! I give this to all who choose life! God bless the rest!
You are actually in love with being in love. You are using all your mental, emotional, physical energies to form a spirit connection that may or may not exist. After all, you are still just corresponding.
Before the internet there was snail mail. It was fun to have a pen pal and learn about their life as you shared yours. Fall in love? NO! Merely have a diversion from what is right in front of you.
One of the biggest factors for diabetes is hereditary. To lump it with poor eating habits just doesn't fly. By the way there are also very thin diabetics (not many, but a few) who certainly wouldn't qualify on fast food cause.
The problem in the older ages is that there are about 10 woman for every man by that time. The pickings are pretty slim. So it has to be quite an attraction for any attention at all.
Married men want a fling. Single men don't know what they want, except they have been in relationships and now feel free. And add to that - in that age group there are 10 woman for every single man!
Canada and its approach to most world problems is certainly not in line with the US. While we do not go around shouting patriotism we buy our poppies in November and remember the fallen for our country.
I travel across our border frequently, have many friends south of it, and can honestly say I see our differences but respect our sames.
With a thread like this, you have set the tone for disliking our individual bodies (both men and woman). You have nothing to suggest love yourself (as is) but everything to discourage it.
We have developed into an 'instant' society. Everything from instant mashed potatoes to instant relationships are abounding.
Ever you ever looked into the eyes of an old couple that has been together for many years? They are truly happy - not settled, not there because someone else tells them to be - but truly happy with each other. Why?
They learned through all the lessons of life that having a loving, caring, concerned partner is worth its weight in gold.
All those seeking instant gratification from all their instant things, do not appear to be arriving at that wonderful stage of longevity and love lasting and growing.
My first husband lived with 'shoulds' - you should have a wife, 2.5 children, a car and boat on the driveway and all the money to spend to keep you happy. Never once did he ever consider that having wife and family meant developing relationships. So I have seen first hand what you are all arguing to experience. It just doesn't work! Get used to it - human beings are social animals and truly want the commitment of a loving relationship.
Just another thought......there was a time when an antique piece of jewellery was passed through a family. And it was given as an engagement ring to many generations. It had commercial as well as emotional value.
Just maybe we don't have throw God out with the religions that try to express the existence of God. A lot of people think there is no doubt of the existence of God. But they can have a hard time finding where to express this sentiment in comfort of their own ideas.
Seeking out a religion that allows free expression is the secret. God is not in existence ONLY where others tell you God is.
Good thoughts all. As read through the thoughts, it occurred to me you are giving her every opportunity and she seems to back down.
Also be aware of any other commitments she may have that would affect a new one. Such as marriage, children, relationships,
We all have a voice print, the same as a fingerprint. Trust your instincts when it comes to talking to her. I would strongly suggest the phone before initial meeting.
Now the other side...a baby is born and cries, a tree buds, brings forth berries and leaves, dies and in its season buds again. The stars and moon come out every night. And the sun rises on another day. Isn't creation beautiful!
And the more we blame God for mans inhumanity to man, the less we will take personal responsibility for our own actions. This is obviously out of country with no balanced laws. Woman are abused and it is lauded.
But that would be defining the undefinable. God is just not one size fits all. God to many has many and varied opinions - all of which are correct. God is!
there is an unseen energy in life that works as natural law. Why does cause and effect have such an impact? Perhaps God is ordering and creating all the time?
At some time you may want some conversation. Age differences mean that the partner doesn't have the same experience base. Makes for dull conversation. Mutual interests are what keep any relationship functioning...dating and relating.
They are a space saver bed that folds up into its own frame. In the old days there were apts. that were equipped with them to save space. My aunt and nana lived in such a place. We thought it was fun at the time.
It would depend totally upon what you are looking for in the relationship. Its pretty hard to be hugged and kissed from a distance. Real connections tend to need hands on.
Years ago I had a pen pal and looked forward with joy and anticipation to the communication. The internet can make that so much faster it loses its anticipation factor.
