After observing recent events I would be cautious TBH.. u just never know when someone is going to throw something back at you... my guess is the less ammunition the better... you can build genuine friendships then off the site and share what you feel you want to with them..
Yes defo... I am considering a change of career perhaps.. since starting to help out in Sunday school I have discovered that I would really love to be a primary school teacher... It is something I would have always liked but lately I am thinking.. I would really love it.. kids are great arent they?
very interesting angle..... really really good.. what I try to do with the kids is be very positive about good behaviour.. lots of praise and be consistent with consequences for 'bad' behaviour.. not easy though cause today for example I could understand why the boys were getting restless... we were practicing for the Christmas play for ages so could understand.. they have to be able to take instruction though and obey rules.. otherwise its chaos particularly in a class environment..
I think kids need boundaries...definitely.. it makes them feel more secure in themselves.. they are also alot more clever than we think.. they know right from wrong.. so not confirming it for them, sending mixed messages or 'rewarding' or ignoring bad behaviour is a recipe for disaster I reckon..
Today for e.g. in Sunday school I had to discipline a couple of the boys (in the form of their not getting 'treats') at the end of class cause they just wouldn't take direction and remain quiet (understatement!!) .. the were practically doing somersaults around the place .. I felt rotten.. but it has to be done.. promises and disciplinary action have to be followed through to conclusion there has to be consequences/or benefits (as the case may be).. otherwise there is no incentive to behave.. great thread Chris...
There were comments made last night Harry that were so unbelievably unecessary... I have always been a fan of people asserting their views it is always an entertaining challenge to debate ur corner.. part of why I became a Lawyer I guess was my love of the 'debate'... derogatory comments however or personal attacks and insults however are not fair game.... like e.g. If I knew something deeply personal to you (which I don't of course just sayin) and in the course of the disagreement blurted it out in order to hurt you.. would that be fair? I really don't think so... ...
I wish everyone was like you.. unfortunately they are not... censorship of a persons valid opinion... not a fan at all!!! retraint of out of control disruptive behaviour ... yes sadly the Mods have a very important role in that regard...
I agree that serious jealousy is like a nasty acid that corrodes all it touches, but have you never experienced the 'light' kind.. my ex used to sorta puff out his chest, stand tall and come put his arm around me when he thought another guy was flirting.. I found it funny and kinda cute..... it never bothered him that I had male friends though, just as it didn't bother me that he had lots of female friends, cause I knew he was the faithful type.. most people are..
I am guessing she is feeling pretty vulnerable at the moment, and not at her most attractive, this can have an effect on a persons confidence.. I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet... particularly if you like her...
Also while jealousy is a horrible and destructive thing ultimately... a little light 'jealousy' can simply be an indication of someones sincere interest as opposed to some sinister controlling streak..
Good luck .. ya can't help it if you are irresistable
.... Jesus' main persecuters were the Pharisees.. who were a particularly legalistic hypocritical form of Jew... sound familiar??..... Jesus came to show us the way the truth and the life..... but even his teachings were later corrupted by the Roman Catholic Church which were basically the Pharisees in a different suit... much of its teachings have not come from the Bible at all, and use of the Bible is not encouraged.... we have to ask ourselves why
Its strange how these things work cause there is no prescribed formula despite what people think... I know so many great girls with everything going for them who are unlucky in the guys they meet... they are really good looking, fun, great personalities.. intelligent, good careers.. and nothing.. trying to get my head around it myself and just can't ... I guess alot of men are not comfortable with girls like that.. low self esteem or something.. just don't know...
I hope so!! though I will be at my Mums house so I don't know which service I will be going to as I would prefer a Christian Worship format that the Catholic 'Mass' format, where u just stand up... sit down.... stand up.. and sit down again for an hour... though the hymns are good
excellent post ... greatness I think... is an essence, a strength of character it is dictated to by the timeless values of honesty, truth and integrity. It trancends the present time.. Most people in any given era take a prescribed current and don't have the courage to go against the flow.. a great person will trancend this and rise above it and just 'Be'....... for the common good..
Hiya sweetie... amazing stories ..... I am afraid you are throwing pearl to swine though, like those who could witness Jesus carry out healings and miracles and still not believe, some are just blinded.. we wont make them see, not by logic anyway.. ..
Normal = 1. Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type; typical: normal room temperature; one's normal weight; normal diplomatic relations.
Sanity = the state of having a normal healthy mind
And give that in accordance to recent statistics only 2.75% of the entire population of the world do not believe in God... what do you think?
IMHO I would say Billions upon Billions of people believe in something... they can't all be insane...
RE: MEN ONLY. Which attracts you more?
Hmmm... I hope eyes have some currency cause I am not keen on my legs.. ..
