I wonder sometimes whether I am screwing up or not. For sure, this has been a difficult 12 months for me but I can't use that as a rationalization to continue to resist positive change in my life that must occur for me to become a new creation in the Lord. I will ponder anew - what the Almighty can do...

O.K. I got to confess and ask a question at the same time. At my last fasting blood test I made a faux pas and forgot that in a few minutes I was going to get blood drawn. I wanted to get the blood test out of the way before all of the Christmas eating and there was the Nichols family party the next day so I had to get it drawn on that day.

Anyway my confession is that I tasted a graham cracker crust that had been in the freezer for a few months to test if it had freezer taste. I totally forgot that in a few minutes I was off to the lab for a fasting blood test... I panicked thinking I am going to lie.... They asked if I had eaten anything and I said no....I lied and feel horrible about it. So will I be forgiven if I ask for forgiveness knowing I lied? What are your thoughts?

My first thought was wondering whether the graham cracker crust in question did indeed acquire a 'freezer' taste. I will not lie but must say that the crust was horrible. There is no need to panic as you are forgiven for this indiscretion.

Yes entire crust ended up thrown out minus a bite and the taste of the concoction that was in it - the whole thing tossed....

Note only a nibble of crust was tasted before blood test not the concoction....

It is further noted that the blood test proved conclusively that the nibble in no way was a factor in the results. Therefore, there was no infraction of the rules regarding white lies or any other color or variety as there was no harmful intent but only a loose interpretation of what was really being asked at the time the blood was drawn.

In certain churches if you know you are going to sin in the future - say, you're planning on going on a bender at the bar next Saturday night - you can buy what are called indulgences, and your future sin is covered.

It is time to leave the nightmare of Maine behind me and move forward in life. I have a loving woman as my wife and a clean slate. Nothing is going to stop us now for God is with us and is beside us always.

I'm lately having panic attacks regarding waking up on time. It really sux, waking up in nightmarish confusion and stress that I'm late for work, sometimes several times in the night before the actual time to wake up for work. This has been going on and off for at least about 10 years. I only have peace when I dont have regular obligations, like work or classes. Please say a prayer with me that this is ended, I'm hoping in God to stop this anxiety. Going back to sleep now... it was a very nasty awakening again and I decided that this has to stop.

I have said a prayer for the Lord to remove the anxiety from your life and replace this with His peace. He does not want you to worry anymore about the things that you have no control over and decided that this must stop. It is time for you to rest now and He will take care of all of the rest. He will take good care of you too.

Thank you so much, I needed to hear that.

My confession is it takes me a while to make up my mind. At a restaurant, the store, pretty much everywhere I need to make decisions because I always weigh in the good and bad points of the decision. I have gotten better, but still have a ways to go.

Confession: I feel unworthy of anything good. I feel like I am less than everyone and that I should just die already. I constantly want to hurt myself. :(

I may not know Molly well, but from what I've seen from her in such a short time, I would have to disagree with your claims. Please stop talking about Molly like that.

Really though, I think many of us know how it is and maybe are there. I'm twenty-one, only had a temporary part-time job that I sucked with (which ended tonight, thank God) and hoping that I can finally get myself going with school since they're having semesters to start within a week or just about. So many bad qualities and red flags if only a person on here knew about my life in its entirely. You probably wouldn't even want to know me.

Not saying to suppress anything you're going through. But it won't last forever and the feeling of being trapped and finding no other option can make any person insane. If you need to at least rant and get some of the burden off, you're a PM away at any time. Take care.

Why Molly?

It hurts hearing you saying (thinking) that way. You are young, yoo haven´t lived enough, however, willing to die.

May the Spirit of the Lord and God the father come to visit you to heal whaever thing broken in you.
