For one, the ex only phones me at work, and I’ve never phoned him. I’m sure he calls at work so my husband won’t know. He doesn’t have very true and insightful. I just feel it’s in my best interest now to let it go.

Thank you all. I decided to not respond as I agree that my commitment is my husband and I want no trouble. The few times in 25 years we’ve had issues was all due to him having phone conversations with other females. I know that terrible feeling on the other side.

Yes, that's an issue. My husband wouldn't agree to any contact -slippery slope. I've left it alone, just feel bad but also feel communication at this point might encourage more - because there's always been a lot of personal feelings between us. I feel crappy not responding, but responding...

Married 25 years. My ex from high school and I have kept in touch over years occasionally. Phone or email. We lived in same neighborhood so families were friends. To be honest, he was my first true love. So, my dad age 86 just passed away and my ex, who loved my dad, found out 2 months later. He...

So last week we were not at church Sunday because my 86 yr old father had emergency surgery late Saturday night and we were at the hospital all day Sunday and Monday -- but we did get a message from our pastor (the one who asked us the prior week what were we doing for Jesus) - which is a...

We've been going to a new small Christian church for about two months now. Week 1 the pastor invited us to a weekly small group bible study he hosts at his home for couples on Friday nights at 7 - including a meal in which everyone brings a dish based on the theme. My husband and I opted out...

We had a 2 hour church service today with a visiting "missions" pastor who basically gave a salesman type of service for 2 hours on funding their ministry to train new pastors to go out and serve in India and several other countries. He went on and on about it costing $3,000 to train a pastor...

My husband is under a lot of stress at work right now. His boss got fired 4 weeks ago, and my husband is having to do his job and his fired bosses job without any training or help. He's very stressed. Since this has happened, he has been going in work early around 6 in the morning and working...

Hi, I've been told that I am pre-diabetic by my Dr. No one in my family has ever had diabetes, but a few months ago, moms Dr. told her she was diabetic and put her on a low dose of metformin (sp?) ... her A1C was 6.2. My morning blood sugar is always around 135 - 145. The moment I eat yogurt...

Well, Christmas at my parents was a flop. The "favorite" family (my sisters) went to see her in-laws at noon, so they didn't get back to my parents until 3. I went to my parents with my husband and son at 12 noon so that we could see my middle 27 yr old son (who had to work at 3:00 that day)...

What is the significance of the decorated Christmas tree and hanging stockings from the chimney from a Christianity basis? How are they related to the birth of Jesus Christ which is what the day signifies?

Our pastor told our congregation yesterday that he is stepping down from being a senior pastor effective January 4th. He got a job in the corporate world after being a pastor in his own ministry for 31 years. He started the ministry of this church on his own, started in a school building, years...

Hi, I have never been one to say a blessing before eating a meal, other than on special occasions with family and friends, but in my deeper walk with the Lord, I feel more inclined to ask a blessing before eating. Because I've never done this, it feels a bit awkward and I really dont know what...

I have a question (fairly new at studying the depths of Christianity and Bible) and I understand that we as Christians believe that only by accepting Christ can an individual be saved. Does this mean that the overwhelming majority of Jews, God's chosen people, will not be saved? Also, I don't...

I've been terribly upset the last few days and harboring a lot of feelings of hurt, resentment, anger, bitterness, jealousy and the list goes on and on. These are not good Christian or human traits, I know, and I am really working on letting go of those feelings today. To make a long story...
