Okay, I can understand why divorcing your spouse is wrong, but this is going too far. People need to be allowed to make mistakes sometimes, which is why we don't just marry people as soon as we take an interest in them. Me and her weren't right for each other, so it's better for both of us if...

You've got the wrong idea, Noose. She never hurt me; I hurt her. It would be wrong of me to stay with her, even though she wanted me to. I wasn't good for her, nor am I good for anybody at this stage in my life. I still have too much growing up to do... And yeah. I do care about her, a...

I didn't think I was going to care that much, but the word "Goodbye" really got my stomach turning. We both knew it was the right thing to do, so I certainly don't have any hard feelings toward her, and even though she's really upset with me, I know she feels the same. So... I guess, if you...

Oof, amen. And don't I know it... There are lots of little farms back home that I could help on this fall. I really enjoy land maintenance work, so I figure rackin' leaves and shovelin' manure would be a good (if not terribly profitable) use of my free time while I'm at home. Aside from...

Hey y'all, I'm figuring whether I should stay in school for the semester, or take a leave of absence for a few months to figure out what I'm doing with my time up here at college. I could really use some wisdom right now, and I'd appreciate it if someone would pray for me. I'm already prayin'...

Thanks, y'all. I'm in a bit less turmoil now.

That's quite a few questions; I'll answer them in order. 1) Yes, it is still early. That is, if 3 weeks in is still considered "early". 2) My passions cannot be translated into a career. I love competitive video games and card games, building computers from scratch, and just about any kind...

Therein may lie the source of my depressive stupor: I don't have a major at the moment. Last year, I tried pursuing a Biology major during my first semester. That fell through as soon as I realized that I hated using hard science to answer questions about the natural world. I then renounced...

That's a good proverb, and one I had forgotten until now. Thank you for sharing it with me.

I'm 19 years old, but I feel about as jaded and cynical as though I just turned 40. And yeah, I usually try to make a point of being kind to others, and I'm always willing to help when I'm asked to. That said, I'm not good for much. I'm a poor speaker, and an even poorer source of...

Well, that does put me in a good spot, now doesn't it? I've never once committed blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, so I guess I'm good in terms of where I'll end up after I die. That said, I still feel like a dirtbag.

I love it when this question comes up. I go to George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. I'm pretty sure that this town has the highest concentration of churches of any town in the state, and GFU is an officially-recognized Christian university. Now, all of those credentials aside, my campus...

The wolf isn't exactly a Christian symbol either, you know. Naming my CC profile after a fictional dragon isn't going to cause me any harm. Besides, Lao Shan is more like a big, docile lizard than a proper dragon.

Welp, that's a new one. And here I was convinced that suicide was a one-way ticket to the netherworld... Why do you say that, anyway? Everyone I've talked to prior has told me that someone who takes their own life can never be admitted into God's presence because they have committed a sin...

Yeah, probably. After all, if I really wanted to go to hell, I would have just offed myself by now... Maybe I'm just really depressed.
