My Husband is trying to reason with my Son about why he needs to take a bath. It never works. "Why don't you like baths?"
"Because" "Because why?" "Because I don't like them" My Daughter chimes in, "He doesn't like soap, he likes being dirty."
It's fun to be on the outside looking in sometimes.

We (as in me and probably a lot of other people here) are praying for you more than you know. We're praying for you to get out of your bad situation, we're praying for God to strengthen and encourage you in the midst of it, we're praying that your present troubles would produce in you a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever (see 2 Cor 4:17 or just read the whole chapter).
Not sure it does any good, but pretty sure it won't do you any harm either. Just don't elevate it to some sort of magical talisman status.
You're still young enough to be allowed to sound immature every once in a while. Though we appreciate the maturity you show when you realize that your immaturity is immature. Some people never get to the point of being mature and respectful (you can see some great examples in the Bible argument forum).

Ever have those moments when God says... I can't give you more til you do a, b, and c?
And I'm not saying this in a negative way... God is saying I can't give you more until you allow me to by being solely devoted to me and me alone and stop worrying about what others think of you...
Yes, I know God. I'm trying... I'll do better next time... Because I want all of you, completely... Not just some of you.
So I have a feeling I'll be stuck until I do this "thing."

To everyone everywhere on the face of the planet... or at least to those who read threads on CC.
You are not solely one thing or the other.
You do not "only look at the heart", you look at the body too.
You do not "only hear words", you hear their tone too.
You do not "feel all my emotions at once", you are selective in what you feel and when you feel it.
I beg you, World of CC, please... PLEASE become self-aware and admit it your issues to yourself! There is no shame in realizing who you actually are or what you actually believe. You're not perfect, you don't abide in and of perfection, you are human. It's time to stop sweeping things under the rug and let Christ work on you.
And trust me, I'm right there with you. I'm in denial, I have problems, I know all the right things to say, and you know what? It doesn't serve me to stay this way. Christ came to save AND heal. If you think you're "just fine" the way you are, that nothing needs to be healed or fixed, then... you've got bigger fish to fry.

I have such a craving for an ice cold diet coke right now I'm actually going to get in my car and go buy one.. and then I'm going to the gym and try to work off all that yummy fattening filipino food I just ate for dinner.
I just came into my cabin and am bracing for a long day ahead!I am thinking how cool would it be to travel eastwards on a working day and travel westwards while I am sleeping or on a weekend.
P.S. For all the non-geeks, I was saying that I would prefer shorter days while working and longer days while resting. Now don't put on your judging glasses and brand me a geek. (-.-)
