Never thought of that wisebeardman. That makes sense. It's still a pain. 
- Just to add, even though my spiritual life is in shambles, I feel.... On the verge of a breakthrough.

each state has its own rules. like the inspection stuff. Indiana don't do it outside of 4 counties, Marion,Hamilton,Lake,Porter. where I live no inspection. so if you moved here all you would have to do is bring in current dl, ss card, birth cert. and proof of address and also proof of insurance. and bang, new Dl and new plates.

I kept my New Mexico driver's licence after moving to El Paso for almost 3 years. Finally gave it up when an election year rolled around, and I had to register to vote. Also kept the New Mexico plates on the previous Shourmobile indefinitely; when I got the current Shourmobile, I had to get Texas plates. Bleh.
If you can fly under the radar, you can get by. You're busy, and it's an easy thing to forget. But when you get a free day, it's probably best to get that stuff done, just for the sake of staying legal. You know, Romans 13 and stuff.

God is more patient with us than we are with ourselves. We assume that if we fall, we aren't born again. If we stumble, then we aren't truly converted. If we have old desires, then we must not be a new creation. If you are anxious about this, please remember, "God began doing a good work in you, and I'm sure He will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christmas comes again"(Philippians 1:6)
I'm pleased at the responses to the thread in the Bible Study discussion area. I am also very encouraged by those that came from here to show their love and support. I can see a lot of wheels turning at the topic. Including mine as there have been a lot of very informative posts to consider.
God certainly is awesome and when it is always exciting to see his spirit move within the body.

Thread blocking would actually be really wonderful. I always start out on the main Singles page and read any thread with new posts in it, but it's a pain skipping over those I have no interest in. It bothers my OCD desire to check "every thread", too.
These days there are more I don't want to read than those I do. I miss discussion provoking questions, deep sharing of lives, and creative thinking.
(Would love more details on this date you mentioned Bugs!)

I'm not very OCD though, so it doesn't bother me to only read two or three threads on the front page...For the record, I rarely end up posing in the thinking type threads for two reasons. I haven't given much if any thought to most of the threads that come up, so I generally don't have much to share. The second reason being, I don't transfer my thoughts from my brain to paper well, it takes too much time and I lost my train of thought and key phrases easily. I'm getting better, but I'm an engineer so i'm forever cursed with not being able to write well.
I've been thinking about starting a thread on forgiveness though...As far as the date, I asked myself if I wanted to go to dinner and I accepted. haha I'm traveling by myself, and was reading an article about eating alone and it mentioned treating your date well. I thought the date concept was funny, and I did say I was still single, you just didn't see it.
Eating alone was definitely far outside of my comfort zone, but asking a girl out is even farther out of my comfort zone. Someday...Besides, even if I did ask a girl out, knowing my luck i'd probably end up really liking her seeing as i'm 2000 miles from home.

Yes, I miss the thought provoking threads too. We have had some good threads lately, which got me to thinking of how much I have been missing them. I enjoy some funny threads, but that's not the main reason i'm here. I've learned allot of great things the time that I've spent here, and it's just not the same anymore.

Given this new information, I think I'll ask Mocha out on a date tonight. If he's not up to it, maybe I could put a little bow tie on my cat and see if he'd like to sit down with me for a nice dinner. Eh, who'm I kidding? I'd probably have better luck with the fish.
Please, don't mind me. This is what 3.5 hours of sleep does to me.

I had a dream that I saw my old childhood friend whom I guess I am still emotionally attached to in some manner. We went from being best friends seeing each other everyday for years, to her suddenly realizing that she is cooler than me and calling me all sorts of colorful names in front of her friends. Not to mention I was there for her through an abusive time her life as a young child. We shared painful experiences too. But she stopped acknowledging the same pain I went through as her. What a betrayal huh?! And then we grew apart, moved. I never saw her again. But ties are just left hanging in some ways.
Every dream I have of her, is a completion. I see her, we talk, she misses me, says sorry, we go back to way things were. Back to best friends. But I know there is a whole lot wrong with all that.

If I had several of my brothers and sisters in Christ come to me and point out that I was behaving in an inappropriate way, I would listen and do what I could to correct said behavior.
Granted, I've been known to ignore the wise words and corrections of just one or two people. It's easier to keep pretending I'm right and they're wrong when it's only a couple of people.
But when something is mentioned repeatedly by several people? And others are agreeing? I think that'd make me stop and take notice.
I dunno. It's strange to me how anyone could simply ignore stuff like that and carry on with what they're doing and think, somehow, that's it's cute, or that people don't really mind.
It's not cute. It's not amusing.
