There Fixed It.
Churches that are about middle size range are from 100-1000. Large Churches are about 1000-5000. Then mega-churches are at around 5,000

Wow...those numbers are high, but you're probably right. I think Adam's church in Leawood, KS hosts about 20k, but that sure does put mega churches in the single digits, then.

I know, for example, in the Methodist church, in Oklahoma, 77% of the 600ish churches we have are under 100. Many or possibly most of us probably consider St. Luke's in OKC or Asbury in Tulsa to be Mega-churches, but they're definitely under 5k.

Interesting...

Unfortunately anxiety has been doing that to me too I'm nearly throwing up but I realise I need God heal me I can't go around like that its annoying the nausea thing. I use to find this girl at my primary was like over dramatic drama queen idk it was unpleasant because she kept telling she was nausea and was trying not to up chuck in sports but now I understand I feel sad that trauma and anxiety has got that bad in my life and I feel for you Abby and others too. It gets in the way. I'd encourage to get help if you need and prayer.

Real Life Convo (While Working @ Starbucks):


Me: (Pulling charred bacon from oven floor) "Hey Josh, check this out! It's looks like the physical manifestation of sin..."


Josh: (Friend/Shift Supervisor who happens to be Jewish) "It is!"

Spent the last 3-4 days with the thought of my ex cuddling up with another guy, her new bf. It comes to me at least once an hour whether or not i'm thinking of her. And that she's apparently not speaking to me only makes it worse. Or better that i don't have to hear it. I don't know. I just know it sucks either way.
Add to that that i also keep having really weird dreams which have vibes that stick with me for hours, or sometimes the whole day, at the same time.
I prayed for months that God would remove my feelings for her, He did the opposite over and over. I thought maybe i just need to show that i'm always there for her and it would mean something one day. Now we don't talk and i have to think about her with someone else and i see where i've done no good for her, or myself. In fact she's just as bad, maybe worse, than she was before we dated. Not that i think that's my fault, but still.
It took me 40 years to finally feel confident God was leading me in a direction. After this it'll probably be another 40 before i would take that risk again.

Yeah, everyone says 'well at least you grew/learned something/etc...' as if that's supposed to help. It doesn't help.

Sadly, we were out of pineapples haha. But nah it was like 4am. I didn't want to leave them by themselves, so I stuck around for a bit to make sure he left and he eventually did. Weird tho lol

I remember feeling like that. Nobody can really say anything to make you feel better. It's cliche, but it really does take time. Good luck to you, Ugly. You've got support, for what it's worth.

It's perfectly acceptable for the neighbor's 2 year old boy to stand in the middle of the yard in nothing but his diaper, screaming at the top of his lugs in an incoherent babble. If I, at almost 40 years old stripped to my skivvies and stood in my yard doing the same thing, I would get tazered and hauled off to jail.

Double standards. Phooey.
