Sorry I'm late to the party but I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you saying these men become crude and lack integrity when they're with their friends and not their family?

I don't think she means all men. I know not all men behave this way. But we were discussing how some men say a woman can't preach or teach because they become irrational when they have their periods.

Ah, thanks, Fenner. I think I jumped in at the wrong time. I can be cheeky at times but I don't believe sexist remarks are beneficial for anyone, so I don't say them.

No problem, you didn't seem angry or anything. My Sister and I were just having this conversation a couple of weeks ago. Someone we both know has a tendency to talk about women in ways that I don't appreciate. She said, "Oh Jen, guys do that." So I said, "No they all don't do that." I know and people might think I'm naive but my Husband and the friends he will go out with once and a while, they don't talk like that. I've asked him and he has said, no. They talk about comic books and Dr. Who. I believe him. Even if they see someone attractive I know they aren't saying vulgar things about her.

I told her most Men of God don't do those things. Or they shouldn't and woman shouldn't do it either. It's disrespectful and crude.

Dr. Who!!! Yeaah!! :D haha


Seriously. I don't get why the opposite genders have this war. Not all of them talk about them behind their backs. Only the immature and those that aren't concerned about God do, and why are you hanging out with them anyways?

Doctor Who! Love it!

I'm no angel. I do sometimes get frustrated with girls and how they communicate so differently than us guys. I like blunt, straight-to-the-point communication. And that's not always possible. :p I do sometimes get frustrated with girls who talk a lot and say little (if you know what I mean) but I try to keep my thoughts to myself. And while I'm tempted as much as any guy to check out girls, I don't, because it's objectifying them. It's quite tricky to get some of my friends to understand that "look but don't touch", isn't an innocent mantra. I try my best to respect girls but I don't always succeed. Thank God for forgiveness.

I'm praying for the whole family Fenner. :)


Day 3 Of this miserable illness, for the whole family. For the first time my pharmacy screwed some orders up for Tamiflu for my kids. It was nuts. I'm glad they choose the day I have no voice to call me with questions like, we're out of the strength Tamiflu want to call around? Seeing as there are 5 more CVS pharmacies in our area I asked them to check. Call from another CVS the pharmacy that had just called to ask me about my son, told them they never got prescriptions for my children.

It did eventually work out it took like 10 calls. It was crazy.

"Fear is easy, but love is hard." - Jason Gray

If I could fight with a song, I'm fighting this one. It causes such a war within me. Struggling to let a heart that's been broken love again. I want to love again. Not a romantic love, but just love itself. It's hard knowing the love of Jesus yet knowing I'm holding back.

I just can't let anyone in. I don't fit into anyone's world, clique, and or beliefs. Apparently, I'm only good for working, giving without question, and to be the guy that just listens to other people's problems... Whoop-dee-doo.
I think it important to listen to each others stories, and make sure as best as possible to really hear without condemnation or interruption. I see much learni ng to be accomplished from and through each other. God gave me two ears to listen twice as much as I speak, I am still a work in progress. Learning to fully listen before saying what I see as well

So yeah. Here I am. Sitting here alone in my friends apartment while he's at work,and grateful in a way to be far from Maine,but still feeling displaced...trying to put on a brave face.

He's not a Christian...actually he doesn't believe in God,but he's always been one of those people that is "ok" with me being a Christian. lol I guess 'cause I've never tried to be all preachy at him or whatever. I think he's one of those well if there is a God then...yadda yadda yadda? Being back here is pretty unsettling in an odd way. Thing's have changed around here for sure,as to be expected.

So yeah,I don't know what I'm saying...I'm just sad...for many reasons...none of which I will go into. Thing's will pan out eventually. I won't be here long. God is faithful.
Just wanted to say hi.:)
Hi ans stay strong, and show your appreciation to him, by what you do around the place as I am at my sisters as well for now, getting my feet back on the ground too.
So I clean, do laundry, wash dishes and whatever I can do with my disabilities I am diagnosed with
Go ITORE go, brother, just bloom wherever you are planted

Random thought: I wish people were more careful with other's hearts and emotions. I think it's wrong to lead someone on just because you feel like it. You never know how much that person cared.

i'm more than a bit tired of reading posts on cc where guys are listing as a primary reason that women shouldn't have responsibility/preach/be in charge of anything because they might get their period and madness will ensue.

i don't get it. they think a woman is going to get her period and bring down an entire organization? really?

c'mon guys. how about some valid points. i'm not talking about whether i agree or not. just fight fair instead of some obvious, bogus, low hanging fruit.

i've read two posts today out in the "deep end of the pool"... not talking about something here.
Everyone has the right to their own opinion whether we agree or not, If I asked God to take away free choice, that would mean for mine to be taken away. So I say, thank you for free choice and I agree with you, God uses who God wants because God does not see in the flesh, rather the Spirit where there is no male, female, Jew or Greek
God just loves us all, This is what I see

I have soooo not done what I've needed to do this week. Time to get the notebooks and buckle down. If I wanna graduate early and get a job, I gotta grow up and push through. Ugh. I hate hearing that. SO MUCH. You have no idea. I don't want to do. But nothing will be handed to me on a silver platter.

Unless you're on welfare, unemployment benefits, or some other government program.... oops. Did I just say that?
Yes you did, and quite okay, I am on SSDI, and not loving it, but thankful

After being settled ans seeing God's lov e that casts out all fear, the opposite of waht you said is true
Love is easy and fear is not
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfectlove casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Unfortunately, a lot of people are taught to love their neighbor as self in the way of lying
to not hurt their feelings, actually excusing lying to our neighbor.

And when one finds out you lied, are they hurt deeper than if one told the truth to begin with. And are we going to say I did it to not hurt you? What a crock
Tell truth, and say when the other acts upset over it. Ask then would you rather me lie?
There are many untruths preached and much misleading taught that harms us not edifies us.
