Thanks very much for the encouragement, CharliRenee.
The truth is, I was going through a super "serious" phase (as shown by my previous threads about prayer before this one.) I know that one of the most pervasive criticisms of the Singles Forum is that it's somehow not "spiritual" or that we never talk about the Bible, etc.
When I go through my "withdrawal" phases I started reading/watching documentaries about things that catch my interest -- this time it was psychopathology, the histories behind the remains of ancient mummification, genetics (conjoined twins, hermaphroditism, chimeras), and various other times when genetics seem to go horribly wrong -- and during these phases, I'm asking God questions the whole time.
But these aren't exactly the kinds of things that people want to read about, especially here in Singles, lol... So my need for serious discussion came out in the Prayer threads, while this thread is a by-product of everything else. Just an old idea I'd been carrying around ever since the last shipping tthread died out.
I still have a couple more ideas...
We'll see what happens. No guarantees, as I can go into another withdrawal phase at any given time, and without any notice, depending on my stress levels, depression, and what's going in in life, etc. And if I happen to "fall out" of a writing mode, I just can't make myself do it, no matter how much I might try. I just have to wait it out until it "comes back" again, so there are a lot of ups and downs.
I am always thankful for your kindness and support, even if I step out of the loop for a while.

Also, If ever you need someone to talk to when you “hit that state of mind”, I am here for you, even if you need prayers okay 💜
