Notice I said "around here". ;) Though thank you both, wisebeardman and Mr. Pepe. :p



Thank you. I must admit, Art05, that I have not always positive about it and still struggle being positive some days currently. Facebook doesn't help at all (which is why I'm going to try not get on as much) but CC helps immensely, as well as keeping God's truth in mind.

Sure. I know it's tough. But you're not alone ;) I know that's not much to encourage you (because it doesn't encourage me), but just know that a whole bunch of people are going through the same. Thank you Rachel.

Sometimes people don't really want someone to give them advice. They just want to feel like there are others who understand what they are going through. I get that.

I'm a "fixer". My personal effort at growth has been to slow down on the fixing, and just listen and sympathize when people talk.

Yes. Sigh ... if only the others were as wise as this precious soul.

Back to point, I happen to be single because of my future career in taxidermy. Here's my latest. I know I have a couple of tweeks, but what do you think overall? It's getting there isn't it?

Read the very first post I put up, and that should answer your question in volumes.

Is taxidermy not a good job? I totally understand. Thanks for sharing.

No, I don't like insulting people. This is a Christian forum, right? You are a Christian, right? lol

I am single because no one is interested in me, and I am interested in no one around here. I tried online dating, once, and it didn't go well. Perhaps I shouldn't swear off online dating sites because of that one instance, but it definitely made me want to take a break from it.

Other than that, I don't know the whys. If I try to think of them, I usually end up being negative towards myself, which isn't good. So, I don't try to question why things have or have not happened in my life. I will continue to grow as a person in this season of singleness, and I think that's the main important thing about being single: Grow and learn (about yourself and God) no matter what your circumstances. Have fun. Do things. Don't let your relationship status determine your happiness. Relationships certainly can add to one's life, but they don't fix everything.

Despite the above, I'm not saddened or distraught. I'm only 23. That's just the way it is right now and I'm okay being single. *Shrugs*

that's exactly how I see it..it can be hard to give the best of yourself to another,especially if they don't deserve it or want it. Sooo in my trials of love,I have learned that you must always care for yourself and love YOU first and formost.

I'm sad that after six years you still don't know what the Bible says.

Ah, facetious Christians, take your false and unsincere "encouragements" and spill them somewhere else! I can see right through them all. That simple exhortation of Paul applies to you: Be not wise in your own conceits.

And my mom wouldn't much care about what I post in a Christian forum, seeing that she is not a Christian. But thanks for making fun of my mom. [You're holy sarcasm is rubbing off on me! Oh no!]

haha You see, this is why I told all of you from the very beginning to NOT try to help or encourage on this thread ... to avoid 'fails', like this lady has done. Let's be wiser next time, k?

Awwww...He actually tried to hurt my little feeler. :) Isn't that precious? :)
Careful not to bear false witness, young one. You have no idea who these people are. Ignorance is no excuse.
Enjoy your little thread. :)

And Jullianna looks sweet, but she's a cop, and a PI, and probably a ninja too. I wouldn't try that little stunt of yours again.

I have to admit that when one has been shot at, stabbed and blown up, having someone as rude and hypocritical as this one try to hurt your last little feeler by attempting juvenile gotchas in a chat forum can give ya quite a chuckle. ;) Duck everybody! He's got a keyboard and he's not afraid to use it! :D

It's been entertaining, but getting a little boring. And the longer we post on it the longer this mess will be here, so I think I'll just leave a little something to help him get over it.

Exactly, wisebeardman.

If someone is looking for Job's comforters, a Christian forum is not the place to find them. That's secular stuff.

The children of God are instructed to encourage one another in Hebrews, Romans, Acts, Philippians, Thessalonians, Ephesians and Proverbs. If someone doesn't like that, they need to take it up with the Father. We are to obey God, not people.

If God puts something on my heart to share, I'll share it, even if it ever means being banned.

I see my post rings true. Misery loves company. He's miserable and wants everyone else as miserable as he is.

Sure, we must keep our hearts with diligence. Especially when it's just in the courtship stage. But (or if) the relationship grows and grows, then of course there is room for transparency and openness.

Thank you sir. By the way, you look incredibly young for 46. God bless!
