    Single, Never Married, Without Child

    I think the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and, thus, conviction is the understanding of self. I think wisdom and understanding are harmonious, but not necessarily the same. Understanding is knowledge or education, awareness and ability, but wisdom is foresight or judgement and...

    A question for those who are or have been married

    How is Everyone Holding Up in the Winter Weather?

    I loved the Angela's Ashes clip. When I was a boy I lived for a time near an old man I befriended. He kind of looked like the headmaster in that clip. His house inside was a wreck. He lived alone and his house had papers and books all over the place. The house even smelled of paper. Thing...

    Would you date yourself?

    Can We All Find our Soulmate Somewhere In Between Dodging Zombies at Halloween and Fruitcake at Christmas?

    I like fruit cake! What I do is take a hard brick of 2010 Clackstons fruit cake and cover with a juicy spoonfull of meatloaf. MMM MMMM. Nothing says Christmas like candied fruit, old bread crumbs and brown juice with a touch of catsup. Plus I feel like I've helped a cub scout somewhere. Of...

    Please God-- hear me

    It's all good, dude. You did something you regret, you manned up about it, now you're good to go. You're hearing from people who wish the best outcome for you who understand issues like yours and it just could very well be that God Himself put you and them in a same place to hear from each...
