I certainly appreciate what you are saying. I'm not saying feeling "in love" in wrong, but it can be misleading. I just say this from personal experience. Every time I've felt that feeling it was for men that I was not compatible with, but got some kind of intense feeling with and I thought it...

There seems to be some negativity regarding marriage...how unfortunate! Marriage is a wonderful thing, something to strive for. I really dislike the way many Christians try to say that their neediness for marriage is somehow a reflection of their insecurities, that a man/woman can't meet their...

Air Force boot camp is 6 weeks long. It's changed since I went through (a little over 10 years ago), so I can't tell you what's it like now, but when I went through it was challenging, but in a good way. Lots of marching, getting yelled at, push ups, running, cleaning, classroom learning, etc. I...

I consider myself very forgiving. I have forgiven some pretty serious offenses against me and feel no ill feelings towards the individuals. My ex-husband cheated and lied to me consistently and after 6 years of marriage he ended up leaving me for someone else. He's completely forgiven. I have...

I thought Lee Strobel was an investigative journalist, not a lawyer? His wife became a Christian and he was dead set on convincing her it was false, hence the investigation. Since he couldn't disprove Christianity, he became a Christian himself. He wrote the book The Case for Christ.

If you read what I wrote, I did mention two single parents that I know that struggle...but one is truly an idiot and the other used to have an issue with drugs so she's kind of a mess. Anyone capable of being responsible can do it. I also mentioned that I do not recommend it. But not for the...

Wow. This is so far from being true. I'm a single mom and pretty much none of the issues you've mention apply to me, and I doubt they apply to most single parents in general. In fact, my mom had a friend when she was much younger that got pregnant and ended up being a single mom...she has done...

I was in the Air Force in my early 20s. I was an Air Surveillance Technician. It's a pretty cool field overall. Air Surveillance Technician, which is generally boring, can be a stepping stone to becoming a Weapons Director (or a number of other specialist positions within the field), which is a...

The idea of this country becoming a Socialist country worries me greatly. I don't really understand why anyone would want that? I just don't understand the Left agenda at all... I try to understand (I have two brothers that are far Left), but I just don't get it. All we need to do is look at...

I have definitely been right where you are in feeling this way. It is such a painful, hopeless, and scary place to be. My hearts break for you in hearing that you are feeling like you want to take your own life. What has always prevented me from committing to those thoughts is realizing that...

That's a tough one, but I think I agree with many who are saying not to go. I've never been in this situation, but my cousin had to make this decision a few years ago when his mother was marrying her girl friend. It was a small wedding and I think only a few close friends and my cousin were...

Also, I had planned on watching my favorite movie, Old Fashioned, later that night after my son went to bed, but ended up not doing so. Has anyone seen that movie though? I saw it in theaters alone on Valentine's while I was going through a divorce (about 4 years ago)...still my favorite movie...

I worked on Valentine's Day and then after work I went to Target to find my two year old son a Valentine gift(s). His name is Phineas (Finn for short) so I got him a little box of chocolates that had a shark on it and it said "You're Fin-tastic!). I thought that was perfect :D And he got a Paw...

Thank you, this is good advice. I will certainly seek God's guidance before making a decision.

Thank you for your advice! I appreciate the literature you've shared regarding Calvinism.
