Happens to the best of us!

I was not a Christian when I was 23. I became a Christian fairly recently, studying the Bible and attending church in 2024 and being baptized last December. My ex is Roman Catholic and while I was not a believer during the time we were together her faith was something I did not discourage at...

I have been doing it off and on now for years. The first hotel I worked at was straight thirds from 2011-2017. Did it briefly in early 2020, back at it from late 2023 to early 2024 and now since February of last year. There is nothing more irritating to me in my line of work than an afternoon...

I yousta sleep when the moon was in the sky but due to my current job I rest during the daytime like a vampire. I have not gone as far to replace my bed with a proper coffin.... yet.

This question did get me thinking a bit in a productive way about how this relates to myself. I was in a place after the collapse of my marriage where finding someone else was a top priority for me. I was fairly young when I got married (23) and did truly expect to have my wife at my side until...

I will be happy to pray that you may continue to seek and understand the Lord's will for your life and would appreciate the same from you as well. I have been in the hospitality industry working at hotels since 2011 so I can relate to the feeling of having pleasure from serving others at work...

We just started going through Matthew in Sunday school class at my local church and this is a great reminder I will bring up when we get to chapter 20! I appreciate you sharing those verses they do sum up how we should try our best to emulate well as believers.

This is very much related in Scripture, Ephesians 5:25-33 as one example. Verses 28-29 state: So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also...

I go with the understanding of the word repentance from the original word in Greek, metanoia: a change of mind, as it appears to one who repents, of a purpose he has formed or of something he has done

The former pastor at my church introduced me to a book by Dietrich Bonhoeffer titled "The Cost of Discipleship" that had a lasting impact on me. In one of the early chapters the author conveys the idea of cheap grace versus costly grace. This is from an internet search that summarized the...

I was going through Proverbs 8 in one of my devotional readings today and these verses stuck out to me: Proverbs 8:32-36 Now therefore, O sons, listen to me, For blessed are they who keep my ways Heed instruction and be wise, And do not neglect it. Blessed is the man who listens to me...

Thanks for sharing this!

People definitely consider me an extrovert due to my ability to engage in conversation with just about anyone (my career path has practically forced me to develop this skill), however I do understand the need for quiet time to recharge our batteries, think about where we are in life and where...

Thanks and I hope you have a happy weekend as well!

I appreciate you taking the time to welcome me!
