    Feeling a little sad and 'lonely' today

    Hi folks, it's now 3rd July. Things seem to have fizzled out with the "friend" despite my positive responses to his reaching out, no texts now. Some tears - I don't feel valued as a friend, so have let go. Only God knows what is going on after 3 years of regularly seeing one another (probably...

    What! no flour? Try some 15 min homemade bread - in a mug

    Interesting, LaughingHeart, I didn't know that. Thank you. She sounds like an out-of-touch ruler to me. I hear talk of riots here, too.

    COMMUNITIES COMING TOGETHER

    Hi there, Pentecost has come and gone. There have been a few UK National Zoom prayer for the nation initiatives, including around Pentecost and another one this morning by Intercessors for Britain. Church buildings are still not open here and I see petitions going round to urge the Government...

    Feeling a little sad and 'lonely' today

    Thank you for your prayers. I have been able to have some text dialogue with my manfriend and sort things out that way. The anger and my experiencing it as rejection were two different things. The first is his issue and the latter is mine. Having seen each other nearly every week at least...

    Tired of Grieving Alone

    I am not a diagnostician but it sounds rather like something like Autism or Aspbergers. I did a whole Google search on a range of labels that matched his symptoms but am very wary of attaching man-made labels as I feel it could be limiting. From my own experiences and observations as a...

    What! no flour? Try some 15 min homemade bread - in a mug

    Whoops! Am I going daft or something? It was SESAME SEED FLOUR (fat reduced) and not Hemp Flour! Honestly! Probably Brain Strain from self-isolating for so many weeks..... Ha Ha. Well, my SESAME FLOUR BREAD in a mug is very tasty and very nutritious. Sorry for misleading you all!

    COMMUNITIES COMING TOGETHER

    Wow, so right Lanolin! You put into words what I was feeling but couldn't articulate so neatly. 'Home Hubs' in each neighbourhood is what came to me a few years ago when suddenly, over Christmas, the new neighbours downstairs invited the near neighbours for drinks, including the other new...

    Something You are Thankful For

    Wow, yes, I had something similar, a feeling of intense warfare just before the COVID19 thing; methinks it was the enemy having a last fling because God was about to move amongst and through His people .... now we seem to be in a new season with new opportunities ... it seems like a season the...

    Blain's Testimony

    HI BLAIN! Thanks so much for being brave enough to share ..... I didn't go through what you did but found dealing with being adopted and rejected twice by my real mother pretty tough, then a couple of years of trafficking in an extremely abusive cult left me feeling a mess and more crap in...

    Tired of Grieving Alone

    WOW!!! I've just had a vent on the Sad and Lonely thread about a man who sounds exactly like the 'she' you refer to. Wanting to be with you but not really present. I am so sorry - it really hurts, doesn't it, when someone you love just doesn't connect with you on an intimate or emotional...

    Was it Marie Antoinette who said: "What, no bread?" Her answer: "Let them eat cake". So there you have it, bros. Problem solved. Have a great day.

    This song really blessed me this week: Who is this that appears like the dawn? A Vineyard song.

    Something You are Thankful For

    The beautiful painting of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane by Danish artist, Carl Bloch, really ministered to me this week - just another of those beautiful 'whispers' of the Lord as He ministers to us in various ways throughout the day and by various means. Jesus was in a hard, narrow place...
