When he was younger, Bobby was a great student in school. He was always on the honor roll and was well liked by all of his teachers. When he started high school, his grades were still good, but he was beginning to have problems. Learning didn’t come as natural as it once had. He still made the...

A few were talking about this in chat last night, and I thought it would make an interesting thread topic. Growing up I would have been generally considered a negative person. Actually I think I had a gift for being negative. I was the type who if you gave a kid a teddy bear, I would warn you...

Have you ever been talking to someone and the thought cross your mind, "Are they flirting with me? Geesh, if this is flirting, they are awfully bad at it." As I sat in singles chat I wondered that the other night watching a few CC'ers interact. To be honest and not to knock some of my brothers...

Last night I attended a concert featuring Sanctus Real and Francesca Battistelli, and I invited one of my friends to go along with me. He really had no clue who the two main artists were, but hey, it's a free concert on a Friday night. I on the other hand had ulterior motives. I knew this...

Okay, so you are in a dating relationship and are thinking about marriage. You have spent months or even years getting to know this other person. Now you have the opportunity to sit down in front of them and ask 5 questions (yes, only 5) that in your mind are essential in your decision whether...

Sitting in a meeting this morning, the topic of family dynamics came up. It wasn't even about the relationship of parent and young child, but it was about the interaction and relationships of adults, their adult siblings, and their parents. One person made the statement that those relationships...

It has been both hilarious and amazing to watch the phenomenon of the ice bucket challenge that has swept the United States over the past few weeks. It has raised millions of dollars for research, and people are enjoying themselves in the process in an effort to promote a positive difference...

A friend called me up Thursday night and said, "Hey haven't seen you in awhile, lets go do something after work." It sounded like fun, but I also knew what this meant. He was no longer with his girlfriend. I had learned early on when he gets into a relationship, he shuts everyone else out. Once...

This thread comes out of a great experience we had tonight in Singles Chat when a few people shared their testimonies. It was an awesome time together hearing how Christ had moved in their lives and turned their lives around. Testimonies are great for so many reasons; they give us an even deeper...

A response on one of the threads made me think of a situation many of us probably encounter. I have a good friend who had been dating a woman for almost a year, and then last month they broke up. A few weeks ago he was hanging out at my place and began telling me about some of the problems they...

Because apparently new science says we've got this covered now. I don't NEED to get married. lol

Several years ago, I dated a woman who had a 10 year old autistic daughter. It was a really good relationship, but eventually we discovered we had different goals. After we broke up, not only did I have to deal with the loss of the relationship with the woman, but also the daughter. Even worse...

For several years I worked in an intervention program, and I loved every aspect of it. I got to help people improve their lives. One of the things we all were taught is how we had to remain objective, but after spending a lot of time with clients it felt like you couldn't help but be personally...

I was talking to a woman I have known for a long time, when the topic of divorce came up. In the course of the conversation, she mentioned that she had been divorced 5 times. She is in her late 40's. The idea of being divorced 5 times just bore a hole in my head, because I cannot fathom it. I...

This may be a simple question, but maybe not. How do you handle friend requests on CC? Do you simply accept every friend request you receive? Perhaps you accept all requests, but then once someone "gets on your nerves" you unfriend them, because they won't know. Do you simply reject requests...

Have you ever been approached by someone either face-to-face or even here on CC in chat who were flirting with you and showing interest, but you had absolutely no desire to interact with them? Perhaps you tried to politely turn them down, but the person still persisted on trying to gain your...

I opened my wallet to see if anything would be surprising. Everyone carries their license, rewards cards, and who doesn't carry their Jedi Council membership card? I did find a card though that is uniquely mine. I actually have carried this in my wallet for the past 18 years. I was on staff...

Even when I was a little feller, I couldn't leave my grandpa alone when he was preaching at a revival.

In the corner of my kitchen cabinet, I have a can of cat food and a bottle of root beer concentrate. I don’t own a cat, and I have no idea what root beer concentrate is used for. It’s just the place where I place the things that I have mistakenly purchased in the past due to misreading the...

We have all heard of Throwback Thursday. Well, this is the Throwback Thread: We all have seen the pics and selfies of the incredible men and women of God here on CC, but what did you look like when you were a young rascal? Here is your chance to show everyone how you have changed over the years...
