I own a few pair of heels, and once in a while I'll want to wear them with an outfit that they match really well, but I can never seem to get out the door in them because I just feel very pretentious in heels. What sorts of things do you find pretentious pertaining to yourself or to others...

And now for the most trivial of all forum posts... I'm thinking about cutting my hair. I'm pushing 40 and wondering if I shouldn't tone it down a bit. :rolleyes: Also, sometimes long hair looks kinda scraggly, and I'd hate to be that one weird woman with unkempt hippie hair. For...

This visual represents levels of emotional intimacy that people have with others (specifically opposite-sex) via conversation. I found it very interesting because I know some people who will jump right into the center without delay, and others who never seem to get past the first ring with...

So, I have a lot of trouble relaxing around people. There are theories for this. Gypsy would say that it is because I'm an extrovert and I'm so in-tune with other people. I myself would have said that it was because I'm an introvert and being in the midst of people is not my "comfort zone"...

So much has been said in the last week about "true Christians" that I think we would benefit from really stopping and considering what this means. Common statements here and elsewhere seem to be: "A true Christian would never do that." "This person must not really be a Christian." "That is not...

I mentioned in another thread that I'd read a survey revealing that 3 out of 4 men would rather feel unloved and alone than feel disrespected and inadequate. Most of us probably already knew that a woman's top need in a relationship is to feel loved, while a man's top need is to feel respected...

This article is SATIRE, however... it hits a little close to home if you ask me. What are your thoughts on the Church's new habit of calling everyday activities that all Christians are called to do "ministries"? Are there good things about doing this? Can you think of examples of regular...

. I see a lot of memes, quotes and catchphrases on Facebook and other social media that just have me shaking my head. For instance... this one that someone I know posted today: This is a terrible idea. (People I know who have followed their heart against all the warnings of their brain...

So... this deserves a serious discussion. Because I'm honestly wondering how many of us would amputate a limb for money. Please feel free to provide background on why. (Grew up in poverty, would use it to better the world, need it to purchase a lifesaving organ from someone else who grew up...

Are there any things that you enjoyed before, but gave up when you became a Christian? (Certain TV shows, movies, habits, hangouts?) What specifically did you give up, if you don't mind sharing? Why did you feel that it was no longer acceptable? Did you know it was wrong before, or did it...

In this fallen world, we are always continually healing from hurts of the past, in all stages of our lives. Except when we aren't healing at all. When we are at a total stand-still. I am becoming more and more concerned about a friend that I have who went through a very similar experience as...

This thread is for singles to lament the high cost of dating, and talk about ways to have a date without paying an arm and a leg. What to do. What not to do. Ready set goooooo.

Thought a few of these might be fun. You know how, when you visit your own profile page, there are nine random friends featured to the left with their avatars in your "friends" section? Use those 9 friends to fill out the list below, in the order they appear in your profile. You wake up in...

. In talking about cultural Christians vs faith filled believing Christians, it was brought up that often people have a preconceived idea of what a Christian looks like, and therefore many solid, mature, believing Christians are considered to be unbelievers, or baby Christians, or backsliding...

. Reading about statistics on another thread has made me do some more thinking about cultural Christianity and how it might be helping or harming Christianity as a whole. Many people - as many as 74% of Americans (not sure about other nations) - claim Christianity as "their religion"...

I tend to get along with nearly everyone, even those many others find difficult, but there are a few people that I just really have trouble relating to or finding compassion for, and that bothers me. I know I can do better. But honestly, sometimes I want to just give up. Sadly, these are the...

"Touch" (affection) is one of the five popular "love language" categories that people need in varying amounts. Some people are very affectionate and need lots of human touch, while others don't need much at all. But I think most will agree that human touch is very important, which can be...

The typical stereotype of a "bad boy" seems to be someone all tatted up, riding a Harley and breaking laws. However, MY idea of a "bad boy" has, in recent years, become more like someone with a rebellious streak who spurns authority and doesn't care what anyone thinks about them. This has...

This is a training exercise to help us all discipline ourselves to think more positively about life. For each seemingly-negative circumstance that we find ourselves in, let us list it here. And next to it, let's think about (and talk about) ways that God could be using it for our benefit...
