I have a couple of friends I hang out with occasionally, a girl and a guy. We've started bowling here recently. Wednesdays are free ladies night.:) What concerns me is I'm feeling a little protective of my female friend. I'm not sure if I need to be. Let me know if I'm being oversensitive. Firstly, the two are close. The guy looks after and protects her, which is endearing. I had a friend like that too, so I don't want to be a hypocrite. But he told us at the last bowling that he thought his wife was going to leave him, that she refused counseling, etc. Another time on instant messaging, he admitted to me that he didn't spend too much time with my friend because she's so good looking. The guy does ministering on the side and is definitely a spiritual guy. But I can't help but worry about my friend. Also, I think we'll be meeting for bowling regularly, & I'm not always so sure how I feel about it. Sometimes, it's nice just us girls. I guess we'll see how it goes. I've kind of been withdrawing from the guy friend lately, and it's probably unjust. Just keeping my reserved distance.

Have you expressed you worry to either one, or talked to them about it?

No. I haven't. I don't want to upset them.

if he is a spiritual guy, and does soem ministry... well, tlaking to him about it might be the exact correct thing for you to do. dopn't be blaming, just go over your feelings, and why you have them.

I agree, communicate, you can't lead someone through a closed door, be the door.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
