- I was reading Jeremiah 3 today. It's the only time the word divorce shows up in the KJV, and it's God explaining to the Israelites why He divorced them. A few verses later, He says this:Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say,...
- i've been studying this really hard recently. I know different churches have different beliefs, but my church encourages me to look first to the Bible, and then to the church. And if the church disagrees with the Bible, to go with the Bible. So,...
- In 1964, for the world's fair, Walt Disney worked tirelessly on an elaborate audio-animatronic stage show. Called 'The Carousel of Progress,' the story has that it was Walt's favorite attraction he built. It holds the record for oldest stage show...
- The following is a piece I posted in my journal - it's just a bit of my own meditations and philosophising. A lot of symbolism and metaphor - my mind is a fairly abstract place :) But it feels important, I figured I'd share with everyone: I'm...
- Snowfakes drift softly to the ground.Lightly landing, they perch precariously atop each otherAlone, they are ephemeralSo they huddle close together.Holding hands, they rest.They lie back and relaxSurrendering to gravity.The earth cradles them...
- All right, I've been pondering this, and would appreciate some feedback.I have no intention of being a victim. I'm not going to spend the rest of my life moping about the awfulness of past relationships. I'm meeting new people, putting myself out...
- He writes urban fantasy, and I enjoy his writing style and depth - he bounces from jokes and playfulness to deep philosophical concepts quickly and easily. Fantasy is the genre of good vs.evil, of philosophy and of taking arms against a sea of...
- Breathe.We were nearing the end of session, and the therapist mentioned among a list of other factors, the fact that communication had broken . I said 'I really need to point out that when the response to disagreement may include up to threats of...
- Last night, we went grocery shopping for the holiday. We were talking, and having a pretty good conversation. We've been talking about taking the kids to see the new Disney movie Thanksgiving day - she asked if I meant the three up the street as...
- Ok - for those of us who still have to (or choose to) have contact, I wanted to attest to something that has really helped me this week. I forget which of you mentioned it almost in passing once - I'm picturing kevin or ooooo, but I"m by no means...
- I'm feeling the urge to detail some of my faith here. It's only loosely connected to the abuse. This probably isn't even a good forum for this, but I feel I can share things with you all. Please know that while I 100% believe all of this is true,...
- Starting to feel overwhelmed. Quiet apartment, glue is drying on all my projects, knuckles are still banged up...I'm just starting to get back my will to live. I don't want to go to prison. Even if this detective also sees that the case is a...
- Well, she's back in town. Treated me real nice. I did drive out of town to meet with a friend an hour away, and she knew about it. Saw the transaction on our credit card. That unnerved me a bit,/But I told her I've been feeling better. Almost...
- I'm writing this out now while I'm confident (and she's out of town) I don't know how many of these things I'll actually insist on, but at least I'm recognizing they're things I want.If I were to go back home, I would want:Equal control over the...
- My Disney Villain page posted a picture of Ratigan from the Great Mouse Detective, and it got me thinking.Ratigan always bothered me - he was one of the more terrifying villains to me. He was cheerful and happy, brilliant and clever, polite and...
