| Hello Friends! I had a weird experience yesterday. I experienced peace about a situation where I didn't even realize I was upset. A long time ago, a friend hurt me and since then I have been...well I guess the best word for it is bitter. I didn't want to admit that they could be happy and prosper without my presence and influence. For reasons I cannot express, I was drawn to search them out. What I read when I found them was nothing short of eye-opening. They were happy. Life was properous and they were doing what they always wanted. In my head, I began to start the same litany of disbelief and sarcasm when it happened. The Lord spoke to me and challenged me. Why can't they be happy? Why can't they be successful? Why can't they have found where it all works? Why can't they be ok without you? You are ok without them. You have found a better path, why can't they? Dang it! I hate being wrong. I hate knowing that for so long I wished they would fail just so I could justify a desire to trump thier whole life. So for the first time in a long time, I prayed for my friend. I prayed they would be happy and that the Lord would be close to them. And then the peace came. Rushing over me like a wind so strong that it pushes and supports all at the same time. I hope you find encouragement in these words. Good day all!  | | |
| Hello Friends! It is a beautiful day outside!  As much as I love the cold and thrive in front of fires bundled in layers upon layers of blankets and such, I love the budding of spring. There is something about it that makes me feel excited and energized. The sun wakes me up in the morning and I can roll the windows down and take advantage of the sunroof in my car. I feel like driving through a row of budding pear trees down a country lane or go exploring through a small town bazaar.  Aside from all that, I can smell the sweetness of the blooms on the air and the softness of the grass returning. I can feel the sun gain strength but not so much that it overwhelms everything else. I can taste the freshness of the fruit from the trees and bushes in the backyard. All my senses are aware of a new season unlike the coming of any other. I love spring! Goodnight all! P.S. to P.M.- What was your major? Please give a general description of yourself (hair and eye color). | | |
| Good Morning all! I was happily greeted this morning by a thick cover of fog. There is something refreshing about being inside a thick fog, I think. It is like an envelope where you can pretend-if only for a short while- that you are in a serene place. I imagine a quite forest near a lake with birds chirpping and fish splashing. The wind gently brings that morning fresh smell that is completely unique to God's soft waking of the world. And then I go to work-but with a better attitude than I woke with. Speaking of which...Good Day! P.S. to P.M.-Yes, I was dating a guy named Jason. I would prefer for the time being to leave it at that. As for the next question, were you ever around when I dated other DBU boys? | | |
| Hello all!  I am reflecting tonight about the importance of friends. Being an extravert, I sometimes experience a delicate balance between knowing alot of people and being surrounded by strangers. I can make a friend in almost any room, but it is harder for me to keep them and really develop a close knit relationship.  I love being around people but I find more and more a desire to be around people who know me. People who I can be myself with and not worry about what they think. Their opionon is already well shaped and secure beyond the occasional quirky outburst.  I long for the ladies who I can speak my heart to and not be concerned with the niceties of casual conversation. So, because I am so bad at it-here goes...Thanks to you who support me. Thanks to those who bear my bad jokes. Thanks to my friends who love me through all of my moods. To you all-Thanks!! Goodnight All! | | |
| OK, I know it is important to talk about the issues. I am a big fan of theoretical but at some point a person have to start talking in 'what ifs'. The next election is still a long time away, but I am already sick of hearing what other people would have done if they were president. Again, that is fine for a little bit, but that has to be followed up with what is to be done now.  What do I care what they would have done? Why should I be bombarded with statement after statement of simply "bringing the soldiers home". I by no means claim to be a political or world politics expert, but I don't think it would be as simple as saying, "Come home." So, if it isn't that easy-what then? Do we slowly bring troops back? Do we deploy even more to try and overwhelm the insurgents? Do we slowly back away to let the nationals run the country?  Basically, I'm looking for a plan that makes enough sense to me that I understand the basic questions of where, who, when, why, and how. I will be very impressed when (and if) the candidates for the next Presidential election start focusing on what they can change instead of the past.  In the meantime, Good night all! P.S. to P.M.- Questions #2 Were you older, younger, or the same age as me? | | |
