Too Young to be called....... in Humor JoeUser Forums

I am at the ripe young age of 44 and the most unbelievable thing has happened: My oldest daughter has had a son . Now you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what this means for me—that’s right, GRANNNNNNDMA! Holy Cow! Not only am I going through a private mid-life-holy-heck but it seems like everyone I know is getting a real charge out of

Reply to How Do You Worship and Why??? in Religion JoeUser Forums

If you can convince people that there's an invisible man living in the sky, you can convince them of anything OK--Who do you worship or what ? And the how do you do it? OR if you were just going to describe what you think worship is how would you JOA

Reply to How Do You Worship and Why??? in Religion JoeUser Forums

Hey I think I"m in the target range How do I worship? I think that I worship best when I'm by myself, singing praises or laments to God about where my soul is at that moment. Usually in the middle of the night when it's dark and I can just enjoy the peacefulness of a quiet house. I spend time singing unrecognizeable songs to my Lord praising Him for all He's done. I also worship Him

Great question. I anxiously read the article and looked forward to reading the comments, except there wern't any. I'm waaaaaay out of the target range, so I thought I'd bump the article back to the front and look for some response. T-man

How Do You Worship and Why??? in Religion JoeUser Forums

I was asked to talk about worship at our Youth Goup next week. It made me think about when I was that age (13-18) and what my thoughts were about God, religion and worship. Frankly, though I think I might have said I believed there was a God, I didn't really have a clue. Thoughts about God and "worhsip" were far from my mind, I was too busy thinking about partying.

Reply to Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut in Life JoeUser Forums

I think I generally agree with what you're saying. It's so easy as more responsibility comes, to loose the point of living, and the joy in living. Not loosing track of why you're here (even while struggling though the quagmire of responsibility at times) but instead living it out IS the secret to happiness. Tractorman

Hey, you deleted my comment, which makes me think you may have misunderstood the question. Perhaps you would rather not answer. I have found that in poetry, if there is something that is missing in terms of context, etc., it is harder to get a read on the poem. My question was an attempt to understand further. Tractorman

Dear Trin I actually realized it had been posted a year ago before I responded. I felt there was probably some reason I had come upon the article and what I said is just as true today as it would have been then. JOA

Reply to Dear----I Hate You. in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Dear Trinitie- You are a very courageous young woman. I know that YOU know it is not the hating that requires courage, it is the loving. It is easy to return love that is given to us, but loving those who behave like enemies, blessing those who curse us, therein lies the difficulty. Keep hanging on. In the dark nights, KNOW that your Heavenly Father and all of your brothers and sisters stand with you. Though we are not there, we can carry you

Reply to Blown off in Blogging JoeUser Forums

dear friend, I can hardly begin to tell you how much I understand your plight. However, because I know the nature of your relationship with your "friend" and I know the relationship of those in your family, I can understand why you feel this way. However, you are not a typical guy, but I will say, guys will be guys. They aren't as involved emotionally as we'd like them to be, your "friend" in specific. While yes there are times where he is very

Reply to So long in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

How do you say to your children that you're proud to see them maturing without making it sound like they are immature? I don't know, but it warms my heart and makes me proud to see you two growing up and facing hard things in life instead of shrinking back. Tman

Where does love go? It goes down the same pit that idealism falls into; the all consuming mouth, lined with decaying strands of hubris. loosing some of your idealism can be hard, but come on Dan, decaying strands of hubris? Tractorman

Reply to What Happened to Serendipity? in Dating JoeUser Forums

Along with all this, I refer to myself as a Christian, for lack of a better term. Where am I going to find an intelligent Christian who sweeps me off my feet (and isn’t initially scared off by the lip ring)? I think this is hilarious, and it occurs to me that not many would understand the nuances of what you mean. It also occurs to me that I may not have let Dan know that you called a week or so ago. Sorry. Tractorm
