Jesus said that he desired mercy and not sacrifice meaning God is more interested in your tolerance and compassion and mercy, than He is with your sacrifice and social performance and moral correctness. I remember in my...

I don't know why I still love you - all I know is that I do, not at all as strong as I used to, but you were with me for three years and somehow I cannot quite manage to cut you out of my life. It's my boyfriend who told...

I've been with my boyfriend for some months now and quite frankly, it's been good. Recently though, I realised that we have gotten closer to one another intimately too. We haven't had sex for religious reasons, so this...

I remember hearing a story on tv by a bi racial woman discussing her childhood, and it was a sad story indeed. Her father was black during a time where black and white racism was rampant and he married her white mother...

A few days ago, I discovered an incredible Christian philosopher and motivational teacher named Alan Watts. While originally, I wanted to write my own book, I concluded that Alan Watts had said everything I had meant to...

On Saturday I read a 365 page book and what made it hard was the book was written 100 - 200 years ago and used a lot of old English terms not commonly used in modern conversation so I had to make around 1-3 trips to the...

I had a dream years ago, in my dream God told me “You don’t respect me, that is why there is so much darkness in your life.” I asked God what respecting Him looks like and He said “It means focusing on the lowly and...

I'm 2 years away from kicking in the door of 40, and I'd like to think in my 38 years of life on this planet, that I have plenty of common sense to realize that for instance, eating a Tide Pod meant to chemically clean my...

There was a psychiatrist who said that 80% of obese woman were raped by male adults when they were children. This is why I say that for the average obese person that is not fat due to medical causes, their obesity is...

People think money and the ability to buy things like chocolate ice cream or designer bags or vacation souvenirs will bring them happiness, that if they are swimming in spas and drinking martinis everyday they will be...

So Jesus said a good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bears bad fruit. The tree is a symbol for faith. Some people put their faith in love and Justice and some people put their faith in material or social dominance....

I learned this from a co worker: An extremely good looking married man wanted to buy a card and a gift for a morbidly obese and sick unmarried co worker when the overweight cow worker was sick at the doctor’s one day and...

When I first became a Christian, I made the same mistake many religious people make, I thought the kingdom of God was a hierarchy and social system of descending respect and devotion based on your spiritual social status...

So I wanted to come on here and post a myTake on dating with a disability. Hear me out! Last night I came across a question on GaG asking if anyone would date someone with autism. So I put in my opinion and then I looked...

I had a dream one time, a very inconsiderate guy was walking around with a woman who looked like me, except she was far more beautiful than me, far more intelligent and far richer. I asked the very inconsiderate guy if he...

One of the reasons I am active on this site everyday is because it is a private domain for me to secretly socialize and converse. I have a very good reputation at church and with my high school friends and co workers and...

I have a male friend who I’ve been friends with for over 2 years. We started out dating, but things did not work out because of the trauma from his last relationship. We parted as friends. Probably not the best idea...we...
