I Believe the Bible Is the Inspired Word of God

PINNED

If its in the Bible, it's because God put it there for us to know. The Bible is the true word of God and none of it can be excluded. As a result, I am a Christian who tries to compare situations I encounter to what I read in scripture and allow...

I Am Christian

PINNED

I was not raised with any religious training, other than bedtime prayers even though I had been baptised in the Roman Catholic church. My parents were not at all religious though in their frequent arguments they often called on God and Jesus, but not...

I Am Attracted to Intelligent Women

PINNED

It's all about intelligence. Looks are fine, but what is better is smarts, and better than that is wit. Those with smarts will know what wit is; those who don't probably settle for looks. Attitude is something else. Good attitude goes a long way...

I Love Afternoon Naps

One of my great pleasures of my retiremen is being able to take a nap either late in the morning or in mid-afternoon depending upon my schedule. I just don't have the energy I once had and some days need that recharging.

I Enjoy Watching Waves Crash Onto the Beach

There is just something about waves crashingvon the shore that is attractive to most people. I don't know why. It's not just the sound, which, of course is sort of peaceful. That is one part of it, but there is something about the endless waves...

I Like to Do Volunteer Work

I really enjoy tutoring Reading and English, especially for folks who have English as their second language. I have two students, brothers, who have come to the US from Iran. Although they have little English, it's surprising how well they pick it...

I Love My Wife

My current wife and I have been married for only 3 years. She is wonderful, exactly the woman that God wanted for me. I love her very much and I know she loves me too. We're not perfect but we put each other first in the marriage instead of being...

I Go to Church Every Sunday

I only miss church on Sunday if I am traveling, which might only be twice a year. Church attendance is very important because it's the time when the collective body worships God as one. We also have an opportunity to fellowship with fellow Christians...

I Am Married

I've been married twice, to a wonderful woman each time. My late wife and I were married for just a couple months short of 40 years before she succumbed to the effects of diabetes. My current wife and I have only 3 years together. My current and late...

I Love My Wife

My late wife played a part in my conversion from atheist to Christian. God put the two of us together even though I was a miserable atheistic troubled jerk. Yes, God DOES yoke folks unequally when he wants to change them. In spite of my aloof and...

I Like People With a Sense of Humour

OK, I guess I should really say that I ONLY like people with a sense of humor. All other folks I can deal with, be compassionate toward, help, and be kind to, but I won't really like them because they don't get humor. Humor is very important. Not THE...

I Am Attracted to Intelligent Women

They're using a picture of Tina Fey for this group. In my opinion, she is the hottest woman around. She is good looking, but more than that she is extremely clever and bright, and that is a big turn-on for me. The way my first wife used to love to...

I Like Spicy Food

It's difficult in my household. I do the cooking because I am a much better cook than my wife. She likes bland things and only likes certain vegetables. There are other vegetables that seem to cause her gut problems. I, on the other hand, love...

I Volunteer In My Community

I deliver for Meals On Wheels a few days a month (They have enough people so that most only deliver once a month.), I tutor people in Reading, English and Math just a couple hours per week, and I serve a few hours a month at a Lending Center (lending...

I Believe That Words Are Powerful

Words carry enormous power. Don't believe that old saw, "Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me." That's bushwah! Words do much more damage than sticks and stones. Words can break up friendships, lead to divorce, instigate...

I Like Old Fashioned Things

Here's an old steam tractor that's been restored.

I Like Old Fashioned Things

I love old mechanical equipment. I'm a mechanical engineer and I love equipment in the first place, but old equipment, old cars, farm equipment, carriages, engines, tools, and so forth are very interesting to me. I think its fascinating to see how...

I Love the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

So many love that Jesus is their Savior, and rightly so. He has put us right with God through his atoning sacrifice in taking all our sin upon himself. But how many consider what it means for Jesus to be their Lord? Lord is not a common everyday term...

I Need to Be Intellectually Stimulated

One of the things I really dislike about being retired is how mindnumingly boring it is not to have the intellectual challenges I used to have when I was an engineer and scientist. I worked in a highly technical filed and I loved solving problems...

I Don't Do Drugs

Well, as long as you don't count caffeine or alcohol. I never thought it was a good idea to put chemicals into my body that would cause hallucinations and never felt the need to get high. I never enjoyed being drunk, though I managed to get that way...

I Was Bullied

Yeah, I was a weany as a kid. I was afraid of lots of things, especially older boys since they were taller, stronger, and often aggressive, especially at the ages of 13 to 15. I rode a school bus from 6th grade until I got a car in 11th grade and...

I Love Falling Asleep To The Sound Of Rain

I actually love rain. When I was much younger, I enjoyed going for walks in it wearing raingear because very few people were out in it. If you're walking through a city park on a sunny day, you might run into a lot of people and hear lots of noise,...

I Can Be Friends With People Totally Different From Me

Yes. I have no problem being friends with folks who are different from me. We might not have the same lifestyle, maybe our beliefs are not the same, but we are all made in the image of God and have the same value and worth. So while I might not like...

I Perform Random Acts Of Kindness

A few weeks ago I stopped into a local restaurant to order some takeout for our dinner. I ordered at the bar and had a Guiness while I waited. The bar is shaped like three sides of a square and there was a wide pillar near one of the corners, so I...

I Love Good Beer

The emphasis has to be on the word GOOD. I know it's subjective, but there are plenty of beers being consumed that are just swill in my opinion, and folks seem to love them. Take all those Lite beers... taste a lot like they ran water through an...
