Flower Bed into a Garden 10/20/2006
Some of us can say we have a "green thumb" others
just pay someone else with experience to plant flowers
for us.
We all have the gift to grow friendships and take care of
them.... just like we can a flower pot and a garden.
We have friends that need us just to water them ever so often,
because they are just seasonal, but others need us to trim,
water, and talk to them to get to grow with ...

Friendships 10/20/2006
Friendships are like homes. You must have your foundation
first. Not just slap it and build on it. It takes time to build
lasting friendships. Once you meet someone who has your
interest and you share common ground, then you start to
plan how big the foundation should be. DO NOT jump and change
your likes and pleasures for theirs. A good friendship
is built with HONESTY. Once you know ...

A LITTLE EXTRA 10/19/2006
You never know when that little something extra might
make a big difference in the end. Races are won by
hundredths of a second, and there are countless
opportunities along the way to gain the slight edge
that will make all the difference.
Everyone puts out maximum effort when the finish line
is in sight. Only the true winner knows, however, that
the race is not won at the end, ...

Forgiveness 10/17/2006
One day a while back, a man, his heart heavy with grief, was
walking in the woods. As he thought about his life this day,
he knew many things were not right. He thought about those
who had lied about him back when he had a job.
His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and
cheated him. He remembered family that had passed on. His
mind turned to the illness he had that no ...

Sustaining a relationship and romance 10/9/2006
I think that romantic love can be a wonderful feeling but
can be upsetting if it all goes wrong. Maybe God created
romantic love (which of course is different to the love
we have for our parents and brothers and sisters) to help
a family stay together. Once you have found a loving relationship
with a good person I think its important to work at it for
it to be a success. You can't only ...

Unconditional Love: is there such a thing? 10/1/2006
I was talking with a close friend the other day and we happened
upon the subject of love and whether or not it was an unconditional
thing. From personal experience, I could only give one
answer: there is no such thing as unconditional love.
I gave this answer not only from personal experience but,
also from looking down through the word of God and, looking
at God's example as well ...

Take the time....... 9/21/2006
Building is most than a one-shot deal. Just like a wall is
built in layers, building a relationship takes patience,
time, and commitment. As we all may have experienced at
one time or another, newly romantic relationships are
exciting and fun, and if we're not careful we can be
so involved in the idea of the person, that we miss the person.

MEN AND THEIR FEELINGS 9/6/2006
How we bring boys up has a lot to do with their ability to share
their feelings.
If we bring them up not being allowed to show their feelings
just because they are boys is this right?
Why is it considered to be sissy for a boy to share how they
are really feeling?
Surely boys should be allowed to say if something has upset
them without feeling inadequate or weak.
