pebbles1964 60 F 57  questions	Does being physically ill make us more lonely? - 2/22/2005 I had the stomach flu last week. I think with feeling the vulnerability of being on my own as a single person and not having anyone there to "nurture" me, AND being forced to rest and having a break in my routine, I was forced to get in touch with some of my sadness/lonliness. <br> I know that I only need to go to the Lord in prayer and ask him to fill the void. I know that ... 3 response(s), 1 vote
pebbles1964 60 F 57  questions	Anger vs. other feelings - 2/22/2005 I have learned over the years to get in touch with feelings as they come. Yet, an old habit that I've had in the past is to get angry first and feel the feelings second. Although this has improved, I can still see that many times it takes feelings of irritability or anger to make me realize that I'm actually feeling somthing deeper, like sadness, lonliness, guilt, or that I'm possibly ... 7 response(s), 7 votes

pebbles1964 60 F 57  questions	What is your favorite all time movie - 2/21/2005 Two come to mind for me. One is Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump was simple, yet completely unconditional in his love for others. I love the scene where they are on the shrimp boat and haven't had any luck. One of the characters is expressing his rage at God, not only due to no shrimp, but due to what he considers "bad breaks" in life. What does God do in return----but fill their boat to the ... 5 response(s), 1 vote
Randombird 50 F 162  questions	Is it wrong? - 2/21/2005 Is it wrong if in your heart you ideal man is someone called into some kind of leadership? I've felt this for a long time. I don't know why, except there is something very attractive about a man who is prepared to stand in the gap for God through good and bad.

Randombird 50 F 162  questions	Being single - 2/10/2005 Why can being single be such hard work? Do you think it's because within us is that God-made desire for a spouse, or pressure from Society, or...both?!
