Well sometimes "dream" jobs don`t turn out to be so dreamy once a person is in them for a number of reasons and sometimes the dreaded job can turn out to be a blessing. But I think in any case a job is better than no job. But please realize a lot of people who have lost jobs are not getting...

Maybe you need to look at the big picture and realize God has a plan for you that may not be within yours or any human`s understanding. No one can definitively tell you why God allowed satan to persecute Job as he did. No one can tell you why an orphan that prays and prays for someone to love...

I couldn`t report someone thinking of suicide under these circumstances. I mean the person may not be technically arrested, but they are are handcuffed, probably searched, and put in solitary confinement in a jail for this 48 hour window which is degrading to humans I think. Then they are...

Dark, now you`re talking! Yes, do send it in again. And if you don`t get a response. Call them. Just keep on and never give up. And yes, do pray tonight and read your Bible! Keep on this path and you will start moving forward.

It is only the end of the story if you make it the end of the story. I have repeated all through this thread that a job does not define if one is a success in life or not. And I back that up with the Bible. As Christians we are preparing and striving for a different kind of life and success...

I don`t listen to her music, but I think she`s the person that lets people pass her around nude and is openly bisexual. In such a case, I don`t think anything that comes out of her music should even be given the time to analyze as a Christian. Her behavior should scream out for Christians to...

I know what it is like to definitely NOT want a dog, but one little stray comes in your life anyway. Almost 9 years ago that happened to my family with coincidentally a part border collie. She turned out to be the greatest blessing in our life but 10 months ago she passed away and I still miss...

Well, at least you are still praying. Yes, life is tough, but we are expected to be content and thankful in all things. Dark, I just saw a news cast of our new veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. These men have seen horrors like none of us can imagine and they are sent back again and again...

Stop telling yourself this. If there is no work around where you live go where there is work. I think someone suggested the Dakotas. Go there. If it doesn`t work out you can return but give it a try. As long as you hold on to God, you are a success. What you have materially in this life...

I don`t think the goal in marriage is to have a good day every day since life throws us all sorts of curve balls that are not always pleasant, but I do think a goal in marriage is to live peacefully with each other every day. In your circumstance, it`s really hard to say what to do because it...

Who are you rzr? I ask that with all due respect, but really I feel confused. Your profile says you are a "nonChristian", but in this post you proclaim "Christ was the son of God" and that He died on the cross and is living today. You also proclaim you are filled with the Holy Spirit. On the...

When I am speaking of "health" in this context, I meant spiritual health which I probably should have said for clarification. And I see where you are coming from, and with your follow up would it be safe for me to say that you are saying to Matthew he must examine his own heart so your response...

My interest in your comment is where this will lead Matthew. So it pertains to him. You experienced violence and he experienced some violence but to a much lesser degree. I would say a slap isn`t as serious as burning a person, but you seem to be suggesting if he protects himself from...

What would you do if she tried to burn you again? or throw a hot cup of coffe on you? or throw the lamp at you?

Whether it were my spouse or anyone else, if someone purposely burned me with a cigarette, I`d shove them away too and not feel the least bit guilty about it. I`d shove partly from reflex I think like if a burning cinder from the fire were to fall on me my first reaction would be to swipe it...

Having someone to stand by you like that is a great testament. That is a great quality in your wife so really there just may be some inbalance in your home that can be repaired. Maybe you just need another technique in the way you stand up when there is an argument. I really recommend looking...

Matthew, I wish I had an answer for you but all I can do is share a little of my own experiences and pray for you. I have dealt with some very difficult people in my life. And the way I handled the situations intially was by trying to do the right "Christian" thing. I prayed for the people. I...

But if you put police and church people on the bridge, it won`t work because the police must take control. The duty of the church person would probably be to alert the police and the police would handle it by arresting & locking up the suicidal person. I would not go on the bridge if I had to...

I agree and as a parent I`m sure I`d be questioning too what I did wrong if one of my children killed themselves. I don`t know if parents can escape such feelings even in cases when they did their best. But for other parents, I really think I would extend a lot of mercy and compassion because...

I think it`s a difficult, delicate line. Some parents may be aware of their child having problems and may be trying to help the child but at some point the child snaps and gives up. Or like the case of my schoolmate, it was a rash decision. The girl is happily in love and goes off to school as...
