Wow good jobs on your 100 percent marks. That would be a great confidence boost for you. Actually, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that I have to resort to this to get a decent grade It's quite difficult to convincingly present an argument that we don't personally believe. You deserve that grade. I don't ask my pupils to conform to a set belief (which would gall me too) but I do make them write against their own standpoints occasionally to improve and prove their skill and technique. Do you think any of the older people at church would set you up on dates or would that be inviting a world of trouble?!
What would you do if you were not afraid?

I don't think I would like that idea.

My dad's advice on blind dates was to meet somewhere with a back door!

And don't go out with women with the idea to find a steady gf.
Go out to have fun and to mingle in life.
If you find someone you like romantically and they also like you.......extra points for the date.

Well, Jedi I was very pleased with the caliber of people on ChristianMingle. They allowed preference settings to narrow the pool to likely matches based on the practice of your faith. I found the choices to be of pretty high quality, and as you have noticed, one choice in particular is standing out at the moment!
I was on it for less than a day after my picture posted before several seemingly sincere Christian men reached out. While I didn't peruse the females in any depth (other than a quick glance to estimate my competition, lol), hopefully they are of similar depth as the men.

Are you living in a covenant with death? With bitterness in your marriage? Read Isaiah 28. The bed will not be long enough or the covers wide enough for you to ever find comfort in that life. In Isaiah 28, God tells you to take a stick and beat these conditions out of your life.
Isaiah 28:29 "This [command] also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working."

Jedi - I've been reading in your thread and have read other posts you've made and I'm just curious about a few things, if you don't mind.
1.) What denomination of Christian are you? Are you Catholic?
2.) How long ago was your divorce?

I was very pleased with the caliber of people on ChristianMingle. A (seemingly) sweet cute guy that I was supposed to go on a date on had a profile on Christian Mingle...and a nasty sex site. Take that for whatever it's worth.

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

It was expensive..$50 for tickets and popcorn.
But it's great to see in the theatre!
They enjoyed it immensely.

Prices are ridiculous in Australia too. I don't get out of it for less than 50 dollars either and that's with only one child. Usually I buy cheap snacks at the supermarket and stash them in my bag it's a little cheaper.
