But it all comes down to relationship. My thoughts exactly. There was a time in my life where I felt I had abandoned all faith in the God that I had been brought up to know. Mind you, this was a judgemental one. Unworthiness, mistrust and abandonment were the feelings I most often identified within myself w
Thanks for the article. Interesting stuff. Apparently "emotional intelligence", which seems to be more important from a functional aspect, shows no overall gender difference. eq Link
..and I'm sorry for overreacting too. Best wishes.
That was mean. I wasn't being sarcastic and I wasn't referring to you. I was being supportive of you because of Myrrander's post. You won't see me being supportive in the future. Addiction is not a character defect; it is a disease for which Mathers is getting treatment. There is honor in recovery. A shame that most people, including you and Myrrander, don't see it.
Thanks for including an article about recovery. It might help some other sick addict out there.
You malign my ursine design, then fine, I'll just rhyme.
Wow. Keep writing, I like your style, as well as the message. It sounds, as is true for me, that you are full of gratitude for your life. Very positive!
A grizzly was reading these puns over my shoulder and that bears repeating.
I hope your friend isn't a Trojan. As we "speak", I'm cooking down some huge monsters that we found in our back yard. We try to pick them at the baby stage but some still manage to avoid detection until it's too late. My mother, who's northern Italian taught me to shred them, and cook them with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper combining with grated cheese to taste. The result is a yummy paste.
"Siete molto benvenuti." yes, thanks. You polyglot that
My friend said, "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy." "For me, the effect would be the same," I replied. (mille grazie per questo soggetto)
If existential angst and comedy of the absurd are my only two choices, please, someone give me a lobotomy,.. I'm thinkin' too hard. My personal faith and laughing at my inner sick puppy do come in handy though. Thanks for making me think,...I think.
This is a case for child welfare reporting if ever I saw one. Although technically the situation may not be overtly abusive or neglectful of the three-year-old, the parents are setting up a potentially volatile and dangerous situation. In Canada, child welfare has educational and therapeutic roles as well as the usual legal one. I would pose this theoretical situation to them. Not to further complicate the issue, violence is often learned, although not

not the medium, but the essence Yes, I'd have to agree. Sorry, I can't resist: maybe the "medium is the message" - Marshal McLuhan
As I understand it, you're saying that you need God for strength and direction, and that need is what begets your spirituality, so in essence, your spirituality is the medium you use in order to get strenght and direction from God. Is that right? Yes, and more. Spirituality shows me not only how I am co
I enjoyed your perspective. My own concept of spirituality is that, contrary to religion, it is a personal rather than a shared experience. I see a need for both in my life. My spirituality is the result of my need for direction and strength in my life. In my case I get that strength and direction from God. Prayer and/or meditation seem to be necessary requirements.
