Topic: Get your reading glasses out....
QUOTE:
What consitutes a REAL friend anyway?! Just recently I lost a couple friends as a result of what I believe to be Selfishness. For starters my son Travis needs a little extra help because of some delays in speech and comprehension but is undiagnosed at this point. I am raising him on my own with the help of my mother and really I don't know where I would be without her. I am kind of going through a lot lately with the market being crappy my success at work has been limited which means financially I have been struggling and I lost the guy I thought I would spend forever with. Accepting these two things and trying to move forward has been somewhat trying but I am making my peace with it and getting back to my walk with the Lord as I know he is the only one that can rebuild me to who I need to be 100%. Getting to the point though…. I was told that I am selfish. This is one of the first times I have ever been told this because if you know me you know that I give to the point of not having anything left for myself. My friends are a married couple with no children and are more than financially grounded. They can come and go as they please and do whatever they want without regard to anyone or anything. They are living the life! And apparently because I am unable to do the same at the drop of a hat that makes me selfish! Because I can't just tell mom hey I am taking off watch the kid see ya, I am selfish! Because I am completely drained with the direction my life has taken me and have nothing left to give to anyone, I am selfish. Because I am not in a place to care for and about anyone or anything other than my son, my job, my financial status, my relationship with the God etc. Although, any reserves I have go directly to my child because HE is who I am responsible to give love, support, and care to. I AM SELFISH! Well Sh*t that makes me a great friend to have right?! Sorry to those who don't have the ability to see past the tips of their own noses! What I have just described here is called LIFE and I am HUMAN! Doing all that I know how to do.... Then keep being selfish as they put it and doing whats right in taking care of youu and your son. In the end who is the one really going to take care of you? No one, but you. So you do what you have to do to live... |

Shadow (OP) please let me know if you feel I am hijacking your thread ![]() Here's another question, what exactly do you feel after someone prays for you? My honest opinion alot of the time is why? See, it hasent changed my feelings eitherway. Then going back to the way question. I have to look at it as there doing it not because they have to, but it's something i have to look at, as it is somthing in them that makes them feel good that they might be helping somone in some way. I can't say it makes me feel good, but i know it don't make me feel bad lol. I just say to them thank you. |

And if you took this thread as criticizing. I think you would be the only one that closed your mind to what i was sharing because no one else seen that but you. JMO That is a VERY positive thought. And quite assuming. This is why i ask people to please read before you reply and to send an email if you had any questions that might of botherd you. Simple request and nothing wrong in doing so so it's not on the threads. Everyone has there day and there is nothing wrong in expressing what someone might be thinking as long as your not trying to attact or push your opinion on somone. So there for. this will be my last post to you. if you want to chat. SEND BY EMAIL? |

Topic: I have to get this out....
QUOTE:
Well this question comes up more then most realize it not only on the threads but.. I have also gotten e-mails concerning all the prayer threads. I do understand ones that question the threads but also understand why they are posted. The ones I don't understand is asking for prayers when it comes to money or jobs ect.. Those things that are considered material things. Well wishes yeah I can see that for those things I wish all could have what they want. But when I post to a prayer thread at that time I say a small prayer to wish them to get well or good news on test results at that time. I do understand that many do not like to see these post in General as well and I do understand that. That is the reason I have asked for a Prayer & Well Wishes Forum in order to have a place for all these threads since we do have many of them they do need a forum of there own. Not saying they will make a Forum for them but it has been requested. ![]() But in the long run if it brings a smile to their face just the thought that someone does care enough to respond then so be it. Let them have that smile one never knows what they are going through. Just for thought...... there is a lady on a game site I play on she has been battling Cancer for several years now. She keeps all her friends updated and of course she ask for prayers to heal her. Yep I'm on that list and do send them. If my simple prayer helps her fight the battle whom am I to deny such a small request? I understand what your saying ![]() |

Shadow.... you say you are a positive person. Ever wonder if that is really true when about once a month you post a thread criticizing the other threads members post? I mean you don't just comment about it within that thread, you start a whole separate thread in a very subtle way belittling others. I don't see that as positive. lilith401, have nothing wrong in you sharing your opinion ![]() We all go through things in life and not even you can say you positive 24-7 and if anyone does there full of it. Just a fact of life. We see things different alot of the times then others will. And if you took this thread as criticizing. I think you would be the only one that closed your mind to what i was sharing because no one else seen that but you. JMO |

Topic: I have to get this out....
QUOTE:
Shadow, the way I see it, there are some people who believe that prayer helps, and they are trying to use that power to help someone who needs that help. While I personally do not believe it accomplishes anything (other than to serve as a sort of a panacea-comfort), the truth is that I don't actually know anything either way on the subject. Maybe there is a God and maybe there isn't. Maybe He answers prayers and maybe He doesn't. I don't know. I don't believe it myself, because I have never seen anything to indicate that this is the case -- but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I generally avoid the "Please pray for...." threads, if they are asking strictly for prayers, because I cannot contribute anything to them without being internally inconsistent and hypocritical. For me to pray for someone would constitute an act no different, in my mind, from performing a voodoo ritual or a magic spell or looking for answers in a horoscope. On the other hand, I have no issue with contributing positive thoughts and wishes, if the poster requests such. This is something I can do with heartfelt sincerity, and hopes for the best possible outcome. Thanks Lex, I generally look at things on a positive out look. There is nothing wrong in being positive and sharing that with anyone. It works better for some then others. I'm not sure what i believe in at this point,but what i think is, that there is something more out there then anyone of us will ever know. One thing i do know, is i would never try to change anyones opinion on what they believe in. The thing i'm stuck on, is why is this something i'm wondering about, why is it when i see a thread like that and knowing it's posted alot like alot of threads are that lately it's been on my mind. Who knows, maybe latter down the line somthing will come out of it. |

Just asking not judging, how many of you that reply to these prayer request threads actually take the time and pray for 'such and such'? how many just say you do to provide the requestor with the feeling of relief? That is a good question. I offten wonder myself on that. |

Topic: I have to get this out....
PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU REPLY PLEASE. I'm just sharing here ok so have a open mind if you would please, and ill be as gentle as i can
![]() something that has been on my mind reading some of theses post. The ones that have to deal with prayers for people that are in need. They'er has been all kinds whether it's for people that have family in the hospital, or in the military etc. I offten see alot of the same post that come up alot and i don't reply to them, but alot of the time i think, What would i really have to say and does it really mean anything to me at all. Is it that i don't care or is it that I think what are we or more so, what would "i" really get out of it. Then i start to think a little bit. Are these threads something that do go a little to far as asking goes, for help in somthing we really dont have control over. I'm just thinking here and i Mean no harm to anyone what so ever. It's not my attention at all. I wonder why we stress on somthing so much as i am doing now. To be honest here, part of me is kinda tired of seeing threads like this. I know that might seem rough to some, but is how i feel at this point. I think mostly about the military threads and in my opinion, i think we stick are nose in places where we don't belong and it's a wast of time being in places where we don't belong and for me to say a prayer for some people that have no right to be where they at and doing what there told to do. I have no feeling for it what so ever and find it a wast of time to pray for what i believe is wrong in what they are doing. "JMO" not trying to push anything on anyone. But when i see people asking for a prayer, what are you really asking for? and does anyone feel this way at all? I hope i didn't offend anyone and if i did, i appologize. just know it's just me sharing and nothing more. please don't share it on here if i did offend you. Send me an "email" and id be more willing to listen to what you might have to say.

Topic: If things went are way alot of....
QUOTE:
Well, the only thing I know is that going through the crap in life is a big part of what's made me who I am. It's made me stop and really think about who I am, what's important to me, what I want, what I need and what's completely extraneous to my happiness (which is most things). For a long time, life was pretty much on an even keel and I didn't put any thought into anything. Then I got whammied. Weird to say, it's the best thing that ever happened to me and if I could go back and change it, I doubt I would. I like who I've become and I wouldn't be here without that. ![]() I agree on going through the things in are past does make who we are today, and that can go either way with some people, but even though going through things in life that i don't like. I chose not to go backwards, ill B at times and want to fight it, but i know that i have to just move on if i want to grow. Some times it's just hearing it from somone even though i might know already, it's that reminder that i need once in a while.... |

Topic: If things went are way alot of....
The time, would we really be happy or would that just be being set up for a bigger fall?
I know we all go through BS in life and at times it seems when somthing happens that were not going to get through it, but what i'm looking at is, in some situations we go through and get through it, we seem to appreciate it more so then we have in the past Right? But if your getting what you want alot of the time, does that appreciation that we should have actually there? Or do we have to go through **** in life just to get to that point. One more thing, do you think you appricate things more today then you have in the past? Ok, hope i made sence and if not, just ask lol
