troubled and saddened
It seems that at least one visitor to my blog has entirely misinterpreted my friendship with s, which has led me to create this post. S and I are friends. Friends with a capital "F". Friends. We have never, ever, ever done anything that could be interpreted as physically inappropriate. He is just about the best friend I have ever had, but we are just that. We are friends, and nothing more.
To those who come to my blog with pure intentions...
I will be giving him an ultimatum because S and I are far to emotionally intimate. We have (or at least, he has) all of the comfort and security of a committed relationship, with none of the commitment or responsibility. I refuse to be put in a holding pattern of complacency.

Meaning what?
And this "pure intentions" stuff... my biological parents were considered the purest role models in the youth group... but behind the scenes, guess what?
If you and Steve are not physically involved, you have won half the battle. Give him this clandestine ultimatum you speak of, and if he doesn't accept... my old advice stands as is, girlfriend.

Just because 95% of the church votes that your parents are/were pure does not make them pure, Dan. The only one who knows our purity is the Lord alone. A person's morality is not determined by popular opinion.
And, much as I appreciate your advice, I will refuse it. Your advice was given out of cruelty. My actions are chosen out of prayer. I will only do what I do because the Lord has given me the freedom to do it.
By the way, Dan, if you think that I think all Christians are perfect, you're fooling yourself. I'm a hypocrite and I know it. I'm growing every day in the Lord. I'm a student of His Word. But this side of Glory, I will never be perfect.

Hi Tidy :-) Long time not CHAT.
Travis was telling me today about all these hateful comments Dan and others on his site were saying regarding one particular comment he posted (its under the post w/ the Jesus polital poster.)
I cant believe HOW blind people can be... It really does make me that much more grateful for the way God opened my eyes to my sin... Its hard to believe I could be living a life just as empty as theirs had he not saved me...
They do have family... friends..etc..etc... things in their life that might be "filling them up" now... but that doesnt last...
One day we will leave all that behind... I'm so thankful I am secure and know where I'm headed.
We lost a man in our church today. He died at noon... we know he is in heaven today though :-) Makes those funerals much easier...

Drea, isn't it unreal? Real but surreal all at the same time.
Sometimes what is hard for me to believe is who I used to be. And that I used to be blind and empty. Maybe it's just because I don't want to believe it! I've made some mistakes that I'm very ashamed of today. And I used to really, really hate people who called themselves Christians. Today I am so thankful that God didn't give up on me!
I'm so sorry to hear about the man in your church. But I'm joyful too. Almost envious - he's lucky, he's made it to Jesus' side! My grandma died last summer and it was the same way. She was one of the strongest believers I knew, and though we were all sad at her passing, she had been sick and we are all joyful to know she is with Jesus now.

Go ahead and judge me as empty and blind to your heart's content. It's like people who watch Springer to feel better about themselves. Drea, YOU and Travis are the ones who are blind. You blast off your judgmental, self righteous BS and are shocked when people respond, by calling them "hateful." Yet, you pretend that every action of yours is excused.... you are pathetic.
TB, when you're 30, alone, sagging, and your bio clock has shut down, you'll remember my advice. So, really... if that means you won't procreate, please, refuse my advice.

Dan,
I think you will find that neither Drea, Travis, or myself are "shocked" by what you say. I think a better word for how we feel would be "saddened" and "reminded of what the world thinks of us".
Procreation is a gift from God. So if that's something God blesses me with, then that's fantastic, but if not, that's okay too. I'm not afraid of "sagging" or a biological clock that has "shut down", because my body is just a shell. Who cares if I'm the ugliest person on the face of the earth? God still loves me, and that's all that really matters! And I know that I will never, ever, never, never, NEVER be alone. I take so much joy in knowing that I will never be alone! This is what God means to me. It means I will always be loved!

TB,
I was wondering how long it would take to turn what I say into "what the world thinks of you." You think that your faith in God makes me think of you as a cretin? Hardly...
Maybe you should look at some of the ignorant remarks you've made, or the exclusive, hateful comments about people who don't share your boring sexual orientation--- do you have a sexual orientation, btw, or is sex itself just too filthy?
