Ok, before I get into the meat of this post, if you’re looking for a light way to end the week, try this: Coffee…
You know you’re drinking too much coffee when:
You get a speeding ticket even when you’re parked.
You speed walk in your sleep.
You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.
A Dad in Heaven
I feel as though God is saying to me “you are growing up before Me” and I take that to mean that He is watching over my growth and I certainly will end up the man that He sees I am capable of being. Believing this gives me SUCH a feeling of safety and comfort, to know God is watching and guiding like a Dad.
At my relationship counselor’s advice, I’ve also paused my female friendships. This has been an eye opener experience for me. It’s hard to explain what i have learned, but it’s been interesting.
Go Derek!
(No, he not a relation of Bo Derek.) Anyhoo… in the meantime, Derek (cutfromtherock) is in a 30 day exploration of the bible to harvest lessons on masculinity. It’s interesting that Derek has read Wild at Heart 7 times and yet God has now sent Derek to the bible to find out about manhood. That is exactly what Emily talked about here, that she found the bible is a better source of info on these issues than some books like Wild at Heart.
Great posts
Moving along… please read these excellent posts Lies of Rejection and Suicide and Christianity. Here is a snippet:

Christians opinions are often very strong about suicide and whether someone who commits suicide will go to heaven or hell. I’m not qualified to answer that but here is an article that addresses these issues.

Thanks for linking to the CT article on suicide. It’s a tough issue & one we all (Christians & non-Christians) must face in some way.
So true PistolPete. I have been there and God literally performed a miracle to save me. He said He had a plan for me. Looks like He was right after all! hehehe. God bless you for taking on the tough questions with love and integrity. – Mark.

I am looking forward to reaching 180- the weight I was when I got married- some time next week.
Incredible dude. Well done.
