Most girls have never brought those thoughts to the surface. They don't know they're down there. So I hope a lot of girls read this.Rob F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17357648663214118282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17908307.post-1153957816125917002006-07-26T18:50:00.000-05:002006-07-26T18:50:00.000-05:00Thank you, Father, for the honor of watching Your ...Thank you, Father, for the honor of watching Your work from this priveleged vantage point. Thank You for this beautiful work, apart from me. Thank You for permitting, no, chosing me to play this part. Your cues are perfectly timed.

I read your comment on my blog and was really touched. I asked for prayer not expecting anything, really, but your prayer was so encouraging. <BR/><BR/>Also, if you want a pen-pal in California, my e-mail is j_holo@sbcglobal.net. Happy blogging. :)J.

This has definitely worked for me so far.<BR/>As a man (not sure if others would agree) I am not convinced that there is only one absolutely perfect partner and if by chance I do not meet that person I will miss the boat entirely. On the contrary, the faith of two people + the Holy Spirit can actually mould their individual selfish and not very fitting natures into one perfect ‘body’. <BR/>I have always believed that so long as you pray and put your thrust in God you will never be disappointed with the choice of your spouse, although, there may be a fair amount of suffering on the way.<BR/>As to Christ likeness it can be deceptive too. When we are in love (I refer here to the initial highly emotional stage of any relationship) it can easily happen that we see in others something that is basically not there. People also almost subconsciously adjust their behaviour to please the other side or to appear the way they want to be seen. On a long run this usually does not work. However, Jesus is the source of our hope and he will not abandon us to our own devices, if only we allow him to penetrate our hearts. Do not fear!<BR/><BR/>Adam.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574827317176326709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17908307.post-1151292734692069482006-06-25T22:32:00.000-05:002006-06-25T22:32:00.000-05:00I think this comment is referring to an earlier ve...I think this comment is referring to an earlier version of this blog. In fact, I know it is because I just posted the revised version a few minutes ago (after this comment was posted). Hopefully, the revision makes clearer the thought I was trying to portray - that it is a lie to assume that those men are the only that exist.kthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988264120650677672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17908307.post-1151276427261260262006-06-25T18:00:00.000-05:002006-06-25T18:00:00.000-05:00wow, powerful. There are men who are, well, do no...wow, powerful. There are men who are, well, do not intend to be the pigs that they are. We are only human after all. In fact some of what you describe is true, there is an overwhelming desire for sex, but that does not give us the right to act out on these urges. Beyond that there is a deep desire for a friend, a life partner. We all have that but most of us are afraid to let that part show, as if we will be less of a man if it does. Don’t give up, but don’t have unrealistic expectations of this guy. Even the Bible heroes except for Christ fell once in a while, help him get back up and be the man God intended him to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
