Mindblowing Love

Have you ever stop to think of the one man who you can count on in you life. This man loves you when you have added a few pounds, when you are at you grumpiest. He is not going to leave you for a better looking woman. You can be yourself with him; you of course know that the special man of which I speak is none other than Jesus Christ.
Every time I pause to think of how much I have let him down along the way and his continued love of me, I am brought to tears.
Recently I found a new Christian Artist, J Moss, who has some of the most beautiful words to his songs that I have been brought to tears. His songs leaves my heart feeling full of joy, love for my Father in heaven, my friend, my example of love, my Jesus.
I pray that you find this love, if you do not already have it.

Return to Social Graces

The Benevolence of Manners: Recently I had the privilege of reading this book and found it enlightening. It gives a view of where we were at one time in the area of social graces and how we have given it up for what we see today. It's disheartening to see were we were at one time when men went out of their way to be courteous to women as a rule, whether it was tipping their hats to us in passing, opening the doors for us, pulling out our chairs , ... today we can easily find men racing for a seat on the a train or bus ahead of a female. It is so bad now that when a few doors are open for us, we get a heady feeling, and some men knows this which is why they do it, for a while anyways!! But wait a minute, it's not just the men. Ladies we have reduced ourselves to no more than prostitutes and kept women, we should not be putting ourselves in these positions but the sad fact is that at least prostitutes and kept women are getting paid for their time, most of us are with men for kind words and empty promises. We are crying being closed doors, wishing that men would see us in a different light when we ourselves are lowering our standards to be accommodating. Let's take me for example, I am looking to the day when I will be the wife of a special man and yet the men who I am letting into my life are men who are still not sure what they want, and if they do, it is not me, they are interested in dating other people, or do not find me enchanting enough to romance me into marriage. I find myself being accommodating, making excuses thinking that they will come around with time, of course this has not worked so far because I am still single. The Benevolence of Manners: Linda S. Lichter. Hope you get an opportunity to read this book.

The F Word

FORNICATION. Men, God bless you, if in no other area, in this, you rule. You my dear wonderful men have been able to change the minds of many women when it comes to committing Fornication.

As women we have been fighting for equal pay, the right to vote, the opportunity to have the same jobs as men and yet we have not been able to prevent men from talking us into Fornication. Makes one wonder how far we have come, does it not? There was a time when men knew that they needed to put a ring on our finger before tasting our fruit, now we are sometimes even afraid to ask for a commitment in the event that the man will loose interest in us and go else where.

I speak for myself in saying that, it takes two to commit Fornication, but is it not funny how for some silly reason; women are often attaching to the act the possibility of love, commitment and marriage!

A few days ago someone said that men have now keyed into the fact that if they mention to a woman that they are ready to commit, have a family, and settle down, they will have an easier time getting a woman's' attention.

I am sharing my thoughts with you, because the struggle of staying away from Fornication has been a part of my life. I am longing to find that spacial man who will trust that God will give him the skill to make love in the marriage bed with ongoing creativity and for now put away fears that love making may not to good because it was not first "taken for a test drive"

Father send us that man who will find love, passion ...by looking into our eyes when we speak. The man who will be turned on just by visions of our lives of making love; practice will make perfect.

To my sisters, make every decision yours when confronting Fornication, know that giving in will not help you to keep that charming man around if he wants to take others for a ride.

Yes! I am frustrated with this issue.
