You're not alone in your struggles, so pray for strength and healing as I will too.

Your situation does sound legitimately distressing Pettyfoozer, so yes, you do have some sympathy and support here. Others have already given good advice, but I'll add this. If you have any friends or family that you could communicate with more often, do so via video chat. While it may be a...

Fair enough Constantin. I've read your comments carefully and watched part of the videos. It's time now to accept that we disagree vehemently on just about everything and thus no further attempts at influncing the other will be productive. I do wish you well in all things and hold no...

Welcome here from another born and raised Buckeye that's since moved on to other states and eventual world travel. Your situation does sound like others here, but I'll give a different Christian perspective beyond the valid suggestions TheRealCallie makes. We all go through life making and...

Your anger towards God is apparent Constantine and a common reaction from some people who have struggled with hard lives. And yet, there are hundreds of millions of poor, starving, imprisoned, disabled, or otherwise hurting individuals that embrace God despite their problems. My best friend is...

As a Christian, I'm certain that my faith significantly affects and strengthens my mental and emotional well being. It's my rock, my foundation for understanding the world, life's purpose, and my means of engaging with it. I can't speak for others, but here's a telling story from a few...

I know there are many that tout the notion of separation of church and state, not understanding the misinterpreted Jefferson source or founding fathers' actual writings on the matter. The irreligious cling to it though, trying in vain to shelter their worldly environment from any sign of the...

Kudos and thanks to Abstanmyous, Butterfly2, CenotaphGirl, Dan27, Finished, Hazed, Okidoke, Rvansun, Sunflowergirl1306, and TheRealCallie for liking many of my posts. In an environment often antagonistic to any Christian perspective, such encouragement is appreciated. May God bless you.

Welcome back Thomas. Perhaps it's a better sign if people don't have to come here, but it's good to know that there's always a place to come where people will listen and share.

I'm going to give you a Christian perspective that you're free to dismiss like most do, but give it a read and consideration if you will. We all have personality traits and flaws that limit our relationships with others. Some of us try to work on them and improve in life, but it's hard to...

I can relate completely Okidoke. In my final working years as retirement approached, I became more sentimental about friendships lost along the way. As a life long single, I had always been good at staying in touch with friends, but their busy lives too often didn't allow it. In other words...

Since posting the article, I have read another article that questions my whole premise. https://www.militarytimes.com/opinion/commentary/2020/01/22/the-real-reason-the-marine-corps-is-disallowing-shields-of-strengths-bible-verse-dog-tags/ I concede that there's a significant difference between...

By easy case, I trust you mean DOD will lose and have to retract their new policy. You know I hope that the U.S. Constitution only yields rights to people, thus dogs don't have a legal right to religious freedom. And to date, I've not read of any dog trying to make such a case. I think I...

I can't find the certain answer for that on-line Okidoke, but having worked for the governement and knowing DOD's extreme nature of administrative control and accountability, I'd expect each handler to be issued official tags for his dog which contains necessary ID information. Whether the...

In this case, it's the ironically mislabeled Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) objecting to canine handling soldiers expressing their Christian faith. It seems that putting Biblical scripture dog tags on their service animals offends MRFF's intention for a godless society. Once...

I've watched two good friends of mine get the prostate cancer diagnosis, follow through with surgery removal, and face the uncertainty afterwards. I can appreciate the distress and worry spent over it, but you needn't be alone in the affair nor give up yet on treatment success. While you're...

You say "I exist without any purpose." Many people do, and then wonder why they struggle so much with life, feeling depressed and hopeless. Although my Christian perspective is usually rejected by people here, I none the less feel compelled to share it when the need arises. So, here's my...

Your situation may feel distressing 1withDarkness, but your philosophical maturity at such a young age is encouraging. The cultural trend these days is to be busy and completely consumed with our daily affairs, leaving little time for thought on one's purpose or meaning in life. A large number...

For those who care, may today be a joyful day of celebrating Easter. And for those that just don't get it but might like to understand what the big fuss is about that warrants the attention of over 2 billion people in the world today, here's a video you can watch privately from home. The Sunday...

I certainly agree with others encouraging you here to pursue a better career path that'll give you more financial security. But until you do, or whether you succeed or not, let me provide a counter Christian perspective to your work situation. All work that serves mankind and helps society is...
