know this is not so much an article than a predicament but
I'd value any advice and views.
I am in a commitment (read engaged) to a man whom i believe
loves me (how much I am not sure) and I do love him but we simply
have very different values in ...

This is how cool God is! Last May I went down to West Virginia's
New River, with a group of friends from church (There were
about 80 of us!) we spent an entire Saturday on the River.
It was fun. There were times where we could just drift down
the river in the boat! There were times where we could just
drift down the river IN the river!! And at other times we
could, just get crazy and even ...

The Soul Mate Litmus Test 5/6/2005
One night when I was hanging out with a guy who wanted to date
me and he asked, " What are you looking for in a relationship."
<br>
My answer was this: " A true friend."
He looked a little dumbfounded because he knew I already
had friends and he counted himself among them. So he said,
"
What do mean?"
I told him that I didn't just want a 'boyfriend'.

special someone. Someone who is romantic, caring and compassionate
to God and them. Most women I have spoke to think there are
no such men like that in this world.

they do, could we live a lifetime with them?

It's very easy to break-up than to make-up over a fight
between two lovers. Never break-up over any irrelevant
issues, but instead, wake-up(realize ur faults) and make-up(come

Beauty or Love? 1/31/2005
I guess everyone loves beautiful things, and would do anything
to get and keep it in some cases. But not all beautiful things
last 4 long.
My advice: never love a woman solely because of her beauty.
Instead, always accept the fact that she's beautiful
only because you(man) love her. Also note that alot of women
want to be appreciated and loved like love would love. And
only a pure heart ...

it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love
