I feel like I am caught in a quandary that has pretty much immobilized me and prevented me from moving on with my life.

I have been extremely angry with a person for some hurtful things he said and did shortly after the death of someone important to both of us several years ago. Other people involved in the situation agree that this person was wrong, even cruel. At the time I tried to make amends, but this person's attitude made that impossible. Eventually I stopped communicating with him because I just couldn't deal with him and needed to focus on myself.

However, distancing myself did not bring peace. Instead, I have found myself struggling with a sense of guilt and shame over the collapse of our relationship. I have almost irrational feelings that I should be a better person, that I am the bad person in this situation, that I don't deserve to enjoy life or be happy. Mind you, people who know me would be surprised to hear this as I keep it to myself. I am able to make it through the day at work and enjoy time with friends, but the instant I go through my front door I feel the weight of the world crushing down on me.

Much of the problem is that this person is a narcissist. True reconciliation would be impossible because there is no such thing as a two-way street in his mind. If I were to tell him I forgave him, he would act like he didn't know what I was talking about. After all, he could never admit to himself, let alone anyone else, that he had ever done anything wrong. Likewise, he would never forgive another person because that would mean admitting the other person actually affected him.

Another part of the problem is that this person is getting on in years and is ill. From all reports, his illness has not changed his personality or attitude. If anything, it has made him worse. Nevertheless, I dread thinking about how I would feel if I didn't forgive him before he died.

How do I go about forgiving this person and relieving myself of this burden when, every time I think about it, I become so angry? Is forgiveness a thing of the heart? Or must I tell him I forgive him in order to truly forgive him?

that has been written and re-written so many times by so many people, each with their own opinion, slant and agenda? and why do these people use these words against others, often to condemn and persecute them? I'm talking about the bible of course.

Continue telling me how this is not the way, how graphic images will change no one's minds.

Continue telling me that three simple words could say the same thing as my avatar.

Where is your progress? Abortion is no more illegal today than it was decades ago, if anything you are moving backwards.

Tell me, if your ways are working so well why do more unborn babies die per years now then they did 20 years ago?

I can't tell who I pity more, the liberals who see no harm in the active, cold-blooded murder of millions, or the pro-lifers who lack the conviction to do anything but sit and intellectualize the active, cold-blooded murder of millions.

Would you try to debate Hitler, or Stalin, as they slaughtered millions?

Good day, I'm sure I will be suspended I only hope my act was not in vain.

I am shocked at all the people that dont believe in God...they want "proof". I dont understand what their proof is? How did we get here..one big accident? NO we had a creater that love us. To all the people who dont believe in God..just out of curiosity..how did we get here? who created us? who created the earth and space and everything? It just doesnt make sense..please wake up! Jesus WILL be back. I dont want anyone to go to Hell! I love all people and I want them all to be saved!

I'm about to go to college and my mom is being real strict about how I dress and what I do. I dress like a boy now and she wants me to wear girl clothes. She she does this because she dosen't want people to think I am gay. She says people will not like me if they think I am gay and will tease me. I am gay, but she dosen't know. I don't like her trying to change me but, I feel I have to listen to her because I am still living with her until I go to college. What should I do to get her to stop changing the way I am? Should I tell her that I am gay? I will be going to college with my sister who will tell on me in a second if she found out I was gay.

Many ADHD kids tend to be adrenaline junkies, taking lots of chances. As many would grow, a number of those mis-diagnosed ADHD teen and young adults turn to self-medication (alcohol, cocaine, weed, etc.). That was never for me.

My ADHD tendencies as a teen (and even now as an adult) made me feel a bit hyper-sexual. Having sex with girls (particularly at the age of 12-14) wasn't really available, but I was able to find more than a few boys who were willing to let me jack or suck them off through junior high and high school. Even when I started dating and having sex with girls, guys were all too happy to let me get their balls off when their girlfriends left them frustrated.

Bottom line, are there any others who have experienced or see an ADHD/sexual connection?

I heard at a retreat that the reason why christians dont hunger and thirst for Gods rightouness is because they are filled up by the world.

What are godly ways to hunger and thirst for God, have any of you

Thank you
