Unlike man, plants (think sandal wood) have extremely pleasant odours. A rose or a carnation never stinks, despite the fact that it grows in soil and remains in an environment of dust and dirt. However, man can hardly achieve such a permanent fragrance, no matter how much he cares for his body.
Have you ever thought why Man is created with so many weaknesses? Why God created flowers with beautiful fragrances but made the human body prone to produce an unpleasant scent?
The weaknesses of Man are not limited to body odours: he gets tired and hungry, feels weak, gets injured, becomes nauseated, sick...

Granted she has a pretty horrible past and probably should never have been allowed to make a plea bargain and be on the streets in the first place.

I'm in college now, but when I was in high school, I fell in love with a guy in my class. I made it pretty obvious how I felt about him, even though not many people thought he was attractive. He was nice to me, but never asked me out. Recently he came out as gay, and I am completely mortified that I threw myself at him like that. Not because I'm ashamed that I liked him (he's witty, smart, and creative) but because I know I must have gotten on his nerves so badly with my blatant crush. We're not in touch, so I can't discuss this with him. Have any of you had a straight girl get a heavy crush on you and how did you feel about it?

God give me simple moments as these

That reach my soul and give it ease.

A smile, a touch, a friendly cheer

These lift me up from sheer despair

I find your love in the oddest ways

Darkest nights the difficult days.

Life comes as simple daily things

The flower that blooms the birds that sings.

May I never close my eyes

Let me not think myself too wise.

Thank you God for simple joys

Like the love I have for my boys

My boyfriend and I desperately want to get our relationship right as we both want to get married but not while our relatinship is the way it is - it's not awful! But not great, like it could be - we've not grown much spiritually in two years (I have more than him I think) but he's not that happy in himself - he's slightly overweight (not loads but teeny bit tubby which I love!) He drinks more than he should, he smoked but he's now on a diet and we're heading down a brand new pathway! What can I do to encourage him more & release him more?? He's been asked to go to Egypt for a week in Sept on a conference re addictions - our pastors now asked him to head up an addictions group!!! Yay! So proud & happy for him! Anyway, I desperately want to get closer to God at this time too but I find it hard with the Bible - I mean, where do I start, you know? I tend to read snippets then think that's enough for the day, so my reading's all over the place!

Any advice would be much appreciated! Thx!

I have noticed that young drivers today either have never been told the meaning of a stream of cars all driving in a row, with there head lights on, or else they find it amusing to cut into a funeral procession and cause havok. What has happened to the days where people would pull over out of respect for a hearse? how come so many young people completely ignore funeral processions or cut into funeral processions? how many people find this really disrespectful and annoying?

It's not an opinion or a dig at anyone who does it. I am just curious as to why some do and why some dont? I dont have digital camera but if I did, I dont know if I would (and i think i'm a bit of alright). It's brave. Do any of you wish to attract an admirer? Would more of you do it if you knew how? and why would or wouldn't you?

Can't you understand that I'm invisible? No one here believes me! I cannot repeat some of the hurtful, incensitive comments I have received concerning my unique condition. Why can't you be more open minded?

disagree with them? Most of you are always preaching about loving everyone no matter what. So it's funny how the minute that someone disagrees with you, you turn into raving lunatics who spew hate everywhere. Really, people practice what you preach and don't be hypocrites.

Life is a journey,
We travel differnent roads
but who can say That in the end
They do not converge.
I have found friends
Among many unlikely places
Each is different and unique
And each brings something special
Into my life with the meeting.
I can only hopeThat I have touched their lives
In some small way
The same as they have touched mine.

I have been getting really fed up with homosexual lately. The odd thing is I have pretty many homosexual friends that I have known for a while. However in last few years, I met a few homosexual guys and become friend.

However I stop hang out with them or talk with them because they either try to get me to try homosexual stuff, try to tell me that being with a man is no different from being with a woman, ask me stupid question such as if I want them to undress or if I want to measure their dick eventhought they know I'm straight, and other things.

I asked few of homosexual friends who I'm still friend with (I know most of them for 5 years or more) about this. None of them really understand a such behave and ask me if I make it clear to them I'm straight.

However that doesn't stop people from thinking I'm a homophobic. I have at least 5 very good friends who are homosexual that I never had any problem with. I use to have a homosexual roommate and never have any problem.
