How does one resign from membership at a local church? Is a letter appropriate? Should it be addressed to the pastor or church secretary? Any suggestions or sample letters would be helpful. I want to leave on good terms. Serious answers only please.

An overly active mind or conversely, dulled senses are often the case after a hard day’s work.

What would you observe about yourself and how do you cope ?


If it is not too much a bother, kindly indicate one of the following hours worked:
1 = More than 40 hours
2 = More than 60 hours
3 = More than 80 hours
4 = More than 100 hours

Take a look at this Harris poll:

http://www.harrisinteractive.com/harris_poll/index.asp?PID=707

Islam isn't even on the radar, but atheism went from 15% to 18% in just the past three years! That's 1% a year, so in just a generation, the US will be majority-atheist.

Further, the younger and more educated you are, the less you believe in God. Only 66% of those 18 – 24 believe in God, and only 60% of people 25 – 29 believe in God. 40% of generation X is atheist!

Given these trends, why would one speculate that Islam, not atheism, will by the religion (or rather, lack of religion) for the future?

These days the truth seems like it is playing hide and seek with me. The more I seek after it, the more someone tells me it doesn't matter. That's funny, (sarcastically speaking) I believe that it most certainly does matter. But how to know it is the problem or more so how to accept it. The truth is obvious, don't settle for lies!

Today, I dawns on me that I have had crushes on guys, all of whom were not availible, had girlfriends etc. I have never had that situation where There was one curious or wanting to try it. That wouldn't work for me anyway, as I am talking about my emotional and love feelings for straight guys. It is my perceptions that due to my interest in mountains, outdoors, wilderness, that when I do cross into urban gay scenes, I feel out of place, and not very attractive to the gay men in that situation. There seems to be a difference between participants of urban based gay outdoor clubs and those like me who make outdoors a way of life. It seems that the guys around me in my every day natural environment are into girls only on a romantic love connection basis. I am now in a the midst of a large crush on a coworker, and at this point I grow tired of this pattern ,and I am aligning my desires to transcend this pattern, to attract AVAILIBLE and KIND love in my beautiful life. HELP!!!!

Do not judge, do not be bitter or angry, do not condemn, do not protest, do not be so outspoken.
Love everyone, nurture others, turn your focus to God and away from this sinful world, forgive, forget, lead by example, turn the other cheek, sit down, be quite and wait on the Lord. God is love, be a reflection of him.
If someone doesnt accept the word, move on. Be curtious, be respectful, be giving, be humble. Do not go by your own understanding, or try to turn God into what you want him to be for your own benefit. Don't ask what can God, or the Church do for me, ask what can I do for them.
Romans 12:1
Give back to him what is his.

She has not lost her job, she has minimal living expenses, and works at one of the better paying places in our area. I stopped and asked her what happened since payday was just two days before, she told me hush and move on, I was ruining her 'flagging.' When I saw her at work, she said she gets more money flagging than working. She is even calling off work to do this now. Her boyfriend went to jail a while back and just got out. She made him prove he was a changed man by going without drinking for 1 week and then let him move in with her at the low-cost motel. She stinks, she looks bad, and she is manipulative.

But my problem is this...Why does it bother me so much?! I am so upset and this is absolutely none of my business! I already know that.

I wish I could stand next to her with a sign that says "She is gainfully employed and is stealing your money."

My question is...How do I let this go?

It irritates me when I get on a machine that nobody wants to be near...and as soon as I get on the machine, somebody jumps on the machine next to me despite their being 200 other empty machines just like it!
Then when I move away from them and to an isolated machine, they stare me down.
Why do people do that?
