When your appetite is wet for noodles.

Oh how lonely it is when you have no friends no family to care for you, no children running around the house and your mother and father are dead. "Is this the way my life has turned out to be? I am a lonely old man with no one to care for me. I never had any children, but oh how desperately I wanted to be saved from this life of solitude"...but wait, I am only dreaming. My mother and father are still alive, I'm an active person in my society, I have religion, not the kind that leaves you feeling empty on Sunday but the real kind that makes you feel like you can almost touch the hand of God. Oh there is that word, I said it God. It'd kind of neat, I'll say it again..no I think I'll just leave that word for my special times with Him. Yes I refer to God in the masculine, but that is not what wetting your noodle is all about.

Let me explain.

I started off this blog by saying how lonely it is to be alone. True it can be lonely. We find ourselves doing things that we would do if people where around and then we end up feeling guilty for trying to be happy with ourselves.

This can be a bad idea. I don't have kids, but if you do and you are feeling lonely right now, try not to think of the kids not being with you right now. It's fall, my favorite season, the leaves the smell, something romantic about fall, your kids have just started school again and you are wondering what to do with your time. I'm not doctor Phil, but I think I have discovered a few ways to beat this thing we call loneliness. First get a good book, slam it on your coffee table and say to yourself, when it is cold out side, when I start feeling the dread of those little white things falling from the sky, I will pick up my book, throw my computer to the self and be with myself in peace...

I know. How do you do that?
Like I said, I'm no doctor Phil, but I have found a few answers to feeling alone. Curl up into a ball and start repeating "I am not alone...I am not alone...we are never alone.." This may just conjure up feelings that you will always be alone, so when the phone rings or someone does come home you can hit yourself over the head, and say "there are only how many months left till Christmas....good grief." Really I feel your pain.

There is no easy solutions or steps to comforting yourself, but that is why we were no put on planet earth alone. You know that book you put on your coffee table, why not read it.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

  Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

Age of Brokenness.

  We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...
