Forgiving

You don't have to say what it is.....but do you have one main thing you are always asking God to forgive you for?

Duke · 08-16-2005, 11:47 AM

No, but I prolly should be.

I know there is some HUGE count on how many times God will forgive for the same thing....but I bet on a couple...I'm playing the odds. LOL!

There's not a lot I specifically ask God to forgive me for. Exept for doubting his existance.

Something I do though...it's along these same lines...is I bargain with God. I know! I'm crazy! But I'll be praying and I'll say...GOD....if you'll just help us do this or get that or go here then I'll ...*fill in the blank*...

Does anyone else do that?

Weiser · 10-31-2005, 05:31 PM

Nope. Just like Duke said though, I probably should.

darkangelism · 10-31-2005, 05:47 PM

yeah i do that, hasnt helped though.

I still don't know whether or not God throws dice.

But if he exists, no doubt he would explain that it was not an important matter.

As for things that I want to be forgiven, yes they do exist.

Yes, I'm such a bad boy...

I'm battling to make God more important than sex-I dont sleep around or anything but I still lose a lot...

Duke · 01-10-2006, 01:18 AM

um, wha?

twinkle · 01-10-2006, 09:45 AM

Yes, at least one huge thing. I haven't thought about that in a while, btw.

For the New Year's Eve I made a resolution: istead of asking more from those around me, I'll give more. I'm someone rather reserved in day to day life.

Actually, it's probably the main thing which keeps single people worried.

I'm not a real giving person either. I'll give 'stuff'....but rarely want to go out of my way to give someone a ride or spend time with them. I'm very selfish when it comes to my personal time.

twinkle · 01-10-2006, 11:02 AM

Oh, I don't mean doing stuff for other people - I'm nice that way. I mean being more opened, warmer, allowing them to know me, expressing myself more often.

As a foreigner, I always fear making grammar mistakes or being totally off phase due to the cultural difference. It's stupid, but I need to be more comfortable with this issue.

Twinkle you sound like a cool person-coolness transcends culture...
It's one of the burdens of youth to be preoccupied with what others think-people reject first but if you dont react to that rejection they'll questiuon it given time...

Twinks....I agree with Hezekiah. You speak like what....THREE languages fluently. I'm from the south....I don't even speak proper English. HAHA!

I don't know if it's different in Europe since more countries with different languages are close to each other....but I've never ran into anyone in the US or Canada who really didn't appreciate a cool European accent and a play with words or meanings.

I was telling my oldest son about you at Christmas. Since he's the public relations librarian at a college....he's always interested in what goes on elsewhere. He also deals with lots of foreign students. He said just looking for a job in Europe after getting your masters can be an ego buster and pain in the butt. Due to size/opportunity alone....it's just easier in the US....which is why most foreign graduates end up staying here....rather than going back home.

You have everything going for you Twinks....don't let life make you feel anything less than being a winner.
