WELCOME to my Blog!
Intro -- Embarking on a new journey
I am tired of acting "normal", but not being accepted anyway.
I might as well "play" the fool. And such I may be.
My Blogs from here on out will probably be a little--strange, lol.
Or a lot strange, my forte.

Sometimes I wish I were a Good-looking woman. LOL!
Then I could be the one being pursued!
Of course, then I'd have to learn to say No thank you with compassion. lol.

COMPARISONS -- Why one relationship or person doesn't measure up to another. (Chocolate)

COMPARISONS -- Why one relationship or person doesn't measure up to another. (Chocolate)
Something I need to know about relationships, I learned through Chocolate. LOL. (Seriously. Check it out.)
For we do not DARE to make ourselves of "the number", or to compare ourselves with some that commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
--2 Cor. 10:12 (a bit out of context, I know ).
CHOCOLATE.
I've had a LOT of chocolate in my lifetime. And sometimes I am picky! Lol.
Well, the other day I bought two pricey chocolate bars, one sweeter than the other, neither of which I had had before. They were both Dark Chocolate. (Sorry Milk Chocolate fans! Even so, I think you'll enjoy this.)
I had some of the apparently-less-sweet one first. And, Oh, it was tasty. Not too bitter. Well, maybe a little.
Then, right after, I tried some of the other.
It might have even been labeled as semi-sweet, or something like that, but it seemed a lot sweeter than the first one.
And, by comparison, I thought it was TOO sweet. AND, I did NOT like it.
Well, I know how one food dish or flavor can affect our perceptions of following flavors. And I know how our taste buds, moods, and perceptions can differ from day to day. So I decided to wait until another time to try the "too sweet" one, again, even though I didn't like it, to give it a second chance, so to speak.
On a following day, I decided to try the sweeter chocolate all by itself. And--
It was just fine!! AND, I LIKED it! It was NOT too sweet!
In fact, I was wondering to myself whether it was the same chocolate bar! LOL.
But I realized it was, because I remembered that the other one had been more-noticeably bitter.
TODAY, as I tasted the first again, I was reminded of the second; and I realized that the first had affected the way I perceived, and compared/judged the second.
Also, because they were close enough in time, the one had a LARGE effect on the way I perceived the second.
It then dawned on me that something similar was true in relationships!
The effect of experiencing the one that seemed more bitter made me think that the second was too sweet.
Thinking about it further, I thought that if I had tried the sweeter one first, liking IT, then I would have thought that the first one was too bitter!
And I might not have liked that!*
Amazing.
Had I not had them in comparison to one another, I would have liked either one, and appreciated both, each one in turn.
And the opposite potential was there too: I could have disliked a following one because of a comparison with a previous one!
This speaks to comparisons between people!
And we're not even addressing what mood we might be in at the time, white chocolate, dark chocolate, hot, cold, LOL.
Application:
Be careful how you react, think, and feel about others.
Be extra-careful of comparisons.
Be careful to note what your own experiences of past and recent relationships have been like -- on the whole and specifically -- and realize more and more how they can affect your current (and future ) impressions of others.
Also--and PRAY about this first--unless you've spoiled the possibility (and if so, repent ):
Give someone you don't like a second chance to make a first impression, again.
For Scripture passages that may apply, see below.

Wasting my time, my life, on BC

Do you ever feel like you're just wasting time?
My time spent on BigChurch has primarily been in blogging. But, even so, I don't feel I've really been connecting as I might like to.
My serious side posts things of serious import to others' blogs. Sometimes appreciated.
My silly side is, well, silly.
On a stupid note, I sort of don't notice when someone comments "nice" on my comments on their Blogs. (Maybe I am thinking they're just being polite to respond.) I guess I mainly look to see what effect it had, if any, if they were encouraged, got upset, disagree, etc.
I don't know--
I want to have people like me, and want to do things with me, BUT -- if you've known me for any length of time, or have seen my Blogs -- my current life situation is a lot of work. And I can be a lot of work for others. LOL.
And a lot of folks are just lazy I tell you. Lazy! LOL. And I feel at times sad or lethargic myself.
And many I connected with in some way on BC have left.
And BC is a VERY small site anyway. Online at any one time are less than what you might see attend a Sunday service in a larger assembly. And a lot of the people here are, hmm, a little unusual compared to a lot of people. (I am probably no exception.)
It's nice to banter, have fun, and it's nice to joke around. And it's interesting to discuss serious topics, but I originally came here to MEET someone that I am interested in; and well, that hasn't really occurred.
Anyhoo, I feel that all this blogging is fine and well, but connecting could be better. Maybe I'll just start going to a bunch of Meetup things, and not bother here much anymore. Like duh, actually meet people? Lol.
The rest of my life feels like I am practically wasting time as well. But that's another topic, I guess.
I've been here over 2 years, and have yet to find anyone -- not that I actually search very often -- who is in my state, and mutually interested.
Blog--I mean--Story of my life.
Lol.
P.S. Don't let my automatic signature when you write totally fool you. I have still been spending way too much time here, emailing and blogging. LOL. *Sigh*.

Thank you for PRAYING for the Appeals case. NOW WHAT?

Thank you for PRAYING for the Appeals case.
We won!
Now I can hope that other tenants in the state won't be evicted using the nefarious method they used on me.
However, this situation needs even further prayer.
If I sue the person, since it was a verbal agreement, and that may be difficult to prove, I might not win. And if we lost, I could end up paying for their attorneys fees. I dunno.
MY attorneys were on board hoping to get a percentage. Well, while the Appeals court saw the wrong that was done, all they do is kick it back down to trial court. At the same time, they said that the attorneys could not collect fees for the Appeals case.
So my attorneys have gone unpaid thus far. We are talking a LOT of hours.
However, I don't want to lose a trial, and end up with $30,000-$50,000 in fees for the other guy.
And he's likely already suffered financially, having lost.
On the other hand, my stuff's been sitting in storage for several months, as I had 3 days to pack and move it all. All 3000SF of it!
I don't know what to do.
Not being terribly courageous -- and lacking Faith at this time in general -- I don't know whether we should move onto dealing with the person who illegally and/or unethically evicted me last year in a trial situation or not.
I suppose we could at least try to "settle" out of court BEFORE filing anything.
YHWH elohim, Help! What to do? (Please answer. Thank You.)
Pray.
Thanks!
NOW WHAT?

Time off from BigChurch. (Please PRAY.)

Hi,
Things are REALLY starting to get busy, and I am feeling overwhelmed. Please pray in the Spirit for me! Thanks.
I am not getting enough sleep, recently, and not getting to bed at normal hours.
I need to make some major life and career choices and changes.
I may need to MOVE soon, maybe even this month, and I don't know where.
I'll also need to move a lot of stuff in November, and I don't know where.
Pressure to make major Estate decisions has just been applied, which I didn't need now.
And a person who's been sitting on the fence regarding real estate, in my attempts to start a Recording Studio, has been absent.
And I STILL feel like I have those legal hassles (in earlier Blogs ) hanging over me. Court date or dates may be coming up soon.
And, I need more friends and personal support! (not people to pick on me about it, lol ). A lot of my outreach in this area, of late, has not been reciprocated much.
I am trying to get more active, and even to meet people, dance, golf even, LOL.
I need wise counselors -- for "there is safety in many counselors" -- and MUCH INCREASED FAITH. Personal, Career, Real Estate, Health / Doctors / Dentists.
Some things have occurred outside of me that have shaken my beliefs to the core. (I've not blogged here about it.) Shaken them down to the very foundations of Christianity. Regardless, I need answers to issues of What is really going on behind the scenes of life. There is more than meets the eye, or what typical Bibles may indicate.
Anyway, Thanks for understanding, and putting up with me through this time.
Friends, feel free to write, but I may be curtailing my emailing. Feel free, after a couple of emails back & forth, to email your number.
Thank you for interceding for me!

Who are the NICE people here on BC?
You know what I mean. As opposed to those who are insulting when they Blog. Those who are kind, faithful, honorable, all that, whatever the best words are to describe such people.
Feel free to list both men AND women.
Thanks!

TEST the spirits! HOW?

Scripture says to "test the spirits". HOW?
I may know some of the more obvious ways, or not, LOL, but still feel I do not FULLY know how to do this important thing.
If you have any thoughts, or blogs/articles, that show this step by step, I'd appreciate it.
Feel free to include personal revelation, and practice. And of course, Scripture.
Thank you!
No personal attacks here. Be nice.

LADIES!
What would YOU like to see in a FIRST email from a man here?
If you've gotten a great first email from a man that you don't know -- or even if you haven't yet! -- who somehow saw you here, please forward the body text of it, and maybe say if there is anything you don't like in it.
Standard Members, you should be able to see my profile and email me for this purpose.
If you haven't yet gotten such an email, maybe write out what you would like to see in you Inbox from a man: actual words, not just topics to write about.
Thank you, Thank you!
