I need my BC brothers and sisters help..... Apr 23, 2006 11:44 am

I need my BC brothers and sisters help.....

As most of you that know me know I have been divorced for 8 months... and I like many of you that have found yourself single again there is a loneliness to it... I know I have my kids and friends, but still there is that emptiness I feel... of wanting to be excepted..

I have a confession to make and I hope you all can help me with my problem and not judge me... If you would have told me a year ago that I would be dealing with this problem I would have told you NOWAY I have more self control than that... I know that this kind of stuff was out there in the world, and that other men may have falling prey to it, but not me...it would never consume me..

I can name the date when this all first started... it was like it grabbed a hold of my heart and soon this problem started to consume my thoughts.. you know it is ramped on the Internet you see it everywhere... I find myself sneaking at work for it, going to it when I get home, before I go to bed at night, to try and satisfy my new need for this...I believe this problem has taken over my life and I can't seem to get away from it... me being a God fearing man, how could this happen to me...

I believe that I am addicted to this problem... and can't seem to control it any longer..... So please my BC friends I need your help I can't fight this problem alone any more..........

You see my name is Rod and I'm addicted to................................

An Act of Charity Apr 22, 2006 8:18 pm

An Act of Charity

One Sunday a pastor asked his congregation to consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns.

After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had contributed a $1,000. He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation, and said he'd like to personally thank the person who had placed the money in the plate.

A very quiet, elderly, saintly widow shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front. Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much and asked her to pick out three hymns.

Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three handsomest men in the building and said, "I'll take him and him and him."

BC Ladies.... Apr 17, 2006 9:15 pm

I'm sitting here thinking of all the hurts and pain's that I've read here on BC and sometimes not even the hurt is said, but just the reaction by some show how much hurt has been done.. I wonder if the pain will ever leave.. but it must... this post is not an easy post for me to write, but God has been working on me and I believe he wants me to write this...

I believe the first step in healing is forgiveness.. we need to forgive the ones that hurt us.. I know how hard that is, because you see not always does the one that caused us pain think that they need to be forgive by us(their blinded)... some don't even deserve to be forgiven, but do any of us?... If we went to the ones that hurt us to forgive them they would maybe laugh at us or hurt us more... but I believe God is saying that WE/I need to still forgive them for what they have done to us/me for our healing to begin..

So me first: Ronda my wife of 19 years I want to forgive you for breaking my heart, for not keeping your promise that you made to me, that you would love me for better or worse... in sickness and health... tell death do us part... I forgive you for rejecting me.. I forgive you for allowing some one else to capture your heart... I forgive you for all the ill words you have said to me... I forgive you for turning away from me in my worst of times... I forgive you for the divorce... and the pain that it causes our son's.. Ronda I forgive you................................And Ronda I ask that you forgive me... for not being that man you expected me to be... for not being able to give you your dreams.. for taking your love for granted... forgive me for being ignorant and not knowing what to do to save our marriage.... forgive me for letting you go... Ronda please forgive me..

You ladies here at BC have been such a great blessing to me.. and I can see that many if not all of you have had the same hurts and pain that I have felt... and it has been the men in your life that have hurt you.. it brakes my heart that any of you ladies would be hurt.. I see some of your pictures and read your post and can't even imagine why a man would want to hurt any of you...

When I sit at church and see women with there children alone without their husband I think "Men do you even have a clue to what you have here?"... I know we're not to be jealous but I am!... My hearts desire was always for God to heal my marriage and that my wife could share with me the most important part of my life...JESUS.... everyone of you ladies are special and my heart is broken that a man would cause any of you harm... I want to do something that may seem strange to you ladies but like I said God has been working on me, and I believe he wants me to do this...

I know that the men that have hurt you would probably never ask you to forgive them for the pain that they caused you, so I ask that if you would let me, I want to ask you to forgive me in there place... let me ask you for forgiveness.. you see if not for the Grace Of God I too could be that man that hurt you...

Please...

forgive me for breaking my vow to you.....

forgive me for not loving you any more....

forgive me for not supporting you...

forgive me for not being there when you needed me too...

forgive me for the ill words I've said...

forgive me for having an affair...

forgive me for abusing you physically....

forgive me for being over bearing and controlling....

forgive me for lying to you...

forgive me for cheating you...

forgive me for forcing you to have sex with me...

forgive me for dieing and leaving you to face this ugly world alone.....

forgive me for abandoning you and the kids....

forgive me for taking my own life...

forgive me for not being a father...

forgive me for not being a husband...

forgive me for not being the Godly man I told you I was...

forgive me for not loving you the way God says too...

forgive me for not respecting you...

forgive me for putting you down...

forgive me for making promises that I never intended to keep..

forgive me for manipulating you for my own sexual desires...

forgive me for being selfish and concerned about my needs only...

I'm sure that there are other hurts that men have cause you, and I ask will you forgive me for these wrongs/sins that have been commended against you?...

Thank you BC ladies for being a godly example... it has giving me a hope that I will be able to love again... the one that my God has chosen for me...

A new pastor: Apr 16, 2006 6:08 pm

A new pastor... was visiting in the homes of his parishioners.

At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door.

Therefore, he took out a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned.

Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10."

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter.

Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock."

Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked."

How to Get Out of Work!... Apr 13, 2006 5:24 am

How to Get Out of Work

I decided that I needed a few days off but realized that I had no vacation, personal, or sick leave left, so I figured the best way to get the boss to send me home was to act a little crazy. I figured he'd think I was "burning
out" and would give me some time off.

I came in to work early the other day and rigged myself to hang upside down from the ceiling. Just then one of my co-workers (she's blond - it'll be important later) came in and asked me what I was doing.

"Shhh," I said, "I'm acting crazy to get a few days off. I'm acting like a
light bulb."

A second or two later the Boss walked by and asked me what I was doing.

"I'm a light bulb!" I exclaimed.

"You're going crazy," he said. "Take a few days off."

With that, I jumped down and started walking out. My blond co-worker started following me. The Boss stopped her and asked where she was going......

She said; "Home, I can't work in the dark."

Just having some fun...

Try and explain this:

My cell phone is couple of years old, and it's one those kind that you can program to say the name of the person you want to call then it will dial that person for you.... and it has always worked fine...

Well I have notice something about it now... it will dial everyone's number but one when I say their name!.... when I say my former wife's name it will not dial, but when I say anybody else name it will dial that number!... lol

Go figure, I must say her name differently now than I did when we were married... lol could it be that my phone has detected less stress in my voice when saying her name now?.. lol or is it just a glitch?...

When is a man and woman ONE in Gods eyes?..... Apr 8, 2006 8:35 pm

I have been divorced for eight months, and I can already see that there is a certain stigma to the word "divorce"... It seems like if your divorced your used goods... But if you are single and have been intimate sexually your not used goods... I wonder whats the difference?.. I have only been intimate with one woman, but I'm divorced... a single person may have been intimate with a few people... Why am I looked at differently?... so my question is:

"When is a man and woman ONE in Gods eyes?....."
When you say your vows...
When the pastor signs the marriage paper...
When you are intimate sexually with someone...
Past intimate partners don't count ...
Only when your in love with him/her...
Rod will you marry me?.. (Ladies only please!..)
Other... (meaning you don't like my answers, you have your own)

Understanding Male Talk OR What He is Really Saying:

"IT'S A GUY THING"
Translated: "There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical."

*

"CAN I HELP WITH DINNER?"
Translated: "Why isn't it already on the table?"

*

"UH HUH," "SURE, HONEY," OR "YES, DEAR"
Translated: Absolutely nothing; it's a conditioned response.

*

"IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN"
Translated: "I have no idea how it works."

*

"TAKE A BREAK, HONEY. YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD."
Translated: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."

*

"THAT'S INTERESTING, DEAR."
Translated: "Are you still talking?"

*

"YOU KNOW HOW BAD MY MEMORY IS."
Translated: "I remember the theme song to 'F Troop,' the address of the first girl I ever kissed and the vehicle identification numbers of every car I've ever owned . . . but I forgot your birthday."

*

"OH, DON'T FUSS, I JUST CUT MYSELF. IT'S NO BIG DEAL."
Translated: "I have actually severed a limb but will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt."

*

"HEY, I'VE GOT MY REASONS FOR WHAT I'M DOING."
Translated: "And I sure hope I think of some pretty soon."

*

"I CAN'T FIND IT."
Translated: "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."

*

"WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?"
Translated: "What did you catch me at?"

*

"I HEARD YOU."
Translated: "I haven't the foggiest clue what you just said and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't spend the next three days yelling at me."

*

"YOU KNOW I COULD NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE."
Translated: "I am used to the way you yell at me and realize it could be worse."

*

"YOU LOOK TERRIFIC."
Translated: "Oh, please don't try on one more outfit. I'm starving."

*

"I'M NOT LOST. I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE."
Translated: "No one will ever see us alive again."

*

"WE SHARE THE HOUSEWORK."
Translated: "I make the messes; she cleans them up.

Test for Dementia

Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately.

OK, Let's find out just how clever you really are

Ready? GO!!!

First Question:

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

Answer:
If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!
*
*
Try not to screw up in the next question.
*
*
To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.
*
*
Second Question:

If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
Answer:
If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
*
*
You're not very good at this! Are you?
*
*
Third Question:
Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head only.
*
*
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
*
*
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000 Now add 10. What is the total?
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
Did you get 5000?
*
*
The correct answer is actually 4100.

Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your day. Maybe you will get the last question right?
*
*
Fourth Question:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4.Nono.

What is the name of the fifth daughter?
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
Answer:

Nunu?......NO! Of course not.Her name is Mary.

Read the question again
*
*
Okay, now the bonus round:

There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.

Just having some fun...
