The most sought after women in the world--
Duane:
I always thought that the church was called "the bride of Christ" because they were always SQUABBLING! :-)
Gina:
Not arguing with that, Duane!

I saw a post that Dave in Tenn wrote in the last six months, and he said something to the effect of: "I'm not a victim of anything." I respect you a lot, Dave, but when I read that I felt the blood in the capillaries in my face pulsate. Who knew it felt so good to feel sorry for myself and to dwell on the things I didn't have? It was bad drama but it was at least some drama Nobody loves me, boo hoo. (Oh, I could put on a show!! I think I missed my calling as an actress.) ;D
But Dave's right. Thank you, Dave!
The devil loves to get me where it hurts me most: Fear of abandonment and vanity. Not a recipe for happiness. lol I've been told I've got self-control. I may have self-control in the relative sense and I thank God for it if I do.
I have to make a conscious effort to remind myself that being single has its good points, too, because it does!
We can either go through life feeling so lonely (which as Ray pointed out in a recent email is only a feeling and a subjective one at that), or go through life believing that God is not feeling sorry for us.
Who here hasn't fallen prey to the Hollywood Joker:
"All alone, aren't you? HA! Well, keep that up and you're not gonna like yourself a whole lot, I can tell ya that right now. And I am going to help you make it to that destination."
When you're fearful and depressed, spending money on things you can't afford and don't need and / or ingesting harmful substances, etc., to make yourself feel better and, therefore, more valuable in the eyes of the world helps a lot! (I kid.)
But isn't it true that there will be no marriage in the kingdom (unless you count the church being the "bride" of Christ which doesn't count literally lol ) because we will be like the angels--asexual -- neither male, nor female, right? Would it be ridiculous to desire that it be possible that God is teaching some of us to learn to like that idea--in the here and now?

Angels are asexual? How do you know? Do you have two or three scriptures that say so? Jesus said that we will neither marry or be given in marriage. Jesus didn't say no sex.
God made us male and female. Two basic models. Scriptures seem to show that we will be male and female in the times to come. God created sex. Are we to assume that male and female and sexual relations between the two, are just for the present ages? Are there two or three scriptures that prove that?
Will there be male and female and sexual relations between the two in the times to come? Maybe not. :( Then again, maybe so. :-* ;D ;D ;D
Who knows the mind or plans of God? I believe we know very little of what is to come. But, I don't think it will be boring.
Deborah-Leigh:
This is mind blowing material ~ ;D :D
Rob M:
