So about that.... I thought I'd have some free time over the weekend but I was wrong. I've been slammed the past few days getting ready for an event this coming weekend and will be traveling from later this morning through Sunday evening. I'll try again early next week.

Received. Will get to it this weekend.

Yeah, I get that, and no, you're not the one misunderstanding. Sorry for any confusion. I came over here motivated by issues outside this thread and sort of glossed over the 'anonymous' part.

There's a saying at the gym: "I'm sore in places I didn't even know I had muscles!" In my experience (my own situation and others') even women who think they get this, are ready to do whatever God wants them to do, and launch into it with good intentions can find themselves having unexpected...

Zec's right, you're not likely to get a lot of people outing themselves here publicly. But I just sent you a DM, and I invite anyone else who's willing to do so to send you one as well. It's a legit question.

I had to think about this one for a minute. I agree with Samuel 100% that this is a major problem: There are only so many hours in a day, and every minute I spend here, or really every second, comes out of time I could be spending with my women, children, in-laws, grandkids, my life's work, my...

Mmmm, maybe not. Anybody who's been around a bit can start to tell who is and who ain't livin the life from the conversations, and you can always just ask somebody straight out (publicly or DM) if it matters to you. And there's nobody here that I know is living it that I think would want to be...

I almost deleted the bit about Peterson; shoulda listened to the little voice. Just wanted to make the point that in today's culture things assumed in scripture don't always mesh with the reality around us, so sometimes we have to revisit those priors and straighten out the mess there before we...

Further thought: "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." If loving myself is the standard for how I should love my neighbor, then it matters a lot how I perceive myself and take care of myself. Jordan Peterson's Rule 2 ("Treat yourself like someone you are...

The pearl of great price and treasure in the field are also stories of 'enlightened self-interest'. Try this on for size: Truly recognizing the magnitude of God's love and provision and wanting that for yourself no matter what it costs is the beginning of wisdom and humility. Thinking we are...

Won't work. Successful, educated, very white Germans get no sympathy or aid from the Regime....

Yes, it is still a possibility. I was thinking Jan or Feb, but it will be a few weeks before I can really get a clear sight picture of what that first quarter looks like for me. Stay tuned!

Nothing definite yet, but I like the rhythm of 'big national retreat' in the summer and 'smaller regional retreat' in the winter, so I'll be putting something together for Texas and friends in the Jan/Feb zone. Stay tuned!

Okay, fair! But now we're using 'fruit' as a metaphor that covers even more territory than the various uses of 'fellowship' do. That said, I 100% agree that some very productive stuff happens here on the forum as well as at retreats!

TRM can always be counted on to say the quiet part out loud (love ya, bro!), so thanks for saying it. And thanks, ABM, for your thoughtful follow up. Your take on this situation is 🎯.

"Fellowship" is a big word that means different things to different people, and often means different things to one person based on the context in which it is used. What we get here at the BF discussion forum is 'validation' (you are not crazy) and 'camaraderie' (you are not alone). That feels...

Cheryl's Easter Project:

Listening to Ps 144 now. Might bring that to TN....

See ya there!

Welcome, fellow Texan!
