It just hurts though to think of men thinking of me in such a way as that. However, I do not always have a charitable view of men either. I think that I would make a very patient man a good wife. But I am very independent and not very clingy so I am okay with being single.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861130.post-1148743834004649602006-05-27T10:30:00.000-05:002006-05-27T10:30:00.000-05:00About that issues thing with older unmarried women...About that issues thing with older unmarried women, I don't think that's true at all. I've been married three times and I am one of the most screwed up people I know.<BR/><BR/>I've wondered about that because look around and you'll see homely, unpleasant women married.<BR/><BR/>And many beautiful, sweet good women unmarried.

It is hard to have faith and trust at the darkest times, but that is when you need it the most. It is after the trial of our faith that blessings often come. I am humbled though knowing that others have endured so much and that I have often wanted to buckle under my trials.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861130.post-1148486549232744342006-05-24T11:02:00.000-05:002006-05-24T11:02:00.000-05:00What a story.

If we were better at being true believers and followers of Christ, we would be closer to rebuilding zion. I wonder *how* that is going to happen when we are so self-righteous and judgmental. I am trying to do something about this the only place that I can, and that is with me and my family.<BR/><BR/>Reading stories Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861130.post-1148467181365159312006-05-24T05:39:00.000-05:002006-05-24T05:39:00.000-05:00I'm glad you both liked my guest poster.

He originally contacted me over an essay I have on-line at http://adrr.com/living/e01.htm and we corresponded.<BR/><BR/>Things got better for him and I asked if he would give me an essay for a guest post. This is it. I've liked having guest essays.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219023897626648057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861130.post-1148454129671793542006-05-24T02:02:00.000-05:002006-05-24T02:02:00.000-05:00Beautifully written.I agree Annegb.I like that, a ...Beautifully written.<BR/><BR/>I agree Annegb.<BR/><BR/>I like that, a life of LOUD desperation :-)<BR/><BR/>I'm learning... slowly and surly..Lisa M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01015215401481176075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861130.post-1148433913570862382006-05-23T20:25:00.000-05:002006-05-23T20:25:00.000-05:00Actually the older I get the more I realize that n...Actually the older I get the more I realize that nobody gets out of here without some major trauma, some of us endure it sooner and harder, but everybody struggles.<BR/><BR/>Some of us struggle as you've shared, and I'm so grateful, I, too, have such emotional difficulties--thank you for sharing your story.<BR/><BR/>I think I recall Elder Packer saying that most of us are depressed a lot of the annegbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037271914260019842noreply@blogger.com
