Good morning, I'm getting sick. I have a sore throat & a bit of a headache. I guess I'm gonna join Kaylin & Zeria in feeling miserable.
I think I won't be online much today. (Though I may be wrong lol)
I went to one of my favorite boards last night--not a Christian board, and they had a thread that made me go ewwwwww! They wanted to know how big my husbands _____ was and it went downhill from there. I thought & thought and thought what to do about. This board has always been innocent fun, and now it was BLUCHY! And there have been several other similar threads lately.
This is not God-honoring. It is not me-honoring. And how dare they share something intimate about their spouses on the wwweb???
So after a LONG thought I told them that I was taking a bit of a break. I would lurk, but not post while I pondered on it. The thread is apparently missing this morning. I'm desperately hoping that means they deleted it. But I still need to step back for a day or two.
So then I go to my other board. (not a Christian board) And they have a thread running (for 125 posts) about how many partners have you had. And were they male or female. And I again went ewwwwwwwwwwwwww! And then the thread went downhill further into have you ever done swing, etc, etc.
Soooooo more pondering. I did decide to post. Because I'm PROUD of the fact that I've only ever had one and that Dh has only ever had one. And that we waited 'til our wedding night. I think that is a MAJOR accomplishment. And I have absolutely NO regrets about it either!
That board does NOT take criticism well--so I left it alone at that. They have 1 moderator for 8 forums and 1500 postee's it is NOT well taken care of.
I guess the verse Whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are noble, if their be any virtue, or if their be any praise think on these things sticks in my head. And NONE of that was available last night.
And how are you gonna know that a thread is ICK until you open it, and then its too late. *Sigh*
Sooooo I'm gonna keep pondering that one.
I LOVE being on the computer. I do not see it as a detriment to my family. I find it gives me the balance I need to support them. But every once & awhile I find myself being discouraged by evil, and ick. And have to step back.
So stepping back a bit today--though probably not too far--I like to IM too much ROFL!
Father God, today as I don't feel good & the kids don't feel good, I ask for your strength to continue on. And the courage to say no to things that aren't good for me or my family. I ask that you would take away the headache so I can function better, and I ask for Rob as he goes to work today that he will find the courage to be a testimony to his co-workers. I love you in your sons name, Amen

I dont know whether to laugh or puke at those threads!! Oh how proud should we be of those "women"- and I deliberately put women in quotes- who have had an insane amount of partners?? Give her a medal! Give her a trophy! How about giving her AIDS or Herpies??????? Gross, just plain ole gross!
I hope you're feeling terrific again very soon. Sometimes we have to see what the world calls normal so that we understand that we are changed by Christ...when I think of the attitudes which I had before, and the things I allowed to slip out of my mouth, or the jokes that I used to laugh at, etc. it makes me sad. But you can probably find other boards on the www that are uplifting, encouraging, and honoring your lifestyle, if you choose to explore. Sometimes it's when things no longer seem to fit, it's a sign that it's time to move on. I learned a long time ago that some friendships are for a season, and others are for a lifetime. If you think you can be a witness, or reflect virtue into the situation, okay. But if you come away feeling you are soiled by the experience, maybe their witness has pulled you down. Just something to consider. Get well soon!
So sorry you had such a lousy nite of it... Good for you for standing up for what is right.
Hope you start to feel better soon Have a great day.
