spri1458 View Profile	FAVORITE SONG LYRIC'S Posted : 21 Feb, 2009 12:35 PM This song reminds me that we should be more careful than we often are about what we assume and say. Bite My Tongue by Relient K: "I was going to spell it out in full detail But I dropped the call before I spilled my guts But your floor stayed clean like my conscience will be �Cause if you heard anything you didn�t hear it from me And I�m sweeping up the seconds that tick off the clock And saving them for later when I�m too ticked to talk And I need some time to search my mind To locate the words that seem so hard to find Sometimes I say things that I wish I could take back The most crucial thing I lack is a thing called tact And if you�re always so intently listening Then the smartest thing to say is to tell myself not to say a thing Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet Don�t let it all come undone �Cause if I dare open my mouth It�ll just be to bite my tongue To bite my tongue It seems I�m always close minded with an open mouth And the worst of me seems to come right out But I�ve never broken bones with a stone or a stick But I�ll conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick �Cause sometimes I say things that I wish I could take back And the smartest thing to say is to tell myself to keep Quiet, quiet Don�t let it all come undone �Cause if I dare open my mouth It�ll just be to bite my tongue Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet (And) listen to Your voice Because the power of Your words Can repair all that I�ve destroyed And when I finally do Let it come from You The peace of understanding grips my soul You�re the reason I�ve Found meaning in this life So I�ll swallow up my pride and give You control Give it to You"

spri1458 View Profile	Just wondering.... Posted : 1 Feb, 2009 05:46 PM --A clear and respectable photo is a plus. --Having at least a couple of things in common with the other person is a plus. --Having a unique or creative profile is a major plus. Like in the job market, it�s to your advantage if you can differentiate yourself from the competition. --Poor spelling/grammar, using all capital letters, toggling the case, writing everything in internet slang (like �sk8� for �skate�), and writing little-to-nothing are major turn-offs. These things either make it difficult to read a profile or reflect little effort in the creation of the profile, suggesting that the person isn�t very enthusiastic about finding someone. Writing way too much is a turn-off too. --A lot of profiles say something like �I love God more than anything. I�m not very good at describing myself/I never know what to say on these things. If you want to know anything else, just ask.� This doesn�t do much for me�it should go without saying that a person on this site loves God(try showing this more, rather than just telling it), and I don�t want to have to ask just to find out basic information.
spri1458 View Profile	Free wil Posted : 9 Jan, 2009 05:10 PM Good question. I've always found free will to be a very interesting topic. I think the story of Jonah is meant, at least partially, to show that it is best not to question God's motives--that if we obey Him from the start, we will be better off. God's will was for Jonah to preach in Ninevah, and His will cannot be overcome. Jonah had free will in some sense, because he chose to disobey God and run away, among other things. Ultimately though, I don't think he had free will. If God wanted him to preach in Ninevah, there's really nothing he could do to avoid it.

spri1458 View Profile	Now how about swearing? Posted : 6 Nov, 2008 09:09 PM I don't like swearing either, as it makes me uneasy. My mother taught me not to swear, but I eventually had to decide for myself to avoid it. I believe it detracts from intelligent speech and see it as a lack of self-control. Due to the latter point and the fact that children often begin swearing as a means of fitting in with their friends, I can see how one would see it as immature. I cannot see when it would ever be necessary. Then there's this passage as well: Colossians 3:5-8.
spri1458 View Profile	FAVORITE SONG LYRIC'S Posted : 17 Oct, 2008 08:33 PM Lots of great songs in there, Dark Knight. I forgot about Everyday Sunday. "Find Me Tonight" is my favorite songs from them as well. Here's that one for anyone interested: "Yesterday, I could not feel this Today I'm sick of trying To live like I can live on my own This world around me is suffocating But I keep forgetting To turn and run into You So find me Wherever I am won't You Find me I got myself lost and I Don't think I want to be roaming in heartache Please find me tonight I make it hard and I can't stand it Can't wrap my head around it I wrestle with You more than I should I make a mess of everything But You see the best in me I'll never be too far gone You speak without a sound Your love is so loud You always save me" The lyrics are simple but powerful, and the music behind them really drives this one home.
spri1458 View Profile	Am I Doing Something Wrong? Posted : 12 Sep, 2008 07:07 PM Your profile is fine. I've run into the same situation several times before. There are many possible reasons as to why you haven't received a response. I wouldn't think too much into it. Personally, I just shrug it off when it happens.
spri1458 View Profile	repentance Posted : 12 Sep, 2008 06:36 PM Maybe this is too obvious for a first step (I'll list a second step in case it is), but I would say that the first step towards repenting is recognition/understanding of the sin that was committed. If a person can't recognize a sin when (s)he commits it, how can (s)he properly repent for it? I would say admitting that the sin is one's own fault is the second step.
