David - I didn't red thumb you, but if I may say so a big part of the reason that you are routinely red thumbed is that you do rather patronise those who don't agree with you.

To take your last post it isn't a... [continued]

John 7889 - absolutely no problem. A very fair point. Some folk in their 60s are older than others! My Dad was still barrowing concrete around in his late eighties and I hope I'll take after him.

Fatima - agree absolutely

David - I wasn't so much asking a question as attempting to encourage Christians to ask God for mercy on this land and to pray for rulers (as we are told to). In terms of the end times theology you quote, I am a... [continued]

Many thanks for the affirmation folk

There was an article recently in the Telegraph recently: "The eurozone crisis: we need more than prayers now"... [continued]

John 7889 - I'm 62 and my son 16. Works well for us so long as I don't drop off the perch before he finishes at Uni!

Sarah - I guess it happens. It happened to me: I was running around Africa in my 30's, married for the first (and so far only!) time when I was 42 and my son was born when I was 46.

There is I think another... [continued]

Ta ta for now everyone: my membership expires shortly and I feel I shouldn't renew it at least for a while.

I've enjoyed the Boards and met some delightful people (just not one who would consent to marry me...).... [continued]

Mostly use the boards. Occasionally have a bit of an e-mail conversation with folk I've met on CC. Very occasionally do a search, sometimes on keywords (e.g see who else has lived in Tanzania or confesses to learning Mandarin)

I agree with Julia - we tend to be drawn to others who think like we do. Pilots like yacking with other pilots, doctors with other doctors, young mums with other young mums. That is morally neutral. Where it goes... [continued]

As has been said, how we do stuff is probably more important than what we are doing "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters" and "Whatever your hand finds to... [continued]

I Corinthians 15 talks about "that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scripture" as being of first importance. By... [continued]

Tara and Pauline are asking whether and how we feel uncomfortable as men. Speaking for myself (an unrepresentative sample of one) I feel entirely comfortable being a bloke, and free to be what I want to be. What I... [continued]

On the original topic I don't have a problem with "willing to relocate". That is useful to know if (like me) you can't move yourself (my son is in a local school, his Mum lives nearby, and we share care). It... [continued]

Following a discussion with a friend, I'd like to suggest splitting this discussion in two. I think it is perfectly fine to have a discussion of what (in our view) is good and not so good in profiles, even though it... [continued]
