Parenting as a Christian Single Dad

Last night I attended a church meeting hoping to make some connections. Since my divorce a couple years ago I have struggled with making new contacts and friends. I have noticed that my patience for people has even diminished causing me to isolate myself more than normal. I guess I have lost confidence in others because of the divorce. To be honest I really didn’t pay much thought to it but recently I have begun to examine myself to see if I can figure out what is going on. The meeting was good but unfortunately the group was not what I was looking for. I was surrounded by people in their 20’s and/or families in their 30’s. As a single parent I really feel left out, even more so as a single dad. There seems to be a class or a group for single women but rarely for single dads. I would love a class like that! As a man living single is very hard. I really want to do what is right but I struggle with desires and female companionship. I often pray to God to help me be happy with where I am ...

This past couple years the more I read about eBay I am finding out that they seem to be upsetting a lot of their sellers. With fees and automatically returning customers money that complain about any little thing. I completely think that internet shoppers need to be protected but when you buy from online auctions you have to expect a ding or a chip, especially if it is USED! Nevertheless, I have been known to shop online quite a bit and I came across a new online auction site called SWOOPO. It is kind of cool. It has a nice clean look and is easy to navigate so if you are maybe looking for a new place to shop check it out. Register at Swoopo.com now for great discounts!

I spent some time contemplating what it would be like to be loved unconditionally. Sometimes I struggle with the desire to be loved and hence my pursuit for a mate when I realized that I already have that love in my life. I know God loves me unconditionally but I struggle with receiving that love. I know through miracles and circumstances in my life that He is looking out for me and all the blessings He has given me but what about human companionship? So it hit me… As I am watching Madalyn run through the play ground, I have the proud father smile going, Madalyn is that reflection of unconditional love. No matter how badly I have screwed things up she comes back to her daddy with love. Sure there are times she doesn’t like me and she makes that perfectly clear but I know she loves me as I love her. I have been looking for something that has been right in my face for so long. Its so weird how that happens. The biggest blessing that God has given me was a child that loves her da...

I am not one of those people who like to stir up trouble or do I like to go against our government but over the years I have become aware of so many things that just aren't right. I have lost faith in our government and I guess that is alright because we all know that the Lord has to return soon and He isn't coming to a world filled with joy and peace but a world in crisis, sin, and hate. I thought long and hard about adding the following videos to my blog in fear of offending people but I really think there is a lot of truth to them. They are disturbing to watch and stir up emotion, at least in me they did but it is important to know what could really be going on. I can't believe that the world crisis we are seeing is an accident. We aren't that ignorant or stupid to allow this thing to happen again and again. It was planned! Revelations is happening right before our eyes and it may be closer than we think. Please don't post comments to this post if they are...

For as long as I can remember I have struggled with getting a good night sleep. I have tried everything but recently I decided to give yoga a try. I have had hangups about yoga because of the so called spiritual aspect of it but I have found that there are programs out there that focus on the physical, no chanting or meditating. I have gone a couple times and I am impressed on the impact it has had on my body. I feel so much more relaxed, as for sleep I have noticed an improvement yet there is still room to improve.
