		<description>Amias, I wish you peace and comfort as you go through this difficult relationship ordeal.  It is not easy.  May you find a greater awakening of who and what you are during this time.  Best to you always.</description>

		<description>Viola you are right on target --- I know this is an old post I am commenting on, but the subject matter caught my attention, as I am having relationship problems and had to make some critical decisions. Thank you for your insight.</description>

		<description>Hello Christian,

Thank you much for your kind words. Well, dating is a big subject.  I am not sure that I would be a good person to ask since I never dated before I married.  I had huge fears of rejections and shyness and I was too terrified to step out and trust myself.  

That said, however, I certainly would encourage dating...and dating the right people.  Certainly you want to be sure that you have some things that you can connect with.  If you are a strong Christian and that is important to you, then I am certain you would want someone that has the same believe system as you do.  There are many good people out there and Christianity encompasses a lot.  Ultimately, I would say, pray for guidance and trust your instincts.  

I hope this helps a little.  Wishing you the very best and good luck!</description>

		<description>hi people 
I whole heartedly love the layout of www.spiritualthingsmatter.com. Looks good, keep it up! 
anyways.. 
Im a very &quot;pure&quot; christian and I guess I have a few questions on my mind.. 
I&#039;ve been thinking a lot about dating.. but im not sure where to get going. 
My brothers have been telling me christian dating is the way to go.. so I&#039;ve done a little research on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.breakingthelight.com/?christiandating=517&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;san bernardino christian singles&lt;/a&gt; and found some stuff on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=breakingthelight.com&amp;btnG=Search&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;google&lt;/a&gt; 
Would be nice to hear your input.</description>

		<description>Ray, I am so happy for you.  It pays to have faith and I am glad you kept believing in that friendship.  May your friendship become stronger and more real than it was before.

I also am waiting for a friendship to heal and it looks that I have to build this bridge alone to the very end.  Pray that I will keep the faith and my strength.

Thanks for visiting my site!  Best to you always!</description>

		<description>Hi Viola,

You did it again. You writing is reflective as to what is going on in my life. A friend that I thought I had lost is now back in my life. I never gave up and at times I was building that bridge alone. But, now we are mending the friendship and things are looking good.

Thanks for your thoughts.</description>

		<description>I agree with Jimmy. Viola, you have an amazing ability to put your thoughts in such simple and clear pictures. This is very moving.  By the way, I also love this song by the Judds.   Thanks for putting it here on your site.</description>
