:wave: hello Callie, Welcome & Hope you enjoy yourself on BB forum.

Goodness...from the above comments there appears to be a lot of female Christians on the look out. (Think you're right Spikylass, another thread would be interesting).
My pastor once said that his father gave him advice years ago....

"Son, don't look around for a partner, look up and He will send you an angel"......."and He did".

Of course the response was as follows:

Females: @^@ :-(
Males: :puke:

Must admit, we did a survey in our home group on Spiritual Gifts and Celibacy came out as one of my highest scores, so I'm obviously quite enjoying it right now. Think my concern would be, okay jogging along with things quite happily, then will have marriage/ kids RIGHT NOW (meaning few years time)....& I know that is selfish of me. (and prob a bit unrealistic). But hey, celibacy is not that bad I guess, could think of plenty worse things could come my/ our way!!

::lol:: ::lol:: ::lol:: ...I know, let's move off this subject matter. (Bored already!!) Thanks A ()^

Another Q: During the last year or so I would assume you have learned a great deal through your experience(s)....if you could pass on any words of wisdom what would it be? If it were the case that adolescents could learn from your experience, what bit of advice would you give them?

Sorry guys for straying off the thread...... :oops: :oops:

Chad go onto http://www.laterooms.com, put in UK and Aberdeen and date and you'll get a listing. Bound to find somewhere (plus maybe a bonus and get a discount). There are many places in Aberdeen to stay....depends on budget I guess.

Aww don't say that! If it makes you feel better I haven't read the other book! :-( Gonna have to get it now though, sounds fantastic! :D

About the meet up, there are no firm plans as yet. End of April/ beginning of May would be grand for me too because I have so much planned until the middle of April. Of course if you come up for the weekend I would be happy to show you around Aberdeen! ()^ I have to warn you about our weather though, we can get 4 seasons in one day here so be prepared for anything! ::lol::

God bless,

Suzanne (SJC)


If you have a meet up here PLEASE don't make it the weekend of the 30th April/2nd May.... I away that weekend and it would be such a shame to miss it.


OK. Remind me I have a brain like a sieve, or is that a sieve like a brain?! ::lol:: ::lol::

I have stayed in the Hilton in Aberdeen and it is pretty posh! I worked there when it was a Stakis. ()^ That's where I met Peter Andre.

Sorry again guys about straying from the topic...

That's where my friend was staying on Saturday night and I thought it was nice. It's the Travel Lodge on Bridge Street, can't get any more central if you ask. Not sure if there is parking though, do you know Fudgie?

Hey we have to meet up when your in Aberdeen Fudgie if you can! ()^

I would tell them that you only get one shot at life so live it! Over the past year I've learned that living other people's lives for them does not work and only causes stress for you and for them. Case in point is my oldest son who left school with good grades, went to college and failed. I was gutted and nagged and nagged... then one day I realised... hey it's his life, let him live it the way he wants to (he had found a great social life). I can't make him happy, only he can do that, and with that realisation came the revelation that that applied to me too. Upshot is that I took voluntary severance from the job I'd had for nearly 11 years and now I'm looking of a job I WANT to do rather than one which will pay the bills.

Sorry you asked yet? ::lol:: My son has been working in Asda, LOVES it, has a great social life and is very happy..... however he's going to apply to college again to do a music course because that's what he wants to do, not what he thought was expected of him. I learned a very good lesson.

Will let you know when I'm up there Suzanne ()^ We had to park in one of the multistorey car parks. Got a little confused about the pricing and ended up having to pay about 30 squids! :eek: But would recommend it for a night out in the deen ;)
