God Bless. |
Unfort, looks like I need to be out Sunday night. and lack funds to do much. Please friends, prayers needed AGAIN. I have some stuff for sale too. Love everyone. and Thanks in advance. Prayers and all work well together! GOD BLESS
|
Unfort, I did some lies, and hurt my friends inside. Made mistakes and am ashamed, tho none of em were "bad". they still hurt. I am basically out of money and may have no place starting tonight. I NEED prayers and well wishes from all my friends on here.
Have a blessed Easter all. and remember our love for Baseball and each other. Hope it'll pull us all through.!!!!! |
Scott:
I don't know you outside of a few transactions on BST, but I'm going to make a couple of suggestions. First stop with all the "need prayers" nonsense. Nobody is going to provide you a greater blessing than yourself. Second, Vince Lombardi used to say that a true measure of someone is whether they make the most of what they have. So take what little you have and make the most of it. Then build on it. That is the best advice I can give for someone in your situation. Remember that you are only a failure once you decide to quit trying. |

In your post above, you said you lied? I am not sure how old your are but based on your life experiences that you have told us about, I would think you would know by now, that lying is just going to lead to further problems, no? :confused: With no money, etc, I am sure it is not easy to get some help, but you need to exhaust all those avenues in an effort to get yourself better. Coming on here asking for prayers for 2 yrs or more is only going to cause you further grieve as most people are going to react negatively towards you, especially, when they read about your lies and realize most of your problems seem to be self induced? Imo, and this may be harsh, but I can't help but think you seek attention and love the drama you currently have in your life? As was written above, you need to do some soul searching, reflect on your past mistakes, and figure out where it all went south on you, then, and only then, can you get on the right path and move forward. "If you think the way you have always thought, then you'll get what you've always gotten" Good luck. :) |

well said everyone, but its just awful hard right now.

I'll pray for the GrayGhost. Why not? I like his scary name. I'll even dust off the ol' Ouija Board and see if I can get connected to Jesus Himself. I'm due for a supernatural chat session, as I haven't contacted the dead since my famous Toad Ramsey seance a couple years ago.

Scott,
Also do not know you, but offer this: 1) Find an appropriate 12 step group (God knows there are enough different ones around today) and work the program NO MATTER WHAT: 2) Take actions aligned with your integrity (presume lying and a couple of other things your alluded to in your posts are personal integrity violations for yourself - you lied, but do not want to live as a liar) 3) Take actions in the direction of what you believe to be right and what you want. 4) Put the outcome of any of those actions in God's hands Fully believe prayers and support help, but also believe that God helps those who help themselves. The actions are ours to take, the outcomes are God's to make. God doesn't do it for us, he does it with us. The foregoing statements are entirely my belief and opinion and not intended to offend anyone if you believe differently. |

I'm not an expert on your problems (or much anything else) and you've probably received this advice many times in the past. It sounds like you need temporary homeless shelter and, assuming you're not physically disabled, gainful employment. If you've not tapped out family and friends, maybe temporary financial assistance is available. You've got to rebuild your life one step at a time. Maybe after a couple months work you would be in a position to rent a room. It seems to me that the last thing you need to be concerned with is dealing baseball cards.

Hey Scott,
I have met and chatted with you at the Mansfield Flea Market here in CT on a few occasions.. I have enjoyed talking with you and have admired your knowledge within the hobby. Head up my man, prayers sent.. |

If "baztacula" ever hits rock bottom any time in his life, I hope his sick sense of humor helps to pull him up.

GrayGhost, I have a friend who is a pastor in the Metro Detroit area and we were talking about meeting up next week. While I think I saw you are in Connecticut, it's possible that he has connections with someone in your area as a lot of these pastors know each other. I could ask him if he knows anyone you could talk to or if he has some advice. He's also a big baseball fan, appropriately enough. What city are you near? Send me a PM if you want.
|
GrayGhost, I sent you this in a pm but I'm also posting here because maybe someone on the board knows a pastor or a church in the Middletown area.
Here is the response from my pastor friend... Well, a few years ago I knew 2 Connecticut pastors in Wallingford CT. Not sure where that is relative to Middletown. However, they've both relocated -- Chicago & Minneapolis. What he needs is a fellowship/church to join. This is just one of the reasons why the church exists. If he were in my church our people are very loving and provide the safety net that this man needs (in terms of transitional struggles, food, clothing, shelter, etc.) also many have been hired because of church connections etc. The church isn't a "welfare system" or a way of dependent life--more of a hand UP. But I can tell you I've bought many $500 MEIJER GIFT CARDS for those in need that demonstrate a desire to participate in the church community. This man probably needs professional help from a trained Christian counselor; more than a just a pastor. That's what my daughteris going to school for. Hope this helps. Pastor Steven |
