I don't how much more I can handle. I pray every day that things will get better, and they just get worse.
Yesterday, for example. It started with a hearing related to my on going divorce. A divorce I never wanted. The judge awarded my wife temporary support in the amount of all money I have after my bills are paid. Prior to that my attorney had his law license revoked, and I have no money to retain another attorney. My credit is wrecked, my family is gone.
And last night, my old dog died in my arms. I am so alone and don't know how much more I can take.
It seems that God has lost track of my soul, that he has forsaken me. All that is left is my work, and I no longer get much joy from the job I love to do. I need encouragement. Any Freeper friends out there?
Where are you, I would cook you a good meal if you are close enough, sorry about your dog, I know I love mine.
Looking forward to the day I can sing the Roy Clark song “Thank God and Greyhound You’re Gone”
Now it’s more like Commander Cody’s “Down to Seeds and Stems Blues”
How can you say that? Matt, Kitty, Doc, Chester, Festus, Quint, and all those others. BTW there was an episode in season 8 that had all five of the above characters in it.
Getting in my convertible 69 Beetle and going over to see a friend. That should lift my spirits.
Correction, all 6 characters.
Good. I will keep you in my prayers.
If so, I sincerely apologize. That was my take away.
You don’t need no stinking bankruptcy! You need to go to Alaska like I did. New name a little face hair and a cabin in the woods. No body wants to know nothing about your former life in Alaska. Half the state is hiding from something so make yourself over.
Engedi, your reply was so heartfelt, I’m glad you got away from a person who sounds so dreadful and found happiness! Just posting to make sure you realize this was fredhead’s thread (hey that rhymes!) All prayers will be well appreciated by us both, I am sure!
I’m going to tell you straight up.
Do not off yourself.
The reason? Because I came so close....it was God who sent someone to tell me specifically not to do it. You are reaching out for a reason to live.
The first reason is to say NO to Satan.
Your first victory from the depths!
Seek help in church and the bible....such good advice from people here!
Rejoice in knowing that your suffering will actually strengthen you.
They ways of the Lord are fustration to the world but refinement for the soul
who anticipates Gods glory.
I have been suffering in unemployement these last few months.
The timing the circumstances all add up to a difficult climb but, God has gotten me through it and even though I am still looking I am in a much better place then I was thinking I would be when I was at that low point.
Prayer will be said for you. Be expectant and may your actions be done in faith instead of doubt.
Forgive, ask the lord to help you to remove things that separate you from him and ask that he would bless you.
Jacob wrestled with God and told him he would not let go unless he blesses him.
Thank you for posting your thread, it has helped me too.
Try mixing in Boston’s “Don’t Look Back” every other song with Commander Cody until you can progress to “Thank God and Greyhound” (a profound song imho).;)
Some great advice on this thread. Things will get better. It sounds like you already have some positive ideas.
Will pray...keep us posted!
Since we’ve been given such an excellent FRAMEWORK to work from, which is the US Constitution, given to us by those Founding Fathers - it makes more sense to kick out the ones who are ignoring our existing structure and foundation - than it does to scrap the institutional framework and take our chances with killing, violence, mass mayhem and destruction of our existing society.
We have - in no way at all - reached any level similar to the Founding Fathers. They were working from a “completely different system”. In our case - we are not.
Anti-Christian much? Seems like I was correct in my earlier assessment. May your words fall on deaf ears again.

Good idea. Or how about Angeles City, Philippines? You can live like a king, on a pittance.
Good for you! Hope you’re having convertible weather, today and this weekend.
Hi,
I’ve been thinking for almost an hour about what to say, over a cup of coffee. There is a lot of good advice here.
My heart is breaking over the loss of your dog; my beloved kitty went to the Rainbow Bridge on New Years Eve and I’m still grieving.
Last night I had one of those dark nights of the soul. It was awful. All I know how to do is get down on my knees and pray. Sometimes I’m praying until my legs are asleep and I literally cannot move them. Anything to get rid of the demons.
I’ve read Job. Right now my beloved father is not doing well, he’s probably going to be gone by Christmas. This scares me. It scares my mom.,I just keep thinking of Job, and a quote by Nietzche, “ that that doesn’t destroy me will make me stronger”. Maybe it sounds better in German.
All I can tell you is this girl in NJ will be thinking of you and I know you will get through this. And thank you for service to our country. My dad was in the army. I have nothing but respect for those who served,
