Well, I will say here what I said on fb. I am disappointed that there has been no response, except one, about my posting on Sunday about Singles and the Churches. I did not hear from one Christian (except the one I mentioned) or even one Church. I am astounded!
Do we (singles) not matter to you as a Church Body? Should we not be able to have time to fellowship together as singles? I feel like we do not matter in the church. If you're single and even close to 40 or over, well, forget it, we're not going to have any single activities for you.
So, I guess its back to the bars and nightclubs. Way to go Churches!

Singles in the Church
I asked this question on facebook yesterday and did not receive any responses. So, I thought I would try here and see if it provoked any response.
I am in my early 40s and single. I have been looking for a singles group at a church. I like my church and would like to stay there, however, they have no singles group either (and they are big enough for one). I have been attending there for almost 1 1/2 yrs off and on and asked several times about a singles group and they keep saying they are working on it, but so far nothing. I really feel like I need it. I have been single for 3 yrs now and its time.
So, I called around to some other decent sized churches here in town, and nope, they do not have singles groups. Then I called several large churches in the city next to us (which is bigger of course) and some of them do have singles groups, but they are only for those in their 20s and 30s, they do not allow anyone older in the group.
So, here is my thing. Why are churches basically ignoring those of us who are over 40 and single?? Do they not think that we need fellowship and time with each other? Are we supposed to go to church and wear name tags that say 'Hi, I am single'. I do not understand why churches are not reaching out to this group of people. They are missing out (the churches).
We need a singles group as much as the younger groups. We've experienced life; some of us have been married and divorced, widowed or what-have-you. It would enrich us to be able to get together and share our stories, some of us are still hurting, but also just talk about daily things and HAVE FUN!
So, can anyone answer me why churches seem to ignore those who are single and over 40? I do not understand it at all. They have things for kids, teens, young adults, etc., but nothing for us. It really kind of hurts me that there is nothing there for us. Where are we supposed to turn to? Bars? Dance clubs? The lonely hearts club?? I am truly at a loss.
Please, please, if someone has an answer or suggestions, please let me know because I do not know where to turn to from here. I honestly don't.

Obama
I would like to know why Obama is getting away with not asking Congress beforehand or speaking to the American people till 10 DAYS afterwards concerning Lybia! If this were a Republican, the Dems would be having a huge fit! Why does Obama get a pass?
Did he just wake up one day and say, 'Oh, I think I will send troops to Lybia'? There are I don't know how many of our planes in the region, 2,000 Marines on their way and "secret" boots on the ground already! Why are people not more up in arms about this? We should be. He has yet broken another Constitutional Law!
We have got to stop him and stop him now. He's already ruined our country enough! If we let it go on another 2 yrs., it will take years for us to repair the damage!!!
I am so sick of his smug attitude and his narcissistic ways. Its all about him. Not about the people of this great country. It's look how good I look on TV, look at the sound bite I said and they'll believe it, etc., etc.
GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND DO SOMETHING!
Get involved locally, state or federally, but we've got to stop Obama. I am about to go picket in front of the White House myself I am so angry. And what makes me more angry is that I don't see a lot of American people standing up and saying enough is enough! If you are, then speak up! SPEAK LOUDLY!
ONCE AGAIN I WILL SAY: IT'S TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY!

Middle East
If Obama says that we went to Lybia on a humanitarian basis, then what about the rest of the Middle East that is going through the same thing? Syria, Yemen etc. Can anyone tell me that?
I say we stay out of it all and let them fight it out themselves. As far as I know, there is no security threat from any of this, at this time, to the United States. So, what's the big deal?
And where do they all get off blaming Israel for all of this? Israel hasn't done anything, that I know of.
Give me your thoughts and questions. Do you agree, disagree, what do you think? I think Obama is an idiot, that's what I think. And he didn't go before the American people or ask Congress; that's a big no-no.

Lybia
Why are we in Lybia? Can anyone tell me? Why did Obama not address the American people or ask Congress before he and the others took this action?
Now that we are in it, our supposed "allies" in the endeavor are back-paddling like crazy. So, we are going to be left there with the English and the French.
Obama has no plan. He doesn't know what he's doing and we are going to end up in a big mess! Once again the Idiot runs the White House (and went to Rio while all of this was going on).
Duh!

Well, Well
The Middle East is blowing up; gas prices are skyrocketing; Obama and Admin are in Contempt of Court over drilling. Obama tells people to put off taking their vacations and then someone from their family went to Colorado to ski!
He has not said a word about the Middle East; about the reporters who've been assaulted and sexually assaulted; he has not said a word about the 2 border guard agents who were killed in OUR COUNTRY (New Mexico), seriously this dude out to lunch! And he's secretly meeting with lobbyists!!
And how in the world did Rohm Emanuel win the Mayors race in Chicago? Last I heard, you had to live there a year before you ran for office. Then it was in court and it didn't look good for him (and I might add, wasn't fair to the others), and the next thing I know, he's Mayor. Guess the mob and good ole boys network is still alive and well up there.
Hmm. Good ole' boy network sounds like here. Doesn't it just make ya sick?

Egypt
What will happen in Egypt? What will it mean to that country? What will it mean to the Middle East? What will it be to our country. Pay attention to what is happening there.
