you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink, and you can offer a Simon help but you can't make him take it. I say that is why Lemongrab was shown trying to make a lemonhorse drink water he'd led it too.

tumblr needs to understand that seeing the scantily clad women in the Tumblr Live thumbnails gives me The Ick and that them actively unsnoozing tumblr live after 7 days is a blight that we shouldn't be subjected too.

#Why give the option to snooze if snooze is not permanent? #there is no point! Make it permanent! #If it dies because all of tumblr puts it on snooze and doesn't want it then maybe it was a bad idea #merkerler speaks

How is "you should only want to look at your partner" such a hard concept to understand?

Yes I know sometimes people can still be attracted to people outside of their relationship.

- Do not indulge in the attraction and at least make attempts to distract your mind if thoughts DO enter it.

Yes I know it can be difficult

- Just because something is hard does not mean you should not do it.

If you want to think about someone else, indulge in thoughts about or look at someone else, you are not exclusive to your partner at heart.

Even if you're attracted to other people, why do you WANT to indulge in thoughts or imagery outside of the person you're supposed to love?

This is a part of love. Even if you feel attracted to someone else, you have chosen one person. Don't be selfish - stay loyal to your love both physically and at heart.

If thoughts of someone else enter, look away, distract your mind, at least try to replace the images in your head with the person you've promised monogamy.

"Look but dont touch" is pointless. Because even if you're not touching, looking is still indulging in someone else.

Its even okay to recognize that someone is attractive, pretty, handsome, good-looking, all that is FINE. But not only should it not go past that out of love and respect for your partner....

But those people do not deserve to be unnecessarily sexualized by people they dont even have an interest in that way just because they're pretty.

#i just do not get it #the only arguments i get for it are just....selfish #'oh im GONNA be into a guy moaning when he does push ups' #Okay but if youre into that you should have more interest in your spouse.... right? #'Its not that easy sometimes' never said it was #'Sometimes a person just drives you crazy' if its thst big a deal do SOMETHING to lessen contact with the person #Stay loyal! #merkerler speaks

Christians in fiction that are also immortal, incapable of dying but still believe and choose to follow Christian beliefs anyway would be.... incredibly interesting I think.

Under another tornado watch. I've got 3 day-old baby goats Im trying to keep alive, one's being supplemented with a bottle, and the last storm that passed through tried to flood their stall. I'm a bit exhausted, but managed to get in 2 hours of sleep.

I'm so glad I've gotten comfortable with asking for prayers on here. I've exhausted myself making sure those babies are okay between storms. I pray God keeps the water out of their stall so they don't get cold and wet, especially since if it's raining Im NOT going back outside. Dang my feet hurt.

....Prayers please. I just found out I, a woman in my early 20's, have osteoarthrosis in certain areas of the body & my TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) has more than doubled in the last 3-4 months.

#The hormone thing had me shook. It's over 3x the normal range #I'm not giving specifics in order to maintain some level of medical privacy but like #Merkerler speaks #prayer request #Christian

on a scale of 1-10 how silly would it be to ask folks to pray that I find a piece of jewelery I lost. It's not particularly valuable monetarily but its very precious to me and Im afraid I lost it outside of the house. I cant find it anywhere it should be. It could be in the pocket of the either the pajama pants or outside pants I wore the last day I saw it (the 19th) or it could be buried under something in my old bedroom, or it could be at my friend's moms house or somewhere between here and there. Trying not to stress over it but its just become precious too me.

#Its just one of those shark bracelets from one of those scam ocean charity sites #But I have used it as a grounding tool to help me focus when I need to get my head on straight so its been through a lot with me #a replacement just wouldn't be the same either plus I don't want to give more money to scam charities than they already get #and writing this out is helping me calm down about it #as Im writing I realize that I tend to freak out a lot when I realize that something precious is missing and can't chill out until I find i #and thinking about it. I know exactly where that stems from #not something I ever considered before but a lot of things precious to me got burned when I was little #and at one point I repressed the memory and would search for things that got burned up for hours because I had no idea where they went #but yeah anyway Im gonna try to chill. It'll turn up Lord willing #Im just scared I lost it in my friends old house or somewhere between here and there and I'll never see it again #I do not like it when things like that disappear I do not like it at all #I just worry about all the possible places it could be lost forever in or where it could have gotten ruined #I also just have ADHD forgetfulness so I get paranoid I left it like in a walmart bathroom or something #I know I didn't but I have almost lost things that way before #Like even if it is just gone and lost forever I just want to know where it is #merkerler speaks #prayer request #bc I am spazzy about these things #need to be careful about it bc it mirror's some of my dad's OCD tendencies

Im thinking about going to church tomorrow for the first time in a while. There was a game night there yesterday my mom & friend went too. It was her first time in a non-mormon church, and she is very willing to go and learn.

Pray for her. She's getting into church and with any luck it'll be a motivator for me to go back as well. I don't activly try to avoid it- I honestly just forget about it & my family doesn't go often so it passes my mind but this girl needs to go and we're making the effort.

#merkerler speaks #again I am not dissing mormons but it drove her away from God #at least the way she expirienced things
