EVEN THOUGH THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A "BAR" ON THE WEB, I Remeber and all that read the Bible know that Jesus hung around with Sinners even Mary (not His mother Mary) was a Prostitute. So posting "dating information here is'nt against Biblical Principles. Therefore here goes my profile: I am interested in finding the Woman that God has intended for me to join as my life/soulmate. So let me start by making a feeble attempt at a "dating profile" I am 35 6ft tall, 195 lbs, hazel eyes, light brown hair, and a medium build. (Large shirt, 33 waist/34 lenght pants, size 12 shoe, size 10 glove, size 7 3/4 hat). I work with my hands(digging pools and doing construction work) for a living giving me better than average strength and muscle build. I am a Pastoral Counsler and have a Doctor of Divinity. I am quaiified and certified to perform any protestant religoius act (marriage, baptism, etc..) If you just want to talk, and need somebody who will not judge you, and who will keep your confidence (secrets), providing you don;t tell me you are going to kill somebody, I am trained to give you all the religious counseling and am bound by law and clergy privelage not to disclose any information you give me. If you are interested in me let me continue with my values. I have no problems nor see any reason there should be any problems with age in dating providing each person is at least 18. If you hae a problem with age, I apologize, remember that Mary was 14 and Joesph was 50 . My mom was 16 and dad was 21 when they were married,(they've been married 41 years), I know and believe that Age (other than what is defined by law as 18) is a level of maturity, personal behaviour and knowledge. I have seen 40 year old women act 12 and 20 year old women act 40. It is all a matter of if you choose to live inside or outside the "box".. If the math bothers you then I am sorry to hear that and I hope you eventually learn not to be controlled by what everybody else thinks is "normal", but to be controlled by what the facts that are in front of you make you actually see. I try to look at a person by their brain, personality, desires, and them as a whole, not their birthday, race, social status, or anything else that may be considered as profiling somebody without jnowing them first. Next if you are looking for the impossibile perfection in a relationship that you see on TV and movie romance stories then you need to log off, rent a movie, or read a book; But if you are sincere and you are truely looking for somebody to spend the rest of your life with, somebody that can and will make you happy, then read on. I am in no way perfect, but i do have values "like" i don't cheat and no matter how brutal, i believe that honesty trumps all. I love children although I have none of my own (only 3 step daughters that are 18, 21, and 22 living in louisiana and wyoming) . I believe that Love is something that is built and not something that is "on first sight" ( I believe that you can decide on first sight that a certain person is somebody you could love though), I do not believe in allowing any material things or money be the basis of a realtionship or allowing them to define me in anyway as a person, I believe that phsical contact like touching, caressing, hugging, kissing, cuddling, massaging, body rubs, or any sort of non-verbal contact (sensual not just sexual) is essiential to maintaing a healthy relationship. I firmly believe that a couple that can pray together, will stay together. I firmly believe that verbal communication is extremely important and failure to speak what you feel, can and will destroy a relationship. I believe in no sex until a comitment to God has been made. Therefore I have been celibate since 2002 when my ex left. I have made many poor choices, judgment calls, and trusted the wrong people which has led to divorce, and other problems (ask and I will tell) >>>>>>> I am a very deeply rooted Christian, and have been an Ordained Reverend(non-denominational Protestant)since 1992 . I am Pastor of a Ministry (not a Church) I am also a Pastoral Counsler. I am forgiven, not perfect. There is only one who was and is perfect and His name is Jesus. So many people profess to be Christian yet they choose to judge others, or to profess ideas that are in the direct opposite of the Bible, negleting the words and teachings of our Saviour. Besides "to whom much is forgiven, loveth much; to whom little is forgiven, loveth little" This is why I know the unconditional Love of my Father in Heaven. Remember you can be honest, or choose to live in a made up online fantasy world that will crumble in real life (build your house on the Rock, not the sand) . .I only Love God more than the woman I am with. So unless you want to feel loved, and have no doubt that your loved even when things are at there worst, then you might want to look elsewhere, but when things appear to not be good on the outside, I will make sure you know they're good in the inside...... If you just want to talk about God, you can contact me also, since that IS my work. I am here to help if I can. PS I just had surgery 6/12/07 due to a car accident (a guy on a cell phone rear-ended me) so don't mind the neck brace.. it comes off 9/04/07. Please feel free to laugh, comment, be serious, curse (if that is what your driven to do), or act in what ever way you feel is correct when your done reading. I have nothing to hide, so ask anything and I will answer. In Honesty.... Carl
