[Faith-talk] thanks...regarding online dating.

Amy,

Its obvious you're lonely too. I hope things work out and  you find a mate, 
if that's your desire.

As I reread your message, I think you're refering to job training.
You said
"I apply for jobs but can't get them because I don't have enough training."

I am in a similar situation. if I apply for what should be entry level jobs, 
I'm turned down due to my inexperience and lack of training on certain 
software platforms. In college, I did a number of internships, but some were 
of little benefit to me because they did not give me much to do; those were 
the federal jobs btw.
I keep being told to have experience, but I need a job to have experience. 
Anyway, I'm volunteering in the hopes of getting my foot in the door. I'm 
also praying about where God will use me.

Anyway, its obvious you can use email and probably have internet skills. 
This opens up a number of opportunities to you. IMO its much easier to solve 
your problem of a job and job skills than finding a mate or finding 
transportation to churches.
After all, there are a number of online ways to obtain training; some 
blindness specific, some are not.
I plan to enroll in Hadley's business fundamentals class and the one about 
finding employment.

You can also take online classes, assuming you have funding, since most 
schools offer classes online; I bet you a community college near you offers 
business classes and may even have a program to teach you to run your own 
business.

I hope things work out!

Subject: [Faith-talk] thanks...regarding online dating.

hi everyone.

thank you for all your thoughts and opinions about online dating.
sorry it took so long for me to reply. I have been very busy these last few 
days...
it sounds like you guys are all split on the subject.
I don't remember who said it so I'm sorry but I agree with you about it 
being hard for us to get to places like church where we can meet people. :(
I live in a small town in IL near saint Louis MO. I have to ride to church 
with my family and we only go to church on sunday morning. no sunday school 
or small groups, or wednesday night services...
there are no buses that come to this town. well, ok. there is 1. it comes at 
6am and returns around 6PM. there is a taxi like service for disabled people 
but it only takes people to a work place. no church or recreational 
places...
I have thought of and feared all of the things you guys have mentioned and 
that has been what has kept me from joining an online dating site along with 
being unsure as I have said if christians should do so...
I guess I should just be happy where I'm at...but sometimes I just feel so 
stuck if you know what I mean...
I apply for jobs but can't get them because I don't have enough training. I 
went to college to be a children's pastor but churches won't higher a blind 
person because the parents in the churches don't believe blind people can 
take care of children. And I am stuck living at home with my parents because 
without a job I can't aford to get an appartment closer to a good bus 
system... :(
sorry to vent but that's just how I'm feeling right now... :(
