Dear Deanna!
The holidays are over and 1 no
longer have a need for tny boy
friend. We dated during the sum
mer but as the New Year rolled in
I realized I don’t want to be with
him. The problem is the fact he
gave me some expensive gifts
that I d on’t feel I should return.
H e’s selfish and I know h e’ll
want the gifts back if I dum p
him. How can 1 end this relation
ship but keep the gifts? - T e e ;
O klahom a City, Okla.
DearTee:
Y ou’re very rude and don’t have
the right to discard this man like
a dust cloth. You were with this
man long enough to build respect
even if the relationship needs to
end. You need to close the rela
tionship with decency and give
him the courtesy o f know ing
why. If he wants the gifts back,
you should return them to avoid
conflict. Besides, there’s noth
ing too expensive that you can ’t
work hard and buy for yourself.
Dear Deanna!
I'm in a serious relationship with
a prisoner. I visit him weekly and
now he wants to get married. I
love him and want to be with him
but I’m scared. I’ve never been
married and would prefer to wait
for him when he gets out in 7
years. He thinks we should marry
now for benefits and income tax

Dear Anonymous:
You need y our head exam ined
if you d o n ’t get it. He placed his
d esires for financial gain on the
table in plain view . It w ould be
m ore accep table if he professed
faith, love and devotion but he
d id n ’t. You need to w ake up
and see how crazy it is to w orry
a b o u t lo s in g s o m e o n e w h o
c a n ’t do anything for you but
talk and w rite letters. If the
love is so strong, h e ’ll w ait for
7 years because h e ’s not going
anyw here no tim e soon.
Dear Deanna!
I love going to church but I'm
losing my faith. Everything in my
life is going wrong at the same
time. I lost my job, my girlfriend
and my desire to enjoy life. I was
drinking heavy for a w hile and
my friends left me. Now that I’m
dow n on my luck everyone has
disappeared. How do I get my
self together during a time like
this because I’m really com ing
apart. W here do I start? -N e a l;

Dear Neal:
W hen the en em y a tta c k s he
seeks to kill and destroy. D ur
ing perio d s o f d istress, lack o f
hope and the good tim es, you
need to pray and lean on your
faith like th e re ’s no tom orrow .

and clean sin g so you can trust
in G od as He prepares you for
