What has the last five years been to you? Life? Faith? Love?

[Assuredbyfaith]

So, I looked up the last time I was on here...apparently that was some time in 2009! Sad! Sorry, I got distracted by life! I hope that all of you have been well and blessed? My life in the last five years has been amazing, strange, beautiful, stressful, hard, overwhelming, blessed...and so touched by God! I don't deserve it; but he has brought me through so much!

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalms 18:2    

So, Happy New Years!!!  May you be blessed abundantly!!!

BTW, What's a Blessing Meter? That's something new to me.

[Assuredbyfaith]

Oh, wow! Y'all expect a body to read a discussion with over 500+ posts in it? I don't think I'm going to be able to catch up with all that's gone and been!!!  Ok...someone give me the short version of all the hottest topics!!! Preferably in a single post!! All five years worth...don't leave any of the best out!!

BTW, if you haven't noticed I have an accent...yep, I've been in the south too long!

I'll recap, since I'm a Southerner... In the last five years, I found this place and blessed y'all with my presence. Truly a blessing for you. All else is unimportant. 
And the blessing meter is a way to recognize my greatness, by "blessing" me hourly. Each "blessing" of Roscoe should be immediately accompanied by a "smite" to Seth, Mini, or the Fuzzy Beast, aka Purple Fuzzy, aka practicalme..
And that's a recap.

But,
If I  "smite" you...your blessings and smites will be in equal amounts!!!  Then you could focus on truly walking "humbly" with the Lord!! Right?
That in itself would be a blessing!

Question! I was reading the stats page; and in 2013 it's says there were 26,000 new members. How come there are only 190 now? Where did they all go? What was up with 2013?        

[Assuredbyfaith]

I should be blessed since I  created the first 3 discussions of the new year!!!   
Or I should get a prize!!!

The last year has been very hard and a time of testing.

That TERRIBLE logic earned you a "smite". May the fleas of a thousand camel infest your armpits.

And if I remember right we had a "spam" attack- not the kind of canned meat mini thinks is delicious, but the computer type- and that many new members signed up in like two days. Kept Sir John and ol' Cheesehead busy deleting profiles I do believe....

You have been kept in prayer; through your FB friends.
This has been a hard year for me starting with two ER visits in July! Countless doctors, hospital visits, bills, debts...it's still a struggle with seemingly no end; however, I am alive!

I hope and pray that this year will see you blessed and victorious!!
God bless!

I thought God said you should do unto others as you would have them do unto you?  Using that truth; you should have blessed me!!!!

BTW~ I'm not the one who made your blessings and smites even out!!! Apparently some one else thought my logic was sound!!

This past 5 years has been a rollercoaster for me.  Thankfully I'm on top at the moment and I'm enjoying the view. lol  I'm getting some peace and comfort and rest and preparing for that next plunge. lol

Bah. I hate it when someone quotes scripture and shows me I *may* be mistaken.  And with this buncha clowns, there was no doubt that they'd be evil and strike out at me. I blame Seth. Or mini. Or Fuzzy. Lord, my list of suspect is never-ending....

I think you deserve another smite for accusing me.

Last five years....it's been weird.  And a lot of it's been a crock of pooty.

No, this is where you preach grace or mercy since even though he deserved it, I refrained.

Haha, I'm really just OCD and didn't want his smites and blesses uneven.

Your OCD must be having a fit...on account of your blesses and smites not balancing out!     😉
