Roscoe's on duty, better toe the line, in Sharing 469

[mini]

I would like to report that Roscoe is MIA.

[MsJennJenn]

So?

:oceans:

If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking 

[kkay]

Things are getting better...slowly. Been thinking a lot about someone I used to know.

Hope everyone has a good day.

:oceans:

If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking 

I've been thinking.
I'm not sure I like that line in that song.  If it's grace we're in, I don't think we're sinking...

Yea I'm not too keen on this song either. lol

And if we take it THAT literally- how about "Covered by the Blood"...gross.

[SippinTea]

I wouldn't mind sinking into grace. *lol* But I know what you mean.

And yeah, some of the songs about the blood you can't think about too literally, or....

[RainbowJingles]

Well, we can "sink into" a bed of down, or "sink into" a recliner.

But I must say I don't like verse 2 of that song, myself.  Heaven meets earth like sloppy wet kiss? 

I skip that verse when singing the song, myself.

[Lynx]

I've heard some versions of that song where they change "sloppy wet" to something like "beautiful."  But it's a jarring patch job that fools nobody.  It just doesn't fit.

[awilkes05]

And all this time I thought that they were saying like an "unforseen kiss" lol. *shrugs* Oh well...

[RainbowJingles]

April: some changed it.  The one I first heard said the "sloppy wet" part.  I was like...  HUH?!?!?!   

[MelodyB]

I have never heard the "sloppy wet" version.

[Lynx]

"Then heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss / and my heart beats violently inside of my chest..."

That was the original version I believe.  No real way to fix it smoothly, best to just leave that verse out. 

[MelodyB]

The only version I've heard says Beautiful and it sounded good to me. I never knew it didn't fit there.

Having a miserable afternoon. We received a letter from the lawyer including a motion that was filed in court. They're reopening the lawsuit against Jeremy. I'm just.. mentally, emotionally, etc.. drained. I honestly.. wish I could disappear in a cabin for a while to escape all the stress we're feeling thru this and our zillion other obligations here. Between the financial and marital etc stresses.. ughh. I hate that Jeremy feels like HE is at fault and I hate that we're even facing this. I keep telling him he was doing the right thing.. she was his WIFE.. and he co-signed on a car. She took the car, they got divorced, it got repossessed, now WE are getting sued. I've spent prayer time praying for his ex-wife.. that she be blessed.. and her family be blessed. Honestly? I wish she'd get stuck with the lawsuit instead of us.. since she's the one responsible. God removed the lawsuit once - and we still don't know "WHY" the lawyers didn't show up. I'm still praying for his ex, praying this situation be resolved God's way.. and I want to believe He will take care of us even if the judgement is made against us. Not many "normal" people can just pop out $25000+ for a car they never had and won't ever have again.

So that's my miserable afternoon. I need a vacation, but who can afford one? haha.. 

[RainbowJingles]

SUPER **HUGS** Nelle  Sounds like you're having a really rough one.  So sorry.  Will keep you in prayer.

It's at 4:06.

This is the first version *I* ever heard.  Doesn't meant it's the original one, but here it is.

[Chseeads]

I wouldn't mind sinking into grace. *lol* But I know what you mean.

And yeah, some of the songs about the blood you can't think about too literally, or....

You all would have never survived under the Old Covenant...it was a bloody mess back then, if you stop and think about it.

I think we tend to envision the temple and the altar and the sacrifices and all that stuff very neat and orderly and picture perfect in our heads when we read or hear about it....but if you stop and consider how things really happened and played out, it was very bloody....  There were all kinds of places that they had to put and smear and dab and sprinkle and pour blood to purify things and people....etc....

Think about all the blood flowing from the thousands upon thousands of animals sacrificed at the dedication of Solomon's temple.....  Killing one animal makes a big mess.....  Multiply that by thouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssands........


Anyways, I've canned green tomatoes all day.  Lord.

[Heather]

The original version is sloppy wet kiss. I always imagine it as like a little kid kissing their momma or poppa. You know those baby kisses are sloppy wet kisses 

Work is ridiculous. Once I get my bill paid off there I will be seeking other employment.

If anyone watches the NFL....I can't believe the first game I got to see was that mess last night.....ugh!

Brandon brought up again tonight on the phone meeting me at church tomorrow night!! If you think of it keep him in your prayers.

Some dude that killed and dismembered a woman in town years ago has got released from prison and is coming back to town to live in a shelter.  Everyone is really thrilled about that, as you might imagine.

Thanks to y'all, I have been humming that song all day, and I very carefully passed it on to both Granny and Krissy. They were actually singing it before the evening was over, not just humming. So see? GP made a difference in my life today.

[almondjoy]

You'd better hide!  AJ where HAVE you been?  We missed you.

Just working and generally doing nothing.  Have been struggling with some stuff for a while, and need to just let it go and give it to God.  Sometimes, that's hard to do.

[Chseeads]

If a good beating would help, we're here to give it to you.
