Okay, YOU try rhyming "70." :P
Get the dictionary and look them up f'heaven's sake.
Trying to educate us?
Looks like I'll have to go look it up. :smirk2:
Actually I just couldn't think of another rhyme for 70. And being talkative IS better than keeping it short, for a sharing thread. :hypocrite:
Okay....what about "pwns"?!? :pound:
In police parlance - 10-22. (Take no further action). I've got it.
Is it sad, and telling my age, when I admit I knew what "Loquacity" was, but had to google "pwns"... :laughhard:

Do any of my musical friends happen to have the chords/lyrics for the song "Touching Jesus (is all that really matters)"?
I don't have chords offhand, but the words are:
A woman tried many physicians
But grew worse so to Jesus she came
And when the crowd tried to restrain her
She whispered these words through her pain
Touching Jesus is all that matters
And your life will never be the same
There is only one way to touch Him
Just believe when you call on His name
I was bound when I knelt at that old altar
But they said Jesus could meet every need
And when this sinner finally touched Jesus
He set me free, praise the Lord, free indeed
Did your guest arrive, Isaac?
Aye, and taught me how to make fried pies. They were pretty good, but I have now had enough of oil and grease for some time to come.
She should have brought you farm fresh eggs from the Snoozin Goose Ranch.
Yeah, she said Seth thought about that right after she left. Ah well.
If she were going there from here instead, she could take him some bread. My freezer is once again full, she only wants two loaves and I have a lot of bread that is homeless. And I can't currently pay shipping to send it to anyone either.
I totally overslept this morning. Till 7:30. But I am sure I'll still be early for practice that starts at 8:30.
The perks of living at church. :bigcheese:
Weirdo.
w2cch
Kimber and I were the only source of music at church today's :o
Chel has gone, and so is the bread. Maybe she'll find a home for some of it at her next stop.
Now to go fill up a pick on Chel thread. Or maybe two. :cool:

Not quite.
She was on keyboard and I was on drums. That was all. Our regular drummer was absent and our organist/music minister was also absent. So we did everything.
I think it went ok. Haha.
Hello everyone :hi:
The boys are cleaning up the kitchen, and I think I shall now go take a nap and be a woman of leisure. :cool:

Sometimes I think I like animals better than people. You don't have to worry that a nice friendly dog will be biting your ankle once your back is turned. If a dog is friendly, he's friendly. If a person acts friendly to your face he might stab you in the back, literally or with gossip, once it is turned. Just saying.
I remember a tale about a guy who called ahead to make sure a motel would allow his dog to stay in the room with him. The hotel owner answered, "Sure, we love dogs here! I've never had a dog try to sneak other dogs in, steal a towel, play loud music at 2am, get drunk and go around knocking on other guests' doors, clog and overflow the toilet, break the shower head off or anything that comes close to the trouble I've had with some humans. By all means, your dog is welcome to stay here. If your dog can vouch for you, you can stay too."
I've said before, it's easier to clean up after animals than people. :smirk2:

I'm tired. Just got up from a nap and I'm still tired.
Went to church. Felt bad. Was also depressed and wanting to just run off and hide in a cave.
A talk with Bro Papa helped, then he preached. He started out plowing my cotton, then he and God meandered down a siderow. 'Fore they got done, they flat tore my hide up. :laughhard:
Lord, but I needed that.....:pray: Thank You! :pray:

Been there multiple times. Will probably be there again. It can be depressing that sometimes God has to teach me the same lesson again, but I guess I should be glad there IS another perspective to change to.

Got a call today from an Aussie friend. So cool!
Also got a call from my brother, who had met my Aussie friend quite randomly. He was quite excited. :-)
Learned today that my 19 month nephew is learning to "juggle."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dp2eQUT6TI&playnext=1&list=PL79C3CD67C3115B43&feature=results_video
If you watch this video, you will see a bit of what my sister-in-law was trying to teach two young people about juggling when they visited a church on an evangelism trip. She started with two balls and was just showing them some basic workshop type of stuff (I don't think she juggles, but I'm sure she's at least picked up a lot from watching Wil teach).
Recently, my brother and sister-in-love have observed little man holding random objects in both hands and saying "tro tro kech kech."
I'm not sure how long they were confused, but it has finally become crystal clear. He was imitating his mom's juggling lesson and saying "throw throw catch catch" while holding his juggling objects. He just hadn't figured out how to let them go quite yet. lol
NOW, my brother is reporting that he has figured out how to let the items go, and they are sometimes being catapulted across the room, into the air, or just simply falling onto the ground. It's quite the journey, though, as the other day during dinner, he announced from his high chair - with a mischevious grin... "tro tro kech kech." I'm not sure what landed where, or if they caught him in time. I was laughing too hard to ask.
I get to see little man and his mommy and daddy in just a few weeks. SOOOOOOOooooooo excited!!! :hyper:

Oh yeah... you probably won't want to do ALL of that at once. :bigcheese:
Actually I was thinking the "sleep" would cancel out both the "bored" and "tired" at the same time.
That would work... but it won't help the hungry part.

Did anyone read my nephew story??
I am short, fat, and sassy! Life is good... :lol:

Hi Elona! :hi:

Elona - Yes, I'm blaming Little Bean for all kinds of these things days. But so is everyone else. ;) Jason (uh, MY Jason, btw) told me the other day that he "needed a second helping of dessert, because Little Bean said so." *gigglesnort* And yes, I read about your hilarious nephew! I guess I just didn't comment. Oops. ;-)

I still need a snack.
And if y'all will...please say a prayer for Justin. Their house was broken into and a bunch of stuff stolen tonight while they were at church. :sadbounce:
And yep, I read the nephew story. Twas cute!
So Gooby, how far long are ya?
12 weeks. Almost exactly, if my midwife is correct. My due date is April 22, supposedly.
:beret:
P.S. It's been a long time since anyone called me that. Thanks for the grin. ;)
But she will deliver on April 20th. Little Bean told me so. *nods*

In the news, I hear gas is up to $4.70 in California? Can anyone out there verify that? :o
Feeling sickly today. Got some info that kind of made me upset.
Can barely keep my eyes open.
*Looks for yawn smiley..gives up because she's too tired*
I have a case of the "I'd rather do something else" than work, haha.. but that seems to be a daily problem with me lately. :)
Currently, I have our Vice President's Yorkie (Roxy) in my window sill feeling the fresh cool air breezing in. Almost lunchtime, so that's a plus. :)
I took vacation this week. :D
Can I get some of the work hours you would have, had you been there? I need a few extra hours. :teeth:
Not in the best of moods today..
My friend was moving towards God for some time and it's like he just decided to give up and poke holes in his self and wear blinging things and come close to getting a tattoo... But wants to tell me whe I do wrong... BLAH...
I wanna rip his head off..
I'm at that point to where I just want to walk away from everything and everyone all over again..
Why can I NOT have vacation?!?! I jus want to get away and think for a while with no help.
I feel worse today than I did yesterday..and yesterday I took medicine :roll:
Once in a while if I'm not careful and tilt my head down I get a water fountain from my nose.
Hoping things will continue to get better. Seems like there will always be setbacks.
*HUGS* Kimber.
Well, it looks like it's about that time again, based on all y'all's manifold woes....
/me shoots everyone. :fire:
My work here is done. :hypocrite:
You miiiiiissed me! Is that because I don't have any woes? Do your bullets hit only woeful people? :P
/me reloads for WC......
I dunno... Every time you use the acronym WC I think of Europeans. They use WC as shorthand for "Water Closet," aka the bathroom.
Maybe he's drinking a lot so he can go... :hypocrite:
No that's frogs, not felines. Frogs sit around drinking water all day just in case someone picks them up.

God is so very good. My sister, the new convert ministered to me today. It was directly in the HG. There is no love & care that we give to others that is not recompenced manifold. It doesn't have to be, we do it unto God anyway, right? He's done more than enough already to be forever thankful, right?
Yes.
I am so appreciative that God doesn't merely rescue me, but often answers my prayers with the opportunity to see how to get out & not return. I'm so thankful for the Godly council He's put all around me. So that if I really want Jesus as my Lord daily & not just my eternal saviour, I know the resources. Not "Lord, fix this." but "Lord, teach me." I can fight the demons in the valley or work hard to climb to revelation.

Wow. I missed alot today. Sorry everyone is having difficulties.....it WILL get better.
I made it through the day in an upbeat mood, helped immeasurably by texts and needed emails from good friends and then a nice phone conversation from my Virginia brother, aka The Velvet Sledgehammer. Got home and mowed the yard, then ate the dinner my wife had prepared for me. Wish I could afford to keep that woman at home cooking for me everyday....... :fork: 'course, if I did, I'd be alot closer to 300 lbs than I am currently, and that don't need to happen. :biglaugh:

Melodya, was it a bit of a shock to be ministered to by a new convert? I'll confess it has been for me this year. We had a very new family coming to our church, and I suddenly found myself the recipient of a huge outpouring of help and encouragement and hope from this gal who was a baby Christian. It was startling. I'm so used to being on the other side of the fence, and being the one trying to "be there" for new people. Any encouragement I get myself usually comes from friends/family that have been in the church at least as long as me - or often longer. At first it felt... odd, somehow. But then... I just realized God sent me this beautiful friend, and that He speaks through anyone that belongs to Him.

Leave it to Chel to turn a potentially crummy day into a good one :-). Enjoyed time with my friend, today.
Isaac - You don't know me but I (April) was one of the lucky recipients of a loaf of the bread you make :-). Thanks! I have never tasted anything other than store bought bread so it was a different experience for me.
Mel! I though that Chel had you with her today! Lol. I was getting super excited. But it turns out that you are not the only Melody in Chel's world lol. When she told me that we were meeting "Melody" to hang out today, it obviously wasn't you, but her sisters' SIL. *sigh*. That's okay though. She was cool people too :-).
Um...hello everyone :). I read this forum on a daily basis but very rarely post anything. But I thought it would be kind rude to not speak after having you read all of that haha.
*nods wisely* Yes, April. If I'd had to read all that without a personal message from you, I would have been TERRIBLY offended at you. *nods wisely again*

:beret:
I have a friend just like that too! She's a joy to my life!
Well, yes and no. Somehow, I'm so dense that I'm so often in awe of how good God is and how He reminds me of it with kindness. I have found a great deal of sweetness in new converts that truly have the faith of a child.
But this time, this is my sister. Who I have been speaking into for years, and specifically for the last 2 years. Actually, I cannot even type this without weeping. See, I have been talking her through hangovers, quitting smoking, military experiences no female should have to face, things that defile a woman's very core. She has been open with me about some things and I have interceded for her in more. She came to visit and I got to worship next to her as God filled her with the Holy Ghost. We have countless Bible studies over the phone while she has been stationed across the world. I have got to be a part of her life, mostly by phone, as she's gotten married, committed to Christ and a GOOD church, developed healthy Apostolic relationships with peers and mentors, and is becoming quite the soul winner, and now expecting her first baby. I've invested so much into my sister that at times it left me realizing how great my own lack it is and I follow with prayers of "Oh God, let her take the good things from you from that conversation and not the carnal/ignorant things I said."
But today, today my sister spoke exactly in the Holy Ghost. It might as well have been a preacher. It might as well have been my pastor. She was anointed. She was speaking a truth, and speaking it to me and neither her nor I knew how timely and spiritual it was until it was said. I've been praying some things, like we all do, and out of the mouths of babies... I say she is a new convert but today she was an anointed woman of God speaking into my life. And I can't help but be utterly overwhelmed at the goodness of God. Both to me and to be able to watch GOD grow a life in Him. She has her own walk, she hears from God herself. Yesterday I would have told you that nothing could bless me more than to know she has got it for herself. That she has more than me to lean on. And today, WHAM. Jesus just outdid Himself. I feel humbled. I feel like I just watched God increase her.
See, no doubt from the very "beginning" I felt like the Lord was going to make her into something far "greater" than me. There's no question the ministry she is being groomed for exceeds and expands beyond what I can ever do. Not because I'm selling myself short. No, not one bit, I just see a glimpse of the gifts and elevation God has for her and eventually her husband I believe, when he chooses to try Jesus. And it is a beautiful thing to behold. I'm in awe.
All is better.
It's amazing how a few hours with Granny and being AWAY from my parents can change my whole day.
I need a vacation soon!

Melody were you and Kimber on this trip??
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Glad you enjoyed the bread, but... candy? Chel brought me a couple of chocolate bars, but I don't recall giving her any candy. Did Grandma whip up a quick batch of peanut butter fudge while I wasn't looking?
Protip: Slice the bread about half an inch thick, sop in egg/milk mixture and fry as french toast. Very good with some real butter and real maple syrup.

Brannon too.
Could use some prayers today. Bad night no sleep. I feel like a zombie. Headed to work soon.
And Seth.
Not to mention Don and CR.
She didn't get to see Kimber. Just me.
My debit card number has been stolen and been used in Philadelphia. Oh and I'm having bad reactions from pre-cancerous happening in places unmentionable. My mom wants me out of her house and my boss wanted to fire me. Life's peachy.......
Ugh. Woke up late. VERY late. Still managed to make it to work on time, thanks to an absence of troopers.. :P If I'd drove the Corvette, I'd have been early, not just on time.
Now I am fixing to start work..... Thank God for Dr Pepper.
Sorry for everyone's issues......
*HUGS* Heather
Ive already done a lot this morning.
Washed clothes, took dad to dialysis, went to the grocery store, came home, cleaned the kitchen, put a whole chicken on to cook in the crockpot, made pasta salad, boiled some eggs, cleaned out the fridge and re stocked the drink fridge.
Now I think I'll lay back down till time to go get dad. :)
Good morning GP. :yawn:
I am tired. But I love my dear snoring/gasping for air- husband.
Well, pooty.
Feeling a little better today but that's probably 'cause I took some medicine before coming to work.
Still super tired.
If y'all could, please pray for my bf. He's very depressed and not sleeping much. Seems like his dreams have been shattered and there's no hope for his career.
Desperate times.
I'll pray he finds Jesus cause that is where true hope is at. :great:

Everyone's tired today!
I'm tired, but I know why. I ate a lot of that tweaked chocolate pudding, ran out of caffeine halfway through work last night, had to eat more chocolate, and when I lean on caffeine to get through the day I always feel bleh the next day. So today is the next day and I feel bleh.
All those jalapeno combos I ate right before bed probably didn't help any...
Your eating habits cause me to cringe. :-?
Bio test tonight. Sigh.
This semesters gonna get the worst of me. I do believe it's trying to kill me.
and I have a class that hasn't even started. It starts 10/22. :o

That would never happen. I hate direct chocolate like that. I'm not a big chocolate fan.
I like select chocolate candy bars, that have other ingredients mixed in. But not just plain chocolate.
I don't like brownies, or chocolate pie or many chocolate desserts either.
PLUS one bar of that stuff would take almost half my daily calorie intake.
Not happening either.
:pound:
So, so bad for you!

Glad you enjoyed the bread, but... candy? Chel brought me a couple of chocolate bars, but I don't recall giving her any candy. Did Grandma whip up a quick batch of peanut butter fudge while I wasn't looking?
A chocolate orange thingy.
That made it there?! How? The first time I sent cinnamon rolls I sent a whole pan and it didn't last long enough for her mother and father to get even a sniff. I thought the white chocolate orange would be gone before she got out of Tennessee. :P

Bad? Dark chocolate is GOOD for you. And the darker it is, the better for you. Haven't you heard? :cool:
Nope - all I see is the 230 calories it is for four small pieces, and I pass.
I'll stick with sugar free candy. :)

And by the way, they are composing the tale of my fictional social life in the Founding Bachelors thread. You're in the wrong thread. :P
My day improved terrifically. I have always been a pushover for old folks, and just met one of the most delightful elderly ladies I have ever met. Arkansas' Poet Laureate (arkansaspoetlaureate.com) Ms. Peggy Vining came to the capitol to pick up a Governor's proclamation. She was here a day early and stopped to talk with me about her worry of finding a parking spot tomorrow.
I quickly told the spry 83 year old lady that we would find her a spot to park if I had to tow the governor's ride myself. I enjoyed a very pleasant visit of nearly an hour with her. I've never really been the poet type, but I went to her website and read her poem, which was coincidently on Petit Jean........Awesome. :clap:
I'm fairly certain it was better than "Here I sat all broken hearted..." :biglaugh:
Definitely. :lol: I was impressed. She told me she and her husband have been married 63 years too....Having persuaded my wife to put up with me for the past nine, I am in awe of people who have made it that long without killing their spouse, or in my case, being killed by their spouse. :laughhard:
Just as long as your wife doesn't watch CSI, or Criminal Minds, or any of those kind of shows, you're probably safe.

I have a kink in my back. You should probably come back up here and and crack it with a hug.
See, I TOLD Meller that marijuana was a gateway drug. Now she is soliciting crack. :noo: :nono: :noo:
Sad.
Sitting in the waiting room at the doctors office. I hate the way people glare at each other like why are YOU here. It's unnerving.
Make faces at them.

My sister has cancer, and is currently doing the chemo rounds.
Praying for you, Heather.

Yes, it is. Since the tweet was sent out by Bedford, United Kingdom's Police department, I assumed it had to be Mellow Yellow's kin. :ugly:
And Heather- praying for you sis. Wish we were closer and could help you some. We may not have tons of cash, but we could rustle up some meals and bring you a jack, that kinda thing.....At any rate, you've got our prayers.

Thank you all so much!
I'm finally home. My night in a rusty falling apart Honda Prelude appeared and I took my jack back.
My sister is home apparently. At least her car is here which means I'm sure mom whisked her out to eat somewhere.
And to top it off my cat hurled on my bed so now I have to wait for the washer and dryer. Mom is refusing to turn the heat on and it dropped to the mid 30s last night. I couldn't sleep because my joints ached so bad.
But tomorrow is Wednesday, I get off work early, and Brandon is meeting me at church.
Bless all your hearts, especially VetClinicGirl's.
Dropped off some eggs at the nuthouse and met the boss at one of my Dollar General stores where we had unresolved issues from when the department was redone that nobody ever got on the ball and resolved. (Meaning somebody other than me with the decision making power, that is....) We fixed part of it, and he has to check into seeing what is going to become of the rest of it. He's a nice guy, but he sure is not as picky and a-nal as I am... And I know more about building fixtures and displays than he does....bless his new heart. He gave me an annual review too. He doesn't know if we get raises or not....I guess that's something that comes from higher up the chain. I would like one. lol Probably be meager pennies if it is, but shoot, I'll take anything I can get. :smirk2:

Got me some chips. Nathan is already asleep. I got virtually no sleep last night and drank a couple cups of coffee today so now... I'm awake. :o
I think Nathan should go in for one of those sleep studies maybe to see why he snores so much. I tell him to roll over on his side and he does for like 5 min. and then rolls onto his back again. So finally, I taped his snoring and every time he rolled on his back and started snoring, I just push play and he automatically rolled back over! LOL This morning he did not find it as amusing as I did that I now have it recorded.
Sounds all ornery and funny but really, when he gasps for air, it startles me. In fact, often I'll wake up because I don't hear his snoring, and it'll be because he's not breathing and about to gasp. It actually worries me. I think I'll lay hands on him and pray over him tonight.

That sounds like sleep apnea.
I'm going to go spread cheer.
Or manure.
Bout the same.
Off to see about a part time job working for Republicans till election day.
At work. In an uncomfortable amount of pain due to the skin scrape yesterday. But being at work is better than sitting at home with my mom and sister. She went on her rant last night telling me how pathetic my life was with mom just sitting right there beside her. I'm just at a loss.....
Heather, it's hard to believe family can be so unloving. Sarcasm is a survival defense & offense reaction, passive aggressive. I understand. I pray you can get away from all of it & everyone & be submerged in a healthy church culture that so supercedes what you've been raised in that it jump starts a character of Christ in which puts a fork in your decendents family tree, if you're family is not open to be converted right now or by you.
God did that for me. I could not see how to not to be in the disfunction until God showed me it done right.
Jesus has so much better for you, sis.
*HUGS* Heather

The last two days were totally frustrating. And exhausting. Hoping for a better day today. Feeling very drained and attempting to stay focused on the GOOD things in life instead of allowing the frustrating things to pull me lower.
Nice thing to have friends trade you prayers, eh? :) Seems like a lot of people are having a really rough week.
:beret:
Bio test I thought was last night - is actually tomorrow! Wooo...more time to study, since I didn't really.
Bio lab midterm next Tuesday.
Math midterm next Wednesday.
By Thursday I shall be dead.
But in greater news - my newest baby love Mr. Grayson Scott Ouellette is set to arrive any time today!!
:clap: Can't wait!!
This place is dead today.
Hopefully I will work for Chick-Fil-A in the morning and Republicans in the afternoon tomorrow. Seems like a simple job with good pay. I hope they call us.

Had a nice talk yesterday. Well, not entirely nice. I still feel like the scum of the earth but I think that'll probably last a while.
Today's at least going by fast. Gotta figure out some dinner ideas.
Any suggestions?
I hope that being positive doesn't get on anyone's nerves. I'm not being irreverent to everyone else's rough times, I promise.
2 days till moving day. I have so much packed I can barely function and yet there is still more. I am not a pack rat whatsoever. I'm not terribly sentimental about material things, I am about people and places. So I'm asking myself WHY I save the things I do? I have like 20 tea plates... lol Because someone gave them to me and I'm just sure there is going to come a time when those will serve purpose for fellowship...lol The same with my, Idk, 15 glass ice cream sundae cup-bowl thingies. I will use those before the tea plates though cause I'm am determined to have an ice cream social. They're heavy and breakable. Why am I keeping them? Seems like such a waste of a thing to give to Goodwill. I'd rather give stuff to people directly.
Give 'em to me! They'd come in really handy for our family get-togethers. :D

ok then! Haha, I was gonna tell yas anyway.. lol
Last night's midweek service was a game changer for me. Did I use that phrase correctly? LOL
Pastor taught on God being manifest in the flesh. He pulled out all kinds of scriptures that I did not get all written. The point of the lesson was that God manifested Himself in flesh, among all the other reasons, because the High Priest had to be one of the brethren. It had to be someone who was "touched with our infirmities." But on that, of course through the New covenant, it went to a whole 'nother level in that He truly was our brother, our friend. I have heard it ALL my life. Jesus is a friend, I am a friend of God. And perhaps I cannot fully explain it because I personally feel like I got a revelation, a deeper one about oneness, and about what kind of God, He really is. I'm telling you today, I feel like it should be a holiday. I feel like shouting the whole live long day. In my time this morning in prayer, I was literally belly laughing. I don't recall that ever happening in my personal prayer time before. I feel a joy, maybe even a deliverance.
It was a simple and profound lesson last night. It wasn't a shouting service, or really a particularly "super spiritual" move. But I am forever changed!
I have criticized slave mentality, partly because I've struggled with it. The mentality that God is so great and mighty, HOLY, high and lifted up. That I am so very unworthy. That if I want God in my life I need to be so far abase that I'm practically ground into dirt. I recognize my own pride and despise it, no one could be harder on myself than I and that is the way it should be. I also, long so much for a Father relationship that I never really had. For God's approval and favour. And God does fill in every gap. Who knew that what I still needed in my Lord was a friend? A brother? I didn't. Until all these scriptures lined up and showed me, God wanted to be more than my King and I more than His slave servant. Oh to be even a servant of Christ is more than I could ever deserve. He has blessed and loved me more than anyone else my entire life! His rod is never cruel, He is a strong but gentle Shepherd. Why he gives the time of day to this goofy simple minded sheep, is beyond me. Seems if I'm not starting to wander off from the flock that I'm surely bumping someone in the rear... lol I'm full of flaws.
But it hit me like a ton of bricks last night and more fully this morning. God manifested Himself in part to be like me, to lead me to His magnificent glory. He didn't strike the devil with lightning when he tempted Him. No, He used the Word every time so that I would know His Word is more than enough. He was utterly exhausted at times. He refused what was medicinal, on the cross so that He could feel every last pain of sin. My sin. He did not commit it, or get any of the futile pleasure from it but He took the eternal consequence of it.
I'm just... I'd say beside myself but I don't know that I have felt more saved in my life with an acute awareness of the presence of God. All that work to be abase, and He wants to be my friend. It wasn't in vain, but it fell short even. It doesn't make me reverence God less, it makes me reverence God more, but with a completely different view of humility.
Jesus truly is the sweetest name or anything I know. Not that concentrated chemically sweetness of candy/junk food, but an evened balanced gentle sweetness of fruit, where you could completely get full and it not feel like junk food overload. The taste never wanes.

I like this idea. ALOT!
So thankful for my church! I know I'd had my issues before but essentially God put an attitude check into place and afterwards a lot changed. Sister Ketron [pastors wife] came up to me before service and just held my hand. Once music started she pulled me out of my seat and said 'Let's go get some prayer'. I love that woman. So the women of the church gathered around and prayed for me while the Pastor prayed for me. I'd been a bit reserved about worshiping when Brandon has been with me but tonight I didn't care [and neither did he :)]. God just gave me a great sense of peace about life. He works ALL things for those that love and obey Him :cool:
After service we had a birthday party for Sister King [the sweetest woman on the face of the planet!]. As we were walking out of the church building Brandon told me that was the first church service in 12 years that he's felt something in. I about started shouting in middle of the parking lot.
Awesome!!
WOOT!! *does a victory dance with Heather*
Now THAT was a great end to a somewhat difficult day. Glad I stopped back by here to read that. :D

Yay for the good things, boo for the bad.
But I'm going to shoot you all anyways, regardless.

At work all day then going to work on the bathroom at Brandon's house. We're shorthanded today but I'm working with my favorite other receptionist so it shouldn't be bad.
Still excited about what God is doing.
Heather: You give me hope :) Love that post. Sounds like a great church service!
And holy cow...a bird just skimmed the window :o Made a whispy noise.
Ok ok.
Got some good plans for this weekend. Getting more info on some job stuff. Still praying and hoping and praying some more that something works out for him.

:pound: :pound: That is especially wrong since I am wearing a shortsleeve uniform shirt. :pound: :pound:
Just had a ham and egg and cheese sandwich on sour dough toast for breakfast. Thanks, Isaac.
Fuzzy: Got any more of that ham? I'll be right over. :D
Roscoe: Misery loves company. I'm hating my sinuses, now you can hate them too.
Jenn - he's darling!
Hubby went off to work this morning and left his lunch and tea sitting on the table. Oops! Hope he has his wallet with him....
:beret:
I really want some tea.
Melody, have you not received any special mail recently?
Remember that discussion we all had last week on the lyrics of that "How he loves us" song? Haha

Off to the new gig. Still feeling terrible. In Jesus Name off I go.....
I thought it was "sloppy, wet" or "beautiful." How would "unforseen" fit the context of the song?
Oh well, sometimes people get desperate to replace embarrassing lyrics with anything handy I guess.

I've heard some sing it with "unforseen".
YouTube it and see how he sings it for yourself!
Like I said earlier, I've only seen "beautiful" used.

Nelle's tired. Ready for the weekend.. even though it's going to be busy! :) Section 1 Fall Party tomorrow night, Saturday morning we're going to Cape G to go to Le Bounce with our Sunday School kids for 4 hours, and then that night, we're going with two friends (who are married to one another :)) to a bonfire at their family's house. We get to meet Logan finally! (Their baby they had in June/July.. They live in St. Louis.) Hopefully somewhere between those two appointments on Saturday, I'll be able to go through Colorfest (a crafts/art festival) here in town. Hopefully! I love it!
Ready for a nap now. Too bad I get off work in... an hour and 45 minutes, haha.
btw, MY.. I noticed on Facebook that you graduated from Moline SH. We were in Moline just in August for Investing in Futures conference. :) Neat place.
Awesome! Actually Nathan graduated from that particular school but I've lived in both Moline and Davenport. If you ever go back, Whitey's ice cream is A-mazing and only local. :)
May turn in early feeling bad still. Worked both jobs today and a got rear ended by a guy on a motorcycle. Severe sinus issues on top of all that and i am just whooped. Prayers appreciated. goodnight.
Went to work. Came home just in time to go to church, and come home.
Found out my uncle, mom's sister's husband, passed away this evening. He'd been in various stages of ill health for quite a while.
And in lighter news, took chicken, duck, and quail eggs and quail to the Asian lady this morning.... When I was on her porch and she came out, I kept getting this horrible overpowering whiff of what seemed like cigarette smoke, but couldn't figure out where that could be coming from... I didn't notice anything but the smell... But then she pointed out to me, fearing I had noticed the smoke (which I hadn't), rising up from the back of her neck.... :freaky:
She had some sort of apparatus under her shirt, on her back, just down from her neck, with something burning in it. She called it by name but I don't know what it was. A Chinese pain remedy for back pain.
:o
Yeah, we don't know anybody around here that would want something like that, do we?
Maybe. :hippy:
Tired. All partied out. Glad Chel only has one birthday a year. ;)
:grin: I am thankful for awesome moms and friends who help out with cleanup!
Bedtime.

Going to pick up WAYNE.
:frustrated:
I feel sorry for him, and we are all he has, but he's taking advantage of Dads friendship, and dad is blind to it. I talked to dad about it last night, and he doesn't see it.
All we do is haul Wayne around this past week.
Shoot him.

For once, I agree with the cheesemeister. It is a sure fire remedy if done right, and you won't hear them complain or take advantage again. Seems perfectly reasonable. :hypocrite:
Morning, all. I got up, took Chey to school, took the Corvette by a dealer friend who was interested in it and now I am at the library. I told God this morning that while I personally was not in love with selling my Corvette, I would attempt to do so, and if it were His will, the friend would make a good offer. If not, I would take it that God has another plan in mind for easing our debt load.
My buddy drove it, liked it, told me it was the right color- thought he was buying it. Then he looked at me and said " I would, but I have too many hotrods." Did not even make an offer. In ten years of us buying and selling to each other we have never failed to make an offer, even if it were ridiculously low, and he has never had "too many hotrods" In fact, his usual attitude is much like mine. Too many is just enough- nearly. :teeth: ....so, God must have other plans.
We are not in a postition that we will starve if the car isn't sold, but it would give us some extra jingle at the holiday season as well as wipe out credit card bills....Regardless- I did my part- Dealer, Craigslist, ect...
Now that I've agreed with Cheese and bared my soul, I am off to find a good book.
:yawn:
At work.
Today started eventfully with Brandon calling me at 7:15 am that his spare tire was flat. Yes, I said spare. He had a tire go down a week ago. So I had to go pick him up and take him to work. Now both his and my flat tires are loaded in the back of my car. My hope is they mate and make new tires for us.
Mom got mad at me for eating the last poptart out of her box. She had 2 more large packages. I didn't realize THAT one was hers. Sheesh.

As my grandpappy usta say... there's a cotton pickin yankee in this group! :P
I tend to always get "hunches" about things...or feel like something is just meant to be.
Well, there's a job that I think he could get in a different state. Not EXACTLY what he wants but pays as well as he said he would take. I also looked at my job's job postings for internal positions. There's 4 in that state...and one is the same as what I've been doing for over a year now.
*prays*
Please God...pleeeeease. This would be fantastic.
I also looked at apartments there...for a 2 bedroom (which is what he would need) it's only around $600-$800. That's cheaper than here. He could even get a condo.
*prays again*

Seth, I am sending you a present. One teen boy. To help you on your bird farm. Work him hard, feed him well, and keep him for.... oh, say about 5 years or so. :updown:
:beret:
That would help I'm sure.
Looking at some tickets for someone's birthday. Already got anniversary, which might not be as big of a deal this year.
Now just have to figure out what to get for Christmas.
Hi.
Busy busy...say a prayer for me guys. I need it.
:ugly:
Bye.
I have quite a few more smites than blessings...and I'm always requesting prayer. *hmph*
Will say a prayer, Minn.
Maybe we are attempting to bless you and accidently hit "smite"? :hypocrite:
Na, it's more fun to smite you. :P
Today has been productive. I've "smited" Seth twice, Mini, Jenn, KKay, MelB and Fuzzy Beast once each. Oh, and perversly, I blessed Psalms. Now to go smite Meller and I shall be content. :hypocrite:
I see how it is. *smitesmitesmitesmite*
Glad I got that out of my system.
It just hit me all of a sudden...as I was typing that...stomach pains. Maybe that's God saying stop smiting?

No, that's God saying "Stop smiting Roscoe. All others shalt thou smite freely." :hypocrite:
Oh, and.....I must needs repent to y'all. And for me to do so it is rare. Remember the whole hot-tea-with-milk brohauha the other day? A couple of threads ago? The one where someone might've call friends pansies, and hoity-toity, loudly proclaiming that tea should only be served sweet and cold?
Well... it is rainy and not nice here today. And cool. And I have been a tad ill-feeling. I found a box of "Celestial Seasonings" Cinnamon Apple Spice Herbal Tea that I had gotten sometime back. Didn't particularly care for it iced. So today I brewed a pot of it. Added sugar and a dash of milk to see what you nuts thought was so great.
The clouds parted,light shown around the cup, heavenly music began to play, and I heard a voice saying " This is My tea, in which I am well pleased." Well- kinda. The light was from my stove vent hood, the music was from the radio, and I actually heard" Sweet Lord, that is hot! And good" from my own mouth. Close enough.
I am a convert. And Lord, I hate admitting I am wrong. Maybe there IS a place for hot tea in wintertime....

How can ya keep 'em down on the farm, after they seen Paree? Not even two weeks it'll be since she got home, and she's going to be off again. No wonder we don't see her much on the forum these days.
Personally, I'd rather see her in person than on the board! The hugs are WAY better in person!
Wouldn't you agree? :freaky2:
In local news we now have Fridays off, for lack of business. And my minivan was at about 180,000 miles and still had the original spark plug wires/coil pack/etc. And I have the money to get it done, so I called my mechanic up yesterday and took the thing over to get it done today. The mechanic was in fact busy (all good mechanics are it seems...) but I said as long as I could drive it home before they closed up for the day I'd be happy.
In the meantime, as my mechanic is in a town other than my hometown, I decided to take a nice leisurely walk all over town and see what I could see. It's amazing what you can find when you're walking, with all the time in the world to look around. You have time to actually notice what is there, and it's a lot easier to stop and go in a store when you don't have to find a place to park. First I stopped at the power company to pay the electric bill. Then I stopped at Auto Zone to get some information on how much and how to use a tire plug kit, which I will surely need at some time in the distant future. Then I found a thrift store I'd never been in and got a few CDs. Then I found the used bookstore I thought had gone out of business years ago on the other side of main street - turns out she had just relocated and the people I had asked years ago only THOUGHT she had gone out of business. Then I found a mexican restaurant where they make their own flan. This is a big deal for me because I like flan, but most places around here get them already made, in little plastic containers, and when you order a flan they just pop it out on a plate and put a dab of whipped cream on it. So I was walking up the street, with a bag of books and a bag of CDs in one hand, a flan in a to go container in the other hand, eating the flan with no utensils. Yum!
By the time I meandered back to the mechanic he was working on my vehicle, so I retired to a desk in the back and edited a few albums I had recorded off old records. By the time I ran out of albums to edit he was done. :)
So I've had a good day today. I walked three or four miles, paid a bill, got some new music and books, found a source of homemade flan, got some music edited, all while I was waiting for my car in the shop.
Now I think I will lie down.

Whoa... In my meandering perambulations about town, did I walk through a portal to an alternate reality? Strange, this LOOKS like the home I'm used to. Maybe I landed in a parallel universe like they have on Star Trek every other week or so, where it's like the world you belong in, but different.
Maybe they're filming Sliders again and forgot to tell me I'm in the plot...
And I finally got to 30! Woohoo! :hyper grin:
It's a matter of visibility. The more you post, the more they will think to bless/smite you.

Yes but then she would be THERE, not HERE. I, my grandmother, my uncle and a lot of people at my church would rather she were HERE. But then she would not be there, or there, or there, or any of the other theres that correspond to the other members of this forum.
Hauled water and filled the cistern and drained and refilled the baptistry.
The missionary never did call....he had said he would come Friday afternoon sometime and park, cause they're traveling in a motor home.... Guess he changed his plan. :eyebrow:

We have a Leslie that looks just like that. We don't have that kind of Lily though.
We have two of those Leslies like that...and is it politically correct to have a dog on the platform? :o
As long as she's not a Democrat.
Dad got his power chair today...and I just spent the last half hour crusing around the church in it! It goes pretty fast!
Our new place has some steep stairs. My legs already are sore!
Whew. Caught up on sharing. Goodness, there's a lot going on!
Roscoe: your revelation made me really laugh. :laugh:
SippinTea: You'd miss that teenager. After about two years, you would realy wish he could come back home.
Jenn Jenn: beautiful baby!!! So precious!
HeatherB: Hoping we can see you for sure! Not sure when exactly we'll be through, but we'll give you the heads-up when we've got plans set.
Mel Mel: I hope things don't drive you crazy with your Dad's friend. Seems like if your Dad were able to do things for him, he would. Unfortunately, you may feel a lot differently than your Dad does/did about it. :headrub: Sorry, chica. Hope it works out.

Seth: :hi:
**HUGS** Taco Poor thing is miserable and has to go to work early in the morning. Ugh. I wish I could work his time FOR him! :sadbounce:
Called our insurance tonight. Not sure if the motorcycle guy had any insurance or not. None is listed on the paper that policeman gave me. Going to have to try to get the full police report in order to find out. The damage wasn't outrageously terrible, but it's probably a couple hundred dollars in damage to the rear bumper. Fortunately, a few years ago I added "uninsured motorist" insurance after being side-swiped when my minivan was parked on the street in front of the church (fortunately, the truck driver who hit my van stayed with the car until I came out). We'll see what happens. Praise GOD, the car is driveable, and neither of us are hurt... at least not majorly. I'm still feeling tense. Shoulder blades and back and neck a bit stiff and hurting some, but I'm not sure if that's stress or pain from the impact. It wasn't a terrible impact, really, but it did jerk the car considerably. The guy was apparently swerving/moving from lane to lane when I hit the brakes because traffic was stopped at the light. Scared the lily liver outta me! I was like... is he okay? is he dead? I called 911 and was trying not to sound freaked out, but it felt like forever before I could even think normally again. The guy was apparently okay, but his foot/ankle looked like it was in a lot of pain. The EMTs were having trouble getting his sock off, and he was cussing (not sure if that was about the pain or his bike, or the wreck, or what, though).
RainbowJingles: Beats me, I probably won't get around to listening to any of it for weeks. You wouldn't believe how many records and cassettes I have pending right now.
Weirdos.
Went in to work and got sent home. Not because I look and feel miserable, not because they were concerned I didn't need to be there, but because "I can't stand to hear that cough another minute". Yep, got sent home because me being sick got on the bosses nerves. Ugh..... somehow that made me feel even worse.
Merning one and all. Thanks for your prayers last night.
:hi:
We're burning stuff!! So far old, nasty carpet and the old couch. Next is the boxspring!!
Corn maze later with church peeps. Hope everyone is having an excellent weekend!
Off to work for the republicans a few hours if this cough medicine will work.
Spent the day cleaning out the shop.....didn't feel great but decided to push through it. Shop's clean and I'm whupped. Tonight is chey's fall Festival, and I don't think I'm gonna make it. Think I'll send Lou and Chey, and lay here at the house....
I've been busy today. :)
I have a few more loads of laundry to do.
But I have to say...vinegar is really worth it's weight in gold for getting out the smell of mold in clothes!
It feels like 7pm. I'm sitting down to breathe.
Ok. Back to work.
Ok no corn maze. We were making too good a headway at the house. We've gotten ALOT accomplished.
It's so dead around here today.
I got a lot accomplished today though.
I've kinda had a brain dead day. A mind-fully quiet one. Other than going to school to meet with my History group, I've done nothing. I keep zoning out.
My vacation is almost over. I'm trying not to think about it. *sigh
Howdy y'all. I've been at the church. Youth fundraiser, fish fry.
From the book of Isaac, chapter 7, verse 3: Blessed are they who stay after church dinners and help clean up, for they shall reap leftovers. :D Got two small bags of the pastor's hushpuppies, a quarter of an almond joy cake and a big bag of fries for the dog (because nobody wanted reheated fries.)
We watched the Dollmaker tonight on YouTube. Jane Fonda, 1984. Classic movie.
Stinkin' commy Jane Fonda..... :demand:
Went to church, had the Mondays, missionaries that have been in Panama and are going to Spain now, came home.
Yadda.
Well. For the most part we are moved. Now to scour the place we're in and scour the place we left. And still clean the church. Good grief.
I'm pretty sure a box is missing. But! at least it's not something dire like undergarments.
Our neighbor made us dinner. She is so very kind. Spaghetti, garlic bread, brownies. And we had pizza for lunch. It was absolutely ALL delicious. I'm almost completely sick from it but hopefully it won't last days upon days. That's a normal meal. Everything had gluten in it.. lol
Praying it won't bother you this time, MY.
Thank you so much PF.
God is good. Friends helped us move and they were so excited for us. It wasn't depressing at all to be downscaling. Smaller place, one vehicle. Surely we're going to get somewhere with all this effort.
It's so hard to stick to specific diet needs when moving and such. Especially when people are being so sweet and trying to help you out. Been there, done that. I'll join PF in praying God helps it be just what you need for now - or at least doesn't make you sick. ;)

Say a prayer for our church services tomorrow. The pastor and I are both very sick and the only other minister is working a 12-14 hour shift in the ER tonight. Pray for healing and a move of God regardless of all this.

God is good. Friends helped us move and they were so excited for us. It wasn't depressing at all to be downscaling. Smaller place, one vehicle. Surely we're going to get somewhere with all this effort.
Are you still going to have a place to grow your weed(s)?

Kimber brought me a donut today! Sorry Roscoe. :thumbsup2:
Went to church, came home, blah blah....
People are fighting on my FB status.... Somebody that's too holy for everything and can't find a church fit to go to because of it thinks I'm an awful person and him and somebody else are arguing about judging each other.
There are SO so so so SO many things I could say, but not a one of them will do me a lick of good....so I'm just letting them blab like raving loons.
Even though I'd like to shoot them all.
That guy doesn't have a sense of humor what.so.ever.
He must be kin to the nutcase woman that attacked you on the fb minister forum a while back. Idiots like that make it hard to not lose your temper and prove their point. Seems if he was truly concerned he would contact you privately and "in a spirit of meekness restore such a one".....must've missed that verse, ya think?:lol:

Church was awesome this am. I have chili going to take to Brandon's for him, his dad and myself later. Working more on the house. I've set my move date to the first weekend of November. Given the issues with my family I'm moving out there with them. I know it'll make some people shake their heads but ive even discussed with my/our pastor and its what it is.

Yes, that's he and his precious wife. lol :roll:
Sounds like from his status today that he's still wanting to start his own good, conservative church. They are actually attending the only one around that they think is worthy now, the one that is sooooo far away..... :roll: Or at last count that's what it appeared they were doing, who knows from day to day with them. :P
Take heart Seth. If it weren't for facebook he'd be hanging around town putting you down. Though FB is more easily accessible, it is being accessed mostly by people on the forum who, even if they did believe it, would be far away and irrelevant to what you are doing there in that town.
Short version: Better to have venom where it doesn't matter much than to have a lot of poison in your own well. :)
In local news, I had a perfectly good lesson planned for Children's Church. Then the Sunday School teacher taught the same lesson this morning. He couldn't have been reading my notes because I don't have anything written down yet, and what I do write down is just a few disjointed words to help me remember which topic comes next. Fortunately the kids were not in the class, they were in their own classes having a (hopefully) entirely different lesson.

I am going to be planting tulip bulbs in the next few weeks. That's about it. Tulips are my favorite flower.
*goes to look at Seth's posts* lol
Favorite flower, but not your favorite plant. :freaky2:
I took a nap.
Successfully not accomplishing anything that I needed to.... :smirk2:
I can smell the cigarette smoke from the neighbor in the other half of the duplex. He's a single guy with apparently 45 friends over today.
All the more reason to accomplish our goals!
And oh my goodness. I am so very thankful for a pastor! You know how you read the Word, and God speaks to you, works on you, it's such a beautiful wondrous thing, and yet the accountability and inspiration that a pastor brings is priceless. My pastor preached his heart right out and I felt like it was right to me. Yep, I already knew the subject, but there was a timely Word in it for me today. I'm so thankful. I literally sat there feeling the drawing of God to fast more and dig deeper in the Word. I feel like I am already a bit tenacious but I felt a booster shot of it today.

Are you sure it wasn't one of those Chinese medicine smoker things? I thought it was cigarette smoke wafting in from somewhere at the Asian lady's house the other day till she pointed out the fact that there was smoke rising from the back of her neck. :P
:pound:
Well, I don't really know what that is all about. I don't know much about eastern stuff apart from going to a chiropractor to get adjusted. Had I seen that though and had a drink in hand, I probably would have dumped it on her to put the suspected fire out. :hypocrite:
I didn't see the smoke until she pointed it out, because she thought maybe I had seen it and wondered what in the world was going on...lol I only kept getting a choking, overwhelming waft of smoke stench hitting me and wondering where it was from. lol
I'm not ready to go back to work :smirk2:
I don't feel too great.
Finally, someone as nerdy as I. http://xkcd.com/1121/
Morning, all. :waving: Meller Yellow's comment about putting out the fire caused me to soil my uniform shirt with coffee... :pound:
And in other sharing- I was sick as a dog yesterday. Went to church and taught a truly pitiful Sunday School lesson because our usual teacher was out of town. The lesson was a tad deep for me on my best day and yesterday was NOT my best day. We went home immediatly following, without hearing the preaching, and I took some Pentecostal Sippin' Whiskey ( Nyquil) and crashed. Woke up feeling much better...
And I have a praise report. Walmart had severly cut Lou's hours down to just a couple days a week, and those were weird hours. Didn't know how we were gonna make it. Lou was worried sick....I was too, but I tried not to let it show. I just told her God would provide.
She went in a while ago and texted me.....They had modified the schedule, gave her 40 hours AND for the most part gave her the normal 6am to 3pm shift she has had for years. God made a way once again..... :clap:
Isaiah 43:19 " Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
This has became my favorite scripture/promise for the last week or so.
I still contend that Wal-Mart is the lair of the Devil.
I shall just mask the smell of the neighbor's smoke with the aroma of BACON. (http://gfxlovers.com/smilies/imgs/girly/girly004.gif)
I'm off to start cleaning the old place and be there while the furnace man attempts to fix it. Nathan's parents are coming through this evening so we are hosting them.
Tomorrow I clean the church, although only half this week since the carpets are getting cleaned!! :clap: Prayer mtg tomorrow night.
Wednesday: pre-cook some things and ready this house for hosting a lady for our conference.
Thursday, clean the church.
Friday -Sunday: conference/hosting.
I'm penciling in a nap for next Monday... after I've cleaned the church.
I feel like taking everything in the garage to the Goodwill just so I don't have to unpack it... LOL
OH! And it hasn't really gotten all that cold this week, even the pouring rain on Saturday while we moved. The old place, 70° on the thermostat would keep the house barely uncold, WITH keeping the fireplace going once the outside temp got down to 40°. However, 65° here is too warm. Thank you Jesus. I won't miss the large utility bills.
It's that guy next door's cigarettes heating it up. :P
I will be SOOOO thankful to be in a place again (when we move) that has two bathrooms! That way dad can stop it up to his hearts content and the rest of us will still have a place to go. UGH.
I have been three times durning the night to the foyer restroom, in my sweatpants, like a heathen. :smirk2: This last time, Pastor was in ther foyer praying...most likely for my hellbound soul. But when you can't use the bathroom in your own dwelling place cause your dad continually stops it up, then what are you supposed to do?
Ugh.
I know...maybe too much sharing this morning. But this is ALL THE TIME this happens and I'm just a tad frustrated.
:flush:
Anyway! I'm gonna make beef stew tonight. Gotta go to the store and get some meat in a bit. It's gonna be GOOD!
That's crazy Mel! It's not normal to be clogging toilets all the time! Does he know THAT?! I would be having a cow. You are so patient.
Feeling kind of blah today. Nothing really wrong (except the usual) but still feeling a little down.
I'm soooooo tired. Last night I was feeling really stuffy and had a huge headache. We finished one thing though. Now to just finish everything else.
It's the pain meds he takes. I don't want to be vulgar, but it makes things very very hard and where it WILL NOT dissolve. No plunging, no kind of toliet treatment will help. Sometimes it's days before it will move. By that time, he likely has to go again. It's a CONSTANT battle. And patience? I have no choice...if I say anything, he gets MAD and screams and yells. It's really not his fault. It's the meds. And he has to take them to function. So what can I do?
I use the other restrooms and I vent here. Lol
:hug: to my Melbs
They need to make a pain med with a built in laxative...
No joke!
Melbs can he take a stool softener with the medication?
He does. Lol we discussed it this morning...he's taking double the recommended dosage. Been on those for about two weeks, still doesn't help.
*shrug*
It's just something we have to deal with.
Work woes as per usual. Nothing to do but shake my head.
I banged my elbow yesterday and its KILLING me today. UGH!
MelB have you tried those newfangled accordion plungers? We have one and it works great. Had to plunge the toilet the other day and a guy three doors down called us up - "Hey thanks, what kind of plunger was that?" :biglaugh: Okay, seriously... they do work well.
In other news, my pastor is getting a pacemaker Tuesday. This leaves a big hole Wednesday because he drives the church bus. I'd drive it but I work second shift. All the people who would be willing to do it are already doing a lot, and the people who aren't doing anything wouldn't be willing to do this either. :-\
He also preaches at the nursing home on Wednesday morning, which the activities director there asked me to cover this week. What can a comparative kid say to people twice his age that they've never heard before?
Just TALK REAL LOUD ABOUT JESUS so they can hear, and it'll be alright. :smirk2:

I know, I know, but at least relatively secure.
Doing a job nobody else wants can be a good thing. People hate doing my job because you have to keep up with two furnace lines. I mentioned once that I was thinking about putting in for a position in another part of the factory and my boss looked like he was having a panic attack. :roll:

I've only smitten once today. Got a lot of catching up to do!
And I'm still tired. My eyes are sleepy and my back hurts. Guess that's what I get for sleeping on mom's couch with my nephew. He has to sleep with me when I'm there because he has a mean imaginary friend that only comes out at nighttime. :o
Just smite Seth three times and Jen two times. All the rest of the people here are too cool to smite.
But if I do that, I'd have to wait an hour inbetween. I'm not that patient ;)
Off to study. Well, maybe in an hour or so. Got a big test tomorrow.

Woke up with a migraine this morning. Ugh.

The people who do nursing home services at our church are in their 20's and the elderly absolutely love them. They love their zeal and many of the residents have not heard or remember all there is about truth. I've heard preachers say we've all heard enough preaching to preach ourselves, but it doesn't make me need it any less. :thumbsup2:
I have a headache.
Going to bed shortly.

Sadly my gas tank contents won't even make it to work and back the next 3 days. I have no idea what I'm gonna do. My parents are in there eating subs and throwing out expired potato chips. I guess it's what's left of my box of cheezits for dinner....
Heather, do you not qualify for any kind of assistance even temporarily to help you get on your own?
I cut myself shaving my legs. I should just wax like Jeremy does. :smirk:
If I wanted to pop out a few illegitimate children and/or claim a physical or mental disability then yes. But being 29, single, working fulltime with no demon spawn then no. At least not in this area.
We dont have a huge house, or even a proper kitchen to cook in, but if you made it here, we would keep you fed and give you a place to crash for a few days. Ask Chel...that chase lounge thing sleeps pretty comfy! ;)
*HUGS* Heather
that stinks, Heather.
Nathan is usually late in getting in the spirit of the holidays. However this year he has already said he is looking forward to them. I'm sure it's not the Thanksgiving countdown FB page that posts pictures and quotes, or the faint Christmas music he occasionally hears. I'll win that boy over to being an early bird holiday lover yet! I think also, last year being our FIRST year ever to not travel up north and it just be us, not waking up in a hotel room or running around, or trying to buy a gazillion presents allowed him to enjoy it more.

I'd normally say this...and I might as the holidays draw nearer, but this year, I'll have my very own first apartment, with it's own tree decorated solely by me.
I.
Can't.
Wait.
Oh and when said apartment is had...Melbs, Chel and Heather are all invited. I shall cook, and feed you until you're deathly.
My internet is in and out. Don't know if it's just the net itself, a computer issue or what.....
Cooked a batch of punkin. (butternut squash)
I agree with the bahs and humbugs. It is far, far away too early for Christmas music. We hear all those songs enough every year as it is. Must we start so early and hear each song 17,000 MORE times?

Having a somewhat good day so far. Friday should be fun. Get to dress up and eat a lot here at work :)
Gotta figure things out. He's doing better at least. Just gotta hope and pray something works itself out.
I was mucho depressed yesterday but then he made me feel a little better. Finished reading Proverbs this morning :) Gonna make that part of my morning routine instead of just here and there. Gonna be like my mama ;)
Was asked last night if I would step in and play one of my dream roles in one of my favorite stage plays. I'm glad I had the clarity to decline. I have way too much on my plate currently to take on rehearsal schedules and the stress of putting on a production. Also I won't halt our progress on the house and my light at the end of the tunnel for moving out. Much less the fact of Brandon's church attendance and the progress I'm seeing in him as far at God is concerned. I will completely admit it breaks my heart a little but if its meant for me to play it then it'll come around again.
In other news I'm at work and so far don't want to kill anyone.....yet......
Back at work. Gotta preach tonight. A bit stressed but God is good. Ready for the weekend although twill be a blur. We've got a huge anniversary service- church's 37th, 27th pastoral anni- and I've gotta try to get the church yard looking decent, prepare for Saturday and Sunday. Looking forward to seeing some men of God I love dearly and rarely see, one of whom is Brother John Proctor who never fails to preach at me personally......

Almost forgot! I was doing something last night and, out of nowhere, he said "Why don't you pray about this?" So we prayed together. He said I might think it's dumb to do but I told him anytime he wants to pray about something it's not dumb and I'm not gonna argue.

I'm thankful for GP. It's a happy break(s) in my day.
Working on unpacking in the garage. I have this problem.
I have too much stuff.
I got one of those deep and long tubs for my extra kitchen stuff. Yeah, it's overflowing. I don't need that much stuff. I have a big garbage bag full of things to give to the GoodWill already. One thing about living somewhere with very distinct seasons is that there is equipment that I only use parts of the year. Cheap plastic trays, popsicle cups, picnicware, is all summer and I won't use it till then. Winter stuff like sleds, coats & accessories, shovels, fort tools, all have to be handy.
Anyone want to come over and take of it for me? I'll make you pie!
Got any music? :D CDs, records, cassettes, whatever, if it's christian or classical I'll take it.
Oh and... what kind of pie?
Does it matter what kind of pie it is? :)
I can make any kind of pie, I'm sure.
I do not have music, sorry Isaac. I do have cassette tapes upon tapes of preaching and lesson things that we probably ALL have from back in the day. It's like throwing away a Bible, ya just can't do it.

Fixing chili tonight. Hoping my honey will volunteer to make some cornbread, too, when he gets home from work. His cornbread ALWAYS turns out better than mine. :)

Yes, Pleasant Andy is from the Nuthouse.
After lunch with him I shopped for this that and the other...bleh..... I finally got some shoes. It was a good thing I did, cause it rained...right before I got them but I managed to get out of one store and into the next with just a few small wet spots on my socks... :roll: Then it rained like crazy while I was in there, and I put on a pair of the shoes before I went to the car. :smirk2:
Anyways.... I'm home and eating and need to tend fowl, yadda yadda..... Lands.

*waves back at Mel* :yawn:
Morning! :hi: It's my friday. :bouncy:
Last night was awesome. I had fretted about not seeming to have enough notes and words to express the thought God had laid on my heart, and I'm the type person that if I don't have my notes, I'm lost.....I had decided that thank God Bro Papa would be there, and he ALWAYS has something to add, so I'd be good. Then Sis Papa walked in and informed me that the pastor was sick as a dog and was currently alternating between his recliner and another more private room of his house- frequently. Pure panic set in...
Then as the worship began, a sweet spirit of the Holy Ghost settled in, and God showed out. He put words in my mouth and the church responded. Not a single pew had someone sitting in it not worshipping. It was awesome.
And come time for the preaching, the sermon tied in perfectly, and was, according to some, just what was needed. God is great!
***Oh, and just so I don't come across as TOO spiritual this morning-*Roscoe kicks Mel and smites both her and the HippyChick* :P
Well.
That's about all I have to say about that.
:yawn: Not ready to be up yet.
My thuggish looking neighbor who I'm pretty sure got into a fight on Monday night when he had a ton of people over and his smoke stinking up my laundry room that apparently isn't sealed all the way....
is now singing an 80's Christmas song with adlib. :o
Rouldoph the red nosed reindeer?

Well now. Let's not let the Love of Jesus work too quickly on your soul...
I shall smite you in return...but turn the other "cheek" on the kick.

Do that. That cheek needs a kick too. :hypocrite:

It's my Friday as well, but I ain't too happy about it. We just got our paychecks for last week, and that missing day hurts! I knew about how much it would be, but it still hurts. I'd rather be working Friday than have a four day paycheck.
And though there was no evident worshiping, I also was surprised how well preaching at the nursing home went yesterday. :cool:
The ones that could see that well were probably trying to figure out your 5 fingered shoes.
Actually nobody commented on them. My dress shoes are black leather so you have to actually look at them to see they aren't normal black leather dress shoes, and most people don't habitually look at feet, so nobody even noticed.
Feet are the first thing I look at. But I am a shoe fanatic - over 100 pairs.
Today is my Friday too. YAY! Fuel tomorrow night. Excited. I have two backslider friends who are coming. Or are supposed to come! I'm so excited!

Don't get too happy, HippyChick..
I'm mad at you. I KNOW you were here at the Capitol and didn't see me.
They had a huge " Legalize Medical Marijuana" rally here today, so I know you were around somewhere......Got to meet TV talkshow host Montel Williams, but figured I probably didn't need any pics took with him, seeing as how I am a cop and he is promoting illegal substances....besides, I'm not a fan.....had to have someone tell me who he was. :laughhard:
Anyway- I'd have bought you and Nathan a coke- make that a CocaCola- if you'd came in.. :hypocrite:
BOL! :pound:
And if I were there apparently I woulda brought you some brownies.
I'm going to go get feed. :smirk2:
I'm going to go get fed. :fork:
Roscoe what is the objective of these rallies? Are they trying to get the attention of the congressmen inside? Increase public awareness of their issue? Or are they holding it to reinforce to all their supporters that "you are not alone, there are a bunch of us who think the same cause is important"?
If it's for the first two, don't the congressmen and local public just look at it and think, "Yeah, yeah, another rally"?
As did (burp) I. I got some leftover homemade hushpuppies, crumbled them up in a pan, eggs, a bit of buttermilk, a bit of ranch dressing, all scrambled together and cooked. Very tasty.
I think I should freeze the rest of those hushpuppies. They can't last forever in the fridge...
weird...
cat.
Or water closet.
Whichever.
I can't help but think "water closet" every time you say WC, Seth!
Tots...just saw where a county in OK is so dry that they are having dust bowl conditions. Dust has blocked out the roads, and caused a 30 car pileup.
I have never been a Newsboys fan, but I am going to a concert tonight. It's suppose to be them doing worship songs. We shall see how it goes.
Moved some hay and cows and I smell like gas and I tore the hide off the side of my finger and I need to tend some fowl and get ready for church.

Quit eating the beans. Then at least the gas smell will go away.

I think it is more to get their cause out in public for the voters. If you hold a "rally" at the State Capitol, even if there is only a handful of people that show up, you are guarunteed to get airtime on the local t.v. news. This means you get to make probably three quarters of the registered voters aware of your cause, and it will probably get a mention in the state paper too... All about publicity.
I, myself, am thinking about holding a rally for the benefit of legislation that I am going to get a retired trooper friend who is now a state representative to sponser. It will provide a state law that any donut shop MUST give every cop in the state a free donut on demand, and in return, all cops will provided security for the shop as long as the "fresh and hot" sign is on. It will be the "Occupy Shipley's" movement, and doubtless will spread nationwide. :hypocrite:
I thought the "Fresh and hot" sign was tied up legally by Krispy Kreme. Are they gonna sue Shipley's?

State law will require Krispy Kreme to relinquish rights to the sign due to Shipley's having superior donuts. :P
Krispy Kreme is "Hot Now".
They don't claim to be fresh. Lol
I'm about to make some tomato soup and grilled cheese. My oatmeal I ate at 3 this afternoon has worn off.
Y'all need to speak up and talk more. You is boring me...
Yeah yeah.
w2cch.
/me bores Roscoe upside the head. :pound:
Was there anything in that hole you bored in his head or was it just empty?
Had to wait till this thread got to page 20, but someone else finally started a new thread. Back in the day (a few months ago) someone would be starting a new thread when the old one got to page 18 or so. :P
I have a seriously important prayer request. I usually have to work over on Fridays if a truck comes, but I need to be off by FIVE today!!
Men's Retreat is this weekend and my only ride leaves at 5:30. I need and want to be there. Please help me pray there is no obstacle to my getting off work on time. Thanks folks!!
In other news I am not a real Newsboys fan. lol I already knew this last night just confirmed it for me.
Going to work :worry:
:pound: Fuzzy.
:fire: Seth
:waving: everyone else.
Jason, was it the Gods not dead tour? Cause if so, they are in Lucedale tomorrow night. That's where Kimber lives. Lol
Oh good, now I can go stalk her. :roll:

:laughhard: You'll have no problems with that. She'll be looking for a black guy if your name comes up. :P
True. What concerns me is Melody also knows where I live, and might let it slip.
Im depressed. Roscoe has quit texting me. I do not know what I did, but I am sure its his fault.
Hey Mr. Kaufman... er, minnesota, you got in trouble with the law in the other thread. Better go 'fess up. :freaky2:
Actually I am at the library and can't use the phone. Will text soon....I promise.

I did. Made sure all sins were confessed when committed. Or shortly thereafter.

No. I know your vile ways. It will be a picture of a BBQ Frito Pie.
Hum...is it a sin if you to confess your sins before you sin? Preemptive strike on sinning.... :ulgy:
Well I hear in one religion you can purchase "indulgences." If you know you're going to transgress you can pay the church beforehand.
Gonna sin? Pay up now!
Oh wow.
On a sad note, Big Tex burned up at the Texas State Fair.
http://www.texasstormchasers.com/big-tex-burns-at-the-state-fair-of-texas/
"Look I know how to read a map and I'm telling you this IS the state fair! The Burning Man Festival isn't even NEAR here!"
*Thinking of Jenn and her awesome conference* Bless her Lordt!
Ok. My house smells of pumpkin bread, choc. chip cookies and about to add apple pie to that. I think I just gained 5 lbs smelling it... LOL
I should post a picture of Hannah's room. It's her first room that hasn't been white walls that she could actually do something with! The last house we got to paint the color she wanted but didn't get the other things finished we wanted to do. Also we got her a white iron 4 poster bed off Craigslist.
I'm so pumped for our Passing the Mantle Conf. that starts tonight! (A conference for ministers to be ministered to, especially but not only, young ministers) I was vac'ing today and was just feeling the anticipation of what God is about to do. Like the anointing cloud is gonna burst... LOL I'm feeling like this conf. I want to have an Abigail heart. Lots of Davids here, no doubt, that have yet to step fully into the position God has anointed them for. They may look young, wild, rough around the edges, etc. but I feel like this wknd there is favor for them. I see the greatness God has for them and pray they feel the blessing as being addressed as such. Jesus, edify your church! I think there will be some more names added to my prayer list.
I was gonna post how awesome it was that God had provided me some great used tires, but then I got the txt that for whatever reason the person providing them backed out. Back to the drawing room/prayer closet.
*stops through to smite*
:hi:
:hi: My phone service is acting jacked up. :(
In other news, left the library, came home. Chey and I had had a long talk about her pet turtle and how he needed to be turned loose....She decided today that "Tiny" needed to have a new home, so we turned him loose in our local lake. Praise God- she decided, so no tears or guilt from me, and the stinking beast is gone. He seemed overjoyed to strike out for deep water. :P
Chey decided that since Tiny is gone, she had room for a computer- so I dug out an old one I had running Windows XP and set it up for her with a few games. I'm gonna have to find a few more age appropriate games though....
And While looking for a spare keyboard, I found a cd case with some cds I've been missing, including my beloved Mike Bowling "Remembering Kenny Hinson"....it had vanished before I'd downloaded it to computer. Not now. :freaky2:
I got some leg quarters and chicken breast injected with some marinade. Gonna grill them shortly. Yummmm!
We went to the house today and got the rest of the furniture out. Shew. It's been a LONNG process. Now I'm going back Monday to do one more day of packing an salvaging, and we will be DONE. Gonna make a huge fire to burn the rest of the stuff that's trash. Heather? Wanna join me? :freaky2:
Now to lay down for about 45 mins. Then start dinner. This chicken is gonna be amazing!

Caveat: Some may not run, depending on your graphics card. Use Neverball as a test case - if it renders about a frame per second instead of scrolling smoothly, 3D accelerated games are a no-go.
I have a short B-list if you still want more - games that are even better, but require steps to install. Like Mechwarrior 4, which is a good game with no profanity or blood, but it takes jumping through some hoops to get it running.
Oh, and all of the aforementioned games are free of course. :cool:
