Still Nunya Business... But since SippinTea needs thread 3...

[EricShane]

Eyes are nice things. They help people see the world.

I don't know anything about Billie Holiday other than that she's a pop vocalist. But considering the brief bio I just read on her, I somehow doubt I'd like her stuff.

yeah?

man... I love Billie Holiday "P.S. I love you" and "I'll be seeing you"



so... Do you think im annoying and obnoxious?

[SippinTea]

Do you really want an answer to that? *grin*

[RainbowJingles]

I ama perfectionist (I prefer saying a recovering perfectionist...but sometimes I'm sure that's entirely true)

YES!  You ARE recovering!  You let a typo slip past you!
         

At least I *think* it was a typo...   

[EricShane]

Do you really want an answer to that? *grin*

YES!  You ARE recovering!  You let a typo slip past you!
         

At least I *think* it was a typo...   

*laugh* Yes, that was a typo. It was supposed to say "sometimes I'm NOT sure..."  Ah well....

Do you really want an answer to that? *grin*

is that rhetorrical?

If you don't want the answer, don't read this post. If you do want the answer, it is....

Absolutely. Just as much as my brother's friend Bruce.

what will you be?

I will be
gracious and kind someday... I hope.
patient someday... I hope.
a wife someday... I hope.
a mother someday... I hope.
a songwriter someday... I hope.
wise someday... I hope.
more effective in prayer someday... I hope.
more knowledgeable about my Bible someday... I hope.
in heaven someday... by God's grace.

[sunlight]

too cool! amazing!

who are you?

[MelodyB]

WOW! THANKS! I needed that before I went to sleep. -Tight HUG-

[SippinTea]

You're very welcome, Mel. But I think I needed it more than you did.

who are you?

Ooooo.... .... I'm SO glad you asked. That's one answer I found a long time ago. Hang on.... gonna go find the file of notes on my computer....

[SippinTea]

Okay, sooo...

These answers are only from the book of Ephesians, so obviously there's a lot more to be discovered. But just the ones I found here are plenty amazing. All through Ephesians you find two little words over and over again--"In Christ".... so I started listing off some of the things I found, and came up with the following...

In Christ I am...
given every spiritual blessing
chosen
blameless
adopted
redeemed
given the purpose of His will
full of hope
included
marked with His seal
given mighty strength
seated in the heavenly realms
given kindness
created
brought near
joined together
a sharer in the Promise
given the revelation of mysteries
able to approach God with freedom and confidence
given forgiveness
taught truth
brought light
given strength

...and THAT's only the tip of the iceberg, too! 

[MelodyB]

WOW.

Ummmmmm.... Yeah.

I needed that one too.

*HUG*

[sunlight]

where will you go?

[SippinTea]

Blah. That one could get kinda depressing really quickly. I could write my diary for months in advance.

How 'bout I just tell ya the cool stuff?

I will (Lord willing...) go to...
The Redwoods in May
Texas and Oklahoma in June
Malta and Italy in the fall

And the ultimate: heaven. Tomorrow would be totally fine with me. Tonight would be even better.

[sunlight]

what will you do?

Where are the Redwoods? (I went to public school   )

And if you go to Heaven tonight...can I go too?

[SippinTea]

*chuckles at Mel* They're in northern CA.

You'll have to talk to Jesus about going to heaven, 'cause I'm not the gate-keeper.

what will you do?

So when and why are you going to Northren CA, and how come I just now am hearing about this one?

And are you SURE you cant get me into Heaven any sooner?

[SippinTea]

The CA trip is family vacation. We're planning to take the mini motor home and a tent, and go plant ourselves in a campground for a week.
*tries to imagine a week without phones ringing*
*tries to imagine a week without a schedule*
*tries to imagine a week without her laptop*
*tries to imagine a week without freight and students*
*tries to imagine a week without church involvements*

Sounds almost too good to be true.

[MelodyB]

Sounds AWESOME!!!! I need to do that and get a better perspective on some things.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Mel, you would go into withdrawal symptoms if you didn't have your phone or computer...

[SippinTea]

No joke! She couldn't survive a day... much less a week. *grin*

[MelodyB]

I COULD!

If I had somewhere to go, and someone to be with, I would do it.

The reason I cant do it now, is I dont have anywhere else to be... and there isnt ANYONE to hang with for longer than a couple of hours. Seriously.



I would LOVE to take off and not have any of those things, just be in the woods or wherever with friends....or the family that I get along with.

If yall notice...I didnt post much while we were IN Indy, and I was not on the phone much either, exept to the ones that were there, to see where/what was going on...when I am around people...especially friends, I am fine without the computer and the phone. Seriously.

Im not THAT bad.
