We Bid a Fond Farewell to Kevin in Sharing 487

I know Ruby found it on FB but here is my ring if anyone wanted to see it. I have alway been against diamonds and Brandon actually listened. lol. They are all sapphires on a white gold band.

I've learned a lesson over the years and relearn it a times as well.

When a Christian is complaining about other Christians or Apostolics in general and how they don't have kindness and patience towards sinners, well. They just told on themselves.  Fruit of the Spirit isn't discriminate, carnality is. 

That reminds me, there is this one couple, I'm telling you they won't even give visitors a break!  They're all the time...

Uh...

Never mind. 

[Lynx]

HeatherB:  Congratulations on the ring and on your good taste.  Rubies, emeralds, etc used to be used more for jewelry, but diamonds replaced them because the lighting in public places improved, so glitter became more important (or at least easier to get attention) than color.

Hehehe. I know, it can go round and round. Lol

Ever notice state capitols usually are located in cities with high crime rates? Our nations capitol has outrageous crime rates. Some of these cities were created just to become the seat of government and politics for the state or nation.

Knowing these things one must assume that politics increases crime.  So, to increase public safety all politicians should be jailed. This is obviously needed to reduce crime.

Just my random thought of the night.

I just see no point in paying that much money for something. Especially something that doesn't come from the best of backgrounds. I don't like the thought of child slavery to get something shiny on my finger. Plus did I mention the cost?

My sharing:  I am at a honest to goodness point where I cannot shave.  Due to the stitches in my lip, I cannot save my lip area.  My wife and I have discussed several options but we are afraid anything used will get in the wound.   I personally hate the idea of a mustache, and goatees are not a option.  So, I have a beard.  And this will be the first time I have ever been to church with a beard.  And I am more apprehensive about that than I have ever been about ANYTHING.

[Heather]

I LOVE beards!!! I was sad when Brandon had to shave his last month. But it will return....eventually....

we need photos!

[Melody]

You could always go with a Hitler-stache. 




I agree about pictures. I understand the platform standard but facial hair is so masculine.  I don't know any guy that doesn't look more competent with well groomed facial hair.

Since I come from the same type of background, I understand....Reminds me of when I crushed my left hand in a machine at work. Thanks to the bandaging, I couldn't dress myself with anything that had buttons. Going to church in sweatpants and a t shirt, and "Jesus shoes" was nearly more than I could handle. I was never so happy to go to church in jeans as I was when I was finally able to button them.

I tend to forget that some of you go to THOSE kinds of churches. At my church, it's pretty common for men to arrive with beards and/or mustaches.

Chelleebelle looks happy with all of them...

Yep.  I think climate must make a difference.  Though there are men everywhere who don't associate the hair God gave them on their face with some kind of rebellion, it seems the warmer the region, the less the facial hair, over all.

Until hunting season comes...

[Melody]

Your church guys grow it out then? 

[Melody]

I have a cousin that just moved to Milan, TN.  Any good churches there that ya's know about?

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Your church guys grow it out then? 

some guys that I know do

[Melody]

Well, if some of your church guys do then maybe it's a urban vs. rural thing?  Very few do here and none on the platform.

[MsJennJenn]

Mini: I have not one, but two chicken express's that are barely 10 mins away. Hehe.

On other notes: facial hair? Love. Masculine, hot, attractive.
But yea, not accepted down here. Prayin for a burley northern man to sweep me up up and away. 

[The Purple Fuzzy]

It's not really accepted... Especially on the platform.

[Lynx]

Well the south always has been slow to change.  Mostly we respect our elders, and our elders still have a thing about facial hair, so we still have standards against it in most places. 

Yes, I just basically said we're waiting for our old folks to die off so we can wear beards again.    Personally I don't like all that hair itching me, but some guys are just waiting...

With the exception of the Hitler mustache, I look rather dashing!  LOL  All I need is a derby hat, and I would be right at home.
