Now Mel is down- who's next to find a mate? Let's speculate in sharing 488

[MsJennJenn]

My young friend made it there, Lady JennJenn. I hadn't thought of suggesting y'all introduce yourselves, my bad. He is a great young man,. but may not be in your preferred age range (24) and he is pigmentationally challenged.


John 

Very good. Enjoyed my time away. Wish it was longer.

Well I think I did meet him. Was his name Jonathan?
And yes - pigmentally challenged. Nice guy though; if that's I met lol.

[Roscoe]

 Silent as the tomb here..... And the fried Bambi did NOT agree with me. I musta ate to much, cause it has whipped me. And Chey didn't feel good either so we stayed home while Mama went to church.

[MelodyB]

Chili was excellent. Need to go put it away now.

[SippinTea]

By the way, we guys really do wish you girls would listen when we tell you this.

Not about makeup in particular, but about looks in general.

[Melody]

If you have the time, could I ask a prayer request?

Andrew has a big day tomorrow. He's going to speak to his music teachers about not participating in the new song they just introduced.

It's a song prayer to the Hindu/Buddhist? god-Vishnu asking for protection and beauty for eternity. 

He's drawing a line, publicly. Regardless of the consequence. He is respectful and kind, somehow picked up tactfulness somewhere... Lol. So it's the boldness and articulation he wants.

[SippinTea]

I'll pray for him. I'm proud of him for his decision.

[taco_harvell]

Boss "demanded" I call him today, then never answered or called back. Just sent an email to him explaining my health situation. Please pray for favor and compassion. Trusting God!

[taco_harvell]

I HATE feeling useless!!!

[Newsman]

Praying for you, Bro. Jason and Andrew!

Lady JennJenn, that was him!

Lady Melodya, aside from the prayer situation, if y'all feel the situation is well beyond the line, and want some media exposure, I might be able to come up with a contact number in KC.

I was away from the site for nearly a week: how is Seth's father?

[Melody]

Thanks guys.

And thank you, John. I can't imagine it'll come to that. Andrew is willing to recieve a lower grade if that's what it takes. It's not in English but it put his HG on edge yesterday so he came home and looked up its meaning. He decided really before he even had the info that he was going to opt out of participation if it involved any sort of praise worship idolitry. Makes a mama's heart full.

I'm praying against this song. The last thing we need in our schools is children chanting or singing songs to false gods. Music invites one kind of presence or another, they don't need to fight anymore demons.

A few wks ago, Andrew and his youth group went and prayed around the school. Tuesday night they had a special speaker and a prayer mtg for boldness to stand for truth. And then this comes up.

I'm so very thankful for a youth group to support him.

Praying for the situations.

I'm still hyped after last night.  We baptized a teenager in the pond behind the church building before service - even with the temp outside being 45 degrees.   

[Backseat Radio]

Thanks guys.

In this society it would be good to go look up anything the school system presents that's not in English to make sure we're not unknowingly participating in something ungodly.  Proud of his courage to say "I won't participate in this".

Happy United Nations Day!

[Melody]

Andrew's music teacher said he completely respected his decision but he'd like him to give it more consideration because it's in the name of cultural diversity, not religion. :/

[Roscoe]

 Proud of Andrew.

If any of you can spare a prayer, I could use it tonight. Incredibly heavy sadness tonight.. Without too many details, it is heartwrenching to get a call from a backslider asking for help, then hearing them tell you they are going to hell and you can't do anything about it.
I just spent several minutes with a young man that was raised Pentecostal, had been Holy Ghost filled, and walked away from God.
In the ensuing years, he's been, by his account, in prison for many crimes, some quite violent. He was quite intoxicated, and I don't know that I have ever felt such a darkness... I tried to reach him. But this feeling of darkness and a lost cause pervades tonight.. The hug he gave me before walking away broke my heart. It was like I was the last link to God he would ever know. Very heavy heart...

[Melody]

Roscoe, you can break that in Jesus name. Bear one another's burdens. Don't let it discourage you!  A restored backslider is a force to be reckoned with and could be the catalyst for revival in that city! 

Hosting a family of 9 for the conference. 3 of which have celiac disease.  I'm so excited. Remnds me of when people would come in from all over for council when I was a kid.  The adults would stay up talking at the table laughing.

[Newsman]

Praying, Bobby, and proud of Andrew!

[taco_harvell]

Finally heard from boss... Email felt kind of weird just kept saying "don't worry" and "get better" (Um been trying!). Not sure if he is just sick of doing my job or what.

Doctor at 3 today not much change to report. Good news is if her 8 week prediction is right I am over half way there!

P.S. Help us pray she had us apply to somethings which may help with all these accumulating bills. God is able!

[The Purple Fuzzy]

It's already been a crazy day and work. *whew

[taco_harvell]

Andrew's music teacher said he completely respected his decision but he'd like him to give it more consideration because it's in the name of cultural diversity, not religion. :/

Andrew should tell him in that case pick a song with cultural significance instead of religious significance.

[taco_harvell]

My pastors wife found out I love Hazelnut creamer and coffee, so now I have enough to last me 2 months. lol

I love my Pastor and his Wife!!

[MelodyB]

I hate feeling trapped in my own house.

Gonna make some easy Mac and throw some meatballs in it just cause.

Tonight is date night with Allan, fair is in town, we may go there.

[Roscoe]

 Got up and took Chey to school....didn't make it to school before the backslider from last night called, sober this time. Wanting advice about how to get outta the situation he'd gotten into last night. I gave him advice, didn't say I told you so, and went to Bro Wilson's after dropping AngelFluff off at school.
He had me help him take down a t.v. antenna that was on his new house when he bought it, then blessed me by giving me the mast, which is a 40' collapsable pole worth a couple hundred bucks. I am pleased.
Then, the backslider called me again- I wound up getting the chance to talk to him a bit and take him to apply for a job..I really pray things get through to him...
Now I am at home with a ton of things to do, but no motivation to do them. Bah.

Exactly!  They've had diversity training as teachers, they actually know better.  Hard to not think they are being purposely reviling but the deceived really are ignorant, willfully or not so...
