just another quick update on my sister...she had her biopsy last thursday and found out that it is not cancer! yay :)) She's currently at her doctors surgery now as I type this up to find out exactly what it is and needs to happen. (I'm guessing surgery to have the lump removed).
So to all of you who got those prayers happening....you are wonderful!! Thank you and God bless. :))

and to SR....keep the faith :))

BananaD, praise Jesus/God. It proves it over and over again how much power there is in prayer.

The best of fait to you as well..

Update on my brother.. he was just released from the hospital with a Heat Stroke diagnosis later last night.. :)

Thanks to all who said prayers.. And thanks for being here.. :)

Warm fuzzies to all!

ScarletRose, so glad all is well with your brother. I can only repeat what I said to BananaD; lots of power in prayer.

Nice to hear those good reports from Scarlet and BananaD!

You lot still believe in prayer in this day and age?

to all those affected by the Hurricane..

One of my best online friends was in the middle of it.. and as of still.. I have not heard a word from her..

Angel.. if you are still with us, know that you are being thought of and have several of us awaiting word from you..

Only a fool does not believe in prayer in this day and age because if you have no faith; there is no way you are going to make it with the world situation and peoples' lives that are messed up. Yes, prayer is powerful and I, for one, know it works miracles to pray. Not enough room here to prove it to you and list all the small miracles in my life of turmoil.

I do not consider myself a 'fool' for being an agnostic, and funnily enough that attitude won't help change my mind ! I admire, and am even slightly jealous of those that have great faith .. and if you believe, that's all that really matters.. but I feel it's a little harsh to think badly of those of us that don't, or are unsure.
Just my thoughts...

PS, though I do think it was rather uneccessary for wolfie5 to have commented in that manner

Niki, I was surprised to hear from you as my comments were aimed at wolfie5. I have no idea why certain persons would be posting on this discussion board if they do not believe in prayer or a higher authority. I am not that familiar with persons that are agnostic anyway. I do not pass judgement, just comment and make suggestions. I will never argue religions or politics as each person is entitled to their own convictions and believes. I do not want to make anyone angry or dislike me because of what I believe but I do make a comment here and there. I do not think badly of those who do not believe what I do or are unsure what to believe. I was very interested in your message about Glaucoma as my boyfriend's mother, age 86, has been blind for years because she has Glaucoma and he (Joe) and his brother and 2 sisters are very susceptible. It seems Glaucoma is an inherited affliction. Thank you for your comments and do not judge me or come to the conclusions that you did about my comments. Thank you for understanding.

Just had a PM from Dolittle that her sister is in the ER and in bad shape. Say a prayer for her and her sister as I am doing here now.

I appreciate that those comments were aimed at someone else, but being someone who "does not believe in prayer in this day and age" I felt that I too was being called a fool.. which I just felt to be a little unnecessary.
I also agree that this board is for people with similar beliefs to yourself, and that therefore comments should certainly not be made against those beliefs.. this is definitely not the place for it.
But I can assure.. no hard feelings :))
btw, to be agnostic, for those that may not know, is being completely unsure, one way or another, about what they believe .. probably a large proportion of people :o)

A man in my church has recently had a heart attack, if you could all please pray for his recovery, thank you.

Bored my friend? THis is generally a prayer list, not really a religious chat board:)
How are ya? Sorry I have not invited ya to a game lately. Feel free ta post me. I admire yer zeal my friend, but pointed observations cut those bearin their hearts out...kinda like someone who walks by a high school garage band and shouts how much they suck while they're practicin.:D
THen again...I guess it was a thought...:D
PM me man.

Today, is the 3rd year anniversay of the passing of my mother. I just wanted to say that I miss you mom, very much and I always will. I love you, mom and I will never forget you, Your daughter, Roberta. Love Always, Roberta

My heart goes out to you, Roberta together with my prayers for you! Be blessed in HIS name,

~*Radiant 36:9*~

Yesterday (Oct 6th), my husband would have been 72 yrs of age if he had won his battle with cancer Jan. 15, 2000. Just wanted the angels to tell him Happy Birthday from me. I will never forget what we had together and I miss him a whole lot.

Rodeogirl, my Mom passed away Oct 17, 2002 so I know exactly how you feel. It is so awful when you lose a parent. My father died when I was almost 5 so my Mom served as both parents until she remarried when I was twelve. She always did her best for my brother, sister and I and I think of her all the time and miss her terribly.
Edited for spelling.

Dolittle's sister passed away...

The last couple months have really been hectic for some of us,,isnt it wonderful to know in the midst of the storms in our life God is there,,2 Corinthians 1:3,4 says,"Blessed be the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Mercies & God of "all" comfort,who comforts us in "all" our tribulations...We can count on our God to see us through even the roughest of storms...I hope that in the aftermath of hurricanes that everyone can say thank you for our Lord bringing us safely through them 0:-)
Also,,,Fall is here again,,,it makes me want to spend more time outside enjoying the fresh air & scenery..Makes me think of all the wonderful things that go with this time of year,,,like Reeses peanut butter cups,hehe!0;-D hay rides,fellowships with good friends,bon fires,which we have quite often (with roasted marshmallows,no doubt) 0:-) This time of year also makes me think of other things,,,Things that are not as pleasant like raking my yard,blek..the loss of loved ones that have gone on,the fact that there are people that use this time to renounce our God & lift up satanic beliefs & their king & so on...There are two sides to "everything".The Bible tells us to think on the positive things in "everything" (Phil.4:8)God must be so pleased with His children when we choose to see the good,,,and dont you know its a personal victory when we rise above pondering on the negative & grasp what is pure & lovely & righteous. I will leave you with this thought:

There is good in everything,,The cool news is that we get to find it 0:-D

God Bless you & yours,Mindy

A good young actor who fell into the roll of an actor of his lifetime. It took a horrible accident in his life for the rest of the world to see what a great person he really was! My prayers have been with him always and especially know that he is gone. May he rest in peace.

Thats really awesome,Solus! or should I say,,Thats cool news! *smile* 0:-D
Really,,I think thats great 0:-)

"...Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves:
who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

kd5svqJT's mom passed away today...please keep him in your thoughts....

I've used some poor judgement in the past,,,I have made some terrible mistakes which I deeply regret now..I am human,however,I have made these mistakes more than once. I mean,,does God forgive people who make the same mistakes over again? hmmmm..I wonder...Quite frankly tho,I am one of the nicest people you could ever meet,,just with "faults"..Doesnt everyone have faults? I've made some decisions in the past without thinking twice about it & now it has come back to haunt me,,but any decision I have ever made was not to deliberately hurt someone or make them angry,,Its not in my nature to "purposely" hurt anyone. Seems some people want to hurt "me" purposely tho...Why?? Is it in their nature to do so?...maybe..Do they honestly think that I am such a terrible person,that they feel the need to hurt me?..I dont know..Well,I am sorry to say that they have succeeded in hurting me. Will I try to get even with them?..NO..I am not that way..I care about peoples feelings,,even tho I have hurt some feelings,not purposely. How can people be so spiteful & cruel? I just dont know the answer to that one..I would like to be here to just have fun & get along with everyone..But the spitefulness has tired me 0:,(
Should I even bother to ask anyone to pray for me,in hopes that things will get better? I dont know any more,,Am I losing Faith? maybe..Should I keep praying for the spiteful ones?..I might..
Am I writing this for "attention"?..NO..This comes from deep inside my heart 0:-(
Take care...
Mindy

P.S. Some advice,,,Before you make any decisions about anything,,dont think twice about it,,think a hundred times first

Dear Mindy :-)

I don't know what happened or what caused you to think you are losing Faith.. but I think the enemy did some recent attacks on you; trying to make you believe your Faith is worthless..

Deep in your heart you know that HE is alive! And that HE is the Bread and the Wine of life.. Eating and drinking from HIM won't ever make you hungry or thirsty! John 6:25-59

You say, you love people.. that is HIS first commandment: John 15:12-17

I just finished studying the Gospel of John when I returned here and found your message.. Again, I don't know of anything what caused your distress, but know, that He is the Father of Love, Light, Forgiveness, Truth, and Scripture and please read and memorize Psalm 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to trust in man. And recently a friend sent me this verse:

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." Phil. 4:13

I wish you HIS wisdom and HIS strength,
Radiant 36:9 refers to: psalm 36:9 - For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

Just a few things to meditate on for you Mindy. You have many friends here so whatever it is that is troubling you, you will be surrounded by the prayers of good friends.

"Do not be anxious for anything, but in everything. by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Phil.4:6-7).

God will make a way when there seems to be no way.
He works in ways we cannot see. He will make a way for me.
He will be my guide; hold me closely to his side.
With love and strength for each new day, he will make a way. Don Moen

I agree with AD. Mindy, I don't know you that well but it shows that you are a good person. Please know that you do have friends here and others that would like to be your friend. Hope you take comfort in that and continue to play here and have a good time. God Bless You!!
