Laura Branigan had many hits but the one people know the best was her number one hit "Gloria" back in the eighties. She also had hits with "How am I Supposed To Live Without You", "Solitaire", "Spanish Eddie", and "Shattered Glass". She died last August from a brain an aneurysm in her home in New York at the age of 47. Her last recordings were released recently on a CD entitled "Remember Me" and I just wanted people to know.It is a shame to lose a great talent especially at such a young age.

For all of the Laura Branigan fans- even though we lost one of the best vocalists last year - Laura Branigan's Last Recordings entitled cd Remember Me is awesome. RIP Laura we love and miss you.

Dolittle: Yes, thank Allah he's finally outtta there!!!

My grandson flew out of Iraq today! This brings great joy to all of his family and thanks to God for keeping him safe.

Radiant 36 9: AMEN

Thanks Radiant..

for she is going in for surgery tomorrow, here is a prayer for her - so that every one on here may pray along with it, for her to get out of surgery safe and for her to recover soon, without too much pain; but with the Healing touch of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Take heart, Barb! We love you.. hope to see you on here soon again!

Ephesians 3:12-21

In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. I ask you, therefor, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strenghten Barb with power through His Spirit in her inner being, so that Christ may dwell in her heart through faith. And I pray, that Barb, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide, and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that Barb may be filled to the measures of all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all she asks or imagine, according to His power that is at work within Barb, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! - AMEN

My prayers go out to the many wounded warriors all over this globe.. The wounded Asian who lost so many of their loved ones and their homes, their places to shelter.. I pray especcially for people who got wounded in their daily life.. May they find healing through Jesus Christ! - AMEN

Oh wow.. that is something to definately look forward to and celebrate.. :)

Thanks, me too! Can hardly wait for them to make it stateside as I have never met his family. If all goes well, that will happen in May!

*Crosses fingers* Yes! I can't wait to read he is home and safe with his family!

Thanks Partica..only has 20 days to go now. They are trying to get him out of there now and sent to Germany where his family waits. I am hoping he will be sent to some of the good doctors there to remove the shrapnel!

I will put him and his family in my prayers! Good luck on the non-extension and may his 24 days go swiftly!

I would like to ask prayers for my grandson in Iraq. He was slightly wounded about 2 weeks ago but is ok and back on duty. Some kind of grenade was thrown into his tent and he got shrapnel in his forearm..spent a few days in the field hospital. He only has 24 more days to serve in Iraq to have his year completed. I am praying for his safety and that they don't decide to extend his time there. He has a wife and 2 little boys in Germany.

Christmas in Heaven..
 
You know, many of us have
lost loved ones this year...
May we all find comfort in the following poem:

I lost 2 more friends, one on Christmas with a heart attack. He was 42 with a wife and two kids.
That makes 7 funerals for me in 10 weeks. This poem was sent to me and it has helped me very much. I wish to pass it on.

CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below,
With tiny lights like heaven's stars
Reflecting in the snow.

The sight is so spectacular
Please wipe away that tear
For I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
That people hold so dear
but earthly music can't compare
With the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you
The joy their voices bring
For it's beyond description
To hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
Trust God and have no fear
For I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I can't tell you of the splendor
Or the peace here in this place.
Can you imagine Christmas
With our Savior, face to face?

May God uplift your spirit
As I tell Him of your love
Then pray for one another
As you lift your eyes above.

So let your hearts be joyful
And let your spirits sing
For I'm spending Christmas in Heaven
And I'm walking with the king!

Well, God will know her name..

Sorry, I don't know this ladies name, I just caught it on the 6pm news on tv not long ago.

Thank God Novo3's wife if OK.. Hallelujah!

Thank you for updating more.. Terrible of what has happened with that lady! What is her name?

re Novo3's wife: Hi all, I've heard from Novo3 today and he has advised me that his wife is away from the danger and therefore is safe and well.

Prayers go out to a lady here in Perth who has lost 50 immediate family members in the tidal wave near Phuket.

Thoughts and prayers for Sachini! Such a heartbreaking situation over there. I pray for all those families!

Radiant 36 9: Her name is Sachini

You are very welcome, BananaD :-)

thanks Radiant :-)

Sorry BananaD.. nothing heard from Novo3.. Hopefully the entire BK-family read this board and will inform you as soon as somebody did has heard from him.. Take heart!!

Yes, and Indonesia too and India.. all the countries around the Bengal Sea. And yet I heard of still more lil earthshockes to come from the epicenter.. so still not yet save situation there..

BTW Thailand, Maldives and parts of Malaysia have also been affected by the tsunami.

Anyone hear from Novo3? His wife went back to Thailand to spend Christmas with her family. Novo3 hasn't replied to my message yet, so am getting a bit concerned.

ADizBALD: Thank you, AD, for mentioning this!! Me and my man started praying for them last night.. how awful. Today in the news they talk about at least 23500 casualties in the entire region, that got killed..

What is the name of your Sri Lanka daughter? Bless your heart!!

Let's keep the people of India and Sri Lanka in our prayers. The 9.0 earthquake in the Indian ocean has killed thousands. I have a little girl I sponsor in Sri Lanka through World Vision and I'm concerned. Very sad that so many died as there was no early warning in place.

BananaD:
I want to thank you all for your thoughts.
Life was no sweet to my grandma but she was very strong and sttuborn to keep a flare in her life. Thanks for your lesson of life, and I'm sure wherever you are, that place will be more reacher with your presence.

We sang that song last night in our Christmas Eve Service, while the lights were out only the Christmas Tree and everyone's candle enlightened the Church!! How wonderful romantic that was.. Also the man of my heart told me they did that in their Church last night.. in the Holy Night.. I wish that everyone on this entire had a special moment last night, with the Lord, Jesus Christ, who came to Earth as a Savior.. Who came to earth to SAVE us and to GIVE us eternal life!! WHat a GIFT!!

Now how wonderful it will be to GIVE HIM our life, then we will never perish, but have eternal LIFE in Freedom!!

*****MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL*****

BananaD: Awww, we certainly keep Ferjo and his beloved ones in our prayers!

The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ
the Love of God and the
Fellowship of the Holy Spirit
be with us now and forevermore - AMEN

BananaD: Thanks for posting this and our thoughts and prayers will go out to Ferjo and his family during their sorrow!

***edited because forgot to add the subject***

Mindy, where two or more are gathered to pray.. we can feel HIS presence!! Bless your heart.. AMEN

I just prayed that prayer with you,Radiant..Amen

Thank you RamblinMan to reflect upon that Freedom we have here. To HIM be the Glory each day in every way!!

Dear Lord, in the Light of Your Light and our Freedom to worship and honor you on these boards, Lord I especcially lift up tonight ALL Christians arround the world who are persecuted simply for being a Christian and to choose to worship, honor and praise You!!

Lord, I lift up before you our brothers and sisters from North Korea, China, Peru, Iraq, Israel, Palestina, Middle East, Saoedi Arabia, Indonesia..

Christmas is approaching quickly now and also these brothers and sisters should be Free to celebrate Christmas in their 'church'... Sometimes its just a hidden room, to protect themselves from bombattacks.. I read a few days ago that Christians in Iraq cannOt go to church this Christmas, because their church has been attacked.. I pray they will be able to find a place where they indeed will be able to worship Thee - and if they are still in danger, Lord, I pray you keep them under your wings and keep them safe! Lord, You are an Awesome God.. The Alpha and Omega, Lord of the beginning and the end... with You everything is possible.. And I lift my arms to You.. to surrender, surrender this situation, Lord.. we are Yours and in You we are FREE!!

Thank You so much, Lord for what You did for us on the Cross! You died for us and You washed us clean from sin... The old has begun new - each day in worship we lift up the world to be healed and to be loved by You!

Thats what I ask in Your son's precious name - AMEN

Amen Sister! That was a beautiful and eloquent Prayer. Again I have to Thank the Good Lord for leading me to BK where I found this board as well as the many Fellowships here that allow us to Pray and Praise Him openly and freely.

Give Glory to God

Concentrate on Me.
Give Me your full attention.
I yearn to be in you completely.
But first, you need to abide in Me.
You need to learn how to give yourself
to what I alone can give you.
There is so much waiting for you!
I ask for that abiding
so that we may both be one,
so that you can walk in My ways,
to have My mind in you,
to have My compassion,
My care for others, My love.
Then will My power flow through you,
power to do My works,
to join with other kindred spirits,
giving My body form.
Then those greater works
I've promised, you will have
to give glory to God.

AMEN, Mindy!! Hallelujah :-)

Thank you Lord for this wonderful prayer sister!! Bless her heart :-)

I pray for peace.
Peace that passes all understanding.
Peace that fills every corner of your home,
Ever corner of your heart,
Every corner of your life.
I pray for comfort.
Comfort that comes through the assurance
Of God’s great love for you.
No matter what, no matter when, no matter why
No matter what you have done or will do,
His love will always be there.
A love so powerful that
He gave up his heavenly rights and position of power
To become utterly vulnerable and totally dependent
So that He would be able to say without a doubt
That he understands fully what it means
To not be able to meet all his needs through his own works.
I pray for the gift of earthly hands, feet and voices that bring
Tangible evidence to you of that great Love in practical ways.
I pray for the grace for you to see your world
Through Christ’s eyes,
So you can see the gifts he pours out daily as a celebration of
His great love for you.

good one! 0:-)

This email was sent to me by mail... Its sooooo GO(O)D ;-)


Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering. Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They moused.

They faxed.

They e-mailed.

They e-mailed with attachments.

They downloaded.

They did spreadsheets.

They wrote reports.

They created labels and cards.

They created charts and graphs.

They did some genealogy reports.

They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed.

Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers Satan started searching frantically, screaming:

"It's gone! It's all GONE!

"I lost everything when the power went out!"

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.
Satan observed this and became irate.

"Wait!" he screamed.

"That's not fair!

He cheated!

How come he has all his work and I don't have any?"
God just shrugged and said, "Jesus saves."

this what i received today from her in the mail:

I went to the Dr this afternoon for a problem that I have been having with bleeding for about 3/4 weeks. He said there is a tissue where there
should not be and i have to go next week for some test. If God does not heal this, I probably
will have to have surgery maybe, not sure because of the situation with my heart. So, I
would appreciate your prayers. I know God can work miracles, he has for me and my family in the past and he can do it now also.

Gods Blessings and have a wonderful day.

I hope you all can pray for my dearest sister in Christ. God bless you all,

~*Radiant*~
