ya, i am slowly training myself to just not engage with certain people due to strife, while at the same time striving in another sense. A balancing act, iow. I'm still pretty bad at it, end up reacting instead of replying...but i also note that without a contender, i would not be able to work on my speaking in tongues, which is making progress. Interesting to me to watch a gentle poster get harangued without reacting, kind of ends up boomeranging, to a reader, etc.

The Good News Cafe closed for a reason, i guess

what a shame that 3.34am is not the same 3.34am in every time zone...then we could all Skype or FaceTime and have an online party!

This sou D's amusing somehow. Like who would be making more noise? The one opening curtains due to sunrise or the one closing g them due to sunset?

I should have something on my mind that I want to talk about...I can usually talk about anything ( so my husband says...but that's when he is flipping the remote control)
But no...my mind is totally blank today.
I think my life is shrinking....Canadians turn into hermits in the winter months...so maybe the brain goes to sleep!!

DicipleofJesus · Nov 7, 2017

I don't turn into a hermit. And my brain doesn't go to sleep. I like winter because we can dress for it. That can be harder here in summer. And no bed bugs in winter!

Thank for your posts. Each of you are saying wise and true things.
Maybe today was just a bad low-day for me... I think I was/am more annoyed with myself for engaging with it, and falling for such useless arguments and waste of time.

Bbyrd009 is right...the good “friendships” that I have made on here are worth so MUCH MORE than engaging with rubbish posts which bother me.
I’ve known Amadeus for over a decade on different forums. And both Job and bbyrd009 have given me so many great chuckles by their quick wit .

Thank you all for your posts....I agree, why should I allow the negativity on site to get to me , or to drive me away!
I hadn’t quite seen it like that.

Taking stock, and ‘pausing for thought’ .....

Thanks again...later......

I've found myself arguing ... I do not like the 'me' that keeps on arguing.

It happens. I recently engaged in as much myself, nor was I happy with myself for it. Do not let it bring you down, for like all of us at times, we stumble.

A song comes to mind: "We Fall Down" by Bob Carlisle

If you don't know it, give it a listen. Perhaps someone will be so kind as to post a link to a youtube of it.

We fall down ... we get up ...

I offer my hand

We see the signs all over the place:
No shirt no shoes no service
Don't walk on the grass
Don't feed the animals

When no longer fed, there is no fun left.

Like you pointed out, I fell for it. BTW: Do I still owe you that dollar?

I would walk away and leave this place if you were to say the word, rather than to contribute to such.

My sincere and deep apologies for offenses that I have contributed.

In His love,
Richard

We are square on the $1 thing....I fell for it stupid me ....

I am smacking my head.

I owe everyone here a $1

Richard....you are also one that I come on site and look for your posts..
(NOT that I understand some of the posts..as you know by now, I am not an intellectual.

)

Thank you so much for your encouraging support..it means a lot.
PLEASE "kick" me if you see me falling for that kind of thing again okay?

No, I had never heard the song before...but adding it here.
Every blessing....Helen

Ahh, we're square. I'm sure I owe you more than that anyway.
Some things one just can't place a monetary value upon.

Well I'll tell ya, there are times that I would gladly trade it all just to experience that simple and pure faith that I have witnessed in some. It is something that for whatever knowledge I may or may not have, I can not for the life of me grasp that simple and pure faith. That of a child. It is truly beautiful from my perspective.

We are called of our loving Father. We each have our various gifts, and those gifts work together for the good of all.

For all my years, I am still in awe to watch even on this forum, how the Holy Spirit works in the lives of us, and how one sows and another waters even on this forum.

Let no one deceive you! You, ByGrace, Helen, you are a part of that greater good. Now get up dear Sister, for our Father has work for you to continue.

"ByGrace" said:

ALRIGHT!!! Don't worry, I shall. I wouldn't miss an opportunity to kick you with your blessing upon it! <hearty chuckle>

And you have my permission to give me the ol' Gibb's head slap (from NCIS: a slap to the back of the head) if you see me screwing up.

Thank you for posting it. It is one of my goto songs when I screw up. Reminds me to get back on my feet.

Oh I am with you there, we have all the NCIS Seasons...we are great fans.
Can't believe that it can last much longer...they have done well. with it...wow 15 seasons!!!
Not been very keen at all on 'NCIS New Orleans'...but we just ( tonight) finished season 3 , we were delighted with it. ( the accents bothered me in seasons 1 and 2)...but #3 is well worth the watch. But Mark Harmon is the BEST

I'll have to give it another shot. I wasn't too keen on it either. Thanks for the tip.

I just recently started watching some of the Law and Order(s). Thanks to @Job mentioning it not all that long ago. So far, Law and Order SVU I have liked the best.

Indubitably! I love his rules!!!

Helen · Nov 12, 2017

Yes, I have something on my mind.

I'd like to know if anyone else gets what I get when on my lap top.

I am typing away and all of a sudden ( after much too long) I notice that what and where I am typing is right in the middle of what I have already written!!
Today has been particularly bad. Heaven knows how many things I have written , only to find that it is slap band in the middle of my post.

Why does my curser or whatever it is...jump unto what was previously written like that?
Any ideas?

I was reminiscing the other night and I really miss some of the old members who used to frequent this forum like Shep [Good Shepherd] Pompie [@Pompador], @ScottA [SAT777] although he does drop in from time to time. Also @Born_Again and @HammerStone and so many members who have either moved on or just grew out of forum posting I guess.....I just hope that no-one has actually passed away and we are not aware. That would be sad

Wow this is an old thread!...I miss some of the older, wiser members as well. I think a couple of them had health issues...one lost his wife but he has been here on and off...just not frequently.
What's on my mind? Mostly being drawn to enter into intercessory prayer....looking through the forum to see if anything is laid on my heart...maybe the older members would be something to intercede for.
Ok...fixing to go pray. Have a blessed day.

Thanks for the concern Angelina! Sorry, I have been scarce. No issues, this whole debacle has just messed up my routine.

God is good--blessing to all!

I know what you mean! But sometimes it's too hard to walk away when there is some good conversation going on!
Glad to see you today!

God is Good!
Garden flourishing...rain has been plenty.
Every day fresh food, canning, freezing.

Quarantining the healthy, weird to me.
But no matter, My routine is always keeping busy with What God has blessed me with.

Glory to God,
Taken

I really wish I could locate the 'start a new post' button. Debates about doctrine are not very interesting to me. I do enjoy discussions about who God is, what God wants from us, and the like. I really like to mix science with my religion, but I cannot find the correct button to "start a new post". I'm probably being a duffus and its probably right in front of my eyes - but I can't see it.
