Am thinking about my exit strategy for my church and it fills me with anxiety. We are moving about forty minutes away in October. But it will still be very noticeable when we leave. Our church's members were almost all retired when we came. We were the first young couple to come under their...

I had canned lentil soup, two veggie burgers that refused to come apart, and an egg for dinner. Now the journal is out, tea is made, and Chillhop is playing. I want so badly to finish this five subject notebook journal so I can switch to this beautiful Van Gogh journal I bought months ago...

Hope you had a good day.

Thank you!!

Feeling sad. But you know the people who are clearly shamelessly crying for attention on Facebook? Maybe we should give them some. Everyone wants to feel important and like they matter so Im no longer going to judge the ones that clearly want that.

Today I shared what I was learning about modern traditions vs biblical church with the ladies at the crisis pregnancy ministry where I volunteer. Our beloved director agreed with me. She has stopped attending her current church. She considers our ministry to be her real source of fellowship...

Thanks everyone for your responses so far. @Ferris Bueller , thank you for responding to every part of my message!! Maybe I should use bullet points more often. Thank you for sharing that you've never known a church that could admit its wrong. My expectations for trying to win my pastor away...

I read the tracts, looked up some of the Scriptures referenced, and watched the videos. It's given me quite a lot of things to think about.

If thats how you define sins of omission, then sure. But the keywords are "if anyone knows the good." I don't think were meant to overwhelm ourselves with this. But we deal with the good we know to do one moment and choice at a time. So no, we don't have sin every day. Are you sure? God did...

I believe we have freewill but why do you think free will is important. I did read all your posts. I'm a bit confused. I get that they made him white in paintings but how did they rob the Christians of Jesus? Luke's gospel shouldn't be in the Bible because he isn't a Jew?

If by thought-sin you mean the weird thoughts that pop into your head, I don't consider that sin. Those are part of being in an imperfect body. They can definitely become sin but at that point you have a choice to either dwell on it or cast it down before you act on it. I don't really buy the...

I made it to 9pm without feeling like going to bed early. Mondays are actually nice for me. It's almost like my sabbath. Hubby is off at work so its just me caring for myself. I usually don't miss him too bad this early in the week. And I love the thrift store on Mondays.

What a sad indictment on churches today. The government shouldn't be more reliable than us!

Had a good day. Took care of things. Am relaxing with my favorite Chocolate Rooibos tea, journal, Chillhop live radio, and no lit candle because the wicks are too far down for me to comfortably get to. I could use a long lighter. I got a small scrapbook for when I want to fit creative stuff...

I shouldn't be surprised but if I think about this too much, I think Id be really upset. What can I say? I really am sorry this happened to you. I know words are meaningless. If you needed help, Id help as much as I could. I mean it. I know I got help when I needed it.

That really bites. At least when I tried going off meds in the past, it was my own stubbornness.

Some people insisted I should get off medication and seek alternative healing. But they are not responsible for the damage that may be done if it fails, so I wish they would be quiet.

I'll be honest, when I seriously consider speaking to them, I get a sinking feeling. I don't know that I'd get a positive response. I love our pastoring couple but they went into partial debt to cover $15,000 worth of carpet and chairs. We have a small membership so we couldn't afford it. I...

Acts 2:45 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. Could you easily get what you needed from that church? If so, than that's one thing. That's what the early church did. But if you had to give everything but couldn't get financial help still...

Thanks Frienduff! You are loved, Brother!!
