You are still AWAKE.... and I am now AWAKE.... soon you will be going to sleep and I will STILL be AWAKE. LOL
@Truman ... So... there are phases to assembling a puzzle.
This morning as I begin with the Cottage puzzle...
I am entering phase 1... Not sure if this is how everyone does their puzzles but this is how I do mine.
Dump... sort and separate the border pieces... and group by colour.. I have two large white dish mats to lay all the pieces on.
I like to be organized.. and so the sorting of pieces according to colour helps to make the puzzle easier to assemble... but it is a tedious
job.
By the end of today... I will have my pieces all sorted and my border put up... THEN it BEGINS.... the process of SLEWING a puzzle... LOL

I think most people have figured out that doing the border first is the best way... it sets the stage...
Do you separate the colours?? EXAMPLE... in my cottage puzzle... I can tell which pieces are the cottage... so I place those in a pile..
I also have separated the flowers in the garden by colours...
I never know where I am going to start... until I have the border up...
Anyways... not a very interesting topic... but... it's all I've got at 4 in the morning... LOL
Yeah, now that I think about it, I separate colors too.
I'm glad you're a night owl. It seems that ever since I acknowledged to myself that I seem to be having liver trouble, my sleeping is out of whack...not that it was really in whack. I'm less stressed.
I was just listening to TTFH 21 and all that music is starting to sound like it did to me when it was new. I feel like I'm coming back into renewal. I used to regularly play and sing every song on this album. I used to have about 200 songs that I had practiced up and could choose from.
I would easily play and sing for four hours at a time. I used to wear everybody out. I'd start every day by closing myself up in my music room and worshipping God for four hours.
Before Dean the worship leader handed the reigns over to me, he told me that I was holding the church together. I think he was referring to the anointing God had placed on me. At the time I wasn't sure what he meant and I felt a little burdened.
Our church had about a hundred "members" and any given Sunday there would be about 70 people out. A small church but I liked it. We did community outreaches to housing projects. We ministered to the poor and the ones that the other churches didn't.
We brought the Vineyard way of doing things to town. It's everywhere now.
HAHAHA... I am NOT a night owl... I am an early bird... I go to bed by 4 pm.... and wake up any time after midnight...
I like the sounds of the church you have described... I would go to a church a like that... I was spoiled when I lived in London...
the church I went to would start by 1 hour of Worship before church started... I went from a person who was so reserved and
petrified to show any kind of emotion in public... to one who by the end of it all was often found prostrate before the Lord at the altar... or on my knees with hands held high.
I miss corporate Worship... very much... There is a special annointing given when done in Spirit and in Truth. Entering the Throne room is always where I wanted to be... and so Worship is my supernatural entry.
This summer has been my re-uniting with long periods of simply Worshipping... For some reason... I neglected to REMEMBER the importance of it all... but now I am back... and OH what a glorious way to spend my days...

Nope... Open Door Fellowship... The pastor died last year... Howard Katz... a Messianic Jew... His brother Harvey has taken over.
I know exactly where LGT is.. but never attended.
I know exactly where LGT is.. but never attended.
Well the Katz from the church are multi-millionaires... and I had my issues with the pastor... In my opinion... Howard was a teacher... NOT a pastor... But then... my idea of a pastor is someone with a Father's heart. I only attended for about 2 years.
Nothing like my family. My son Josh and step-son Caleb work for Messianic Jews. They're doing pretty good. I had a friend named Sam. He has a father's heart, and is a pastor. He's half-Jewish. He now lives in South Porcupine.
I checked the distance.. you are only an hour away from my stomping grounds...
I think the trade mark of a pastor should be one with a Father's heart... that was not the case at Open Door... You had a very rich man who was gifted at teaching... and was an author of several books... It should have stayed that way... but because this church was birthed from a home meeting prayer group getting too big... he became the pastor...
My daughter is very close to his wife... she is now a widow... I could not stomach all the grovelling at the church.... everyone wanted a part of the pastor's money and prestige.. there was a lot of sucking up... and trying to get in with the inner circle... To his credit... he was a very humble man... but the whole scenario was NOT my cup of tea... too much white privilege...
Anyways... I have a thing for rich people... so it's my problem... Most people loved him... He helped a lot of men... and mentored them.
Us women got left out of the deal... LOL

I hate kissing-up in the church. I was a minor celebrity in some people's eyes. Everybody wanted to be my friend. Until they didn't. It was my anointing. I guess you can call it a renewal anointing. I still have it. But only God can tell me to use it. Sigh.
White privilege...what's that? My family has had to work hard for every cent. My parents grew up in a tiny, poor part of New Brunswick. We were basically hillbillies.

White privilege... It's a rich... white man's world... It's how I see the running of things... Not saying I'm right... it's simply my observation.
Entitled.... The Trumps of the world.

There was a revival in the Hebrides in Scotland. A few old ladies who were house-bound prayed the revival into existence. A pastor at a local church ran the meetings. A young man got saved and became the pastor's right-hand. The young man's name was Donald.
A girl used to attend the meetings. She was impressed with Donald. She later moved to the States and married a man. They had children, one she named Donald, after the pastor's assistant. Donald John Trump, that is. The bible that Trump was seen waving around the Whitehouse was that pastor's bible.
Donald Trump was put into office by God, God told me so. Trump has helped a lot of people. He was supposed to get in again, but the people failed to pray him in. I know this because God also told me this.
If Trump had gotten back in, we wouldn't be in this situation. People have been brainwashed by the media as to the character of Trump. I watched like an eagle from June, 2016 until Last November.
I had to stop watching because what I saw stressed me out too much. I blame the church for what happened. And what is happening.
I hate what I see in the church with all the rich pastors. I hate the prosperity gospel.
I was offered the worship leader role in a well-off church. Then they preached the prosperity gospel. I left and it was 13 years before I entered another church, which, btw, was a big mistake. Going to the church, that is.
