HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARGOO!!!

Rosebud-forget the folks that think you need to have it all memorized! I can pull certain scriptures...but a lot of time they are paraphrased...but I get the meaning across. What is more important? to know scripture and feel proud? or to KNOW God and feel loved and redeemed? :)

love ya

Dennis' baby momma is being VERY difficult. She won't tell me where she is living. and MOST definitely won't let Haley see Dennis. this is icky.

Mamaduck - welcome back! Glad you joined us!

Rosebud - prayers ascending. Let us know if you need some backup.

Bev - prayers continuing for Dennis' family situation!



Hello to everyone else. Happy Friday. DH and I took the scooters out to a favorite restaurant/brewery. The weather is glorious and we had a delightful evening on the patio. Time to get some weeding done before we have a fire on the patio. I wish I could invite all of you over. Northern MI has the BEST weather this time of year :D

Hope you all have a great , on - plan, weekend!

Prayers continuing!

THANKS, BEV ~ I think you are right on with your advice (which BTW, is exactly what my DH said too), and I prayed a lot about it last night and today. I felt impressed with this answer -- it is not wise to dispute or debate scriptures or doctrine, becuz the bible is so subjective to the dozens and dozens of different 'translations' and the 'individual interpetations' of them, that it is futile to waste endless energy and time on semantics: words and meanings of words (becuz that's usually where this goes).

A friend we know (who is a bible teacher in her church), did a piece in our paper about this subject this week; and that is an awesome coincidence really -- and she said that when all is said and done, it comes down to one thing ... what do YOU believe?

Now, I have been doing a study, so I am learning a lot through this process; not just in studying the scriptures, but also how to handle this kind of situation in the future. I'll let others do their own bible study, becuz that's the way it should be. I believe that we won't ever agree about everything; and we do have the right to our own beliefs about different things. So some good is coming out of this, and that's what matters. Thanks for your encouragement; and prayers continue for your family.

THANKS LAURIE ~ It's so nice to know that we have so much support from Christian friends here. Yah, too bad we weren't closer, we could all go over to your place for a bonfire!

We went up town to pay some bills; and pick up just a few things we were out of (basics really). Picked up a BBQ spit chicken for dinner but made my own veggies and had salad with it; so stayed on plan today (credit moi). I also baked DH some blueberry bran muffins this AM (credit). I also got some walking in today (purposely walked around the entire perimeter of the store and uptown a bit; pllus I sat up town on the benches in the square where all the flowers are, just waiting for DH and enjoying life and some rays :sunny: (kudos to me).

:wave: HI TO ALL OUR OTHERS CE FRIENDS AND MIA'S OUT THERE -- hope you all have a great weekend! Take good care .. :hug:ROSEBUD:hug:^PRAYERS^ continuing for you and yours ...


THANKS GARY ~ for reminding me ... I have to go over and start a new thread for the Physical Challenges, and if no-one starts this one for you, I'll do it too ...

thank you ROSEBUD!

Hi All!

It has been such a long time since I've been here. Life has been very hectic, but I plan on getting back to posting.

Football practice has started and on the 24th school will start. This summer has gone so fast. I can't believer school is going to start. DH1 graduates this year. Last month we went and looked at a college he is interested in. It made me feel sad, but excited too. I want the best for all 3 of my boys.

I will write more tomorrow. Have a good night of rest to all of you and a blessed Sunday.

Kathy
