Thanks!! :)-->

Yes. I am much more "reflective" now about all things. And though I will "open up" to complete strangers about myself, I agree with Bramble -- I have no friends with a capital "F".

About 8 years ago, I did something really stupid, got caught, and needed immediate help, and had no one to call on (so I thought). I was really agonizing over it in prayer, confessing to Father and asking for help. I looked out the window, and literally "saw" the name of a friend over my back yard. I am not joking, it was there. I called him up, met with him, confessed, we prayed, and he helped pull me out of the situation I was in. God honors honest prayer always, no matter who taught you what, or when. I never worried about twi during that situation. I was thankful for the deliverance.

What an oxymoron! -->

CFF?? Heard of them, but am not sure who they are. -->

And to add to what WhiteDove said, prayer simply means "to ask". IMHO if you ask for something, you are expecting an answer, or else they are empty words, and not sincere. I am guessing you were VERY sincere when you prayed for her -- witness the result. :)--> Just because docvic and twi taught these things doesn't mean that the concept of ministering healing is "junk bible". She pulled you aside, right?? Ever stop to think that perhaps God told her to do so? She must have been praying (asking) previously, and got your name as an answer. God knew your heart, reguardless of twi "upbringing". :)-->

In a sense -- yes. However, I can easily say, that I feel like I know everyone here much more than I would the "average Joe". Maybe not a "true" friendship, however when I meet "so-and-so" "face to face", I will feel like I already know them from the thoughts they have posted. And that is a huge advantage. (IMHO) :)-->

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA!! I never met you in person, but am wishing you the "best" anyway. :)--> WhiteDove -- do you think she really comes here? -->

I have two sets here at the house. Do you want one of them Vickles? :D-->

Johniam __ HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Larry P. --- HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Oak -- yes we were. :)--> I was "so kind and gentle" back then, folks thought that if I moved any slower, I'd be in a coma! :D--> :D-->

WordWolf -- We can only hope and pray so!! :)-->

WordWolf -- so true. I would think that they would have much more for sale now, but they have no "bookstore" offering even the stuff they promote now. --> Go figure. -->

"What's this green stuff in the brownies"? :D-->

We NEVER had kool-aid at our twigs, and if we did, I'd a been suspecting that it was "spiked". :D--> Buncha old hippies here back then. Never knew what was gonna happen!! "specially at refreshment time!"

I see this here, and can only think -- Good Gawdddddddd, Thank You for getting me out when You did, back in the mid-80's. -->

He most likely does, to himself!! MOG don'tcha know. -->

Glad2B -- last time I was on their site, they had NOTHING to offer for sale. NOTHING is what rocks dream about. Aristotle

I find food where I can get it, and it usually is NOT at home! B/K's slogan of "Home of the Whopper" was started here in Duluth, Mn. by Nick Patronas, who sold the slogan to B/K, and made a pile of money in doing so. (At the time, he had a restaraunt called "Nick's", and the sign over the door said "Home of the Whopper"). He was approached by B/K with an offer to buy the slogan. He accepted, and the rest is history. Nick has 5 or 6 B/K restaraunts in the area, and given the "time's are a'changing" "rhetoric" happening these days, he offered more than "just burgers" when the public demanded it. Don't know if he came up with the change on his own, or if it was "mandated" by B/K headquarters (after he sold the slogan), but it makes sense. He has (since) promoted his B/K restaraunts, as a "family" place, and "not just a burger joint". Chicken makes sense. Wonder if meatloaf is on the menu next?? :D-->

:)--> Yes.

or maybe because of lcm's teachings on the subject. :D-->

Perhaps he is in "denial" because of his first cousin's past "exploits"? -->

Is Joyce Meyer on radio, or tv? --> Heard of her, but haven't heard her.

Berkley is moving out of California, and headed east??
