I know I know this is a super oldie but it's still a goodie. Honk if you Love Jesus The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a "Honk If you Love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, I'm glad I did! What an uplifting experience followed! I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is. I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed! I found that LOTS of people love Jesus! While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny beach". I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only one finger stuck up in the air. I asked my teenage grandson who was in the car with me what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!

Thank you all for your posts. I am thankful that I never had anything horrific happen to me at the hands of another human being where I would have to personally deal with that. Can you imagine? Gads. But I guess forgiveness is important, as previous posters said, because otherswise these people have a hold over your life. Many times people eat themselves away at hating someone while that person goes on merrily with their life. I'm still pondering the posts and these thoughts so thanks all.

Well......my rottygrrl LOVES big juicy T-Bone's!

awesome quiz! What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Inland NorthYou may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop." P .

Well, I hate to kill the party, but I'm no cop lover. There are some cool ones, but there are ones who are freaking NAZIS as far as I'm concerned. (did i spell nazi's right?)So bah humbug.

Burgler wants to break into a house. He's sneaking across the lawn when he hears a voice - "Jesus is watching you!" He jumps, turns around, but he doesn't see anything. So he starts creeping across the lawn again. "Jesus is watching you!" He hears it again. So now the burglar is really looking around, and he sees a parrot in a cage by the side of the house. He says to the parrot, "Did you say that?" The parrot answers "Yes I did." So the burglar asks, "What's your name?" The parrot says "Moses." The burglar says "What kind of stupid idiot would name his parrot Moses?" The parrot laughs and says, "The same stupid idiot that named his Rottweiler 'Jesus' "

I just want to jump in here real quick and thank you both for your answers. I am reading them, and re-reading them and I think you both make some excellent points. This is something I have a super hard time with, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't go along with, or has a hard time with, the "sin is sin" no matter what it is. I could add more but I don't want to ramble and I am still pondering the posts. ooh, got another post while i was posting! Cool! going back to read it now.

I have a hard time with this. The bible commands us to forgive. Yet when it comes to atrotious acts I don't understand it. God doesn't forgive the devil right? How can we forgive things like the BTK killer? Especially when people are so damn unrepentive? Can somebody enlighten me a little? I recently saw an interview on TV where some Christian ministry was in a prison (that's a thankless job, I do have to hand it to people who do that) but what bugged me was he was preaching to some old serial killer, and the serial killer was telling the camera man what he learned, which really sickened me. He said that what he did was no worse than stealing a cracker. Sin is sin, weather you kill someone or steal a cracker. God help me that made me sick. There is something very faulty with that logic. I could go on but I'll leave it there. I know God's thoughts are higher than ours, but even He seems to get angry at certain things, like I know He got really mad after the Hebrews were delivered from the Egyptians and they made that golden calf. Thoughts anyone?

awww thanks Belle! Love your Scarlett pic btw!

LOLOL you are so funny Tom. Yeah I kind of am jonesing from my lack of GSing too. Thanks for missing me. ;)

Oh my goodness I had it totally wrong then. Thank you so much.

Hello all! I don't know where else to write this. I figured this was the best place. How do you pronounce the word Nicea? As in the council of Nicea. It is also a greek female name. That is what I'm interested in. Is it pronounced "Knee-kah"? This sounds like a stupid question but I have a reason for asking. Thanks for anyone that can help!

I come and go all the time and never make a huge announcement about it. That's why I love GS'ers. They never ask questions. But they always welcome me back with open arms.

DobieGrrrl...... Well, I'm no expert, but if I can add my 2 cents.........your baby will outgrow it. When Nico was 2 she was still the monster from hell. I mean, she was always friendly, (she was bred for temperment...bragging) but she had chewed up about everything in sight by that age. Attention? Ha! She came out of her mama's womb begging for attention. Another breeder wanted her because she is such a pretty dog (bragging rights) but the breeder swung her over to me because she figured I would be a more appropriate owner for her narcissistic personality....and she was right! Your dobie will outgrow it....somewhat. But that's probably her personality trait. And you really can't change a dog's personality anymore than a human. So just lay back and get used to it. We serve our animals as much as they serve us I suppose!

250 an hour which is still a lot cheaper than what guys would pay for a woman. So you were a branch leader! What a hoot! Damn they could sure have used somebody like you and your wife at the local boring offshoot out here! Oh well, off to work now. Have to put my fantasies aside for a couple hours anyway. ;)

Oh hey ladies, you'd be surprised at the power us "seasoned" women have over some of these young guys. It's a hoot. Try it sometime. Just throw out a " God I've been good for so long, I'm getting too damn frustrated." And you would be surprised at how many of these young guys are sympathetic to your problem. It's quite fun. I think that they look at older woman as being more of a safe bet then a young one. A young one might slap them in the face but they see an older woman as the worst that could happen is she'll say no but she will be complimented. And I think they're right! :P

I know Chatty and I think I'm in for it once Johnny reads that post too. But you guys are enciting me! Bad little greasespotters!

You know, I talk a lot but I'd probably chicken out. I think I'm just frustrated at being a good girl for so long. There is a local smoke shop, and I became friends with the owner over the years. He died last spring, but I still was close with one of his young sons. He (the son) actually brought in this friend of his. a 19 year old virgin, and tried to get me to..er..de-virginize him... The guy wanted to do it too! He was from Jordan, working for Dominick's taking classes on becoming a nurse, he was sweet, naive, good looking, and I just couldn't do it. Fantasy is fun, but reality really separates the players from the wannabes? But then Heidi and her stud farm is all about fantasy. What goes on there stays there, and you don't have to worry about running into the guy (or his buddies) on the street. So who knows? 1 and 1/2 hours away? Shoot. I'd drive longer to pick up a dog I wanted!

YEAH! Lay off or Lay! :lol:

I don't think PEE WEE would be one of her studs. I read that Heidi is actually getting some flack from other brother owners, for being sexist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now isn't that the most hypocrytical damn thing you ever heard? Straight guys and Gay men alike don't like what she's doing. Gawd almighty. Is there no justice in this world? They know she's tapping into something that's just waiting to burst open for business and they are trying to destroy her. HEY GUYS!!!!!!!!! LAY off! Let the lady make a living okay? Do your own thing but let her do hers!

I know isn't it hysterical? Such bad little Greasespotters! I'd really love to go there, and if I ever have money to burn....I just might. Like I said even if I chicken out I'd still come home with a T-Shirt (I'm SURE they'll be selling them) and walk around and brag that I had me a studsicle.
