Word Wolf, Perhaps Mike has already given us the definition of 'mastering' by his example here at GS. He's mastered the art of boring us, frustrating us and rattling on about a womanizing booze hound who pawned himself off as a man of GOD! 'til the next time...

Nice!! 'til the next time...

I feel sad for you Chwester :(--> 'til the next time...

Thank YOU :D--> Thank YOU :D--> Thank YOU :D--> Thank YOU for all the heart you shared, for sharing your life with us and for being a part of this wonderful music thread! I pray you come back some day Ted. This music thread brought me together with some mighty wonderful people ~ this thread made that possible and I will always be thankful for that. Music is a very strong art form that brings people together. Here's a song for you Ted from one of my favourite singers. ALISON KRAUSS "I'll Remember You, Love, In My Prayers" When the curtains of night are pinned back by the stars And the beautiful moon sweeps the sky Dewdrops from Heaven are kissing the rose It's then that my memory flies Well, upon the wings of a beautiful dove I'll hasten this message of cheer And I'll bring you a kiss of affection and say I'll remember you love in my prayers Now the angels of Heaven are guarding the good As God has ordained them to do In answer to prayers that I offer to Him I know there's one waiting for you Now go where you will upon land or on sea And I'll share all your sorrows and cares At night as I kneel by my bedside to pray I'll remember you, love, in my prayers Well at night as I kneel by my bedside to pray I'll remember you, love, in my prayers Merci.

Well since this thread has been ressurected sorta speak, I must contribute. Yes, music is spiritual. I believe that. It can touch you and speak to your soul. Like the incident Chatty gave. It is Godly. Music describes a time in history. Be it Mozart or Elvis or The Lennon Sisters or The Beatles or Louis Armstrong or or or. They all speak of a time. They all express the good, the bad and the ugly of human existence. I often feel that through my journey in TWI, I was so often deprived of connecting with certain musics because it was maybe 'negative' or the musician was 'possessed' or that the musician had certain non-TWI beliefs. Give me a break! Therefore, I know I shelved music or I stigmatized it because of my 'way' of thinking. Not anymore. Sure there is certain music I don't enjoy and probably never will and that's ok, that's just taste. But, at least now, I feel free to listen to what my heart is drawn to and I do not feel I must stiffle my love for music anymore. Nice post Imablvr. Nice to see ya Chatty. Geessh, didn't mean to sound so philisophical there. --> 'til the next time...

My dear Steve, You are such a sentimental guy ~ :P--> 'til the next time...

OK, Braveheart Titanic 'til the next time...

Sockster, I had e-mailed you the first night I was invited by Hope to go in and chat. Did you get the message? Ya, it's a bit wonky at first, but great to meet those you've been dying to say hi to... It was exciting... :D--> 'til the next time...

Hello! Well today I was reading on GS on the 'Normal' thread and it got me thinking about many many things. I was listening to some Jann Arden at the time and this song came up called Looking For It (Finding Heaven). It really spoke to me. Especially the undoing I have to do at times with my Waybrain. Enjoy! Looking For It (Finding Heaven) Written by - Jann Arden Richards & Robert Foster I'll bite the hand that feeds the pain I'll lay my life down for love I lost the truth, I lost my way But I am looking for it Oh I am looking for it now I am looking for it Oh I am looking for myself A savior sent to save the world An angel has no armor Now torn and bent, no wings unfurl We are looking for it Oh we are looking for it now We are looking for it We need to find but one thing good And under every star (I'm finding Heaven) In every breath of air (I'm finding Heaven) In everything I have (I'm finding Heaven) In everything I am...oh The world is big, the world is bad But I will find the beauty - I see a vision in my head I am looking for it Oh I am looking for it Oh I am looking for myself I am looking for it - I am looking for it now I am looking for it Oh I am looking for it now Oh I am looking for myself Thanks GS for helping me on my search and you wonderful GSer's who have spent time with me one on one. You are precious. Chatty this is the best thread ever! 'til the next time...

Well, this evening I was blessed by the kindness of a somewhat stranger. I heard this song played this evening and it will always have a special place in my heart. Someday Soon There's a young man that I know, his age is twenty-one Comes from down in southern Colorado Just out of the service And he's lookin' for his fun Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon My parents can not stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo My father says that he will leave me cryin' I would follow him right down the toughest road I know Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon And when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a good word to say Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days So blow, you old Blue Northern, blow my love to me He's drivin' in tonight from California He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon When he comes to call, my pa ain't got a word to say Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days Blow, you old blue northern, blow my love to me He's drivin' in tonight from California He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon Judy Collins 'til the next time...

Larry, Sounds like another 'stolen soul' to me. Must tell you sir, your posts are fantastic! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us on GS. I loved the one on the "intelligence" thread! Bonsoir! 'til the next time...

Chatty, You're a great lady! The guy with the long hair was the one who said the bra line! :P--> 'til the next time...

OK, First, about Chatty's comment on not knowing what's happening in the music world today. Yes, I am always aware of this. I make it a point of listening to several different music stations in the car (soft rock/classical/jazz/rock n'roll/country). I play flick all the time and drive my poor children insane. :D--> That's where I heard Norah Jones. Not much jumps out at me, but when it does I'm like a fly on fly paper :P--> stuck. OK, Concert - It's not a big deal, but it sure was to me! :D--> Like I said, I was a dancin' fool. You couldn't help yourself. It wasn't a big lightshow/musicianship appreciation night, but it was like this big hoedown. Get down and have some fun. Like a big 'kitchen party' they'd call it. It was when someone through a padded bra on stage and one the musicians picked it up and said "Jesus, Mary, Joseph..." that's when I split my gut laughing. Those Newfies sound just like Irishmen and just as crazy! This music does something for me I think, because of my heritage. It's a french/irish thing. Yet, I know of many people with the same heritage who are not drawn to this music like I am and also those who do not have the heritage and are just as wild as I am about it. So, I don't really have an explanation... Oh they also did this medley of rock and roll tunes. It was great. Another thing I loved about the evening was the age of the audience. Ages were from 7 to 65 and older. Hard to tell. All ages were there, standing and dancing and singing. They had the audience singing many verses and they'd just play. It was cool ! You're welcome OAK, it was my pleasure! Well, thanks for letting me share. Merci, 'til the next time...

Yeah! Ted's Back! :D--> Just back from Great Big Sea concert! I was a dancin' fool! A little like that dancin' guy Socks has! Yup, that was me. I'll be back later when I'm rested to share about the night! 'til the next time... OH MY GOD! I did it again.... I started a new page - revelation typing for sure

Hope, My favourite Eagles tune: Take It Easy Well, I'm running down the road tryin' to loosen my load I've got seven women on my mind, Four that wanna own me, Two that wanna stone me, One says she's a friend of mine Take It easy, take it easy Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy Lighten up while you still can don't even try to understand Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy Well, I'm a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and such a fine sight to see It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me Come on, baby, don't say maybe I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me We may lose and we may win though we will never be here again so open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load, got a world of trouble on my mind lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find Take it easy, take it easy don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy come on baby, don't say maybe I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me, oh oh oh Oh we got it easy We oughta take it easy I realize this song is kinda' raw... but I still love it! 'til the next time...

QQ, Wheww, what a post buddy. There's a million things I want to say about that post. Don't even know where to start. WateredGarden, Welcome! 'til the next time...

Hello Le Café de Musique, Just bought a new CD this evening. Nickel Creek's new album called ~ This Side ~ Life is good. Tomorrow Great Big Sea! Whoohoo! :D--> 'til the next time...

Ok, I need a break from the 'Wierwille Wars'. Breath A la, Breath... OK, am listening the Mike and the Mechanics ~ In The Living Years and a loverly song by James Taylor... Song For you Far Away. ;)--> PHEWWWWWW, feeling much better now! 'til the next time...

OLDIES, I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY POSTED THAT! Wake up boy! Time to wake up! Even if she 'wanted' it, he being the 'spiritual one' should have said "NO Madame Not for me! I'm a minister of God." (this is hypothetical obviously!) 'til the next time...

Ahhh the Music Thread! Thank you Chaussettes! ;)--> Yes, that is quite a song isn't it ~ loaded with all sorts of messages. A fine Work. Hey, I'm on my way to a concert this week ~ 'Great Big Sea'!!! They're a Celtic/Rock band with such a different sound. Lots of energy! They are from Newfoundland and do both traditional and original music. The 'Sea of No Cares' is their latest album. Well, A la Prochaine will surely be thinking of you all here in this music café as I'm dancing in the aisles, hopping and doing some pretty immature things for a lady of my age! :P--> Thank you again Socks for taking the time to post those words. They are soothing to the soul... 'til the next time...

I think being M&A'd is worse than leaving on your own. We were first dropped from our corps status, which nearly flattened us completely, then a few months later were told we were no longer welcome at the Way. We were isolated and had no one to communicate with. No one contacted us. We couldn't figure out what exactly we had done wrong. So for 8 yrs. we plodded along, with so much pain and hurt. Then we found GS and Waydale. Then the answers came. Then we found out about the lawsuits and the 'rest of the story' and the pieces slowly started falling into place. I know if we hadn't found these places, we would still be wanderers. 'til the next time...

Ahhhhh, Ted is Back... :D--> A la is happy. :D--> My bleeding heart buddy is back again! Hey I was listening to some Aselin Dobesin and got thinking how I would have never found this little 'angels' voice if it had not been for this music thread. When I see a song someone mentions or posts lyrics too and I don't recognize them, I quickly run to my Kazaa lite site and down the song comes. And, usually it's a great find! :D-->. So, I just thought I'd let everyone know how much I appreciate your posts. And I have made some mighty fine friends in our little musical café here too. Merci! :)--> N.B. I'm listening to 'Summerside of Life' ~ Gordon Lightfoot! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! :D--> 'til the next time...
