My husband's sister died today. She was 37. She had one grown daughter, an eight year old, and a one year old. Her husband lost his mother less than six months ago. His father and brother both died when he was a child. The hospital doesn't know why she died. The coronor's doing an autopsy. She always was sickly. She was born with a hole in her heart. Later on in life, she develped Crohn's disease. She had a small tear in her intestine which was causing her to catch continuous infections but no surgeon in our town would operate to repair it as there was an over ninety percent chance of it returning due to the Crohn's, the family's been told. She'd been getting large abcesses on her legs and this was the second time she'd been hospitalized to have one removed. They couldn't be lanced because they were more solid than liquid. She was running a low grade fever this morning, still at the hospital. She was sleeping, and her husband fell asleep in the chair next to the bed. When he woke up, she was lying on the floor. He called for a nurse who discovered she didn't have a pulse. The doctors and staff tried to start her heart back up and get her on a breathing machine but it was just too late. Because she was so young and there was no apparant reason for her death, her room was treated like a crime scene. Everything was photographed and tagged. We're not sure when we can bury her or get her stuff. I'm just kind of numb right now. She was the youngest sibling. It's just crazy.

Church yesterday

What's a gulag school?

Ewww!

I was really sick when my son brought a dead locust into the house this afternoon. He couldn't understand why on Earth I wouldn't love having that in my kitchen.

So...does God make people do things or does He just know what they're going to do ahead of time?

Hebrews 13:5 (New King James Version) For He Himself has said,

That guy is a fruitcake of the rottenest sort.

Elijah prayed for a boy to be risen from the dead and he was. Also, before Jesus died, Lazarus rose from the dead.

The Hebrew for "serve" used there in Genesis 25:23 is 'abad. http://net.bible.org/strong.php?id=05647 It can also be translated submit, subject, be subject, subjugate, transgress, or even honor.

A departure from complete financial liberty?

I'm just putting myself in their shoes. I'd feel really uncomfortable doing this! Giving the gifts or receiving them?

I would.

Whoa, that's rough. I don't even remember my dad's funeral I was so distraught at the time. A pool party? I would've considered it a travesty.

I call my dad's date of death his new birthday. He entered into a new phase of life on that day. I like to try and celebrate his life on that day and celebrate the fact that He's now with the Father.

A conversation came up the other day that started me thinking about what would happen to our kids if both my husband and I died. I brought it up to my husband last night and he wants our children to go to someone I DO NOT want them to go to. So, is it wise to plan for the future, pursue the issue even though it could cause strife, both of us pray about it and come to a compromise? Or is it fear of something that might never happen and a lack of faith that God would take care of my kids if something like that happened?

I like birthdays. I like giving my kids birthday parties. I like throwing people surprise birthday parties. I like birthday cake. I like it when everyone gets together. I like it when people see how much other people care about them. I just like birthdays.

Pray.

No that's not my question. I want to know where do the stripes fit in with crucifixion and our salvation? What Charitow means is, if you can find out why the stripes were administered, you might find out where they fit.

Daniel 8:23-25 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft (fraid, deceit, treachery)to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand." Daniel 7:20-21 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Daniel 7:24-27 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Daniel 8:11 "Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host and by him was the daily sacrifice taken away. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. If Antichrist is a power and not a man, then why are these verses describing him a a.....him?

Omniscience: Job 37:16 (New King James Version) Do you know how the clouds are balanced, Those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge? Job 36:4 (New King James Version) For truly my words are not false; One who is perfect in knowledge is with you. 1 John 3:20 (New King James Version) For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Hebrews 4:13 (New King James Version) And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Isaiah 46:9-10 (New King James Version) Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying,
