The prince of darkness is having a hayday with all of this right now, but, that's ok. Have at it! He knows his time is going to end. In the meantime, I have already decided to not even turn my T.V. on this Tuesday. I have NO celebration to give and I certainly don't condone some of the stuff I've heard about. Like, that gay bishop. I'm not watching any of it. Just my two cents worth.

Our God is very awesome. Praise Him forever!

Just my 2 cents worth here. I've been following the headlines on Israel myself. Yeah, the way they word it makes it appear that Israel just started sending rockets into Gaza. It isnt until later you read that this is in response to Hamas sending rockets into Israel first. The headlines are misleading. And all the film coverage they are showing. I sympathize with the innocent ones that have gotten caught up in this battle. But there are innocent ones on both sides of the line. Israel has the right to protect themselves. They always seem to be made out to be the bullies. for Israel.

Oh Yeah, you also forgot the....... Good!!!!!!

There are times when God allows things to happen, and there are times when He wont allow things to progress as they are. Either way, He can take what we humans do to each other and turn them around to bring glory to His Name. People cause most of the bad things that happen to happen, whether because of carelessness, negligient acts, greed, jealously , hatred. Which for the most part is satans work in and through people. Even so, God can turn the bad into good and for His glory. He never promised that by following Him our lives would be easy and joyful all the time. Jesus did tell us that in this world we would have tribulation, but to be of good cheer, for He had already overcame the world.

This is one of those areas in my life that I have had a problem with. Im divorced. My ex husband was an abuser and had quite afew affairs over the course of the years we were married. He, finally, left our family to be with someone else, with whom he married after our divorce became final. He refused to file for the divorce, and it was 2 1/2 years later before I could file. He left our family with nothing. No support. Never paid a dime of support. It took me a long time to finally forgive him for all he put us through. Unless I just dont think on it, sometimes I struggle with the phrase in the wedding vows "What God has joined together, let no one put asunder." To me, how can and does God bless this marriage. He didnt bring them together. The two of them did, one cheating on his wife and the other knowing he's married but draws him from his family. This is one reason I cling to my signature verse "Lean not on your own understanding....." The one main scar that all of this has left me, is Im scared, I guess, to try again. Finding and getting married again. I feel I didnt do anything wrong to cause this all to happen, but I cant seem to get past it all......

Yes, Stepoffaith, we must do all we can do to open their eyes that this is so wrong. It not only puts Terris life in jeopardy but it can also start a domino effect in regards to those with disabilities.....I use to work in a nursing home as a nurse aide, and have worked with many different situations, even those in a comatose condition..........but to literally starve a patient so they will die, where in the medical oath does it say its ok to do this as the only means to make a person die.........court order or not, those health officials are just as guilty of murder if they allow this to happen as her husband is........

The kind of life support she is on is a feeding tube........all her other vital organs are still functioning without machines.........Im sorry you feel this way in regards to a human life...no matter how insignificant it may seem in your eyes, remember, that human lives belongs to God, as all of creation does............not ours and not her husband........and how barbaric it makes us as human beings to belittle a persons life as an animal would do.......In the animal world, only the strong survive......and I thought our lives were more valuable than animals........Jesus said we are to love one another as He has loved us......if this option were placed in front of Jesus, what would He decide......if His will was to take her home, then, He would of done so, but He hasnt yet. So, is it our call to decide 'when' that decision will be made? If He had wanted her life to end, He would of ended it by now......... The following is part of an article posted on Reclaiming Americas site; http://www.reclaimamerica.org/PAGES/pressr....asp?story=2514

I would like to share with others what happened to me many years ago. I have three children, all grown now, but this happened when I only had my two oldest girls and they were still toddlers. I was alone with the two girls one night, being that my husband was a truck driver, and had one girl on each side of me. Sometime during the night, I had this dream or possibly an OBE? I remember looking down from the ceiling at myself and the two girls sleeping below. Then I turned and started going up towards this brilliant light. As I neared the light, I said "No, Lord. My girls still need me" At which a voice replied "Very well, but next time you must come". At which time, I then woke up in bed along with my two girls, but had this heavy feeling in my chest. So, Im not quite sure what happened. This was at a time when I hadnt even heard anything about OBE or NDE. It was several years later when I first heard about this happening to others.

It is my understanding from articles I have read in regards to this case, that it is her husband that wants to have the feeding tube removed and allow (or should I say 'make') her to die. I can understand if she had to remain on life support to keep her alive that this question of removing that support would come into question. But not a feeding tube. To starve her to make her die? How horrible that would be. She still feels pain, hunger, and from what clips Ive seen on her, love........so, to starve her so she will die? How far is this society of ours going to go? Thats the same to me as if someone needed insulin and to deny them that insulin so they will die. Thats like saying this person can no longer be of any value to society or the rat race life we live in, so get rid of them..........How insensitive to a persons life. A life that belongs to God. Just my two cents worth.

Id have to say my favorite one is O Holy Night Others that I like are: Silent Night Mary Did You Know O Come, O Come Emmanuel What Child Is This

Welcome to Worthyboard, Refuge There are alot of good churches out there yet, and, unfortunately, there are those that are not as open or accepting of those that to them are 'different' Im so sorry that in your quest to find answers to the questions you have that you have come across those. Man in general are full of mistakes, we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Thats why God sent His only Son, Jesus, to bridge that gap between us and God. Youve come to the right place to help in your search for answers, being here in this forum, but if I may suggest, search Gods word, the Bible, for the answers you seek. Put your trust in Jesus to help you find the answers you need. I am including a link to a site that Billy Graham has that offers answers to some of your questions. But, also, feel free to ask those in this forum, too. May God bless you in your search for Him. http://www.billygraham.org/SH_StepsToPeace.asp Steps to Peace with God Step 1 God's Purpose: Peace and Life God loves you and wants you to experience peace and life

I have many that are favorites, some of them are: Psa 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Prov 3:5,6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding...In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths." John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 2Co 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight: Phillipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Ro 8:28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.

Cats. you and all in Florida are in my prayers throughout this storm. I once lived in Florida, myself. Never through a direct hit from a hurricane, but many tropical depressions and tropical storms..........Hold on to our Lord to see you through this trying time................

I believe, like others do here, that if Jesus had been married, it would of been stated as so in the Bible.........The church is the bride of Christ, and He has gone to prepare a place for His bride......... Rev 19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Rev 19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.
