Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Dad and I were brought to a place of rejoicing when we read your reply to the fiirst part of testimony. Thank God for His faithfulness to all of us honey. We love you, Mom

In 1984 I wrote a testimony of my introduction to the Lord and how that had worked through my life. After reading through the eight pages I decided that I should perhaps share it in segments. Following will is the first portion of a testimony from the article I wrote back in 1984.

Remembrance Bringing Forth Testimony

#1

In September 1976 I went to my husband on one of those occasions we were talking and told him I knew I was becoming too attracted to a business associate who had taken the time to listen and console me. If he didn

Below is a poem that looks back to the Ol Times - Has it really gotten worse or was it there all the time and we did't have the technolgy to know it?? Me I think it got worse but I'm old!

THE OLD PATHS...

Where did it all go?

THE OLD PATHS

I liked the old paths, when

Moms were at home.

Dads were at work.

Brothers went into the army.

And sisters got married BEFORE having children!

Crime did not pay;

Hard work did;

And people knew the difference.

Dads would work;

Children would behave..

Husbands were loving;

Wives were supportive;

And children were polite.

Women wore the jewelry;

And Men wore the pants.

Women looked like ladies;

Men looked like gentlemen;

And children looked decent.>

People loved the truth,

And hated a lie;

They came to church to get IN,

Not to get OUT!

Hymns sounded Godly;

Sermons sounded helpful;

Rejoicing sounded normal;

And crying sounded sincere.

Cursing was wicked;

Drinking was evil;

And divorce was unthinkable.

The flag was honored;

America was beautiful;

And God was welcome!

We read the Bible in public;

Prayed in school; And preached from house to house

To be called an American was worth dying for;

To be called a traitor was a shame!

Sex was a personal word.

Homosexual was an unheard of word,

And abortion was an illegal word.

Preachers preached because they had a message;

And Christians rejoiced because they had the VICTORY!

Preachers preached from the Bible;

Singers sang from the heart;

And sinners turned to the Lord to be SAVED!

A new birth meant a new life;

Salvation meant a changed life;

Following Christ led to eternal life.

Being a preacher meant you proclaimed the word of God;

Being a deacon meant you would serve the Lord;

Being a Christian meant you would live for Jesus;

And being a sinner meant someone was praying for you!

Laws were based on the Bible;

Homes read the Bible;

And churches taught the Bible.

Preachers were more interested in new converts,

Than new clothes and new cars.

God was worshiped;

Christ was exalted;

And the Holy Spirit was respected.

Church was where you found Christians

On the Lord's day, rather than in the garden,

On the creek bank, on the golf course,

Or being entertained somewhere else.

I still like the old paths the best!

"The Old Paths" was written by a retired minister who lives in Tennessee

Your right Honey, in case you are wondering this is your wife, and we have had a good ride but the Old Path was great. We need to do our best with Gods help to make a unique life, One like no other as we are unique people. Love you

Can some one who was given to Jesus,by the Father, go to hell???

Arminian .... yes

Calvinist ..... no

woot amen

Believe we have our free will something that has not been taken from us but that we are responsible for and the walk we move forward in. God will direct our steps but we will take the steps.

Weeping

I knew a man who lived in fear.

It was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near.

Behind his house, a secret place

Was the shadow of the demon he could never face.

He built a wall of steel and flame

And men with guns, to keep it tame.

Then, standing back, he made it plain

That the nightmare would never ever rise again.

But the fear and the fire and the guns remained.

It doesn't matter now.

It's over anyhow.

He tells the world that it's sleeping.

But as the night came 'round

I heard it's lonely sound.

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.

And then one day the neighbors came.

They were curious to know about the smoke and flame.

They stood around outside the wall,

But of course there was nothing to be heard at all.

"My friends," he said, "we've reached our goal.

The threat is under firm control.

As long as peace and order reign

I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain,

Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."

It doesn't matter now.

It's over anyhow.

He tells the world that it's sleeping.

But as the night came 'round

I heard it's lonely sound.

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.

Thank God His shoulders are broad, He will carry us all as we make our way to the wall!

Hey Giaour,

I've been coming into the boards off and on lately beucase of homework and stuff, but I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done. I've been noticing the threads on here.. thanking the admins, congradulating them on everything they do.... you have been such an encouragement to everyone on here and I just want to thank you for that.

((((((((((((((((((((((Giaour)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) *party in admin closet!*

Crystal

Thank you Crystal. We need to keep sending acculades to the admins. and staff of Worthy Boards. I too thank them for the dilligence and protection as we post here and there. They watch out for us and for people on the sites. Thank you again we do appreciate all you do. Glo

Thanks, folks, for your prayers and concerns. Another milestone has been reached in the rebuilding of my life.

Stevej, you would approve!

It's always good to reach a minestone. Especially rebuilding a life. That is a joy to the Father, can't help but bring glory to Him.

thank for your explanation about where it came from.

hhmmm ask akabu or genev

what about a simple one just for Shazza ?

she sells sea shells on the sea shore

Here's two easy ones -

Red lorry, yellow lorry (keep repeating!)

In Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire hurricanes hardly ever happen.

I am normally not a big fan of YouTube, but this was just amazing! Make sure your volume is up before you play this.

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa . Amazingly, 97% of the machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft Iowa , yes farm equipment!

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see it was WELL worth the effort.

It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

Sorry, that website is blocked on my computer-Glo

*sniff.... sniff... sniff* yeah much better

Ok it isn't the biggest grin!

Just my husband!

Does the person below me drink coffee?

I drink coffee. Does the person below me drink tea?

Can you finish the statement? God is like..............

To me God is like Coke Cola because he is the real thing.

God is like band aides because He is always stuck on me

God is like a breath of fresh air that fills me and gives me strength

to move forward in the places He has called me to.

no deal

Northern Lass. I feel like you are calling for a testimony I have. When one of my daughters was 16 she decided her father and I were too strict and left our home. She moved in with a man that was several years older than her. I was beside myself to say the least.

After a great deal of seeking the Lord I felt he told me she was my daughter before she was yours. Let go and let God. I trusted Him because she truly was his before she was my husband's and mine.At this point I had no idea if I would ever see her walking faithfully with the Lord. All I could do was to trust Him. I knew if I never saw it He would be faithful and she would be wolking with Him.

Many trials happened. She would call and ask for help cooking. My answer was if you had stayed home I would have showed you. She would come for a meal but I would not allow him into my home. (the reason was he knew full well that I disapproved of her living in his home)

This daughter through all that happened continued going to school and graduated. She worked very hard without the joy of family to share and help her through. After graduation she came home with a heart of repentance and humbleness.

She asked to return, of course we joyously said yes.

She started back to church with us and her boyfriend came around dating. A year after that they married. That was all about 20 years ago, he is a fine husband and father of three teenage girls now.

I wanted to share this with you to show you how faithful the Lord is.

He will do what he has said he will do.

I'm having trouble remembering simple words like------

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days, and when did they let kids become policemen?

I'm wondering, if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?

Yes, I'm a Senior Citizen and I think I am having the time of my life!java script:emoticon('', 'smid_18')

Don't regret not doing a lot of travel. My husband and I were able to travel a lot out of the country only to fine out we needed to see our own home. It is important to become grounded where we live and work. It is neat to find all the small places we had overlooked before. We should not have question a principal "bloom where you are planted"bloom where you are planted java script:emoticon('', 'smid_20')
