Oh my goodness, Shiloh! You are so much younger than I thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it during the Charismatic renewal? That was happening when I got saved. I did get a really good grounding in the Word as I had a wonderful Pastor and his beautiful wife. I was in Sydney at the time. I remember a beautiful sunny Autumn day (Easter Sunday) at Balmoral Beach, being baptised in water. When I came out of the water and headed for the beach, the whole church was standing on the shore singing "I love you Lord". Beautiful memories. I would love to see those people again.

Everything from the fashion (bad I know ) to the music in the movie made me really miss that decade . I got kinda melancholy! Should we as Christians long for times past? Looking far back is far less depressing than looking short forward. We just adopted a kitten that may well out live us both. It goes by so fast. And no I don't believe God is lamenting our lack of anticipating heaven from time to time. God is love. God is practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard of people marrying their phones. So dating their phones is part of the modern dating scene, LOL. Back the in late 90s, the cell phone was used as a way of getting out of a bad date. A girl would have a friend call her and if the date wasn't going well, she would pretend that the call was an emergency and she had to leave.
