I am reading that book right now!! I love Porter Rockwell...come to think of it...Peter is my favorite apostle, too!! They remind me of my brother!! He is obnoxious, but he has a heart of gold!!! There is no "guessing" which side of the fence he is on...but look out if you speak them "fightin' words"!!!

Welcome fellow Baptist convert!! My father was a baptist preacher!! I am a convert of three years, and I have not looked back either!! I DO miss my coffe, though!!! ...and the music....

Wow! I am beginning to think that I am the only non-Madd import over here!! I came over here from the ldstalk site. I still post over there once in a while, but I got sick of the abuse of power over there by one particular so-called "Mod" and the double standards that I saw regarding him and others... I like it here much better!! Welcome aboard!!!

I guess the reason that I have not taken the time to really study it out is because it is not really all that important to me!! It is not needful information to my salvation and it doesn't change the gospel of G-d..so, I am curious and interested, but not majorly invested in finding out the true geography...although...as I said. I am interested in "other people's findings" as YOU said! Guess I am just lazy, or just have other priorities with my scripture learning!!

Thanks for the reminder!! I need to lighten up on myself and stop worrying about if there is some spiritual message to be learned from FHE. I think if I give myself a break, I will be more faithful in holding the FHE's. Thanks again!!! I have really struggled with this!!!

Yeah, now that I have had time to think about it...I need to retract something that I said earlier...I DO have a family that I fellowship with. The husband and wife are always there for me if I need a ride to the store or Dr. appointment.( I do not have a car) So, I have no right to say that I don't fellowship with folks from my ward, as I do...I just don't really "hang out" with any of them...our lifestyles are still so different. I am still relatively new to this church, (three years) and I am a single mother of an autistic son. I have no car, or "job". I too, am disabled. My disability is not obvious (Fibromiagia) So, I sometimes think that people do not take it seriously. I am continually "encouraged" to find work that I can do...I feel judged because I am not self-sufficient, I think that is a factor in why I am no longer as "popular" as I was when I first joined this church. I'm just one of the many ward members, now. People are still nice...but I live a separate life from everybody else, and I crave fellowship...I believe that is why I am attracted to this board.

DId you start that thread, yet? And did I miss it?

This actually has helped ME as well!! I need to just make our FHE about our family and get my spiritual stuff else where!! I was trying to impart spiritual stuff to my kids, but my son is just not ready to receive such things, yet...my daughter, on the other hand...is. But I think I will switch my focus to my son's need for family bonding. Thanks for the tip! Even though my kids are in their teens...my son is autistic and does not have the spiritual growth, yet.

I chose the artsy birdy because I am an artist and because I chose my name,"Yediyd" from a character in a historical fiction novel about New Testament Jerusalem times. The charachter was a little sparrow named, (of course) Yediyd. The novels that I am speaking of are actually a series of novels called: The AD Chronicles written by Body and Brock Theone...I HIGHLY recommend them!! After reading them, I got the fire in me to learn Hebrew!!!

Pa Pa, I love your Avatar...are you related to Dumbledore?

Trust me, my friend...I and none of the rest of us are "goody goodies"!! All our righteousness are as filthy rags before the Lord!! None of us measure up!! You will fit right in!! And as you grow and learn, you will make the changes that need to be made, but it will not happen overnight and you will not be perfect in this life...just believe in Christ and what he did for you and watch your heart and life change!! We are All a bunch of "goof-ups". Paul said that he was the chiefest among sinners!!! Like I said, PS...You are in good company!! Welcome aboard!!!

Thanks!! I wanted to use the name: Yediydyah, that means: Beloved of G-d...but someone on the ldstalk site already has that one!!! Besides, I am up here to be friendly and to make friends!!!:)

Baptist minister was up at his pulpit preaching one Sunday...he states,"I defy anyone here to come up with a topic that is not covered by this Holy Bible!" A little woman in the back stands up and says, "What about PMS?" The Baptist minister doesn't bat an eye, " Luke chapter 2 ...and Mary rode Joseph's ass all the way to Bethlehem!!"

I am in agreement with you here, I believe that Satan will be "bound" during those 1000 years, but the binding will be because of the righteousness of the saints, he will be unable to do any of his evil. The "chains" that bind him will be our righteous hearts.

You sound like a lot of fun!! Looking forward to getting to know ya!!! Welcome aboard!!!

I just have not been motivated to get the divorce...I feel like he was the one who broke the marriage vows, HE should pay for the divorce!! He likes things the way they are because he can blame me for why he cannot marry the girlfriend. She has had a child with him and wants to marry him, but he uses me as an excuse why he cannot. I figure, if I meet someone worth my heart again...I will then take the time to get my divorce, but for now...I don't even feel very attractive and I am so overwhelmed with raising my "special" son, that I have not even seriously thought about a new relationship...I just joke about it a lot!!

Don't know about you ladies, but I am HAPPY about menopause!! I hate my monthly, "ENEMY"! ...and I have my hands full with the two beautiful children that the Lord saw fit to bless me with.

My son has been given the Aaronic priesthood and he does pass out the sacriment...yet he refuses to take the sacriment!! The Bishop just had to tell him to take a break from passing out the sacriment till he can start taking it himself. My son is still very irrisponcible...I keep hopeing he willget to a point where he can take on some responcibility. I make him take out our trash and the neighbor's trash (elderly lady). That is about all I can get him to do...I'm still working on getting him to clean his room!!! Course, that goes for my "normal" daughter as well!!!!

There is not a singles group for over 30 yet, but there is a lady who is trying to get one started. Then there is the problem that I am still married to my cheating husband!! I am only seperated from him...no divorce...yet.

Thank you for that! I guess we all have to find our own testimonies...even if you are born into this church. Mine gets stronger as I continue to read, study and pray. Knock on wood...I am very active in my ward and plan to stay that way!!!

Flattery will get you EVERYWHERE!!!

...and a good question it is!! Sorry I can't help you with it!!

kool! Missed that! I was just kidding anyway!!! ....so...Selek, how do YOU feel about knee bangs? (again, just kidding!)

This is exactly what my son tries to do...I do not let him wander the halls, but he will if he can get away with it...sometimes I am busy in the Primary and he gets away from his teachers...he raids the fridge in the kitchen though and has flooded the men's room...so he cannot be allowed to roam the halls at will...This is disheartening to hear that your 26 year old grandchild is Still doing this!! I was hoping my son would settle down...but I have to admit it is probably wishful thinking...

Spot on!!! B)
