i am crying HAPPY tears. thanks for all the support and i chose tree as my user name for that exact reason, to be strong and planted by the waters of JESUS! elgama i know your daughter will be wise and strong with parents like you!!! i will keep every one on this site in my prayers . i might not remember all the names but heavenly father does. lots of love , tree

thanks guys! i did finally get to sleep. it felt great!! i should be on a tony the tiger commercial? ! gotta go , i am getting my7yr old off to school and then i am going to work with my husband. i thought i would help him out a few days a week since i used to be a cna before i got so bad off,but thanks to god above i am slowly climbing back up the ladder!! oh! he takes care of the elderly, good, good man. i am truly blessed.

hello i am sorry for being ugly to you and ask forgiveness ?? all tho the lord is healing me, and the president in relief society has gotten permission to pray for me a calling in it. i am excited about it !! i know heavenly father will see me through it to where i can do a job well done.well i am going to try and go to sleep, i have a family to take care of. wish me luck!!! ha! ha!

awesomely funny!!!!!!! i needed that after the post i just read on "cure for depression" i went there thinking of the hope of a real cure or at least an idea for one but found something else instead. i guess i need to apologise for my actions toward that person !!!! but some times i feel a person needs a dose of their own medicine. i am not up at 3:30 in the morning for my health and yes i am truly hurt!! the jokes helped alot tho keep them coming.

1st Corinthians 13:4-8 ??i hope you never , ever experience true depression. it is not caused by self pity or laziness. it has to do with a serotonin imbalance in the brain. i have suffered all my life, but i am now being healed as we speak. i am slowly getting off my meds and am beginning to think and function normally. true depression is like living in hell on earth. it is crippling and debilitating and usually accompanies other debilitating disorders such as anxiety,panic attacks and a fear that stays with you that no matter what you do it wont go away. i suffered from these and a few more that i wont bore you with. but next time you make a statement on some thing get all the facts and unless you truly experience some thing , dont throw stones at any body. people who want attention or are lazy and make excuses are just that,but true depression sufferers want to be functional and productive people and with doctors help and some medicine and a whole lot of prayer,mabey some day they will. as far as the sleep disorders that come with it ,, its not just a weekly thing . its a continual on going condition. try going without sleep for 2 or 3 months at a time,you are so exhausted but you just cant fall asleep and when you are lucky enough to do so it is restless so you are still just as tired when you do get up. see what and how your body feels after that !!!!!!! you need to get the facts and apologise to the people on this site who seen your totally unfair ,judgemental post. as far as the scripture you posted , mabey you ought to pray and study it a lot harder!!!!!!! oh by the way! i dont have time to deal with people and their self-righteousness,,, thats heavenly fathers job !! as far as kicking people when their down where did you get your DEGREE?????

congratulations, i am so excited for you! by the way i am new also . what are endowments ? i should receive my patriarchal blessing in three months. and i don't know how long until i can go to the temple. the president to relief society has permission to pray for me a calling in the relief society. i am so excited but a little nervous as to i want to do a job well done. ( i am bipolar and have a minor learning disability. i don't comprehend math to well and i totally don't comprehend politics or financial matters like taxes and mortgage's and any fine print stuff.) i am 38 and just now learning to work a computer! but what ever god calls me on , i know he will give me the ability to do it ! any way you will enjoy doing heavenly fathers work . it truly is a blessing to be used by god. welcome to the flock!!!!!!!

P.S. my husband has your same since of humor. some love it , few just don't get it! when he is not aggravating me with it ,,,its funny!!!!!

i am very new to the church, but i think any one who truly repents and wants to officiate should have the right to it. just because the lamanites were cursed by their color for disobedience , i don't think blacks just for their color should be penalized from serving god to the best of their ability and bringing in the sheep or feeding the sheep. just like with Adam we suffer physical and spiritual death because of their sin , black people suffer a darker skin for their fathers or ancestors rebelliousness but are responsible for their own personal sin in their life as far as salvation goes. so if they are righteous in their walk ,why not be any more or less worthy than a white, Mexican or Oriental to serve heavenly father and his children? they are his children too!!!! and if you have one rebellious child and one obedient child why punish both for what the rebellious child did ? for that matter there will always be prejudice in this world against every kind of people,race,religion and gender ET. but there is a few that have really had a bad rap. (Jews, Blacks and Indians) the Jews did what they did to CHRIST but i dont see them when they finaly except JESUS saying they cant be apart of the preisthood or any one else for that matter. we all sin and fall short of the glory of god. we all were changed at the tower of bable in that day any way . so who knows ? only God knows what end is up anyway.God loves us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tree

i know my oldest sister is a lesbian ( sweet as can be tho) my other sister is going around drunk half the time and my brother looks down on the whole family like we are some kind of plague, so here i am lds love heavenly father with all my heart and want to love and help every body but i am disowned because of my beliefs and the UN-worldly way i choose to live my life, its totaly messed up! all i can say is come quickly LORD JESUS!! take me home to a peaceful eternity!!

hey! hey! hey! we've lots to say, welcome to the site ! every body here is sunny and bright. chit -chatting here is such a delight! :sunny:

hello and welcome . i start my geneology next year, i am new to the LDS church and will wait til next year when a brother and sister comes back to texas for the winter to help me . i am excited about it. i dont know any one from my dads side of the family so this shall be real interesting. any way i know you will love this site , we all do! tree

hello and welcome, my family doesnt really have any thing to do with me, especialy since i joined the church. but my branch is so loving and so close to each other that i for once in my life feel like i have a real family, (bonds unbreakable,) you would never be alone and you would never regret joining. the LDS church is the real church and i leave this with you in the name of JESUS CHRIST. keep in touch, tree

congratulation's to you both, and may all gods blessings be upon your marriage and his joy be in your hearts continually,tree

hello to skalenfehl and homeagain, and welcome!!! i to just came back to church,5wks, ago. i am totally repentant, and in three months i am on my way to have my patriarchal blessing ! YAHOO!!!!!!! i will never leave the church again, most miserable 5yrs of my life, i now understand what it means to be truly repentant and what true forgiveness means! gods love to all! tree

hi again, the one less rib thing i heard from a pentecostal preacher years ago. ( at least i think thats where i heard that ) any way you live you learn. by the way i should have put a question mark behind that as i was asking" is it true that a man has one less rib than a women "? and can you elaborate a little on how and what scientist use to make viruses out of ? i guess what i mean is god/jesus made everything and anything that exist today, so anything that man makes ( the ingredients used to make the product , whether it be a liquid , gas, or a solid, it had to come from the earth or the universe , which god created. so there for is my theory that man has never created anything with out it first coming from heavenly father. god = all created things, and all things that are now create-able start with gods own creations, man,plant,animal....air,liquid or solid. so therefore with out gods ingredients nothing can exist/ before god nothing existed. chit - chat some more later,,,,tree

isnt it true that men have one less rib than women, god took a rib from adam to make eve, Genesis 2:21-23. and if i am not mistaken, man can take the general make-up or dna and make a clone of something but cant make anything with out having a part of something that heavenly father and jesus christ already made. i for one think a monkey can evolve into mabey another monkey mabey due to its environmental needs over thousands of years or more, but not evolve ever into another species. the reason i think this is because a human and an animal cannot breed together nor can plants,animals or humans breed together. but that is just my opinion. by the way science is cool!! i hope i dont sound totaly ignorant, but thats just what i think on the matter. looking forward to your reply, i love science. tree

hello what does it mean "to have the heavens open to you ? tree

you are so blessed to be raised in the church. as for me , it took 34yrs. to find it! i am 38yrs old now . i was out of church for 5yrs due to pressure from my mom.( you dont get more anti-mormon than she is!!!!!! ) any way , the holy spirit never quit calling me back. so 4wks. ago i started back with my new husband and 7yr old daughter. this sunday i talk to the branch president about my patriarchal blessing, i dont know whats going to happen ? ive been married twice before coming back and i lived as if i didnt know any better. i have TRULY REPENTED and my truest desire is to some day see heavenly father face to face. i know in my heart i am forgiven but i dont know what the church will say ??( no more than i was baptized, when my mom caused me to practicly have a nervous break down , so i just quit going and became so confused and then affraid and then started living like the world. now i am back in church waiting to see what i must do to make things right again ? ) ive never been to the temple. i hope it isnt to late for me???? got any suggestions any one ? tree. by the way welcome to the site!

howdy! how did you get your call name? youll meet lots of friends here and have lots of talks,, well welcome!! chat more later,,, tree

rameumptom, thank you for the post, i shared it with my family. extremely helpful!!!! very grateful, tree

thank you all for your help ,explainations and that awesome poem,with godly love, tree

tubaloth, thank you so much for that post, i had wondered if i had committed the unpardonal sin when i got angry with god because i felt dumped off in this evil cold place, not knowing how and why i was placed here, i was racked with fear because of all the violence and disease, i knew there was a god that had the power to stop this and couldnt figure out why he didnt stop it? then i wondered where i would end up in eternity? this all took place when i was about 26 or 27 yrs old, then when i was 34yrs old i found the LDS. church, i repented all my sins and was baptized. i knew basicly that i was forgiven, but i couldnt shake the fact that i got mad at heavenly father and the guilt was tormenting me. but i have been praying for forgiveness and for peace at least twelve yrs. and now i am finally free. thanks again, tree

howdy right back at cha!! i always wanted to strum a harp. i bet its just heavenly!! tree

i would like to check out this book, so the name is " The Peacegiver " and it is written by "James L. Ferrell " ??? thanks for sharing the info. tree

thank you vikier for asking that question, i about 12 yrs ago got angry with god because all of the evil that was in the world, so i cursed him for letting it happen and not stopping it. of course i didnt mean it and i repented over and over and over and ive been asking god to show me a sign that i am forgiven because i have been over ridden with guilt about it for 12 yrs now. here is my sign, through your question, i have my answer. god bless you vikier!!!!!!! JESUS LOVES YOU!!!!!!! tree
