Can we get back to the original thought in this thread, please?

These are cute! Where did you find these?

Being an idealist myself, I think you have to listen to what your "inner core" is telling you. Someone tells you no...Well that just makes you want to do it even more.. After having thought it through, and you still want to act upon it, why not? We're all different, and that's what adds spice to life. The truth is no one is going to see it exactly as you see it...

The reasoning, the motivation, what we wish to obtain will usually bear fruit with our desires if we just stick to what we know we should act on...

Wanderer,

I know what you mean.... You know those outlandish things seem to stand out....The things that make sense in our lives seem to work for us time over time... It's OK. We were fed alot of stuff... We just have to filter out what we don't want...

Laura, sorry, don't know Spanish... (((((Laura))))) I hope you find your answers you're seeking.

Didn't Jesus Christ touch and heal lepers? His compassion was there for everyone to see. Why didn't this example "shine" on our "leaders"?

Talked to a friend of mine who just had surgery...Hmmm. I think it would have really blessed her if I would have accused, and asked her where her believing was.... No, I just told her I'd been concerned about her, and just wanted to hear how she was doing...She was happy to hear from me, and was encouraged...

You know, I would much rather be on this side of the fence!

(((((Hope))))) Haven't lost my mother, yet. But I lost two siblings. That was hard.

I will be praying for you...

praying with you, Mo!

Paw, I'm sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

Mo, I'm still praying! I "see" you happy, in great health, and back home!

Happy Birthday, Dot! And may you enjoy many more!

Hi Free!

It is so hard when we find out people we know have been lying to us. I'm just glad you weren't involved to a greater degree.

You're definitely worthy of much better!

Lori

Praying, too

Just going by memory, the context with Eli's sons was stealing the tithes.

Rottie, you have brought up an interesting subject. This is just my take. If someone does something, but they say they're sorry, and they keep doing it, they're not really sorry.

I do think repentance and forgiveness go hand in hand.

I like the way they talk!

really, Tom Strange!

And judging from the looks of those beans, it's not decaffeinated!

I remember reading "their sin was great" talking about Eli's sons...............and somehow I'm thinking there has got to be degrees of sin.

And this is where I think twi could have taught us better...

Happy Birthday!

I'm sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family.

It's so pretty outside! There's icicle buds on the trees. With all the snow and the ice buds, it looks like a winter wonderland...Wish I could upload a picture of it for you all.

And when the sun shines on it, it's glamorous!
