Dearest Todd...

Thanks for the food for thought! ;)-->

I pose a question: If speaking in tongues is ''perfect prayer'' than what would it be if we spoke in tongues and then interpreted it back to ourselves? A ''perfect answer?''

I've tried it, and it seems it was the Holy Spirit speaking comfort back to me.

Any thoughts, friend?

Love y'all,

, although it may not be all that bad of an idea, but I digress; I just think that after years of ''waybrain'' folks here are realizing that there are other MOG's that may have something to say concerning the Father.

Love to you both.

Perhaps darlin'...I remember an interview with her talking about the song and a deaf child maybe?

Dunno, I just know that I love her stuff. You can go on the VH1 website and suggest bands to be reunited. I know they probably get deluged with requests, but it's probably a popularity vote. Whoever gets the most votes wins or somethin'.

Exactly Ras...

It seems (in my life at least) we are so wrapped up in fixing ourselves and trying to ''buy'' God by works or whatever that we forget to just talk to Him. It's the times where I've poured my heart out to him in sadness, rage, happiness etc. that I ''hear'' Him.

It's like He tells me...ok, now that you've stopped trying to do it yourself, I'll take it from here. Love ya!

The Holy Spirit is my Comforter and my refuge and He always knows what's best.

Wowzers Huggy (;)-->)

I didn't know that about the Jukes. Too cool. My uncle had a buddy who used to play with Springsteen before he left Freehold.

Simpatico, I would love to see the Pretenders again too, Christie Hynde is a genius. I love the song she did back in the day about her child...the name escapes me now, but it was a very sweet song.

I would love to hear Peter Gabriel sing ''Solsbury Hill'' again, just once. How 'bout the original Yes members? The Cars? The Fixx? Atlantic Starr?

Welcome the the 'ol greasy spoon, Teknon...

I can relate to your story quite a bit. I'll explain; I was raised Roman Catholic and never really felt connected to God, just kinda went through the motions. Met a guy whose family was involved with the Way, shed some light on a lot of the ''vain repetitions'' and ''man made traditions'' of the Catholic Church and began to feel a real connection to God and this family. Took the class and spoke in tongues for the first time in 1988.

My experience with TWI was not a bad one, not really. Now that is not to say that the experiences of other posters here should be discounted, they are truthful and sincere. I was very lucky because my TC's were my family and the branch that I belonged to were a great bunch of loving people.

I decided to leave TWI in '94 because I was divorcing my husband and I felt that he needed to fellowship with his family. I still love that family btw, and they are still in. Sadly, the tight knit relationship I had with them isn't there. I still see them from time to time, but it's just not the same. I left at a time when Martindale was on his ''no debt, homos are the debil'' tyrades and I'm glad to say I did.

I still have not found a ''church'' to feel at home, but I talk to the Father everyday and I know I am His, and He is mine. You don't need TWI to have a relationship with God, He knows your heart and He loves you.

My email addy is JNCKraft@aol.com, glad to help if you need it.

Pam is a young friend of mine who has been married to Brian since June...they are so very young (22) and just barely into their marriage.

Brian has just been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Pam is beside herself with worry and fear. Please pray for peace in their lives and healing. It breaks my heart to see them hurting.
