Ummmmmmmmm....John-you-be... Comparing VPW to Jesus is just plain wrong not to mention offensive. Sorry to interrupt...carry on the tyrade boys...

The title of this thread is ''Who is Jesus?''...Imbus is asking this question to us for our opinion and beliefs individually. Jesus Christ is to me my savior, my Lord, my friend, my brother, my comforter, and the one true Son of God. That being said, His name, as it has throughout history, has once again begun a very heated, if not (dare I say...DARE! DARE! thank you, Cleavon Little ;)-->) hateful discussion between a few of us here. In my humble opinion, most folks distaste for Jesus or anything ''religious'' (gawd I HATE that word!) is a direct result of those very things being force fed to them through a cult, as in our case, a church, an over zealous clergy person etc. There was a news story a few days ago about how the Baptists are deciding to remove the word Baptist from their churches. It seems the word ''Baptist'' is scaring folks off; it carries ''too much baggage'' according to one preacher. Imagine that!!! Could it be that most churches are more about political, social and financial status than about Jesus??? Nah!!! Couldn't be! --> I haven't found a church yet that isn't! I love my Lord, I love God, I choose to worship them in my own way, in my own time. I tell folks I am a Christian, but even that word has become like kryptonite to Superman to most folks. I choose not to belong to a church because what I've found in them is religion not spirituality I love Jesus, He knows it...He loves me, I know it. 'Nuff said.

If you've ever been chastized for: A piece of jewelry you were wearing... A piece of artwork hanging in your home... Listening to ''secular'' music... having ANYTHING closely resembling a triangle in your home/posession... For speaking any kindnesses to those who were considered ''of seed''... OR Made to feel like dog crap if you put your ''earthly'' family before your ''spiritual'' family for any reason... If you referred to anything as ''devilish''... If you still can't shake the whole ''tithe'' thing...ie: ''God won't bless my life until I start giving back to Him again...'' (that's a oughie for me...:(--> ) If people who had been your family (literally) for almost 20 years barely speak to you anymore... And you know you're NOT in a cult anymore if you can talk to Him everyday and know He hears you and He talks back too... :D-->

Pirate pal... In this, the days of reality tv...a show which used to be relatively funny is now lowering it's standards for it's share of the ratings taco...sad...not a big fan of TV anymore...rather read a good book...or spend my spare time shooting what God has created...(with a camera of course! :D--> )

:D--> :D--> :D--> :D--> VICKLES!!!!! :D--> :D--> :D--> :D--> Happiest of b-days darlin'!!! You deserve it! :)-->

'Specially not you!

RasCath is a...a...a......... DOMINATRIX???????? :P--> :P--> :P--> :P--> I never knew!!! ;)-->

Jes bringin' this to the top in hopes that BOD lady RasCath ;)--> is lurkin'...maybe we can meet there one weekend Cath and get things sorta organized?? Again...McGhee Tyson Airport is only 20 minutes from me for those of you flyin' in. Jes lemme know if I can help.

Happiest of birthdays dear Issac...I love you to pieces Piggy Poo! Here's a key lime wedgie from me!!! ***squish...squish*** :P--> ;)-->

Sorry Zix...I wasn't meaning to sound irritated with you, (if that's how I came across...:(--> ) just saying that it wouldn't be all that difficult to find each other there. I'm all for staying close by and having a central hang out spot.

Zix... it's true that the cabins and inn are closer together, but the park is pretty inclusive so it wouldn't be much to travel from the inn to the tent area or vice versa. My family prefers to camp, so that's where we'll be. Maybe we need someone to head up the details and planning so we don't have confusion. A planning commitee anyone????

For Z and all y'all flyin' in...here's the link to McGhee Tyson... McGhee Tyson website If anyone needs a ride or someone to start a caravan from the airport, jes let me know...I live 20 minutes from it. Tess...if'n ya need a ride, I'm available. I'm at y'all's disposal , I think (??) I live the closest to the park. I'll be tenting it...will there be a ''tent city''??? ;)-->

I wear my heart on my sleeve and it gets stomped everytime. I have been a loyal and faithful friend to many and I don't know what it is, but I must have sucker or doormat written across my forehead because apparently they thought I was expendable. I guess I don't learn lssons very well when it comes to the heart.

(((((((((((HopeR))))))))))))) Here's a key lime wedgie to go along wif that peanut butter shampoo from Piggy Poo! ;)--> Love ya to bits!!! :D--> -C!
