Hey, are you the 9th Corps member formerly known as ManyFeathers?

Hi Bill? Does your last name start with an H? I remember you, I do think we used to talk some. It's nice to hear from some old friends here. You did find my blog, because that's my blurb from it, but the link is to a friend's blog. Here's the link to mine:http://www.allmyways.blogspot.com

Just wanted to say that I know of some great marriages that have lasted from Way days. Sorry to hear about all the broken ones. Since I'm new here I thoght it was a nice prompt for believer marriages that have lasted and one I could respond to positively.

Hi Rocky,Thanks for the compliment on the blog. Not sure who you are but glad to hear from you anyway. The coffee here seems really fine. A lot better than the stuff they used to serve in Weirwille. Wow, hadn't though of that in years but me and my friend Sheila used to have these huge plastic cups that we'd fill up with that awful coffee, until we found a room where we could plug our own coffee pot in and keep it going non-stop. I remember we had a great place in the basement of Anderson library that we used to hang out in after meetings or during "self structured veritcal" time. Good to catch up with some fellow 9th Corps!

Took PFAL in March 1974 at age 16 Went WOW in 1975 Way Corps in 1978 Left TWI in 1987 Let's see that's 13 years. Seems longer.

Hello fellow 9th Corps and friends, I guess I've been out of the loop for quite a while now, but I just joined the Grease Spot Cafe and wanted to drop by here and say hello. Not sure if if's pc to use names but I don't have any reason not to. I have some great memories of Corps days and experiences. Chuck and I were married in the 9th Corps weddings and are still happily married with 2 great kids, ages 15 and 8. It's kind of interesting explaining to them who all those other people in our wedding pictures are but they don't really know anything about TWI except that we met at a Christian College in Kansas. We left TWI in 1987. I enjoyed reading all the name puns in the 9th Corps topic posts. A few months ago Chuck and I spent some time trying to list all the 9th Corps we could remember. We thought we came up with most of the names but going through the name puns brought back so many names we had missed. I'd write more but it's Saturday night and I have to get out and run the stairs in (oh gosh what was the name of that building with the auditorium where I spent many Saturday nights)? to get my aerobic points in before midnight.

Hi, I Just joined the GreaseSpot Cafe last night so I'm new to the forum. My husband and I have been happily married for 25 years. We met in The Way Corps (9th) and were married in the Corps weddings in 1981. We didn't know each other very well when we got married but I was sure that God had spoken to me and that he was the right man for me. Well God was right. I believe that we were meant to be together. We left TWI ,I believe, in 1987. God has been good to us and I'm thankful for a great marriage to a wonderful man. I really believe that the reason I was blessed to marry the right man is that I surrendered the decision to God in prayer. I remember a time when I was crying on my bed in the dorms at Emporia, crying out to the Lord and telling him that I would never be married if He didn't do it for me. That was during the 1st year in the Corps. Then, shortly before Christmas break of my 3rd year at Emporia I believe that I heard from the Lord. It was out of the blue but I heard distinctly in my spirit that I was going to be proposed to over the Christmas break and that I should accept the proposal. I knew it was from the Lord because I didn't even have a boyfriend at the time and I had no idea who would propose to me. But sure enough, when I was at my Dad's house for the break, I got a call from California from a guy that I had only seen once (for only a few minutes) in a year and a half and we had only been on one "date" a year and a half ago. I was able to accept the proposal because I had been forewarned by the Holy Spirit that it was coming. So we were married and 25 years later we have two great kids and are truly blessed.
