Yes, out of reach…..but it is what we teach?How can we affirm what we do not understand?I guess it's just all a part of the plan.Moving forward it's hard to deny,what you've dined on come to rely on.Change can take place.Former beliefs leave a trace.What is truth?You have to be a sleuth!And I'm tired of detective work.

Father,Irene and I come to you and ask for comfort and peace.  Please let it wash over my sister as your precious holy Spirit holds her in the shadow of your wing…….it's where we all want to be, LORD.  Be with us.  Guide us.  Love us despite ourselves.  Be our help in times of distress.  Give Irene rest and hope.  Bless her, dear Father…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 25 2008,06:53)Hi Mandy, t8 does not mean it that way. He is by nature a very kind, gentle and considerate man. He was agreeing with you that withdrawing from the difficult threads may help you heal.Yes, you are probably right Nick. Thanks.I'm sorry t8. I shouldn't have assumed and then toungue lashed you like I did. I…[Read more]

Our friend, Andy, will end his radiation treatments this Friday. Yes, he was really tired and blue. It is hard to see someone like that that is typically strong and self sufficient. Get your rest, Irene, so that you are up for dealing with whatever may come your way as well. Sometimes emotional energy that is spent can make us more tired than…[Read more]

I've looked at it. Too many times. I've heard you and a zillion other's give their expert opinions…….all different opinons!! This is why I don't bother looking at it.I'm frustrating you and becoming too tired to continue on politely. 😉 So I better head to bed.Mandy

That's exactly the problem, Irene. I'm losing faith in “what is written”. Not losing faith in God, but in the written Word (not to be confused with the living Word).That's why I say it's useless and challenging to debate it any further.

Georg, you're in my prayers!! Be strong and courageous – God is with you and he will never leave you.Dear Father,Send your angels to be with Georg and give him comfort. Watch over him and bring him healing. Soothe his mind of any worries and bring comfort to his dear wife as well. Your eye is on the Sparrow and so we know you also watch over…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Sep. 24 2008,18:25)You kept asking what I meant, as though there was some hidden meaning behind it. I feel I could not have been more clear.I didn't have a clue what you were talking about so it couldn't have been that clear, bro. At any rate, I appreciate your concern but I'm OK for now. I've written out scriptures till I'm…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Sep. 24 2008,15:06)Jesus said “Before Abraham, I am” when asked if he was older than Abraham.That is why I said is it challenging because these are not my words but Jesus own words.You are free to disagree of course, but who are you really disagreeing with?Jesus' words?Really?Are you sure? Can you be sure? Were you there when the…[Read more]

I'm praying to God that CO and Gene are right!!! ;)That's certainly less pressure on me.It's a much easier Christian life to live!Less responsibility, it seems?Mandy

Hi Nick,For some reason your comment made me think of the movie Braveheart. Have you ever seen it? One of my favorite movies! Anyway, they were fighting a war and an arrow went through a shield!! I guess it can happen.I haven't heard from God in a long time, Nick. I'm listening but not hearing anything. Maybe God doesn't do well with the…[Read more]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZvuTQrNhHAThe above link is Crystal Lewis singing The Sparrow. I DO NOT LIKE THE VIDEO though! So, close your eyes and listen to her voice only. She's good; so very talented in my opinion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8NhZN9UJU4I don't know how to post things like this, Irene. But here above is a link that you could cut and paste to your address bar for the Internet and hear the Song: His eye is on the Sparrow by Sandi Patti. My favorite rendition is from Crystal Lewis (also on youtube).Have a wonderful day,Mandy
