Matthew 11:30 - For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.".....
John 8:12 - When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.".......
First before I start I would like to say that I got Banjoblues permission to quote her in this post, and that I believe her to be a wonderful woman of God. OK with that said here is her challenge:
Banjoblues comment on one of my post:
"I think a lot of us would like to hear from you personally , rather than lots of blog words which some are quite cute, some out right funny, especially the Lighten up ones. But its very hard for members to make friends with a one word man. Tell the BC more about you, your Jesus, your life, your trials, your loved ones and what you need, or require, and throw in a Blog word at least once a week. You make a lot of friends when you share stories, poems and such. Be Blessed, and please believe this isn't meant to be judgmental, I am sure you have lots to offer to the potential thousand of friends you can have as well as your intelligence with the language. In Christ: "
I did not take her comment as judgmental, but I wasn't sure if what she said was true, so I replied to Banjoblues comment with this email:
"I did think about what what you said, but I wonder if what you say is true? If I'm here to meet a possible mate, would be wearing my feelings on my sleeve be the right thing to do? I hope I'm saying this right, because I don't mean that I should be a fake or act different than who I am... but does a woman find a man appealing if he shows his inner self (weakness). Doesn't a women want a man to be confident, funny and secure? (that is what I see on a lot of their profiles) Isn't the nice guy always the friend never the lover? I would really like to hear your opinion on this.. got to go.. Maybe I'll do a post on my blog about it?.. That is if you don't mind me quoting you!God bless"
Banjoblues did reply back to me with a lot of wisdom that I believe was a word from the Lord for me. I will not put her reply in this post because this post is already getting to be a bit Mind-blogging...lol
1st question is: For the ladies, am I right in believing that you don't find it appealing for a a man to show his inner feelings (weakness)? Please check your hearts and look at your past relationships and reply honestly.
2nd question: For the men, what is your experience with the ladies? Do you find that ladies are attracted to your openness to really share your inner feelings (weakness)? or do you find that you have to hold a bit of yourself back in fear of losing a womens affection?
Please take a moment before you reply to this post, because I really want to know what is true, not the way you think it should be!.... Thanks...
A small town had four churches Presbyterian, Methodist, Catholic and Baptist.
All four had a serious problem with squirrels in the church. Each church in its own fashion had a meeting to deal with the problem.
The Presbyterians decided that it was predestined that squirrels be in the church and that they would just have to live with them.
The Methodists decided they should deal with the squirrels lovingly in the style of Charles Wesley. They humanely trapped them and released them in a park at the edge of town. Within 3 days, they were all back in the church.
The Catholics also humanely trapped them and attempted to teach them the "rhythm" method which of course did not work.
The Baptists had the best solution. They voted the squirrels in as members. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
I was being a Blog-oholic last night reading and blogging away when I ran across a blog that to me really didn’t fit hear on a this Christain web site. I thought to my self, there are a lot of secular dating web-sites out there what business does this person have to come on this web site if they really aren't a believer!..
(I know where’s the grace Rod, well it’s coming)
The truth is that this BigChurch web site is not really Christian!…What makes this site Christian are the godly men and women that use it… So I would say that I can’t think of a better web site for an unbeliever!.. I believe that there are a lot good godly men and women here on BigChurch to guide these lost soul's to our Shepherd Jesus.(we must show grace thou)
Yes they may not think, speak, or act the way we do, but let us love them like the Father loves them. Let us use Christ’s example on how to do this:
Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus replied: "`Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind’. This is the first and greatest commandment.. And the second is like it: `Love your neighbor as yourself.'
Why would you erase someone's post?.. If we are looking to get someone's comment(opinion) why would it matter what they post!..negative or positive!.. I will admit I have erased post, but they were personal message's from standard members that couldn't email me... I could see if someone was being vulgar you might want to erase what they wrote, but why not let let everyone see this person for what they are!... Then maybe they would stop!........
I know that some people are very serious in these blogs, and some do a lot of preaching!!... Well I'm OK with a little seriousness sometimes, but the preaching I get that at church!..AMEN
Lighten Up a bit
If I'm out of line here let me know I can take the heat!..
