Zoom on in and meet and greet - Tag game Let's take a minute and tell each other about our passions in life. Then I am only going to tag some people. Share about yourself, where you came from your roots, where you are today and where you would like to go in the future. There are no rules - You can tag as many people as you wish. You do not have to know the person to tag them. Everyone is also welcome to post even if you are not tagged, but then you must tag someone else. I hope everyone has fun here and that we can all get to know each other by more than a blog handle. ````````````````````````````````````````````````` To create a link type in brackets the following photo (then the persons username) Example [ photo Indescribeable ] Don't forget to delete the spaces. Then go to the bottom of the page and find the post number of this post. Copy and paste this number and place it on someone else's blog - That will notify them that they have been tagged. Let's have some fun! ````````````````````````````````````````````````` MY WORK: I retired from the Mortgage Industry 3 years ago after 26 years of dedication and I am enjoying the flexibility that divorcing myself from this line of work has provided and am delighted in seeing what each day brings both good and bad. I am learning about living simply now due to the lower income stream and finding that no matter what you make you can still have peace with yourself, your family and your surroundings. Presently I have gone back to work and work two part-time jobs so they keep me quite busy. MY LOCATION: I have lived in Florida the majority of my life. I lived in Hawaii for one year with my . I have traveled to a few other places but there is no place on earth that I have found better than the island of Hawaii. I love the culture, the people, nature, mountains, waterfalls, streams, rainbows, stars in the sky that shine so bright where no city life can be heard. Warm climates are my preference. 80 degrees constant with a warm breeze, birds chirping in the background is just fine with me watching the eagles fly by and the squirrels picking up nuts on the ground. MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD: My family heritage was Episcopalian, I was raised in the Grace Lutheran Church and Lutheran school and attended a Christian college. I have been a Christian since I was a wee and I am blessed. Within the last two years I have served as a Sunday school aid in the 3 year old Sunday school class. Other things I have enjoyed is praise and worship music, home fellowships and my old Kayak ministry. EDUCATION AND WORK: I attended George Washington University in Washington DC and Florida Southern College getting my degrees in Economics and Finance. While there I also worked a full time job on Capitol Hill for a computer database company and lived in Alexandria in a town called Crystal City. PASSIONS IN LIFE: What really makes me happiest is being in the garden and creating natural surroundings that are appealing to our senses of sight and sound and touch, writing, computer stuff, programming computers, counseling people in need, listening to Christian music and singing, playing the piano, a little art, bling, color boxes on the blog, marveling at animals behaviors, stained glass, being with good friends just doing nothing, nature photography, travel and adventure, cultivating orchids, kayaking and quiet walks with the Lord. I have a who will be a senior in high school next year who lives with me. MY SURROUNDINGS and INNER THOUGHTS: I like my surroundings to be calm, people that are around me know that I prefer to have gentle, silent, loving and kind people around me. I also like being around people that will let me be me. I try to avoid confrontation and don't care for debating. My heart most wants to help others and share about Jesus in a more quiet way and to have a companion who shares the same desires, however, I am content to wait; open to His will and waiting patiently for all of the parts to be placed into the puzzle. BC is a vehicle for learning and sharing, a vehicle the Lord has provided to protect me; a place to make friends and perhaps teach something-actually anything to make a difference in someone else's life even as small as it may be. When you have been single for a long period of time not conforming to the world it is very easy to get addicted to a computer instead of real people in real life. We must all be mindful of this potential addiction and try to live a life of balance. I am looking forward to the day when I am not single but united with the one I will live the rest of my life with sharing everything that I have learned and learning what I have not.

Wow! I was tagged again! - And by someone I greatly admire - so, thank you, Meow! As for a little background, well, some of you already know these things, but for all others, here is my immediate information: My Work: I work for a small marketing and consulting firm that has been in business for over 30 years. We service the flooring industry, and being as how Dalton, GA, is the carpet capital of the world, I make frequent road trips! I enjoy what I do - but it is NOT my passion - and in fact, I would really hope to one day find a way to actually support myself financially through application of my passion - bit that is a little hard to do when one's passion is not so easily defined or structured for employment! (it's either that or marry a man who is established enough to allow me to pursue these things without undue financial hardship upon our family! - here's hoping he's out there somewhere!)  My Location: I live in a northern suburb of Atlanta - Kennesaw, GA - actually on the city line between Kennesaw and Marietta, GA - and it is a beautiful place! Georgia in general is one of the prettiest states I have ever lived, and I really enjoy being here. There is plenty to do and involve yourself with, and also plenty of wonderful people to meet and share your daily walk with! My relationship with GOD: well, I would have to answer as Meow did - in that it is not where I wish it to be, because I wish it to be 'perfect' - but I know that I am not perfect, and that this relationship is certainly not going to be perfect while I am still in this flesh! But I love my relationship with GOD! - For it is the MOST secure and absolute relationship that I will ever have! I love the people in my life as well - but oh! - how I love HIM! I wish to share something with you all that I may or may not have ever shared before - I just don't remember (?) anyway, it is this: Despite all that has ever happened in my life, and some of it has not been good - I have never had an angry moment with GOD! and I can only praise HIM for that! Because it is not of me - I know this! I suppose what I am saying is that I have never felt that I needed to be angry with Him for the things that He has allowed into my life - for some of it had to have been allowed through His perfect permissive will - even though they were not good things - for He allows 'bad' things to happen - and our job is to walk in obedience and continue to trust Him! I want to do this for my entire life - and I hope that 10 years from now I can still honestly say that I have never felt anger toward the LORD over my circumstances. - Mind you - not because it is sinful to be angry with GOD - for I do not find such a position in scripture - I am just thankful that MY personal struggles have not ever included that! It has been a great blessing to me - for I react so poorly when I am angry, and I know that unless He had spared me of this emotion toward Him, I would be in far worse shape than I am today - for surely I would have "blown it!" and heaped even greater consequences upon myself - all rightly deserved! now, My Passion(s)!: wow - well, Truth! Truth and knowing Truth - gaining knowledge and understanding, finding and receiving wisdom from GOD - and sharing all good things that He teaches me! I have a passion for Truth in all its forms - and I wish to expose the lies of the enemy! For we are told to have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, BUT RATHER EXPOSE THEM! I have a passion for defense of Truth! A passion for defense of righteousness! A passion for what IS right, and a passion to stand firm against that which IS WRONG! I have a passion to be useful - to be helpful - to be a leader and an example setter - even though I know that I will fail at times - My passion is to know HIM - to grow in HIM - to be like HIM! - for HE IS TRUTH!!! In all capacity, He is Truth! so - I seek to inform - to encourage in a direction of Truth - (which doesn't always come across as encouragement, and I am working on that - I am sometimes far too pragmatic, and not near compassionate enough in my delivery - but I simply do not have any patience for intentional and willful ignorance! - pray for me as I am pruned in these areas.) I love to write - I love to meet people - I love to share and understand from others - Finding reason and logic and connections throughout life absolutely fascinates me! being at peace with myself and this fallen world is a pursuit within my passions, for I believe it critical to a productive life as His child - but this is a hard pursuit for me - as I am not at peace with the world at large, nor am I always at peace with myself - for when I walk in the flesh, I usually don't like myself very much at all! Know that when I say "being at peace with the world" I do not mean that I am comfortable with the adherence to sin - or the endoresment of sin as lifestyle - but rather simply being at peace with the fact that THIS is the world that HE grew me up in - and that THIS is the world wherein my tasks must be carried out - I hope that makes sense! So - if anyone has any ideas about how to convert these passions into a productive and income-producing pursuit - PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! Oh, and one more thing! Pete, you ought to like this one! I am madly passionate about my feline friends! Love'em! I only have one now - but what a cat he is! I have always had cats - I blame my parents! (there is a picture of me as an infant with my father's Siamese cat draped across my body - so, you can see that it started when I was very young - and that I had nothing to do with it!! so - I will now find four people in a separate post to tag as well! Thank you all for reading, and really great adaptation of the Tag game, Indescribeable! Sincerely, Frances

Wow, Frances, this is a side of you that I have not seen yet. What a lovely person with character. Thanks so for sharing with us. (¯`•♥•´¯) ¤`•.♥.•´ ¤ (¯`•♥•´¯)

Hi there, your comment speaks volumes, Indescribeable - for on the one hand it is a wonderful compliment! and I appreciate it tremendously - but on another, it tells me that you are not reading who I am from my other posts - which in some light is ok - as it really isn't about me - but in another light it causes me some concern, for I do wish for people to see me for me - in all of my posts, for they are all examples of who I am - does that make sense? I am a very forthright person - and I mean everything that I have written above regarding my passions - I would have hoped that even through the very controversial position that I have presented one would be able to discern my motivation and the presence of character- but I am finding that most here are not at all able to do that - which naturally causes me to wonder why? is it because I am so assertive in my approach? I do know that I have taken a very strong stand in how I have presented and defended things - and I suppose that some could assume that assertive means the same thing as aggressive and harsh - although I have never understood it that way or could it be that most can't see me, my character or my true motivation because their hearts are already so wounded that to read something as 'heavy' as some of what I have presented simply causes them to become angry at me? You see, I am very grateful that you see "a lovely person with character" - for that is what we all want others to see - but I am very sad that it is "a side of[me] that [you] have not seen yet." Does that make sense? Well, in all my postings I have truly been motivated by the very passion that I described above - and I did think that in several of my blog posts during this past year it would have been evident to others that standing beside the firm conviction was indeed a lovely person with character - standing firm in favor of GOD's glory through death to self-will and flesh should not preclude being a lovely person with character - should it? but maybe to some here it does? you have given me a great deal to think about, indescribeable - and I am truly grateful for it - thank you - Sincerely, Frances

Frances, I am just glad to know you a little better. I have only been around BC for four months and we have not typically run in the same blogging circles so I can honestly say that I have not read many of your blogs and the ones that I did read left me the impression that you were a very bright person who articulated themselves well. I do take notice once I am introduced formally, like this. Thanks, Pete. I am grateful that this particular blog brought each of us together in fellowship. Who would have known that a silly tag game would have opened this door. I will definitely take some time to read your blogs. It seems we have not heard from a few of you guys. Where are you?

ok my dear, sorry not at the computer much lately other then to do my blogs and then get into bed for a few hours of sleep before the next day, hahahaha, lets see if i can follow your guidelines. My Work: I drive for the county here that i live in. i am a school bus driver. I don't have a regular route so i fill in for others when they are out. right now my normal schedule has been get up at 3:30 in the morning, get the kids dressed and fed for daycare, drop them off, get to work at 5, find out what i am doing and normally i don't get home until 6:30 or so in the evening, that gives me enough time to cook dinner, bath the children get them into bed at 8 and then try and catch up on some housework, laundry, internet, emails etc, for an hour or so before i pass out and start the next day, hahahaha My Location: right now i am on the west coast of florida in a city called cape coral. i have been in florida since 75. from 75-90 i was in palm beach county, from 90 to 99 i was in alachua country, from 99 to 05 i was in england with the military as a contractor and since the first of this year i have been in lee county back to florida. i am trying to have a house built and this is where i will die i hope, hahahaha. MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD: I was raised in an black church full gospel as our maid use to take my brother and sister and i to church. over the years i have been with many denominations just to see what they have to offer. i have been a childrens pastor for the last 15 years or so. i was saved at 13 years old and unfortunately have back slid more times then i care to remember. but i am refocus once again and have been for some time but i can always do better or more then what i am doing at the present time. MY PASSIONS IN LIFE: What really makes me happy, my children and grandchildren make me very happy. i have learn to live simply and enjoy the little things in life that i didn't do when i was younger. i use to be a workaholic and that was bad. i enjoy singing, i play the guitar a little, wish i could play the piano that would be a wish i would love to do. i love to travel but dont have much time for it right now. but mostly i love helping others. MY SURROUNDINGS and INNER THOUGHTS: i would love for life to be easy but so far in my life it never has been, hahahaha. so i deal with each situation one day at a time as that is all i can do. all i want is truth and honesty out of anyone, don't try to impress me, no need to do that. just be yourself. as i said earlier i just want to live simply and enjoy life. i am done with the material side of life, i have just what i need to get by and i am happy with that. i would love to hear the Lord just as clear as i hear others on the phone but i don't always get that so i keep praying for a better understanding. May the Lord bless you and keep you

Thanks for the tag, but I don't have a clue how to tag anyone else. Besides, aren't all the best ones chosen??????????? Seems redundant for me to repeat what all can read in my profile....so I'll be brief. My work) I'm a mural artist and travel all over the world painting *ta-dah* murals. Haven't touched a canvas for years. My sons are disappointed since most artists become really really famous after they die, and my sons said they can't sell someone else's walls to make a mil or two. Location!!!!??????????) Which week? My relationship to the Lord) I think He makes a pretty neat friend. My passions in life) Is this a G-rated site? Oh, OK, I guess I happen to like my kids and I LOVE my grandkids! My surroundings and inner thoughts) I'm surrounded by idiots!!!! (probable soulmates, eh?) Inner thoughts? Hmmm. I gave someone a piece of my mind once and ended up with nothing left up there.

Cynamun thank you for reposting your life tid-bits on this strain of blog. I find your life very interesting. You start off by telling us that you feel that all of the best one's are chosen. Wow, my purposes for starting this strain was for me to meet more wonderful people and so that by learning of them we would be able to meet ordinary people who have contributed extradinarily to His kingdom. Everyone is equal in the eyes of the Lord, however, He does acknowledge even those that feel that they may be less. You see, I was the last for everything, but I always felt that I had the most to contribute. This is a long story that I will not go into here. Yendor was so kind to have chosen you and introduce us to you and I am grateful. One doesn't alway get found in the land of blogs because there are too many blogs yet alone the profiles. Additionally, if you have your search set to men, you would have never popped up on the screen so there is a reason for this invitation and I truly appreciate your attending. I find the line of work that you do very interesting. I am an artist myself, even though I have never developed these innate talents in the form of the media. This must be a very interest line of work for you that is quite rewarding. I wonder how many places you have traveled on your assignments? I also find it curious that you like your kids and love your grandkids. Kyrose-as a standard member you can tag people by simple typing in the following  photo and then their memberID ] like to put your picture here it would be done like this [ photo Kyrose ] Shall we try.

Happy Birthday indescribeable!!! Hope you read this on May 3rd!!! And thanks for tagging me. Sorry...but I missed this post on 4/24! Yikes! THAT long ago. Only have a moment...at the moment, and don't know how to play this "tagging game" yet. But I had to laugh when I read at the top where you said that you were tagging people who were more or less shy...to draw them out to talk about themselves. Girl, you obviously don't know me very well! LOL! (But I hope that changes, soon!) Hey, I'll come back later (maybe tonight) and read through all this and do this "properly." Mostly wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday right now!!!! Sharon

Sheri, I think this is a wonderful idea. I've read all of it now...and guess what? I just happened to see a new post by someone. This is like his first day to blog. So I have "tagged" [prayerwarrior73]. I left a link to this post in his post. What a great way to help newbies into the fold! And Frances, I really loved reading all you shared about yourself. I'm still pretty new here (less than a month) and have only heard your handle come up in a couple of posts by gpsysong, but haven't actually read any of you posts or comments. I know there's something going on, but I usually stay out of....um...hotly debated topics as much as possible. LOL!! Anyway...Sheri, I also enjoyed reading all about you, too. I'll tag three others...as soon as I can FIND three other guys who haven't already been tagged! Man...this ain't easy! LOL! And I'll put my two cents' worth in (about me) later, too. Sorry to have to break this up in pieces, but I only had enough time for this now. Blessings!!!

One more time...(I'm determined to do this!) LOL!! prayerwarrior73

Okay...here are my other three guys: montana777 deeptodepths ForsakenOne

Okay, as promised, here's the inside scoop on WorshippingOne: My Work: I am a 29-year computer professional, self-employed working part-time the last 11 years. That's how I make about 80-90% of my income. In addition (and I'm kinda lumping all this together here), I have a music business/ministry. I have a recording studio in my spare bedroom and produce worship CD's that are used as tools for enhancing the worship experience of small churches, church plants, home groups, or anywhere there's not an anointed worship team real handy.  The title I have on my business cards is Worship Ministry Consultant and Coach. And what exactly is that? In addition to producing the CD's, I consult with pastors and leaders about everything from equipment needs to people issues (regarding music, of course). I then coach those who are actually involved in the music. I play multiple instruments (keyboard, drums, guitars) and can sing multiple parts. I do all the music production and arrangement in-house. Occassionally, I have guest artists join me on projects. But most of the music on the five Praise Project CD's I have was done by me. In addition to the Praise Project CD's, I have almost 50 Worship Service Song Set CD's. These are collections of songs from my Praise Projects as well as from commercially-recorded CD's from Integrity's Hosanna! Music like from their iWorship series. I use these CDs when I lead worship. And my most current assignemnt is I'm helping start a church about 100 miles away. We just held our 8th weekly service this past Sunday. I take a light-weight keyboard, a small Kurzweil sound module, a stand, my CD player and we have a pretty awesome worship service--not because I'm there, but because God always shows up! My Location: I live just south of Lynchburg, VA in a two-bedroom apartment. I've been here 24 years and LOVE it here. I'm open to moving when I meet my David if that's the way it needs to be for us to be together. But that's probably the ONLY way I'm going to be uprooted out of here! I grew up in hot, windy, flat, hardly-any-scenery, tornado-prone south-central Texas. It was great growing up there, and I don't mind visiting, but I SURE don't want to go back and live there! LOL! My Relationship With the Lord: Quite simply, everything I am, everything I do, every choice that I make, every part of my life is influenced by my everyday, very intimate walk with Him. He's on my heart and my mind pretty much constantly. He's my Best Friend, my Teacher, my Life Coach, my Personal Trainer, my Counselor, my Father, my Master, my Savior, my Healer, my Provider, my Leader, my Helper, my Advocate, and my Intercessor. He's my shield, my strength, my rock, my wisdom, my joy, my peace, my glory and the lifter of my head. Without Him, I can be and do nothing. I am completely dependent on Him for everything. My Passion in Life: My passion is to fulfill His purposes for my life, and that includes a lot of things. In addition to my ministry of music, I've been involved in mentoring, and yes, that has included a lot of writing. Although I'm not currently doing it, I've led Bible study groups and have done a certain amount of teaching from the pulpit. I do operate in a teaching anointing as well as some of the the prophetic gifts during times of worship. Another area I'm passionate about is that of living a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. Like you, Sheri, I had to learn the hard way that I can't work 60+ hours each week, go 90 miles an hour all the time, and expect to stay housed in this earth-suit very long! LOL! I'm an avid bicyclist and currently have over 40k miles on my road bike. I once published an online health and nutrition newsletter and still occassionally do a little consulting in that area. I plan on posting my testimony of how I lost 60 pounds (over a 12 year period) and completely eliminated a LONG laundry list of health issues by learning not only how to eat (for me!), but things like the role of yeast, mold, and fungus in the disease process. You'll have to stay tuned for more details on that. My Surroundings and Inner Thoughts: Hmm...well...not sure exactly how I want to answer this. I live alone, and for the most part, I work alone. I'm not close, emotionally or physically, to my family. I've been in a place of isolation for several years now, and that's due to the transition I've been going through. The last few months have been some of the toughest I've ever endured for reasons I don't want to reveal at this time. What I'm intimately aware of, however, is that God is "putting the finishing touches on the salvation He began" some time ago. You see, I have a call on my life. He spoke some things to me (publicly, by the way) in 1985 that set in motion certain things in my life. In that Word, He said that I was to be "warned and prepared, because what He's going to do a quick work--even more quickly than I can imagine." I'm very aware that the Apostle Paul was "in training" for over 13 years before the Holy Spirit set him apart and sent him out. Jesus first came on the scene when he was 12, then remained "silent" for the next 18 years...until the fulness of times had come. Moses sat on the backside of the desert for 40 years before the Lord called him forth...and on and on. In my heart of hearts, I know that everything in my life so far has been nothing more than training and preparation...for a grand finale. And with everything in me, I believe that grand finale will not happen until I meet my David. The stage really is set. My favorite T.D. Jakes quote is, "God propels prepared people into their purpose." As I commented recently on one of reallysaved's posts, it's not just about meeting Miss Right or Mr. Wonderful. It's about the conjoining of two hearts and lives for fulfilling His purposes for them. Those are my thoughts. (smile) Thanks, again, Sheri, for the opportunity to share all this here. Now...I wonder if anyone will actually read it since I'm so late in posting it here. (grin)

Well, WorshippingOne Tagged me....*sigh* You guys don't understand... I can't write about me without making a novella out of the thing, LOL! Well, I'll make a blog today for it, but I want to remind all of you that I have a tagging game of my own going on, as well. Look in my blog, entitled "I once was Blond, But not I see..." for details. By the way, Yendor, Dundeal and Firecracker1 were the 3 that I tagged in my game, heh heh heh... -Danny

Howdy, Indescribable, I was just joking about the liking kids/loving grandkids bit. I was one of the few women who got to be a stay-at-home mom and I got to REALLY enjoy my kids. I took them hiking in all kinds of seasons and weather, went to the symphony and plays, sports too numerous to mention (including their own!), swimming on a daily basis...uh, you get the idea. I just like my grandkids a tad bit more since I'm not responsible for the dirty diapers.

Cynamun - Now you post on their last blog and reference that you tagged them by copy and pasting the post number at the bottom of this page. Include only the brackets/post/number/brackets. Good luck. I'll be watching to see how you did. Cheers!!! (¯`•♥•´¯) ¤`•.♥.•´ ¤ (¯`•♥•´¯)

I'm sure it IS a blessing for other people, too. Thanks for posting your testimony, here, rock1970. And blessings to you there in the UK!

Wow, Rock1970 It's wonderful that you came to visit. Meow (Pete) often speaks of various people on BC and although I have never noticed you, I'm glad you came to share. It's so exciting to meet friends of friends. Supabubba - I have been aquainted with alot of new people on BC because of this thread because of new bloggers tagging new bloggers. My format has brought some out of the closet so to speak and starting making a few more transparent. Through this, I see glimpses of healing in some. But it doesn't stop there. Once they tag the site I am paying attention at least once a week to their blogs through the bookmark feature. So many times as we enter a new space wether it be in church or on BC or anywhere we are often greeted and then forgotten as a number. I would pray that people on BC don't ever feel that way and that they don't feel any less because they are newer. This is a very common feeling. This site is more than entertainment. It is for us to nurture each other in our faithwalk and educate when we feel we have expertise to share. As you will admit, our numbers are growing. I think that there needs to be teachers and leadership where there is a calling and I certainly need your leadership as well. I want to thank you for everything that you have taught me. You are a great teacher you are!!!! (¯`•♥•´¯) ¤`•.♥.•´ ¤ (¯`•♥•´¯)

Wow, Rock1970 It's wonderful that you came to visit. Meow (Pete) often speaks of various people on BC and although I have never noticed you, I'm glad you came to share. It's so exciting to meet friends of friends. Supabubba - I have been aquainted with alot of new people on BC because of this thread because of new bloggers tagging new bloggers. My format has brought some out of the closet so to speak and starting making a few more transparent. Through this, I see glimpses of healing in some. But it doesn't stop there. Once they tag the site I am paying attention at least once a week to their blogs through the bookmark feature. So many times as we enter a new space wether it be in church or on BC or anywhere we are often greeted and then forgotten as a number. I would pray that people on BC don't ever feel that way and that they don't feel any less because they are newer. This is a very common feeling. This site is more than entertainment. Everyone needs to feel special including the ones not on the list. Guess, I can relate a bit with this chosen last syndrome or not chosen at all as a child. It has made me feel sad when people have left BC because they did not feel like they fit. It is our responsibility to nurture each other in our faithwalk and educate when we feel we have expertise to share. As you will admit, our numbers are growing. I think that there needs to be teachers and leadership where there is a calling and I certainly need your leadership as well. I want to thank you for everything that you have taught me.

My work: My work is my children. I'm not able to get a job for the time being. In the past I have done a number of things - Secretary/P.A., Teaching Assistant, worked in shoe shop and priced up all the sale shoes wrongly hee hee, the shoppers got great bargains , and finally Aerobics Instructor. At some point I would love to get a job, but for now God wants me at home to attend to their needs. I'm grateful to Him for the gift of them. Laura 15, Samuel 14, Emma 11 and Jason 9. My Location: I live in a town called Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire, 25 miles north of London, UK, in a 3 bedroomed house owned by a Housing Association. My relationship with the Lord: Growing all the time. I ask for Him to show me Himself, His way for my life, communicate with me, love me. I tell Him everyday how much I love Him and can't do without Him, ask Him to never ever leave me ever. I tell Him my heart is open to Him, to do His open heart surgery on me, but please be with me whilst He's doing it as it hurts sometimes. I just want whatever He wants to give me. I want to study the bible in a way that I will be able to remember scripture and bring it to mind when I need it. To learn, learn, learn more and more about Him and His character. Oh flip I could go on and on, but won't take up your time. You get the picture My Passion in life: God Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I love Him with every ounze of my being. My children - they're gorgeous but then I'm biased, my mate whoever he is - I always have a passion and yearning for him. People, I love people. Money nah, material stuff nah, give me people any day. Helping others through what I've been through and am going through. Trials overcome with the Lords help. One day I'd love to have a ministry doing this, but God's will be done. I've been saved for 3 yrs this August 23rd. I wish I could describe it with an oooooo and ahhhhhh but you can't hear it. It's been tremendous how I've seen God work and continues to do so. I love to praise and worship, sing to Him. I love humour, teasing others, the connection through doing that is great. I love banter with that. Can't think of much else now. Ruth x Not sure if I've tagged this correctly. JehovahShalom drumsinhisheart yendor2 ForsakenOne

Jewell1961 - I had to just laugh when I read your post. I have had some of those similar experiences in mispricing. It really does make you feel about snail tall. Your dedication to the Lord and family shines bright and I look forward to reading more about your quest for His ways. You have wondered upon a wonderful supportive group of bloggers and I am sure that your experience here will be blessed. Yendor and Forsakenone and Supabubba are excused as you have already posted your stories numerous times. What popular guys you are here at BC. JehovahShalom has not created a blog yet, so I invited him to blog. Be on the look out for this mans wonderful testimony...and blessings for the weekend to come. (¯`•♥•´¯) ¤`•.♥.•´ ¤ (¯`•♥•´¯)

Mercy, what a trip reading all this. I've been tagged! I wondered what it was. Frances, in the pocket. Seriously. I learned an awful lot. Thank you. Worshipping one, Wow. All in a two bedroom apartment??? Unbelievable. Jewell, as always, you shine! I have to run. Have a second meeting tonight. Does the tag hold until I get home later? This is pretty cool. Thanks for the invite. I'm really touched. Thank you. Courage, Ray

MY WORK : I have been in ministry most of my adult life, until recently. Right now I'm doing carpentry. MY LOCATION: The Mountains of VA, and I love it here. Unfortunate circumsatnces placed me here, but it's peaceful, grand, majestic, serene, awesome, soft and bold. I've been to different places in the U.S. This is one of the prettiest places I've yet seen. I really have no desire to leave this place, but, God's will be done. If he calls, I follow. MY REALTIONSHIP w GOD: I wish I could talk to the Most High face to face. I wish I could take a walk with Jesus and see His eyes. I long for the Lord's return, to go home and see the sea of glass, to meet myvguardian angel, and travel the universe to see it all, every molecule (I guess that's more a passion, isn't it?), but, it's all about what my connection to God is - Hope. He gives me hope in a world I have absolutely no control over. He gives me hope when the last 27 years have been filled with too much pain and heartache. He gives me hope when I am thinking it's time to close up shop and go to "sleep." He gives me hope when I feel too tired to think anymore, too weary to figure it all out, and too lost for words when I have to speak in public. He is all in all. My connection to Him is weak, it is strong, it is not enough, it is more than I can handle, it is light, when I feel darkness. It is clean when I feel so filthy. It is comfort when I feel so pathetic. It is strength when the day seems so long. It is food, it is drink, it is clothing for my naked soul. It is whatever I need. And I need so much. MY PASSIONS: TRUTH!!! Truth and more truth. I love to dig it out, to teach it, to procliaim it, to think upon it and live in it as He gives me grace to do so. I love to see the faces when the lights go on and they see. I love to get a good discussion going. Drumming is a passion for me. My thunder and lightning storms. My gentle rain and swishing sea shores. The connecting with other musicians, the unity in harmony and the big finish of the anthems. It's electric. Nothing like it. Man, how I wish I could be a full-time, professional musican again, but now playing music to glorify God. I like working with wood. I love to see and feel the grains, I love the smell of it. I love to finish it up. I wish I had more time and better tools to get into it more. But, in making my own drums, it's a joy to be able to play the instrument you make. Health. My desire to be healthier for the lord, as a witness, as a tool to show that God wants people to be in health, even as their soul prospers. I've been into healthful living for 27 years, and more recently been doing seminars on just health, as its found in the Bible. Did the second meeting tonight of the current series. Not a large turn-out by any means, but people are seeing things they haven't seen or thought about before, and want change! Praise the Lord. That's what it's all about. So, I'd like to continue doing these meetings and see something develop out of it, though I'm not certain what, yet. My INNER THOUGHTS: Why do people throw stones? Why do they so easily judge character and motives? Why can they not stick to the issues on the table? Why do spouses pick on each other, make fun of each other, put each other down, especially in public? Why is it so difficult for Christians to understand the principle, "all ye are brethren?" I'm happy, I'm sad, I'm angry, I'm at peace. I'm confused, I understand. I'm tired, I'm exhuberant. I stretch too far, I shrink back too much. I'm a big mouth, I'm a shy wallflower. I laugh, I cry. I sit and ponder. I walk for miles. I listen to music cranked through 4' towers, I enjoy the silence and birds and the peepers at night. I am a long distance dad, and a short distance son. I am a mildly grieving ex-husband, I am a hopeful man, wondering if I will ever love again. I am a bull in a china shop, I am an artisan. I am a scared kicked around puppy, quivering in the corner. I'm an African Water Buffalo standing off the encroaching lions. I'm just me. I'd sure rather be like Jesus.

Hey, Ray, now it's my turn to say, "Wow!" Thanks for sharing your stuff. By the way, do you ever get out on the New River Trail? I've ridden it several times on my bike, including the terminus there in Galax. That IS a most beautiful area!

Hm. Wonder what happened on that one? And I still have to figure out how to tag them. (help)
| ||||||
|
And it's sbaggie2. Don't forget the "2." Plus, you also then need to go to that person's blog, find one of their posts, and say something like, "You have been tagged! Please report to the following post {here's where you create the link to this post by typing [ post 24475] and leave out the space between the [ and "p"} for more instructions. Thank you and have a nice day." Or something ilke that. And good choice, by the way, on who you tagged! Those are three people who I see post here a lot, but know very little about them.

I'll do it for you Ray. I just hope I get it right now LOL sbaggie2

Well of course I am all new to the blog thing and as I work about 70 hours a week am not on that often so please forgive me all of you out there. I guess this year is a renewing (pardon the spelling) for me. I got in a relationship the year before last that sent me down hil big time. I got to wrapped up in everything except Christ. The relationship didn't work. We were "unevenly yoked" for one thing her a nonbeliever and myself a born again Christian. I lost touch with my family as well and my relationships with my parents and sister suffered for it. But Christ got me through all of it. My relationships with family and friends are healed, I have a better job, my health is better, and each day I pray more. I rededicate my life to Christ each day praying that I live stronger and harder for Him. And that in everything not MY will but HIS be done. So I am reconnecting with what is untimately most important to me and has always been. Sometimes we take our eys off the road and take a wrong turn but we can always turn around. Thank you Jesus!!!!

Thnx for YOU!! In all of our days Our lives are changing There are always the tears As well as the smiles. May your days always be Far more lovely than lonely On life’s twisting roads As you travel its many miles. I'm sweet, kind, funny and caring. I'm a giver and helpful. I'm a good listener and easy to get along with.i use to enjoy cooking when the whole family was home to eat and enjoy our time around the table,i love listening sound of praised and worship song and reading those insperational word that really help me evryday. take care always...regards to your family..Love you friend As we walk along our path of life, We meet people every day, Most are simply met by chance, But some are sent our way. These become the special friends Whose bond we can't explain, The ones who understand us And share our joy and pain. Their love contains no boundaries, So even when apart, Their presence still embraces us With a warmth felt in the heart. God Bless!! sAllyBaggie

Thank you Ray, drumsinhisheartI am touched. MY WORK: I am retired and no longer work outside the home. MY LOCATION: I am a home grown Texan. I live in San Angelo, Texas. But I have lived in Hemet,California, and Gallup, New Mexico. I have visited Colorado and lost my heart. It is the most beautiful state. MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD: He is my Beloved, my Espoused. He is all I need, He is my Everything. MY PASSIONS IN LIFE: What really makes me happy. Gardening, writing, (God has blessed me with a beautiful gift), He allows me to put His words down on paper in the form of poetry and songs. He is the author, I am just His pen. God has directed me to create 2 web sites for these writings. I love listening to Christian music (mainly southern gospel). MY SURROUNDINGS and INNER THOUGHTS: I like my surroundings to be peaceful, people that are around me know that I prefer to have gentle, loving and kind people around me. I also run from confrontation. Because of my feelings about confrontation, I sometimes allow people 'run over me'. I am known around my family and friends as the peace maker. My inner thoughts: I think about someday seeing the face of my Beloved. I long to kiss His nail scarred hand and feet. To look upon the face of the one man who loved me more than Himself is my greatest desire. HERE ARE THE PEOPLE I WOULD LIKE TO TAG: banjoblues windsage sherrie4 heartfeltforyou  Elizabeth

I LOVE this tagging .. it has done so much for me to get to know others here .. but I have to say it can be toooo much for me at times .. so at LEAST I Try to read what those that TAG me say but do not always read all those that THEY tag as well .. I DO feel a bit guldty for this .. and want to say sorry .. but it really IS too much for me .. and pray I get some grace there .. though DO keep on tagging cause when I can and do do read just 'things' about 'people' I know here .. it helps me so much in understanding THEM .. and I have to laugh in a way cause I think that hey if I 'miss one' on one go .. I WILL pick them up on the next .. yeah hahahhaa ! and I like the 'catagories .. it helps! My work: stay at home mom .. atm I have 3 at home .. chris 12 and hannah 6 and my oldest daughter who is WAY flaundreing 20 .. chris IS THE most PERFECT kid you could want .. man pray for his protection .. my oldest Steph is FLOUNDERING .. and claims to be gay thought she has had no relations and well to be honest SHE IS CONFUSED .. hel;p help!! wonderful heart though one that tries to 'hate God' bur cant .. that makes me giggle .. so again .. help help .. And Hannah .. if you could take the BEST and put it in one person GOD has done it with her .. and if it was ONLY ME who said it .. well you could take it with a grain of salt but the thing is.. EVERYONE 'recognizes and sees' this lil girl .. she is only in kindergarten and 6 .. and I and well hell EVERYONE who meets her says the same .. SHE IS SPECIAL .. the thing is .. MOST do NOT know that she IS special cause GOD has blessed her .. I WILL do blog on her cause I DO NOT KNOW what to do with her .. To be honest .. my whole job or reason for being born could quite posibly be to RAISE this lil girl .. parents say that .. but when EVERYONE says that .. there IS more then parents .. and its MY job .. and I tell God .. hello .. i suck at it .. but no matter .. I must be 'something' right to raise this girl .. thank you sis .. for this .. people have told me for so long that all these terrible things have happened to me becausae I was 'chosen' by God for 'something' .. I thought IF they were even right .. well God BEST GET mainfesting Himself cause .. well .. no .. nothing.. but He DID give me this child the last of 5 .. that ALL loved .. incredibly smart, creative and talented and very pretty as well .. and above all that she loved Jesus .. and church and she wanted more then anything IF given the opourtunity to tell them all about HIM .. and this is by kindergarten .. she even told ME I was to write MY stories down in a book so she could read them to 'jenda' .. her unsaved friend .. and God is CONSTATNLY using her to remind me of what HE is trying to say to me .. and without ANY scriptural knowledge she tells me of them .. I ask her WHO is telling her .. she laughs and runs away saying .. I dunnooooooo .. and YES there IS lots more we think of OUR lives as what WE have to DO for HIM .. and I have NO DOUBT how much HE loves ME .. and I have know for so long HE has given me the expiances HE has for a REASON .. and throughout life I have found those reasons .. always to be able to 'relate' to others ... but the MOST amazing thing about my daughter Hannah is that she seems to do all that NATURALLY .. it IS effortless .. YES she is akid .. but as ALL who have met her say .. she IS NOT your normal kid .. and so far I am the only one that see not only that but omg the JESUS IN HER .. if you get that and I DO NOT KNOW what to do with that .. Im leaving it at that .. cause the truth is .. I do NOT know what to do with that .. her .. though I try .. as so many say .. there are no words to desribe her .. and the truth is .. THAT IS the truth .. though I guess prayer is always good eh hahaha .. well .. not going to answer anymore cause I really DO need to get alone with God and say .. um .. well... what.. ya know .. ...

Hey there Sheri and my dear friend Elizabeth, Thanks for the tag..I did not know what it was until I came in here..this is cool. I have been out of the loop sort of here lately..been very busy with life and God. Well, let's see, where to start? Work: I have four children, three at home that I home educate. I really have a full time job in this as well as full time mom to them. I work at my church, have recently started a preschool program and been very blessed by this. I tutor children part time in my home when they are having difficulties in public and private schools. I also do accounting work from my home periodically. My Location: I live in Madison, Alabama right outside of Huntsville. I grew up with my dad in the military and moved my entire life all across the US. I then married a military man at age 18 and continued moving for the next 12 years of that marriage. I came down here to Alabama after the divorce, mom and dad had settled here and this is where they were both from. I have been here since 1995 and met Scott here after two years on my own with my two children. We married in 1997 and had two more children. My Relationship with The Lord: I was brought up going to church on military bases, mostly Protestant and Baptist religion services. My parents laid a good foundation all in all...I continued attending military churches going to Baptist services until I came down to Alabama. I then joined a Baptist church here and have switched churches many times. We finally found a good church where we feel God led us to back last December. We attend a Baptist church here in Huntsville. I love God with all my heart. I teach my children a Christian curriculum in homeschooling. I study my bible daily and pray as well. I have a very close feeling relationship to God and know I just do not deserve what our Father blessed me with..I am thankful for my gift of salvation and He is always here. With all that happens in life, God has been constant in my life. I became a born again Christian in 1987 and life has never been the same. I grow closer to Him each day. My Passions in Life: What makes me happiest is giving to others, watching others get enjoyment, happiness from something I have done for them. I also get so much enjoyment from seeing my children grow in a positive, Christ centered environment. I love being able to watch them learn with wonder in their eyes..happiness in their hearts and joy..knowing they are loved. I love gardening, swimming, walking, playing with my children, taking walks with my husband, family picnics, parks, camping, hiking, playing a game of baseball or basketball with my boys. I also love to study my bible, write poetry, sing and laugh. I love to help children when they are in need..I have a very soft spot in my heart for kids and want to see them all loved and secure. I get happiness from simple things, flowers, kisses , hugs, good stuff lol. My Surroundings and Inner Thoughts: I am a very positive person, trying to encourage and uplift others daily. I am a calm, happy person and want to see the world happy, with no bad in it. I see the world with such beauty, love..all the good that God made here..I tend to see the good in all and mainly overlook any bad sometimes to a fault..ugh lol.. Not meaning I hang out with bad folks..I just tend to take longer to see that they are not as good as I actually thought. I do not judge others. I am a good listener. My world is filled with good friends and family, I am blessed this way. My health is good and I swim or walk daily. I laugh a lot, find humor in so much..especially me..yes, I can laugh at me..I can be funny when I am so not trying to..and that is what makes it funny..I live my life daily witnessing to others, the world is my ministry..I talk about Jesus and what He has done for me and to my heart daily..telling all about the good news. Scott and I came to Big Church last Nov for Christian friends and fellowship. I have been very blessed here to have been given a special gift from God in close friends. I have also met one of them for real and that was a blessing. I stay very busy and active in life. My dreams, goals, desires...for all to come to know Christ. I speak with my heart, I feel God placed such love in here for all..I bubble with it always..a bit too much energy as well..sometimes having a hard time sitting down and relaxing..I just want to dance, play and jump around..lol..kind of like my children.. Smiles, love and caring are important to me and I wish I could wrap the whole world with safe love..gumby arms here lol.. I feel God is just so awesome! He never turns His back on us, never forsakes us..I don't know what tomorrow holds for me..I am not promised a tomorrow..so, I live today and am happy in Christ for what He gives to me..Thanks again for tagging me.. I think someone tagged me before and I had no clue what it meant..I think Caroline..sorry sis..did not get the jist here..lol..thanks again, this is great and God bless you all..Love to each of you..now, I have to try and find four men..ugh..this could be hard..I will try.. GBY, Sherrie Carol PS-Happy belated birthday Sheri!!!

Hey Laurie, The purpose of this thread is so that we can all get to know each other and to assist in new bloggers and older bloggers to do kinda a social mix up to meet other people outside their normal circle of friends. There are alot of really great new bloggers that have not been noticed yet and this helps others to find them. At least this is my hopes. Hope all is well with you. Sherrie and Scott .It was such a pleasure to have met you briefly several months ago on chat. I am glad you stopped by. Your light really does shine. The home you describe reminds me of my childhood. It is awesome when children are raised in a loving home and so unfortuneate when you hear stories of those that have been raised from totally disfunctional families. What we do as parents today do affect our children. I still look back with gratitude and your children will too. What a blessing! My birthday was wonderful because of all the loving people here on BC. (¯`•♥•´¯) ¤`•.♥.•´ ¤ (¯`•♥•´¯)

After spending an inordinate amount of timing reading pages of blogs to understand your "Tag" concept, and then, trying to learn the technical proceeures for posting photos, I am going to begin with my post here on the blog, "Simply Indescribeable." Then, I'll try to figure out how to tag others and leave them the link leading back to here. [You can expect an email from me for instructions on "how to" do this. ]First time lesson for me to learn all of this. It is a bit overwhelming for me, to say the least. Nonetheless allow me to share a slive of my "story", okay? MY WORK: This is the final week of the Spring semester concluding my first year in San Antonio as a part-time instructor at Palo Alto College, St. Mary's University, and The University of Texas at San Antonio. Well, I've been part-time at each institute of higher education, but it's been taking a great deal of my time. I've taught Reading Education and Speech Communication at Del Mar College, Corpus Christi, TX; The University of Georgia, Athens; and Southwest Texas State University, San Marcos, TX. It's been very enjoyable, but not fulfilling. I am certified to teach Elementary Education and Special Education in Texas, too. However, I prefer the college level. I really am ready to write...now...full-time. I have nothing workwise scheduled for this summer. After this week, I will launch my project ideas into action to create an entertaining/inspirational novel to the glory of God! MY LOCATION: I have lived in Texas since 1977. Prior to moving to the Lone Star state, I lived in Indiana and Utah. I resided in Corpus Christi for over twenty years. I lived in Kerrville, Texas before moving to San Antonio, the Alamo City, in August 2005. The climate here is hot, hotter, and unbearable. Thank God for air conditioning. I can't imagine how early pioneers and settlers ever managed to get by without A/C! MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD: I was raised in the Lutheran Church. However, after high school, I did not attend church for years. I was married to a Mormon and suffered an unequally yoked relationship for 26 years. However, I have always had a strong personal connection with my Lord. Within the last several years I have been drawn closer to God and improved my understanding of that personal relationship that I've needed to have with Jesus Christ. I am a church member of Calvary Temple (non-denominational/Full Gospel) in Kerrville, Del Way, Pastor. MY PASSIONS IN LIFE: What really makes me happy. Reading, writing, communications, listening to people, people watching, travel and adventure, spectator sports (SA Spurs) and quiet walks with the Lord. MY SURROUNDINGS and INNER THOUGHTS: I like my surroundings to be calm, supportive people that are a balance to my tendency to be enthusiastic, exuberant, and overly excited, sometimes. I prefer to associate with gentle, loving and kind people. I am not afraid to speak my mind and often do...sometimes to my detriment. I believe my purpose is to serve God by helping others. I am content to wait for the Lord to provide a loving partner with faith and action dedicated to His service. My thoughts have been about how God provides us all with an insight into life that allows us to make decisions correctly in a quick, twinkling of an eye. "God's glance" means we trust Him to tell us what kind of a perspective to assume, rather than rely on our human frailties. Hallelujah! God is providing me with so much good stuff to share that I am just going to put it into a narrative and go for publication. God willing this could lead to a new career which would be most fulfilling to me. HERE ARE THE PEOPLE I WOULD LIKE TO TAG: [photocarolinehampton] [photoappreciate] [Sunny0124] [myrrh777] Rebekka, HELP!!! How do I post my message their site......

I am really surprised as I read some of these profiles how much so many of us have in common. Thanks for being so visible in spirit. The Lord certainly does show His love thru all of us. OK-Isaiah Now to tag these wonderful ladies, go to the bottom of this post and copy the post # including the brackets.

I've just moved to Lake Land, FL and I guess I need to change my zip code. I think I'm making progress somewhere, if you know, tell me. I call people up all day and badger them to buy something they won't ever need, won't ever use and will never like. I am your best friend when you don't need me most at your home, mornings, noon and nights. Until I can get into management somewhere, I guess this will be it. I'm not exactly sure where Lake Land is to anything else yet, ask me in a few months, maybe by that time I can find myself. I think it is a little over 2 hours from Largo, at least it took that long to get here when I moved. I can't find my pet snake either, he might have run away. I think we have a good relationship, I think it's getting better too. This blogging stuff really helps, I think. You guys are really smart. I'm not in love with any woman right now and don't want to be, they're trouble!!! I can't stand that stupid chicken next door, every morning before the sun comes up it's making an awful racket, some one needs to shoot it to get out of my misery!!!  Friends are great, but very aware of those female types, most of them are nuts!!! How come I have to pick 4 of them!!!!!!!

Hi I guess I have been tagged. I am not really sure how this works but here goes. MY WORK Currently I am working at a company that produces offering envelopes. If any of you are Catholic, chances are I have helped get your envelopes to you in one way or another. I am hoping to change jobs within the next month, and got a call today from a former employer. Hopefully everything works out because it will mean I will me making the move I have been wanting to make for the last 6 months. MY LOCATION Currently Huntington, Indiana. It is south of Ft Wayne about 30 minutes, and 1.5 hours north of Indianapolis. It is also known as the hometown of Dan Quayle. I was born and raised up here (I left when I joined the Army in 1982) and returned here 3 years ago because I felt like God was calling me to return here to be closer to my folks. Before that, I lived in Springfield, Missouri for 18 years. I have a daughter, granddaughter, and Son-in-Law still down there. I also still have many friends down there, and recently have felt like God has given me permission to return. My phone call today, may be the door opening. MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD I am still growing. I struggle day by day to walk close to him. To many times I have to learn things the hard way, and sometimes I am just plain stubborn. Sometimes I feel like I have fallen into the briar patch. He is working to pick the briars out. Fortunatly, God is gracious. I am a work in progress, and one day, the thorns will be gone. I can hardly wait for that day, because having the briars picked out hurts. MY PASSIONS What it is that makes me happy. HANNAH. Grandkids, If you don't already have one, get one. If you can't get one, borrow one, if their grandparents will let you. Other that that, I love to be outside. I like to canoe, and hike. I also love nature photography. Gardening is also fun. I like flowers. When I am not outside, I enjoy reading. My favories are Agatha Christie mystries. I also like Christian authors. Beth Moore is my favorite. I also like Kay Arther, Rick Warren, and Lori Copeland. MY SURROUNDINGS & INNER THOUGHTS I like my surrounding to be organized. Caos drives me crazy. I am not very good at acheiving this, and hence most of the time I feel a little nuts. I like to get along with people and by nature am somewhat of a pleaser. I don't like to ruffle feathers, and don't like conflict. I will do almost anything to avoid an argument. I have struggled all my life with self confidence, and God is working with me to build my self worth. I am on Weight Watchers, and hope to acheive my goal by the end of this year. I have lost 45 pounds since September, and have another 40 to go. So far, I am on track, and excited about being slim again. Now how do I know who to tag? I will come back tomorrow and tag them. It is 1043pm now, and I need to get up at 530am. Thanks for including me.

My handle is a mix of two college team names as well. Hoosier like Sooner or Husker kinda explains itself. I also follow the Missouri State (formerly SMS) Bears. I think if I remember the instructions right, post on here [ photo memberid ] or [ blog memberid ] take out the space before and after the brackets. Then go to their last blog and enter the number for this post [ POST 24475 ]. The post number is located under the reply box Remember no spaces before and after the brackets. It was good to hear from you.

I was tagged by skeptical. I am a single mother of two beautiful daughters a six year old and a 16 month old. Last year I faced the greatest challenge in life, my 16 month old was born with transporstion of the great arteries, and need a surgery, the doctors said that she would live but thank God she is alive, every day of my life i am thankful to God, I thank God for blessing me with these two angels. My work: I work 371/2 hours a week as a maid at the largest hotel the Atlantis here in Nassau, Bahamas. I have been employeed at this institude for the past 11 years, I will resign at the end of this year to start my own business. My Relationship with God: I have been a christian for a little over an year, it was the best decesion that I have ever made, although every day brings forth new challenge, God is a good God, so every challenge that comes brings forth new growth in my christian walk, for I know that I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me and I realize that the race is not to the swifest but he that endureth to the every end. I am presenly between church. Passion in life is reading, going to the beach with my children, and singing although my sister and friends say I sound like a drowning wet cat. On that great getting up morning I will sing a brand new song with the angel, and i know my voice will be beautiful. My greatest desire is to see all my family and friends accept Christ as their Lord and personal Savior. I am of a thankful hear, for I am constantly thanking God for his grace and mercy and for his loving kindness, I love God and have a great respect and love for everyone.

OK I am tagged. I am going to learn how to do a blog. Will work on tagging 4 guys. I work at a safety council for the petrochemical industry. I was in sales/marketing for 30 years. I am in transition. Want to go to school to study nutrition. My location is Deer Park, Texas. I have lived in the general area for 51 years. It's about 30 miles SE of Houston. I have lived in my home for 25yrs. I am going to put the house on the market within the next month and purchase a condo. My Relationship with the Lord is continually growing. I grew up in a small Baptist Church. I would say in the last six years is when I really started knowing the Lord. I attend services twice a week and attend other study groups including Beth Moore. Will continue to build my faith as long as I am on this temporary earth. My passions in life are my family/grandchildren, music, singing in the choir, people, and life. I would like to travel and do some missionary work. Thanks Sheri. Our God is an awesome God. Rebekah We are designed like God-- fully human, fully alive.

Thanks for asking: My Work: After high school I did a one year program and ended up working in a hospital laboratory for 8 years. Needless to say I saw many sick people not get well. I was very sick myself and my doctor told me I would eventually become a diabetic. This was not something I was prepared to live with I was only 23 yrs-old. I started looking for other ways to get well. At the time I discovered Chiropractic care made significant changes in my health. After much debate I determined Chiropractic was a better career choice. It took me 10 years to complete it because I got married along the way, had a child, got sicker, and became a single mom before I finished. When I had approximately one year of college left I felt God calling me to California. I had no clue what this was all about but I had screwed up my life beyond repair and made a deal with God. (I did not know anything about being a Christian then!) I told God if He would let me finish I would move to California. and even give up my career for Him. My Location: In 1986 I moved to California thinking and expecting God to totally, supernaturally make me a success over night. I thought when I dropped my old life and followed Him everything would come up roses. (remember: I did not know anything about being a Christian then) If God had not confirmed to me more than once that this is where I was supposed to be I would have driven my car off Hwy 1 into the Pacific Ocean still in it! (Unfortunately that is not a joke.) The things that happened to me were so bad that I called them a “living nightmare”. BUT don’t feel bad for me! It took about 17 years but God is finally supernaturally working in my life. All the glory goes to Him. I am happy and healthy and know what God has called me to and very excited about it. (more about this later) BTW: God has healed me more than once. God knew what He was doing when He called me to this area. I live in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay. I was on heart medication when I first moved here and after a few months I did not need it anymore. Anyway, I live in a place that is great and at the same time not so great. We are 3 hours to the mountains and snow, 1 hour to the ocean, 30 minutes to SF, and I live on the bay!!! The traffic is challenging moment by moment. I had culture shock, economic shock, and city shock when I first came. When I was a teenager I lived on a farm in Texas. I had also lived in the Midwest where people are homey and friendly and there are green pastures. This is a whole nother world bubba. My Relationship With The Lord: There has been more than one person tell me I should have moved back home along time ago. Don’t think I didn’t consider it, more than once. But I knew God called me here and I was going to stay even if it killed me, and it almost did. I have been to hell on earth and back AND I AM CHOOSING to follow GOD! The enemy knew God had great plans for me. I believe that is why I went through so much. It took me years to give up control of my life. I remember the day it happened. I had just started reading the book, “The Power of A Praying Wife” and it hit me. I read the part where she quoted; John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” After I read that I threw the book on the floor. When I had finished crying I picked up the book and re-read the passage again and threw it on the floor again! When I got myself together I sat at the dinning room table and thought about God. I literally wrestled with God that day. I knew He had called me to be a Missionary when I was 14 yrs-old. It was time! I had two little dogs at the time and I looked at them and realized how dependent they are on me AND that is how I need to depend on God. I need to depend on God for everything. When I let go and decided to let God be in control I have had such freedom, joy, and happiness it is amazing. Has everything in my life become a bed of roses? No. But I realized that God did not say it will be all roses, He only promised He would never leave me and He will see me through everything. I am living my life now watching God move and take care of me. He is doing a much better job than I ever did. How does this relate to my location? This is where God has called me to preach and teach. My Passions: Through all the trials and tribulations I suffered I thought I had walked alone. I know now that God had me in the protection of His loving hands fighting my battles and keeping me safe. I remember the day I walked out of the pits of hell into the glorious light and freedom of salvation Jesus paid the price for, I am never going back! I have many passions. I will only share two. The first, on Judgement Day I want to hear “Well done my good faithful servant.” I am nothing except in Him. I tired to make myself something and found out I am still nothing without the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And my other top passion is people. I love people of all ages and children. God has given me a gift to see into the lives of people. (There is so much to say about this, but I won’t. This essay is already so long.) Be encouraged. No matter what a mess your life is in, God can fix it. No matter how much you have screwed up your life, God can fix it. I am living proof that God sent Jesus to set the captives free. Walk in the freedom and liberty that Jesus paid the price for. I hope that something I have shared has encouraged you to not give up on God, because I know He has not given up on you. You are a wonderful and special person because God made you in His image.

Can you just fill the love here, sorry I never got around to tagging anybody else but then again how could I just tag 4 when I have been blessed by so many here. I enjoyed reading all the wonderful comments but didn't wish to say anything so as not to leave out anybody. I have been blessed by many on here, to many to name, male and female alike, not only by their post, their comments, but their emails to me as well. I would love for all of you to be in my friends network but as a free member it is kind of hard to do so, but I keep catching a few of you all every week and eventually I will have you all in there. I have even been blessed to meet a few of the people on this site in person, as you well know as you were one of them and this was cool and a blessing to me and my babies. All of us as bloggers have a different and unique gift to gab which in turn makes other peoples day just a little bit brighter or better. I thank God that I can share just a little bit of my heaven and life and happiness with you here at bigchurch. I try with my post to have fun, to minister, to teach and to educate others in the Love of the Lord and to show that christians can have fun and we don't have to be dirty in order to have that fun. May the Lord continue to richly bless each and every one of you, cheers. May the Lord bless you and keep you

HI Sheri, This is a great idea!! Thanks for inviting me.. I am going to need your help though on how to tag. But to start a little about me. MyWork - I am a licensed 'vocational nurse and I have been nursing for some time now,, about 15 years or so. I have worked in just about every area of nursing there is, I think, but I really like home health. It allows me to meet people in their own environment and utilize my natural teaching skills. God spoke to me through His word when I was trying to figure what i wanted to do in the work field, after divorce and said "the poor and the sick you have with you always". Thank God for speaking in times when we need to hear. I love nursing and I am never without a job. My Location _ I am in north Texas. Sherman, Texas,, which is 60 miles north of Dallas. It is a small town,, (growing fast though). I was born and raised here in Sherman and I like the small town atmosphere. No hustle or bustle , everything is pretty much laid back and relaxed, smooth and easy. I like peace and quiet. I tried the city for awhile but I came back to what I love. My relationship with God - Wow,,I am so amazed at how much He loves people. Including me. I am learning that love is ultimate. I realize that love will cause me to keep His commandments. Love for HIm, love for myself and love for others. It seems like an easy thing, but, there are things like family background, childhood experiences and even adult choices and consequences of those choices sometimes prevent me from totally trusting God like I should. I thank God for His mercy and His grace. For when I know that I have fell short of love, I ask for forgiveness and receive and am given another chance to get it right. That is my relationship with God. He is my Father and a very good one at that! My Passion In Life - hummmm--I am most passionate about life, in general. I tend not to get worked up about things because life is ever changing. I see a lot of death and sickness and, I am reminded daily of how short and how precious life is. Life is a gift that I myself has taken for granted. But no more. If we all live life like the next breath was our last, the world would be a different place. My Surrounding and Inner Thoughts - I think probably all the above describes my inner thoughts and surroundings. I strive for peace. I am not a whimp, who accepts anything and bow down in fear. Peace is sometimes wrought by war. I will do whatever it takes for peace. Give in at the appropriate time, give up when necessary, and fight like the dickens when given no choice. Oh by the way,, my name means peace so I am told. What a legacy, but certainly not a coincidence. When I learn how to do it..

sorry for the delay in my response. i didn't catch on right away. MY WORK: I was a computer graphic designer for the last 20 years. For five years or so I ran my own business doing it. For the last 7 years my title was art director, and I was assistant art director for 10 or so years preceeding that. Last summer I kind of flipped out and lost my job. I haven’t been able to find another decent paying position in the field and have been forced to take whatever work I can find. Durring the winter holidays, I loaded trucks at UPS. Simeoultaneously, I worked for a courier in the suburbs abusing my van (I just put a new transmission in it because of that job). Right after that I got a job in a neighborhood copy shop until April when I started at cocacola as a merchandiser. I am still applying for graphic arts positions, but there is a LOT of competition willing to work for much less than I can afford to. I am also still waiting for the jesus rock star thing to come through. MY LOCATION: I have lived on the northwest side of chicago all of my life. Most of it, (30+ years) has been in jefferson park, a kind of mayberryish whitebread neighborhood about as far northwest as you can go and still be in the city (except for norwood park which practicaly is a suburb). My home now is in jeff park. It is kind of pricey here. When my kids get out of here I will sell it and move to a trashier neighborhood where I can live more cheaply. I kind of like the barrios, futher southeast into the city in the hispanic areas. MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD: My father was an athiest and my mother is an agnostic. I say father ‘was’ because I have tried to talk with my father about being an athiest lately and he led me to believe he no longer is. My mother is still an agnostic. I was raised without any religion at all. I found christ at awanas when I joined up to play basketball at 13. I am non-demoninational, but I don’t care much for catholicism or lutheranism. My church is officially apostlistic, but it has pentecostal leanings. I don’t really much care for the heavy pentecostal stuff either. I just am a generic jesus boy. But jesus is the most important thing in my life, by far. PASSIONS IN LIFE: One of the terrible things that happened to me last summer when I wigged out, was that I lost all direction in my life. I lost my dreams, my goals, my ambitions. I have kind of somewhat patched myself back together and with god’s help I again set my sights on things that I want to accomplish…but they are way short of passions. I suppose music is still my passion, I lost too what music used to be for me, but I have replaced it with music for the lord which I am more passionate about than I was about my music before. I am also passionate about writing for the lord. I had stopped writing for many years and god has been rebuilding this gift in me again. I am also very passionate about the lord, I am driven to him like a moth to the flame. I want so very much to be right by him. MY SURROUNDINGS and INNER THOUGHTS: I like for things to never change, to always be the same. I tend to find ‘systems’ to deal with day to day life. I make myself lunch and supper for a week in advance and then am just on autopilot. Before last summer, you could set a watch by me. I had everything figured out and planned, a system for everything. Since last summer, god has been taking me for a ride. He likes to stir up my best laid plans and keep me hopping on one foot most times. He has let me still do some things by rote, like my lunches, but most others he continues to keep changing up so that I have to deal with things on a one at a time basis, and I am consequently most times lately very off balance, way out of my comfort zone. So my surroundings too are ever changing. My inner thoughts, they tend to be the same as they always were. I am a worrier and an analyst. I worry about everything and analize everything to death. God has helped me to let some of this go, but neither of us has been able to get it completely out of my nature. I once heard a saying that ‘worry is like paying interest on a loan not yet incurred.’ That is me, I am always mentally paying for things that never happen. HERE ARE THE PEOPLE I WOULD LIKE TO TAG: I didn’t understand your instructions and I am too lazy to experiment. Would you notify these members for me? They are most of them not usual bloggers but people dear to me that I would love to drag into the blog world: PoeticFollower (she says she is leaving BC because there is nothing for her here, but i think she would be a great blogger) devine06 LoryB JCsSister3

ok kristina, i am going to take ls's cue and answer completely different this time. my work: i put soda pop on the shelves and build those big stupid mountain of pop displays on the ends of the isles. i have to turn each bottle in each cooler and each package on each shelf so that the product name faces out. did you know that they do all kinds of research on this stuff and that is sells way better when you display it just like so. you have NO idea how programmed your shopping habits are to the people selling you the garbage you are buying. as a shopper i always looked at the people who worked at the places i shopped as a nuisance. as a worker, i always look at the shoppers shopping as complete idiots. people will make me get out of thier way so that they can walk down the isle i am working in and not even take anything off the shelf. idiots. location chicago. everything you could ever possibly need or want is at your fingertips. sex, drugs, rock n roll, jesus, girls, you name it. it is all here and easy to get to. i can never understand how anyone could live anywhere else. suburbanites are people who can't handle it, but still wanna be close to it. how do people survive in iowa or wisconsin? my god he is everything to me. i love him so much more than i have or can love anyone or anything. he is a yearning in my heart that hurts. he is a music in my head that drowns out everything. he is a thundering in my soul that makes me ring like a tuning fork. passion i love women. i love the way they look, i love they way they walk, i love the way they smell, i love the way they taste. when i fall for someone, i fall completely. i am like a dog who has been home alone all day when his human comes home. i buy flowers all the time and say sweet things and do stupid little surprise things to make a woman feel special all the time. or, at least, i used to. my surroundings i have this little turret. it is a dormer in the attic in the front of my house. it was unfinished and i put electric in, drywalled it, and painted it last summer. my computer is in here as well as my guitars and my recording stuff and i spend more time here than i spend in my bed. i am starting a cross collection, you know, so people know what to get me when they have to get me something. so far i have two and they are up on the walls around me. i have a window in front of me that stares down the block and i can see everthing that goes on. it is like my tree fort. innerthoughts i am going to be somebody some day. i used to think i was going to be a rock star. i still think i might be a christian rock star. people who know how i think say i need to humble myself. i really think i am the next big thing. i think i am something that this world will not soon forget. i have always felt this way. i am just a long time coming. new tagees i'm not going to do it again

Oh Man!!! I can't believe I spent hours typing this up and then I lost it when I went back to the first page to figure out how to tag someone. Rats! I hate that when that happens. I was smart enough to save what I wrote when I went back to page 1. But dumb enough to loose it by copying the directions on page 1. lol, I crack myself up sometimes. Oh well folks, you are just going to have to wait a few days and let me try again. Hey!, any of you guys got any suggestions on who really needs to get tagged? Try this again later. YBIC, Carl

OK, I did the last/hard part first! So I might just as well to do the entire thing backwards, and let the dyslexia come out. 6. Inner Thoughts Those are best left with God, everyone else gets scared! 5. My Surroundings A RIOT, I seem to thrive in it. BUT...I have small pockets of quiet solitude build in everywhere. A garden, a corner, my room, a daily walk, a quiet drive. God delivers out of the messes in lives. 4. Passions in Life I have trouble understanding how to separate this one from my relationship with God and my work? These two are my passion. 3. My Relationship with God Is very intense! I live and breath God. My Savior, my King, my Lord. I serve Jesus. Where He leads I follow. 2. My Location I really liked how some of the others shared where they have been. I was an army brat. Born in Kentucky. Lived all over. As an adult I moved to Texas for five years. I live in MICHIGAN and desire to stay here always. I dislike moving at all. Travel is not my cup. I feel that God as called me to do some work in Africa, I am prepared. I think Michigan is the only place to be! This state as it all in just the right amounts! Check us out some time. 1. My Work Now before I get to involved here I would like to make a statement about the smiley wars. I have read about it, studied it a little and I have decided that this is the one area of my life that I may be a fence sitter. (Maybe I should have put that in the passions?) My work is Children ages 0-? The state of Michigan calls me a professional mom. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education. I operate a child foster care group home. I volunteer as a mentor to young mothers and I am a doula for teen mothers to be. I also volunteer with the department of Human Services to get community partners to help with foster children's needs. I gave birth to six of my own children ages 18-30. I then adopted three and I am in the process of adopting three more. I will continue to foster two more children. I have a great big house with a big, big table with lots of food and a great big yard where we can all play football! For real! susan

OK, this time I start by pasting the tag directions in this post first. Now what am I supposed to do? Yesterday I started out with yammering on about picking on a guy with an anxiety problem and then saying I was kidding. It seemed cute yesterday, but I don't seem to be able to find the words to make it cute today. I believe all of this info is in my profile and my blog in one fashion or another, but I will be a good sport and play along. MY WORK: I currently do not work. I am on disability. I am using the time I have been given to play. I used to work. That's all I did was work. It consumed me. Now I play. I bought an old car to restore. I watch cartoons with the kids. I rescue damsels in distress. I play. MY LOCATION: Born and raised in Michigan. I have been 3/4 of the way around the world and can't think of a better place to be on this earth. Brighton Michigan if you want to be nosy. Do you want my credit card number now? MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD: What about it? I got one. I am trying to make it better every day. I would not be without him. I would not be where I am now without him. I would not have what I have now without him. He has saved me more times than I can count. He saved me first a couple of thousand years ago. He saved me when he gave me my parents. He saved me when I was little and had no friends. He saved me when he showed me miracles done in his name. He saved me when I was young and he gave me friends. He saved me when I forgot him and went my own way. He saved me when I did not no he was there. He saved me when I should have died in a car accident. He saved me when he gave me my wife. He saved me when he gave me my job. He saved me when he gave me my 2 daughters. He saved me when I lost my wife and my job. He saved me from myself. He saved me by having me attend retreats. He saved me by introducing me to Christians who love me. He saved me through song more than once. He saved me by having me testify more than once. He saved me by filling me with his Spirit, oh so many times. He saved me by waiting for me. He saved me by never giving up on me. He saved me by forgiving me again and again and again.... MY PASSIONS IN LIFE: To love and be loved with every fiber of my being. I love my daughters. I love my family (even though my siblings and I do not get along at all due to my beliefs). I love my friends. Heck, I even love the ex (although I can't stand to be around her). And I love the Father and his Son. I love them because they first loved me. I love the Father because he sacrificed his son for me. I love the Son because he sacrificed himself for me. I love them because I could never repay them in a million lifetimes for what they have done for me. I love them because even though I screw up every day in one way or another, they still love me. I love them because they forgive me and then forget the wrong. I love them because they know me infinitely better than I know myself. I love them because they are always doing what is best for me. I love them because they guide my steps. I love them because they listen to my constant cries for help. I love them because they also answer my constant cries for help. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. I also think my old car and my car stereo are pretty cool. MY SURROUNDINGS & INNER THOUGHTS: I am in a house. I am in a bedroom in the house. Behind me to the left is a double bed in the corner with the blankets mussed up. There is also a cardboard box in the corner with a lamp, bible, and alarm clock on it. It acts as a night stand. To my left is a queen sized futon the kids sleep on when they are here. The blankets are also mussed up on the futon. Yesterday there was a bag full of dirty laundry on the futon. Today a clean pile of clothes takes it's place, as of yet unfolded. There is also a suitcase, a laptop, a bunch of pill bottles, and 2 bibles on the futon, within arms reach. Above the futon is the only window with an air conditioner in it making a soft humming noise. in front of me is a computer desk with my PC on it, along with a cacophony of objects littering the desk from external hard drives to empty soda bottles. Under me is a black leather office type chair that I can adjust up and down and twirl around in. To my right is a TV stand with a TV, cable box, VCR/DVD recorder, Surround receiver, and numerous remotes on it. To my right, behind me, is the door to what I refer to as my room. Behind me is a green clothes hamper with a fan on it pointing at the bed. Behind that is a shallow closet with 2 dressers in it. There are speakers scattered about the room. There is a framed poster in black and white of the three stooges in caps and gowns hitchhiking on the side of a road, with a caption that reads WHAT DO WE DO NOW? under it. Another framed poster of Spiderman climbing a wall, and a plaque given to me when I was in the Marines hang on the walls. Above me are 2 stained wooden beams that run the length of the angled ceiling. Between them hangs a 70's black chandelier with 2 tapered lights in it. on the floor are a few car parts catalogs, pairs of sneakers, and various toys for little girls. I am thinking I need to fold and put away the laundry. I am thinking I need to straighten up a bit. I am thinking how blessed I am to have all these things. I think Just to be on the safe side I will post this and then look for victims to tag tomorrow. Thanks for asking me to join in. YBIC, Carl

Ok, well I’ll bite and join in the merriment. I don’t have a clue how to tag someone though. My Job - I’m a regional controller for a hotel chain. I have my own hotel that I have complete financial responsibility for and then oversee 7 others. I love to opportunity to guide others and help them reach their potential. The travel is getting to me though. I’ve been with the company for about 12 years starting out as a night auditor and worked my way through the ranks until last October, where I arrived at my current position. I have a lot to learn it has been quite a growing experience. I never would have expected to end up here. My Location ‒ I live in a townhouse in Vancouver Washington. I moved in just before Christmas along with my 2 kitties Tuffy and Ziggy. I have a big open field in the back where Cows roam and a pond to the side (actually a water reclamation project) where I can hear the frogs and birds. I was born in Ashland Oregon and raised in Eugene Oregon. My Relationship with the Lord ‒ My greatest desire is to serve him. The area that is my biggest struggle is matching up desire and discipline. I am a continuing work in progress, although in varying degrees my belief is that we all are. My parents took me to church when I was younger (it was the proper thing to do ‒ however they didn’t stay) Then I started going with a friend to her church in Jr Hi. I got saved here. Currently, I attend a non-denominational charismatic church. My Ministry ‒ current and vision ‒ Currently, I am a member of the worship team at my church and I also administrate the schedule. My passion is worshipping God through Music. Eventually, I would love for my work and ministry vision to meld. I would love to be involved with a Christian Retreat center. I believe that my current employment is preparing me for that. So whether it is a paid position or a volunteer or perhaps in conjunction with a partner that is where I feel I’m being led to eventually go. Hobbies - Probably the thing ourside of church that I'm most involved in is Sweet Adelines. It is a blast, we sing 4 part harmony in the barbershop style. Not just handlebar mustaches and straw hats any longer. The chorus I sing with is internationally competitive placing as high as 7th in the world. My Greatest Desire ‒ Quite honestly it is to be married and be the worlds best mom / wife / helper and raise Godly kids. Growing up, I never had any desire for career that is what I always wanted. At this point I know that I will probably not bear children, but that wouldn’t stop me from helping raise someone elses’. As an adopted person myself, I know that birth and blood isn’t always necessary to love and care for a child. I've enjoyed reading/learning a bit about all of you.

Following Sheri's & Pete's promitings, here I am. Life in Fiji is for me, pretty much as good as it can get.. Fiji is situated in the approximate centre of the South Pacific archipelagoes, about 17deg. South of the equator and on the 180deg meridian. I live here on a modest pension earned after 17 years in the British Merchant Marine which keeps us in the top 10% to 15% level of income bracket; which would not be the case in any European country I know. Living on the S.W. Corner of the Main Island of Viti Levu with the S.E. trade winds prevailing 90% of the year we have as beautiful a climate as I could ask for. In Winter [Late May to early October] the 3pm peak temps rarely rise above 100oF and the night temps are down to a cool 80oF with the occasional night down to around 65 to 70oF; and that is as cool as I want to go thanks.. I’ve had enough of English winters Snow Blizzards, Ice packs and icy cold rain trickling down your spine to last me an absolute lifetime. 1 or 2 a week we will get late afternoon thermal showers, usually around 5.30 to 6 pm, just on sunset; perfect end to a balmy day. The Lifestyle is what ever U choose to make it, but I’ve found it best not to look to deeply onto the indigenous Melanesian Fijian life nor the Hindu or Muslim communities [Fiji is about 52% indigenous, 45% East Indian stock; 4th generation in Fiji and 3% Polynesian, Chinese, European and other mixed races] The Local cultures are about 100 years behind our ways [Fijians were still Cannibals up to 1830(ish)] and struggling with Globalization; similarly, the Indo-Fijians are street smart in their business and work life but ancient in Culture. A lot of our (European) important values like integrity, love, honouring your word, sincerity and so forth take on entirely new if any meanings and Fiji [or Bula (=Aloha)] time is the secret as to Fiji is one of the Major tourism Markets in the Southern Hemisphere; generates around 1 billion US $ per year. Fiji Time approx somewhere between 10mins early to never happen!! Nadi, our home is Host to the International Airport and Hub of the Tourism Industry which is another reason why its best place to live when a Whiteman or Vulagi . The Shops & stores carry what we need for our lifestyle; not the case everywhere. Also we tend to get a more reliable water, sewerage, electricity supplies and an active Police Force.

A bit more on Fiji. As mentioned, one of the issues left behind by the colonial powers was that of creating 2 nations in 1 land. What I define as a nation is a significant group of people; say 2,500 plus who have developed their own individual language and culture and live that way as a community. I could use a larger number but some of the small island states only have 1,100 residents or so and a few thousand living else where, eg Tokelau, Nuie and even Tuvalu only has a world-wide population of some 12,000. Any, back to Fij. The Colonialists introduced a serious number of Indian indentured labours whom they left here on leased land, farming suger. Now Fiji has 2 nations fighting for dominance, the indigenous Fijians [of melanesian & polynesian extract] numbering some 350,000 and the Indian community made up of the origonal indentured labourers 3 or 4 generation and recent commercial additions numbering 300,000. The fijians speak their traditional language and have their traditional culture originating from about 3,500 years ago; Whilst the Indians have their traditional Hindi based language & cultures from India and of even older origins. There is a high level of good will between the ordinary people [despite the politicians] but at heart they R seperate and the Indian people work hard to minimize cross cultural marrages etc. How can U govern such seperated diversity as 1 nation when the aspirations of each nation R fundamentally opposed. Welcome to Fiji.

I am back, My name is Ani, I hope I remember what you want to know I live in Germany at the time, because my dad past away three years ago very suddenly, and my mom got really depressed. I had promised her years ago, that if she will need me I will come back. I am a person that keeps promises and so I am back in Germany, after 13 years of living in Canada and the USA. I was born and raised in Russia. At the age of 13 I accepted Jesus in to my life. I guess he saved me before I got into the rebellious age, so I never really rebelled. In 88 I moved with my parents and two sisters to Germany. I finished the Language Institute and 18 months later moved to Canada to study Mission, but I added Early Childhood Education to it. I like challenge. So I started to study with only minimum of English and graduated four years later with two Bachelors in Mission and in ECE. It was God's way of showing me that he can do miracles in my life. I did my internship in South Africa, doing Muslim Friendship Evangelism with a couple from Ontario. It was not challenging enough, so I got convinced to work at a daycare, where 95 % of the kids were from single-parent homes and were at the daycare up to 8-12 hours a day. Some of them had a lot of emotional problems, so I started to study Marriage and Family Therapy at an extension from a Seminary in California. In 98 I moved to California to finish my studies, and I graduated in 2000. I did my internship with a counseling program based at the seminary. I really loved my job, but God had other plans and brought me back to Germany. I wrote my licensure exams in California, it took a few trips back, and got this year my license to practice independently in California. But I am living in Germany and after fighting for three years with the bureaucrats of this country, I am working for an Academy for Education and Counseling, which a bunch of us have founded. It is slow, but God has really blessed me here. My mom is doing better and I get to work more. I counsel and teach english to kids and adults at the academy and also at home and at day cares. I also do counseling at the local school and teach German to Immigrants. God has given me a variety of jobs. As long as I couldn't leave my mom alon, I used to have at home an alteration business. My pastor used to call it a Psychological alteration. People used to bring their clothes and sat for hours, sharing their problems. Did I cover every thing? I guess I have to get three guys onto this site. I will try it later. What God does in our lives during the waiting period is just as important as what we are waiting for.

I forgot about my inner thought.... I am greatful that God has saved me at a verry young age, and spered me alot of headach and trouble, I would have gotten myself into otherwise. I love him as my Abba. My favorit picture is sitng on his lap and being embraced by his unconditional love. I am his princes, and I know that there is a prince whom he is going to give me to. I know he wants the best for me and I am willing to wait.

Ups, I forgot about my inner thoughts. God is my Abba, and I love to sit (imagine) on his lap and being embraced by his unconditional love. I am his princes, he is the king and has a prince somewhere for me . I know that he wants the best for me and I am willing to wait. I have learned to trust him over the years. My favorite verse is "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will fulfill the desires of your heart" Ps. 37:4My passion is to work with kids, I even used to work as a children's pastor during my seminary years. I LOVE to garden and to paint with oil, and of course I am passionate about my job. Sometimes I sit there and wonder what God is doing in my sessions.

O.K. indescribable... I am a New Yorker born in Richmond County now called Staten Island after the consolidation of the five boroughs. i am currently recieving S.S.I. and S.S.D. for what happened to us in Yale University Southern Annex. It doesn't even pay the bills... I fully believe in the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY who goes by many Names and No name. He is expressed as the cosmic egg of all potentiality, The ALL. His possibilities are endless by the constant permutations of his Most Holy NAME. We are His Eyes Ears and Bodies. HE is Ultimately ONE. AND HIS PERMUTATION IS ONE. Anyone truly initiated in the Mysteries will fully understand this and their place in the ONE THING. AS ABOVE SO BELOW. "Thy will be done on Earth, Father, as it is in Heaven." My take on relationships is that I am middle aged but would like to find a compassionate giving sharing loving partner who understands that although she might be my one true love. because it is so late in my life and due to all the abuse which did not originate from me, I need to have an understanding that i need to love some younger women and procreate like Abraham and Hagar because I want my own children to carry on before I die. who my one true love is... he he he... she knows who she is. And she has not been faithful to me either... so... Let's forgive and start over. According to the original plan. does that answer your questions Indescribebable? I tag: Windsage Indescribebable hynde JCSister3

Thanks for tagging me, Fruitbat! Is everybody actually reading this blog, still? I wonder why I don't see it on the "most comments" list. Here goes. I hope I don't make this into a book, but no promises. My work: I audit child support cases for the county's child support office. This means that I research case files and figure out how much a noncustodial parent owes according to his/her court order, and how much he/she has paid. It's complicated at times, depending on whether or not the custodial parent was on welfare, whether or not the children were passed back and forth between the parents or other people, and whether or not the children were ever in foster care. This job is well suited to my quiet and independent personality. It is sometimes hard to read some of the history of the cases, though, as many children come from such messed up homes. I read a lot of cases where children have been sexually molested or physically abused, and use my job as an opportunity to pray for them, even if the incidents occurred years ago. My location: I live in the Salinas Valley on the central coast of California, about 20 minutes away from Monterey. My claim to fame is that Salinas is the hometown of famous author John Steinbeck, and Cannery Row in Monterey was the setting of one of his famous books. I don't really like it here because it is too cold. Oh, not cold like where it snows, but the temperature rarely gets above the low 60's and summers are nearly always overcast with "marine layer" (aka fog). To me summer is supposed to be sunny and warm. I wouldn't mind the cooler winters if summer would just cooperate! I would love to live in a mansion and have servants, or in a log cabin in the mountains and enjoy four seasons, or in a cozy cottage in the country. Anywhere but a small apartment in a medium-sized city. Relationship with God: Jesus is my one and only and I am very close to him. Like all relationships, though, my relationship with Jesus ebbs and flows. I recently had a particular closeness with him and am now going through a time of distance. I know I need to read my Bible and pray more, and that will bring me closer to him again. I was raised in an Assemblies of God church and once I realized that God can't be put into a box I moved on to a non-denominational church. Legalism and self-righteousness is a hard thing to break away from, though, but I've been working on it and making improvements. Furthermore, I am a fundamentalist in that I believe in the basic fundamental truths of the Bible. This does not make me a fundamentalist right-wing ultra-conservative wacko, though. It only means that I seek God's truth and sometimes that means doing things differently, and not doing things that would compromise my faith, or my witness. I've had my rebellious periods, too, so I'm no different from anybody else. Making past wrong choices and being forgiven for them helps me understand other people better. My passions in life: My main passion is my son. I wasn't a very good mother in his early years so I am trying so hard to make up for that. He's a great kid and I love him dearly. Being quiet and shy might make you think I haven't many passions, but I do. My country is one. In spite of its problems, I think it is one of the few greatest countries on earth. I am also passionate about right and wrong. I don't mean legalism, though. Legalism is the church making up do and don't rules. I try my hardest to live by God's rules and sometimes that means not doing things other people do. And they don't always understand that and call me legalistic, or a prude, or a fundamentalist wacko. Another passion I have is my hobby, genealogy research. It is so fascinating to me to see where I came from and how my ancestors lived their lives. I haven't had a lot of time to spend on this, though, since I am going to school. Writing is another passion, and after I'm finished with school I hope to start doing some more writing. Surroundings and inner thoughts: Right now I am surrounded by stress and I don't like it. School is tough, making sure my son does his homework, getting to work on time and keeping the house clean is all tough. But I'm managing, and I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It also helps to keep in mind that I haven't got it bad, at all. There are others who are much worse off than I am! I like peace, don't like conflicts, run from trouble, try to be diplomatic and understanding, and like routine. But I also get bored when things are too peaceful or routine. I like to try new things as long as they aren't scarey and I don't have to do them alone. I enjoy culture, but rarely get to experience it. My inner thoughts are deep, in my opinion. I've shared a few of them here, but as my blog intro says..."whether 'tis nobler to share my innermost thoughts or keep them to myself....." I'm very analytical and sometimes think too much. Finally, I love anybody with a great sense of humor because it just feels so good to laugh!!! The people I tag are: ironworker2 underonegod838 hisglory77 seabee55

It's an attempt at getting people to tell something about themselves. On page one you'll see the five things inquiring minds want to know. But, so you don't have to go there, I'll tell you here: 1. Your job 2. Your location 3. Your relationship with God 4. Your passions in life 5. Your surroundings and inner thoughts. And remember, women like details. Don't just say what your job is...tell what you like about it, or something like that. Same with your location, etc. 2. I moved back to England in 1999, after nearly a lifetime in Scotland. The City I live in, Norwich, is small enough to be regarded as a big village. It has ancient walls and a Castle. It is okay here, and in seven years has offered me a variety of opportunities. 3. My testimony has already appeared on my Blog. I was backslidden when I came here, but have been restored to the Lord - and now to preaching (albeit not in England so far, but in India.) I feel I am getting ever closer to God - the only thing that stops me is my propensity to sin. 4. Amongst other things, I enjoy cricket - a gentle Summer game for gentlemen. Also Rugby, a rough Winter game for gentlemen. Nothing quite like a relaxing day at the cricket, a picnic, the quiet of a Summer's afternoon. Or thew envigorating warming effect of an exciting rugby match on a cold damp Winter's day. 5. I moved into a new flat this year, and have spent alot of time, effort and money making it a pleasant place to live. I have painted, hung curtains and lampshades, and made the place altogether homely. This is important. I like peace and quiet. A calm environment. Soothing hot baths. And good food. I can cook adequately for a man alone, and am not a stranger to giving hospitality. So there you are - maybe now you do know a little more about me?

Ok, here goes. Work: I work for a restaurant/coffee place. Although I only work part time, I enjoy meeting new people. We get a lot of travelers through here from all over the world, so it is a pleasure when I can talk to them and make them feel a little special in their travels. Location: Kamloops, B.C., Canada. I was born and raised here in B.C and have spent my life in this beautiful Province. Although I was not raised in Kamloops (been here for 2 yrs), but lived my life on the outskirts of Vancouver. My Walk: Baptized in 1989........ although fell away about a year later. I was raised in a Christian home and my family's faith goes back through many generations. After I fell off the path that God had set before me, I lived my life the way I saw fit, and as you know, we can't live like that without consequence. I came back to the Lord 3 years ago and have no intention of running away again. I love the Lord with all my heart and it has taken me a long time to realize that I need Him always. I rely on Him for everything. Without Him, I am nothing, can do nothing and will not survive without Him, speaking from experience. I am so thankful for all He has done for me, continues to change in me, teaches me daily and......... He helps me to examine my heart, my motives and my life. You will see a lot of it come out on my blog in my poetry. Truly my Poetry is a window to my heart and soul. God has given me an affliction like Paul ( which keeps me humble and grateful for His mercy and love). He teaches me daily....... the patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon, though I have a long way to go, a lifetime of learning. Passions of my Life: First and foremost, I am passionate about learning, loving and following the Lord, no matter where it may be, what it may be and how it will come about. To leave my life in His hands and not take back control. The rest fall hand in hand, My Grandsons (2 for now), Family, Friends, writing and Life! There is so much all around us and it is a wonderful pleasure to see God's glory surrounding us everyday! My Surroundings: I lead a fairly simple life, and I like it that way. Living in the country, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is good for my soul. There are so many beautiful lakes within a short distance of me and the mountains surround us on all sides. It is inspiring and a wonderful view of God's glorious power and creation. Amen! Now, I don't know how to tag, so if you let me know, I have a few that I can tag. So, this isn't much but I thank you all for inviting me to share. God bless! Swtsoulsearcher

What a wonderful, peaceful story. I can almost imagine the setting by the way you describe your surroundings and your work. I can picture you cheerfully chatting with the travelers pass through and it brings you great joy I am sure. Ok, to tag someone. Look at the bottom of this post you will see a post number with brackets. Copy it with the brackets either by copy and paste mode or the good ol grab your pen and paper mode. Include the brackets and copy it just like you see it. Then place this link on four other persons most recent blog post inviting them to come and share. It's that simple. Thanks for participating. It makes acquaintances here on BC more personal I think. Please take the time to read what others have said about their lives on the blogs. It will bless you. (¯`•♥•´¯) ¤`•.♥.•´ ¤ (¯`•♥•´¯)

Ok, here goes...... Work...I do medical transcription for a local hospital. I've been doing this for about 9+ years now and I'm blessed to be able to work from home. It is a huge answer to a very long time spent in prayer. It has allowed me to be at home for my daughter and be involved in her school. I have great flexibility in my work hours. Currently I work 4:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. but I'm able to work pretty much whatever hours I want. It is a challenging position in that I'm always learning something new. It is never the same day twice. It has had me laughing until I'm crying at some of the silly things we do as humans as well as crying because my heart breaks for someone who is struggling with a severe illness. I've been in the medical field of some sort for about 17 years. Location..I have lived in Indiana all my life. We moved around a bit but have always stayed within the state. I just started traveling within the last couple years and I love seeing new places. I like the town I live in, but it would be nice for a bit of a change too. I tend to live the warm climates a little better. Snow is nice too but I don't want a lot of it. Relationship with God....I was raised in the Assembly of God churches. I've attended a few others during our moves as well. I had a strong example in my grandfather. He was a wonderful man that exemplified Christ probably the most to me as a child. I accepted Christ at a very early age and was filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit at church summer camp in Hartford City, IN when I was 10 years old. He has been my Guide, my Support and my Strength. My dad was an alcoholic so God became my dad in a lot of ways. As I became a teenager we stopped going to church and I had my rebellious moments like a lot of others I suppose. I can look back and see how He was always with me, protecting and loving me even when I didn't know it. I came back to Him at age 22 and He is everything to me. I'm pretty involved with my church. I sing in the choir at times. I've taught classes with for the youth girls and younger girls as well. I usually take a back-seat approach and help with organization, planning, setting up and tearing down, promoting events, etc. I love helping with missions and have organized several projects in that regard. My passions...Well my first passion would be Christ. I want to continue to learn and grow to be the person He has created me to be. I want to be an example of His love, forgiveness and mercy to all those around me. To do and go where ever He leads me. I love being a mom. Children are a precious gift from God, they are to be treasured. I pray that I can be the mom that she needs to me be always. I truly love music and I like to sing. I enjoy being outside, hanging out in the yard, going for walks, motorcycles, etc. I love taking pictures. Surroundings and inner thoughts...I guess I like things relaxed and casual but also fun! I'm pretty positive and try not to let things get me down. I like being with other people but also enjoy spending time alone too. I enjoy trying new things and being challenged. I'm almost always listening to music, probably about 12-16 hours a day I have music going. This is a really great idea and I'm glad to be able to share. I've been very blessed by many people here on BC and it is a great pleasure to get to know more of you.

Where I live: Sydney Australia Born and bred, although have lived in New Zealand (Taupo included) and in the U.K. I was brought up in pubs - my parents were publicans, that was an unusual life, apparently - to me it was normal having people drinking just downstairs. We also lived in the inner city areas of Sydney, where I've now moved back to - God has a very strange sense of humour..  Educated in Randwick, mainly - we moved a lot and I still do, barely lived anywhere longer than five years. I have one sister, a brother in law, three nieces and three grand nieces and one grand nephew (who are now growing up, which is scary, 'cause I think that means I'm getting older!!!!  )God in My Life: Been a christian for 28 years - can't imagine my life any other way now. I love my church and am involved in the leadership there,which is such a privilege. Jesus has been with me through so many things I can't even think where to start who how to tell... Nearly 20 years ago I broke my back, slipped over in the front yard on wet sandstone pavers after having a swim at the beach on Sunday morning, through a miracle, I didn't do worse to myself - only crushed one vertebrae, during that time of recovery I had to learn to rely on others and my friends that I lived with were amazing. God's provision was phenomenal... That's just one thing. His provision has and is always more than enough as He has promised. My Passions: Nearly ever since I got saved I've been on a journey about nutrition and health - a number of years ago the Holy Spirit challenged me about what I would DO about that - as I used to talk a lot about how we as christians should be the ones leading the way in this field - so I ended up studying to be a naturopath and working at it for a while, but it didn't quite happen has I had planned - and God said to me one day - who said you'd make money from this????? I was stunned and surprised by this, because I though I would. That is still my passion - I believe that God has provided us with everything that we need within nature for our health and well being - this is not to discredit doctors - please take me to the hospital if I break a leg!!! but we live in such a toxic world... anyway, don't get me started... Other Things: I've been on BC for around three years now - I joined because I really do want to find a husband - that is probably the only area in my life that seems to be lacking - YET GOD is the one who is my comfort and true lover of my soul. However, someone to talk to in the flesh would be really really nice and to have a hug sometimes would also be really really nice.... So now I need to go tag some people.... rockyg cassiusclay Tropical_Man pricelessjoy One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.

ok. i have been twice tagged, by ky and indy, so i am responding...but i am not going to tag anyone back. it seems a little like a chain letter to me. my passions in life are my guitar and god, and the two are inextricable entangled. i am from chicago, grew up here am still in chicago and probably will die here. where i want to be in the future? where i am now i suppose, if god would bless me with prolonging this wonderful place. in peace and in god. i wood like to see my current efforts for the kingdom expanded a lot. and me and rupert are going to be famous. i usually am funnier, but it is early and i worked late.

MY WORK: I retired from nursing. Being a nurse was my lifelong dream, from the time I was 4 years old. I finally accomplished it when I graduated nursing school and got my RN license at the age of 40 (it’s NEVER too late!). I loved it while it lasted, but I wouldn’t go back to it. Burn out is real! MY LOCATION: I was born in a tiny little town in Georgia, and was raised kind of all over the place. Georgia, Texas, twice in Germany, settled in Alabama at age 12, married, had my kids there, got divorced and moved to the Oregon at 24, where I stayed until February of this year; when I moved just to the other side of the mighty Columbia River, out to the woods in SW Washington state. I love it here so much that I think maybe I was really meant for the rural life. It’s just incredible out here. It’s beautiful! Pheasants fly, a couple of days ago, hummingbird hovered not 10 inches from my face; she was looking at me while I was looking at her. Frogs sing at night, thousands of birds sing in the morning; deer wander through the yards as if we weren’t even here, (the little spotted fawns are out in droves now!) bears do indeed…. ahem, well …you know!..in the woods; kittens romp on the front porch; we garden; lay in firewood; and play like children while we work. Plus my BFF is here…so it’s the best place ever! MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD: Honestly? I hated God until 12 years ago–(Sept 28, 1996 is my REAL birthday!) I was raised “playing church”, but didn’t come to know the real Jesus until then. These days, HE is my first love. Not that my walk is perfect–far from it, but oh, how I love him! And even better?? For some reason HE loves ME!! Isn’t that the most amazing thing EVER?!?!?!?!?!? EDUCATION AND WORK: HHmmm, I think I covered that already. . PASSIONS IN LIFE: My greatest passions, other than Jesus, are family and home. I practically live for my family (NO, my future mate, should God so bless me, will not come second to them. He will be first after God. He just isn’t here yet!) Creating a loving, comfortable home where my family (future mate) can feel peaceful and joyful is my passion. Note that I did not say pristine, museum-like rooms, that isn’t what I meant; although, I do like clean and orderly surroundings. I said comfortable, peaceful, and joyful. MY SURROUNDINGS and INNER THOUGHTS: I like to be surrounded by the ones I love; and like I said, I do prefer order, but I’m not fanatical. I’m pretty adaptable, other than that! I like to have music around me all the time. I either have it playing, or I’m humming or singing. It is an integral part of my personality, and part of my daily ongoing worship and praise. Should God bless me with a mate, he’s got to love music. He doesn’t have to serenade me or anything (hhmmmmm…….), but if my singing all the time drives him bats, he’s going to be miserable! LOL! Sorry, folks, there is a reason that my inner thoughts are inner thoughts. I share them with those I am very close to, but…… GBY!!!!!!

I was born in Southern New Mexico and was raised there until the 6th grade. My mother has always worked and my grandmother was my rock and I stayed with her a lot. My family then moved to Northern New Mexico (Four Corners Area) and I attended school there from 7th to 12th grade. Every summer I would take the bus to my grandmother’s and stay there for the summer. I loved it! Once a snuck a little puppy on the bus with me and took him all the way across the state on the bus without anyone knowing. My dad was a bad alcoholic and my mother divorced him after I caught him out with another woman one night when I had gone to a movie with my friends. I was in the 8th grade and my friends and I were waiting at a cafe for our parents to pick us up after a movie. While I was in 12th grade I met my husband and we were married the November following my High School Graduation. He was in the Marines at that time and was immediately sent to Vietnam after we married. He was in Vietnam the first year of our marriage. When he returned we moved to Colorado and lived in Colorado. We had our first child three years later; then our second child three years later; then divorced three years later. I went to college for one year at Ft. Lewis College in Durango, Colorado and then attended a college in the town which I reside now.After my divorce I was very ill off and on for about 10 years and was in and out of hospitals. I began working at a coal-fired power plant as a Secretary and retired from there 21 years later. For about the past 7 years I have been pursuing my interest in art. In 1995 I purchased my own home and landscaped it myself. I really enjoy my yard. At this time I have a Whiskey Barrel Vegetable garden on my patio. I am growing Summer Squash, Zuchinni, Tomatoes, and Cucumbers (and something else that I don’t know what they are but they look like they could be pumpkins; except that I did not plant pumpkins - go figure!). I have 3 dogs and enjoy taking them to the dog park nearby. I taught myself how to play the organ (I took piano lessons when I was young, also flute). I LOVED playing old gospel music (which I LOVE!) This music reminds me of the music that was played when I attended church with my beloved grandmother. I have two children; my son, his wife and 4 children live in Oregon and my daughter, her husband, and 2 children live in Alaska. I have been to Alaska twice now and am going again this fall. My grandchildren range from 17 years down to 3 years, and they are ALL precious and adorable! My son-in-law works at the North Slope and my daughter has just been hired as a Nursing Instructor at a college near her home. +D% My family did not go to church much as I grew up but when they did it was the Church of Christ. My grandmother was also CoC and I always attended church with her. In 1983 I was baptized in the Southern Baptist Church. However, I have also attended several different churches since then. Jesus is the love of my life. I AM A SINNER SAVE BY GRACE! This is pretty much my life in a nutshell and I apologize for not using the format. Also, I apologize for selecting people that might already have been selected but I cannot sit long enough to see who all has been selected. I have 4 rods in my lower back and tailbone and it is too painful for me to sit for very long. Love you guys and I am very grateful to have met you all, get to know you and love you. Thank you for letting me blog with you! May God Bless You in ABUNDANCE

I lived in Taupo way back in the '70s (unsaved) lived and worked at DeBrets, for a summer and then hitch hiked around the north island before I went to the south island. It was really beautiful, but I've never been back since then. One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4

One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4

*tips hat* OK, so I have been tagged twice, thought maybe I would wait for another Tagging (as I really don't enjoy typing that much) but here goes. My Work :I started out as most young folks do, I was a busboy, a dishwasher and a line cook. Right before I turned 20 my father sat my brother and I down and asked us "What do you boys want to do for a living, you want to drive truck cross country, or be a land surveyor ?", I kinda like the idea of driving cross country, but my brother was newly married at the time and didn't want to be away from his wife, so we opted to be land surveyors. We joined the union, went to school 2 times a week (at night, and worked during the day) for 4 years. About 20 years ago I was asked to teach trig for the union, I did that for 10 years (I really enjoyed seeing the light bulb go on), This is my 30th year as a surveyor and my claim to fame is that I was involved with the building of Fantasmic at disneyland in 90' and 91'. My Location :I tell folks that I am half way in between Insane Diego and Hollywierd. We moved to Lake Elsinore back in 68', there were 2400 folks here then (there's 39,000 now), I have lived here all my life except for a year in Vegas (I turn 18 there). I always said that I wouldn't be here all my life, but one thing I can say about Elsinore is, when I leave here to go anywhere, it is always better than where I came from. My Relationship with My Lord : My folks took me to church through my younger years, but being the wicked sinner that I am, I did what was right in my own eyes for most of my years, I 91' the Lord called me, I heard, I read the Bible, but I still walked my own path. New years eve of 06' I got caught up with a drug that I had sworn off 6 years prior, jumped on my harley and rode to vegas at about 110 mph, partied all night. When I got home, I flushed the drugs, grabbed my Bible, and dropped to my knees, and begged the Lord to take me back (little did I know at the time, he had never left my side ). The Lord took this wicked sinner and transformed me into his diakonos, blessed me with an ushers position in his house, and sent me off to the school of ministry. I find that if I am not (everyday) feeding the spirit, I will end up feeding the flesh. I still fall from time to time, but those times get fewer and father in between. *steps down from his soap box* Education : Already went over that. My Goals :To grow in the knowledge and image of my Lord Christ Jesus. To one day hear those six words from my Lord "Well done good and faithful servant" My surroundings and inner thoughts :Sitting at my computer, iced tea to my right, a calendar of short prayers in front of me. Inner thoughts, God is waiting for that last person to come to him, then he will send his son back for us. I pray that one of you is witnessing to that last person right now. Lord will I be seeing you today ? May God Bless each and everyone of you. diakonos of Christ Jesus Michael
