Forgive my manners:)

[psalmsinger]

Hi Y'all,

I am slightly new here but have not introduced myself at all.  That is just not good southern manners is it?    Please forgive my manners while I'm trying to find out who I am and who God wants me to be. Sometimes the road is not easy to follow.  I have been down a few bumpy roads and in one of my pitstops back in the spring, I found the truth of Ray's teachings from God.

The Lord has blessed me graciously with a husband who is a believer, 3 children, 1 grand-daughter and a large extended close-knit family.  In this setting, what makes me "strange" is the church path that I have been on most of my life. I was raised Baptist and my husband was raised Methodist in the rural section of Virginia.   I disagreed with traditions of rapture and hell at an early age and have followed the leadings of what my family terms "cults" in my quest to find the truth.  I am thankful for every step that the Lord has prepared for me, especially the one that led me to His Truth that the Lord is my Savior and the Savior of the whole world.  What great news and well documented!

   Welcome Barbara,

  Glad to have you here.  I hope to see you around for years to come.  Thanks for the introduction.  For some reason I have this mental picture of Virginia being one of the most beautiful states in the U.S.  That and Oregon.  I've been to Oregon and maybe someday I will get to Virginia.  Have a good day.

With love
Scott

Hi Barbara and Welcome! Looking forward to fellowshipping!

[Beloved]

Hi Y'All  I really love your name tag Pslamsinger, Barbara.  I myself sing like a toad in the physical but in my head I sing all kinds of songs of praise to God.

Welcome to this fellowship. Since we are new creatures , using the "SpiritNet to communicate and fellowship doesn't seem too weird to me now. I especially like the occasional outbreaks of praise that use to pop up in the past, members would post praise scriptures in batches. I need to go find some of  those posts and cut and paste them for offline uplifters.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

(Psa 150:1 CLV)  Praise Yah. Praise Godl in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His powerful atmosphere.

(Psa 150:2 CLV)  Praise Him in accord with His masterful deeds; Praise Him according to His vast greatness.

(Psa 150:3 CLV)  Praise Him with the blowing of a trumpet; Praise Him with zither and harp.

(Psa 150:4 CLV)  Praise Him with tambourine and in chorus; Praise Him with lute and shepherd's pipe.
(Psa 150:5 CLV)  Praise Him with resounding cymbals; Praise Him with shouting cymbals.

(Psa 150:6 CLV)  May all that has breath praise Yah. Praise God.

It sounds like God has blessed you with a wonderful family and has been leading you to seek Truth.
Look forward to your posts.

Beloved

Hi Barbera,

There was a tv show about the Waltons back in the 70's, I think it was in Virginia...was that YOU...

I spent my honeymoon in Chantilley, Virginia...there and D.C., but I also drove around quite a bit. It is beautiful there.

Welcome and may God bless you in your walk.

Love,
Chuck

Thank you Scott,  All of God's country is beautiful, I especially like the trees that surround me

[psalmsinger]

Thank you for the welcome Gena.

Beloved,  I did a study once on praise and found that the croaking of a frog is part of making a joyful noise unto the Lord.  The sound that comes from a thankful heart is the one from the spirit anyway:) I hear you and it's beautiful.  Your praise reaches to heaven for it is Truth.  Could I be in the smiley choir??

Layla,

There is nothing else to acknowledge but the blessings of the Lord.  What I have done with my life is not worth mentioning so the only things that matter are His blessings.  Thank you for the welcome.  Barbara

Hi Chuck,
I might have known someone would remember.  The Waltons on TV was from a fictional family in Stanton or thereabouts.  Not us, though there are a lot of similarities.  Watched every show.
Goodnight, John Boy

Hey Bobby,
I think it was Beloved who started the smiley choir and I think it's the best thing going.  Maybe the best choir I've ever been in. I'm the one with the big mouth
