Janice... :)

We have to loose our shirts first!... :D ;D

Sorin:
LOL! 

gmik:
Funny ;D

Now, I don't get the lose/loose joke??

Which is it lose-something gets lost; or loose-something baggy or ill fitting.

I know, teacher should be on vacation!!

Deborah-Leigh:
Sorry Gena

Perhaps you do not have an equivalent in the USA for the meaning of this saying to loose your shirt....It means to loose your physical possessions....your assets of material wealth...

What I was inferring is that we have to move out of our physical dependencies to our Spiritual Father who supplies all our needs.

Hope that clears this up. No offence meant! I see the tent to equate to our body that houses our soul and spirit...So the order of this would be to hope we loose our attatchments to carnality BEFORE we loose our Tents...bodies in the first death!! :D ie...Hoping for the first Resurrection to Life!... :D

Peace to you sister

Arcturus :)

Hi Arcturus,

We are very familiar with that expression here in the States, especially after visiting Las Vagas, Atlantic City, numerous Indian Reservations with Casinos, Horse Race Tracks, etc. As a matter of fact I can safely say this old saying gets repeated thousands of times a day over here!  ;)
