> Introductions, Announcements, and More of Ray's Teachings
Here I am, on a rainy day in Oregon!
DuluthGA:
Hello fellow crocheting sister! ;D
I make all my dad's blankets. TEE HEE! Love to shop yarn. Anyway...
Linda what the heck are you doing to rectify your not being able to use all our buttons and knobs? Have somebody in your family help you go over the instructions we have posted for you. Or when you have time to set aside for these tasks read and try to follow them and if you get stuck, PM me back and I will help you further, no prob. I have PMd you twice and have gotten no response from you. This is a function that allows us to personally email each other without forum view. Look at the top of the screen between HOME HELP SEARCH PROFILE MY MESSAGES CALENDAR MEMBERS LOGOUT..... click on MY MESSAGES!!!!!!! Play around with it when you have time and you will be rewarded by the fruits of your labors. You will not break anything... so work 'em out! ;) [Sorry I don't know what you mean by BBCs (?)] ???
Linda v v happy 40th anniversary to you and your loving husband and God bless your wonderful family!
How familiar I am with the words 'lonliness' and 'lonliness in a crowd' as well as 'misfit.' Linda, if there were a room filled with misfits, I would not fit in. HA!
I too enjoy the interchange between science and spirituality, especially enjoying the developments over the past twenty years or so of biblical archeology. In fact, Ray has recently commented on such in an email this August: http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,5174.0.html
I know and realize that a lot that comes off of the History Channel, etc., is c.r.a.p., but I record them all and either refute them or keep them to be passed on... and occasionally there is the good one as you and your husband have discovered... actually, there are several good ones. The absolute BEST documentary on the O.T. scriptures, especially regarding the crossing of the "Red sea" and so much more is titled EXODUS DECODED. It is two hours long and worth going to the History Channel's online store and buying it outright... ka-pow from a scientific outlook, that's all I can say. V interesting for the winter months if y'all get bored. ;) Or record it when it is surely to come 'round again.
Here is link: http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=76731 The twenty bucks is well worth it for family viewing.
Anyway, thanks also for the reference of Capra, will definitely check it out eventually as it has been given to me to be interested in sub-atomic/particle physics. So cool! 8) How to try to kiss God... let me count the ways.... Ho ho!! :P :o :-* :D
Thanks also for sharing your church history... oh well and triple ha... the less church the better. ;D Me too.... haven't been in one in over 22 years..... wink wink nudge nudge. All His doing I'm sure.
So overall, Linda, we are not to worry about not fitting in -- in a church way --or not fitting in socially -- in a worldly way -- but I realize it's hard not to sweat this out... He has geared us as social creatures, so why the extra difficulties in this regard I don't know. I mean, it's bad enough to suffer.... but to add on suffering the social isolation. ??? Part of His process I guess. I do know that He will comfort us and not let anything get too great for us to bear and I long for the day when we will no longer be isolated, each from the other, indeed. We cannot comprehend it now, but we will all be one. Amen. :P
And special thanks for your v personal comments about your mum and dad and what they went through. TA v v moooocho!! You hit a lot of nails on the head...
25/8... love it! Am there!
... and an extremely physically strong and essentially healthy bedridden "youngster." Got one! Am there!
So glad you've got good support immediately around you plus friends especially those two special ones that've kept linked to you. Praise God!
I must say also, thank you for your recognition that Alzheimer's does sometimes go WAY WRONG in that those afflicted with it, whose minds eventually MELT.... will sometimes get "combative." God bless you for saying that. My dad is alright in this regard, but my husband, the sweet, genteel southern gentleman he was, got not combative, but VIOLENT, and I did not include this into my 'Caregiver shares all' thread because it simply was too much. In the end, he too had to be facilitized, and to this day I lament the innocents he brutalized without realizing he had done any thing wrong whatsoever. Tearfully I explain to people that he was the most wonderful man in the world..... and I live with the memories.
Take good care in Christ! :)
Thank you thank you Linda!

LittleBear:
Ah, you two!
Linda, you got one smilie going there, so I'm sure we will be seeing more of them from you soon! YAY! Something is working!
And I'm also wondering what is a BBC. The only BBC I know is a Bacardi, Banana and Pina Colada drink.
Janice and Linda, the two of you sound so outgoing, that I would never have thought that you would be misfits in the church or anywhere. You both sound like the type of people who naturally gather people to yourselves and bless them tremendously. I was always so quiet and just stood back, and like you didn't feel that closeness and heart-fellowship that I craved. Everyone seemed too busy and so into their own adgendas. Thanks for sharing that. Like you say Janice, it's all part of His process.
Scribbles, thanks for giving us your name Linda...I want to know about those cute kitties too!

DuluthGA:
Hi Linda,
I just thought of something... maybe you don't realize that your 'Help please' post got moved by Craig, a forum moderator, to the Off Topics section. It is there that some of us have given you posts of helpful instructions about the smileys, etc. Hope you have found it!
With lovies, :)
Janice
Grateful:
Janice, a quick reply, and then I'm buttoning up for today : YESSSS, I FINALLY found all the Personal Messages I've received, thanks to your prompting! Rah!! Maybe NOW I'll get SOMEwhere SOON!! It'll have to wait til tomorrow, though. You've heard of the "Bell Curve" (the learning curve) ?? Well, I'm still on the left side of the bell, at the very bottom edge of it!! Haha! Hopefully I'll get to the right side of the bell's edge and start it RINGINGGGG!! AH HAHAHAHA!! ;-> !!
G'night!
Linda
DuluthGA:
