Title: Finish this Sentance.....Once I...

Once I.... let the air out the bicycle tires of a bully in 6th grade.  I laughed when we passed him on the school bus pushing his bike home (about 6 miles)

But I sensed How powerful He was, the Dark Side I sensed in Him, but much to learn, He still does, so I called upon My Friend Yoda.

Once I... believed that I would be tortured in hell for eternity .. that not all would be saved... that the trinity was true ... that I was supposed to tithe .. that I had a free will ... that the beast was the beast and not me...

Once I...made and tested an alcohol-fueled, aluminum can and duct-tape tennis-ball gun in college.  I was fined and written up for 'firing a cannon in the men's dorm'.

Once I...was playing 'follow the leader' (about 8 years old) when I suppose I should have been doing something else.  I tried to stand on my head, fell and broke my collar-bone.  Then I went home and made up a lie about being attacked by a bully.  That lie lasted about 45 years.

Once I...shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.  (John Cash)

Once I...told myself I would never confess my sins on the forum.  Be careful what you tell yourself.

Once I.....broke my collarbone when I went over the handle of my bicycle while racing my 6 year old son.   I guess karma finally caught up with me.

Once... and I mean only once, when I was in the 9th grade, I forgot the shorts to my basketball uniform for an away game and had to wear a pair of the other teams girls shorts.  Understandably I didn't play very good that night, but for the first time in my young life, I felt truly liberated.

Once I...helped my wife can hot banana peppers.  It was my job to turn over the split peppers in brine every half hour. In retrospect I should have washed my hands with soap and water before I went in to pee instead of after.

Once I believed that most of the world (including myself) would die and never come back. That the resurrection was for a certain religious organization that was Gods one and only giver of truth and since I could never measure up to their standards, once I believed that life was worthless and the extreme hardships I experienced were further proof that I was "of the world" "worldly"  and I wondered why God would do such a thing.

BUT NOT TODAY!  ;D
Now I see truth as it is beautiful and mysterious and great. Full of love and simple in a way but I will spend the rest of my life never fully understanding it. The yoke is off my back and I am free. Sometimes I forget how lucky and blessed I am.


also once when I was 8 or 9 I jumped off my roof with a sheet over my head because I though that would be a parachute  :)

Once when I was just two years old my Mother threw me down concrete steps trying to kill. Have been deaf in my left ear ever since. I only found out two years ago when my sister told me just before she died of a heart attack. I wondered why God wanted me to know that at the age of 54. Then I thought about my then situation which was not good many battles with the evil one, God then showed me that not only had he protected me then that he would protect me always and that he was with at all times.

He is such a loving God nothing happens without his approval.

God bless
Roland.

Ok, once i was told to draw a yard on a math paper in 4th grade and couldn't figure out how to draw 36 in. on notebook paper so i drew a backyard with pretty trees (never could leave anything void) The teacher told everyone what a certain person did, thank God she didn't mention names. To this day i can't figure out what she wanted. Three 12 in. lines??? Six 6 in. lines??

Funny how people can look at the same thing but see it completely opposite grapehound.

After rolling "ShihTzu" around in my head a few times, I had to modify my post.

Once I.....thought a ShihTzu was only a dog, I had one once, very pretty doggy but, today Im pretty sure a "ShihTzu" has lots and lots of animals  ;D

That one's wicked, Stacey: "Im pretty sure a "ShihTzu" has lots and lots of animals."
You cracked me up.
I sure would not want to be working there as the clean up man.

Hi Janine

Mutual appreciation  is often jeered at, slandered, protested, made to look cynical, dirty, suspicious even lewd, yet it is NOT. Mutual appreciation is not familiarity that breeds contempt. I believe that mutual appreciation is a circle of life...God’s Life.

I enjoyed your lovely expression of appreciation of thanking God for us and the boldness of your open proclamation that you love us. God IS Love and you’re right there in HIM! ....in Love.

Blessings dearest sister

Right back at you Janine!  :)  What a beautiful and encouraging post.  Thank you for displaying so many wonderful fruits of the spirit that you so freely share with us.  You remind me how honored we are to be a part of this family.  Thank you Janine.

Love in Christ,

once I .......was proud and had a very strong character, thought I knew what was right for everybody in my family... Now I'm more silent, observant, ever learning and appreciating all the jewels of wisdom from BT and this forum.

Janine, that was a lovely post, I feel the same way as well, only I am not so elequent at expressing my feelings and sentiments.(wish I was)!!!

Blessings to all.

Hey Janine

I was AWOL when you posted that profoundly beautiful clarion.
I love this site for this reason.  The sheer nakedness of self that is expressed on these pages.  
BT Forum is for me the spiritual reality of the scriptural 'Strongholds of Engedi'.
A provision of shelter for the gaining of strength.  As you say Janine, a safe harbour.
A level field, like Engedi's plains.

It's like a beautifully cut diamond, slowly turning in the darkness  of space, with a single Light piercing it's heart and drawing a perfect, sparkling spectrum from every inner facet.
To be cut into the brilliance of such a work is humbling and thrilling at the same time.

I give thanks, along with y'all, for the work of our Marvelous Placer.

Monologue from the one act play, "The Apple Tree":

Now must we hymn, the Master of Heaven,
The might of the Maker. The deeds of the Father.
The thoughts of His heart. He, Lord Everlasting
established the sun; the source of all wonder.

Creator, all Holy, He hung the high Heaven.
A roof, right upreared o'er the children of men.
The King of Mankind then created for mortals,
the World in it's beauty, the Earth spread beneath them.

Green grew the grass there; dew, dappled with daisies.
Towered the tall trees, bearing bright blossom.
Lovely and Living, the life giving Light came,
from Love Everlasting, the Spirit; the Lord!

Caedmon
The father of English poetry
