Marques
Dave, thank-you for boarding the mod boat and I wish you smooth sailing. :)
Mark
Yaaay!! Dave!! I just noticed!! We're so lucky!! (I think) ;) you know I love ya! :D
Kathy ;)
Hey Dave, I wanted to elaborate on some concerns I've had regarding certain posts. It appears that some post with a spirit of sarcasm and moderators allow them to remain. I have seen some posts containing sexual innuendos and wise cracks about gross bodily functions. As a moderator, are you going to stand for this? I've always felt that forum members should post with discretion as not to offend women and to protect the innocence of children. This forum has an international reading audience and many are just learning the basics of the English language. What a crime it would be if some of the first words they learn are butt crack, dung dispenser or Nick Saban. And someone was making wise cracks about . .. .Jimmy Johnson? I think?? Anyhow, I'm gonna go pick some flowers and watch Full House. We must protect the dignity of our spiritual house.

LOL :D :D
Musicman, you are too much. :)
Marques
Congratulations Dave !
Occasionally one doesn't know whether or not Musicman is being serious. Being of a too serious nature(myself), I have to be carefull not to be taken off guard, thankfully, Marques Posted prior to me. Your too much Music.
Dave, may God's Spirit direct your efforts in your new responsibility.
Kind Regards, Samson.
Thanks, all. I hope I don't let you down.
Musicman, aren't you a teacher? You can't expect me to believe you actually buy into that 'innocence of childhood' idea! What children are, is 'ignorant'. And for thier own good, they ought to be kept ignorant for as long as possible. To that end, expect me to moderate in line with your expressed concerns. ;)
Congratulations Dave.
I'm sure you won't let us down.
Musicman, est-ce que tu m'explique lesquels sont "butt crack, dung dispenser, et Nick Saban", s'il te plait?
Geoff
Musicman, aren't YOU the one who posts most of that controversial stuff?? hahaha!! How did you get out of your cage anyway?? You can't be left alone for a minute!! you make me laugh even when I should be crying and begging God to save you from yourself!! :D :D :D You have got to be the source of most of the nervous laughter on this forum!! :o :P :-*

Hello Dave
I am very happy to see you as a New Moderator. I have enjoyed reading some of your more recent posts which I have had to do as I have had to catch up with things due to having been cut off from the Forum and BT for the last several months.
Last week I recieved a new Lap Top with a wireless connection to the Internet that allows me to now come on line via my Cell Phone. I am thrilled with this opportunity to link up again to a stream of Godly wisdom that flows through the BT teachings we have here that presents not only a rich bouquet to the delight of our spiritual senses but a nutritional requirement for our spiritual growth.
2 Cor 9 :8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Arc
Congratulations Dave.............and the forum as well.
Gary
Great news Dave. I know you are going to make a great mod. You are so intuitive and have great spiritual understanding.
And Samson, as general rule, assume everything musicman says is in jest unless proven otherwise. :D

Thanks again, all. Your comments are very encouraging.
I wasn't one of those who though I would make a good moderator. You've about got me convinced this may turn out OK, however. :D
Congrats Dave, you'll make a great mod. :)

Warm regards, Bob
Dave, I think we will be very blessed to have you as a moderator.
In His Love,
Marlene
Congratulations, Dave!
Grats, Dave!! :D
Dave,
Thank you for taking on the great responsibilities that a Moderator has. Also, how wonderful to here from Arc and know that she has her new toy. Her input is something I always look forward to.
In HIM,
Phil3:10
Thank you Phil3:10 for your kind acknowledgement. I can honestly say that your sentiments are also of value to me.
It is such a joy to be on line again! I see that there is so much that has improved in the Forum since I was set aside for the months where I could not make contact. This of course was Gods Plan. He caused me to ask Him for a Lap Top so I did. Then He said in my heart to give Him my motive for getting a Lap Top. He showed me that the Lap Top is an instrument to STUDY His Word. I had begun to look for cheep models in the second hand Junk Mail that we have here in South Africa. After I was caused to ask God for such a little thing for Him to give me such as a Lap Top, I received the feeling that I would have a Lap Top and would be working on the internet from my Shop WITHOUT the Phone lines that connect us to the Internet. I was clueless as to how this could be but HEY, here I am, on BLUE TOOTH via my husbands cell phone writing to YOU! God is so great. He also said He would bless me through my husband. It was my husband who found this Lap Top that is not only top of the range, it was newly unpacked on special for a few days when he found it for me!
From your friend, that little bit of salt God has placed in South Africa!
Deb
Deb,
God blesses us and works things out when we can see no solutions on our own! \o/ like giving us Dave as a mod..who knew we would be so blessed?!! :D
Kathy ;)
ditto Kathy! :)
Dave, I like your posts.
I have thought more than once it would be great to have you living in Roanoke so you could meet with biblestudy buddy and me on Friday afternoons.
Just one state away.

Hi Dave,
Are you sure you're ready to put up with me, my questions, my attitude, my problems, my fears...... cuz I have alotovem? Ok... ok ....you're not God, just a moderator ;D :D Congrats Dave! Looking forward to learning and growing from the wisdom God has given you.
May God Strengthen You,
Charles
Hey Dave, I have to get back to coming on here more often. Happy to hear you are going to be a moderator.
And MUSICMAN, You gotta' be kidding!!!!
Arcturus, I always love hearing from you, glad you are back in good form.
Love, Judy
One last belated thanks for the additional encouragement. Also want to say that my bout with the flu is over. It really, really kicked my butt, but I'm about 80% back to my usual normal sub-normal and trying to catch up a bit here.
Well Dave I'm glad to see you getting back to your subnormal self again!! ;D
Kathy ;)

I want to post one more time here just to embarrass Charles, because it's fun.
The Nashville conference in '08 occurred just a scant few months after I'd had my whole life turned upside-down by the Gospel of the Kingdom and finally having a God again who loved me and could actually do something about it. I spent about half the time there basking in the fellowship, and the other half feeling like some sort of grubby old reprobate...like a stink bug on the butterfly trees in Mexico...like Aqualung at a prayer meeting...wondering 'what the (blank) am I doing here?'.
Then Charles, during one of the breaks, came by and introduced himself. And I looked at him, and thought he had the kindest and wisest face I had ever seen on a human being. Nobody has topped it since, either.
At the time, I was beyond happy enough just to believe I was finally gonna get things set to right at the LOF judgement instead of squeaking into heaven on a technicality and living forever with people I didn't like. I'd already decided it would be OK if Ray judged me. But when I met Charles, as brief as the encounter was, I remember thinking. "Alright, you look like somebody I wouldn't mind making everything OK with me."
Charles, I've learned just a little since then, but that would still be OK with me if our Lord says so. And I hope that one day my natural life will be in such a state that I can make that drive over the mountains to Roanoke. I've been there and near there a bunch of times for my old job. I'd much rather meet with you and Bible Study Buddy on a Friday afternoon. Thanks for thinking of me.
Welcome Dave.
Thank you for your service.
Sweet, Dave, glad to have you moderating. You seem to possess a lot of wisdom and so with that...Good luck!
