Warm greetings from the entire Living Whole Community! We are so glad that you have found our little corner of the Internet. It has become home for many of us. We hope you also will soon find this to be a safe place to come to. Our community is a place where we offer encouragement to others who, like us, desire to LIVE WHOLE and holistically in spite of chronic pain and illness. We are a network of friends that are on a common journey in life. We are people who will really "get you”. We will sincerely listen to you and then we will share our own stories all the while healing with you. We can inspire you, pray with you, and hope for you! Welcome Home!

SOME CHATROOM EDIQUETTE

Have something you want to say? WE WANT TO HEAR IT! All of it! The best way to have the floor while you finish your complete thought is to place dot, dot, dot .... at the end of each sentence and enter. When you are finished saying what you need to say complete your sentence by putting a . (period)

PLEASE REMEMBER that because we can not hear one another's voice inflection, things can be misunderstood in chat REAL EASILY. DEBATE about DENOMINATIONAL DIFFERENCES, POLITICAL DIFFERENCES, OTHER RELIGIONS and the such should probably be held on another chat site. Our purpose at LW is to help each other LIVE WHOLE IN CHRIST and in life!!
