Hi Nancy Sweetie, I have been thinking about you so much lately! I have only just had a day's rest from what has been nearly a month long flare. I have not even be able to lift my head off my pillow comfortably, nor type, so I have not been able ...

Amen. I have only just lately seen this side of pain and dysfunction too. Isn't it amazing, how He takes the worst of our experiences and creates a loving learning experience for us all. I am one of the few here that are pretty much bedridden; I c...

Thank you for your note on my Blog. Please I so would love for you to start the discussion you mentioned. I think it would be a great one and from there it will be easier for others to enter in - on a blog others only will see comments if they write on it - you can't reply to others comments (hence me writing you here about it) - does that make sense? So....STOP JUST SITTING THERE THINKING ABOUT STARTING A DISCUSSION AND JUST DO IT! ~giggle~ =)

Your comment on the blog was really thoughtful and deep. Looking forward to further discussion about it!

With Christ's Grace!
Kimberly

P,S, From what you described - you have a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with our Lord, Jesus Christ. But, it isn't unusual for us to question that relationship during the times where He seemingly isn't TALKING. He IS though, Cali. And He is talking to you. Sometimes in the silences He is speaking the loudest. Ohhh ~ I have so much I want to say about this, PLEASE would you start the discussion and lets talk about it there where others can see it and join in.

But....I'm somewhat confused here.....!
On your message to me you signed it 'LORI'...?? Is your name Lori? Is Cali a petname / nickname??
Am I being silly / dozy??
Thinking of you anyhow.....Linda x

At 2:12pm on October 13, 2009, LINDA SLOAN said…: Have just seen your little status comment Cali - and thank YOU so much for having us all in your prayers. We really haven't seen so much of you around here recently - I kinda see so little of everyone, being as I am 6-7 hours behind all of you - folks here are coming alive when I've just gone to bed! I'm just now realising that Canada and US have different Thanksgiving dates - I had assumed they were the same. Anyhow, do hope you felt well enough to enjoy yourself some....do you have family get-togethers / celebrations etc?

Thinking of you Cali and hoping today is a good day for you in the Lord.
Love, Linda

At 6:49am on October 13, 2009, Valerie Ferrell said…: Hey You!
Sure glad to see you! You have been in my thots and prayers. Was afraid you were not able to get back in here! Hope all is well with you. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Hugs and Love.

At 6:21pm on October 12, 2009, Joy said…: Hope is more than just a word—
it’s a state of being.
It’s a firm belief that
even if you don’t know how,
even if you don’t know when,
God will come through
and better days are ahead.

Life sends rain...
Hope dances in the puddles
until the sun comes out again.
—Holley Gerth

Praying and believing with you as you have with me.
Love you and thinking about you tonight. - Joy

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. HEBREWS 11:1 NIV

Helloooo...? Hello? Anyone out there?

While my chronic illness and disability have been, strangely, good for me, and my soul, it has been horrible for maintaining friendships. Isolation seems to be a common complaint for people suffering from these challenges. When isolation and loneliness hang around for too long, though, depression is the natural outcome.

That's why it is so healing and wonderful to be a friend among many friends here at LW. But while my cyber friends are absolutely loved the same way as my '3d' friends, sometime… Continue

Lesson from my prodigal cat.....

It seems to me, every now and again, that God allows me glimpses into His soul, revealing images that drive home His messages of extravagant love for me.

Most recently, I think that He knew that I really, really needed a laugh. Floundering under the weight of tribulations, I truly believe that He heard my cry and wanted to make me grin. How? By providing me with my own version of "the Prodigal son"; "The Prodigal Cat."

I have never been much of a cat person. I had one growing up, "Calico," who… Continue

does anyone have a link?

Hi everyone

I was surfing the net tonight and came across a site with Jesuit ministry. (They have daily devotions etc).

Someone had posed the question, "What is the difference between Catholic and Protestant bibles?" I didn't know there was any difference. Apparently the Catholic bible has 7 more books than the protestant bible, with enhanced sections for the Book of Esther.

Does anyone have a link to the text of these books? I understand that they are called the 'deuterocanonical' boo… Continue

LEARNING TO ABIDE IN HIM

John 15:4-5 “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart [...]

DISTRACTED by Chronic Pain

1 Corinthians 1 Paul refers to Jesus Christ nine times in the first nine verses. We are correctly focused when we can say from the depths of our being, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21, ESV), and that our determined purpose in life is “that I may [...]
