    Choir members unite!

    Our church has an on-and-off choir. We're such a small church that sometimes our choir is actually more of a barbershop quartet! LOL This last Easter we decided on an all-women's choir. We also have a worship team, and I've been known to come up with harmonies or descants on the spot. I...

    Awana

    Sorry for coming in late. My two daughters have been involved with AWANA since they were three, in Cubbies. Now my oldest is in her 2nd year of TnT, and my youngest is in her final Sparkie year. All through Sparks both girls have finished their books, reviews, and extra book (the leaders...

    Going To Church - Important? Not?

    Wow! Me, too, only it happened to me back in 1998! My husband and I were on a "Great Church Search" (after our previous church had completely blown us off when we needed help & prayer) and, the very first time I stepped foot in this one, I felt like I was home. They announced New Members...

    Date Nights and Other Amazing Things About Being Married

    My husband and I have been married for 27 years, and have 2 children, ages 9 and 7. Some things we do: We make it a point to just sit and chat. It can be about our day, about something we read or watched, something God puts on our hearts, just joking, anything, a little every day. When the...

    What do you play?

    This may sound lame, but along with singing, I play tambourine. Our new music minister discovered this and lets me play with the Worship Team without rehearsing with them. I always seem to know exactly what to play (and when NOT to). The oddest compliment I ever received was from an older...

    Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks...Satanic

    Apropos to absolutely nothing... Fleetwood Mac has been my favorite group for time beyond time. I'm talking all the way from Peter Green & Jeremy Spencer, through Danny Kirwan, Bob Welch, Buckingham/Nicks, Billy Burnette & Rick Vito, Dave Mason & Bekka Bramlett, right through the current...

    10 year wedding Anniversary coming up

    We renewed our vows for our 25th anniversary. We were married by a JP in my husband's father's apartment originally, but it was every bit a ceremony. I didn't wear a wedding dress per se, but I wore a white handkerchief-cut dress with purple flowers on it, an antique shawl, and a derby hat with...

    how did you meet

    July 1982: I was 17 and had just graduated from high school. A friend of mine told me about a friend of his who was coming out from California, where he had lived for about 3 years. My friend wanted to introduce us. I said OK, but we would have to figure out a good time as, for the first time in...

    Motivation for having kids

    When my husband and I married in 1985, we knew that we wanted children. I became pregnant in 1986, but miscarried. We put the situation in God's hands and waited... ...and waited... ...and waited... until God gave us our first daughter in 2002...then another daughter in 2005! Even...

    Adultery

    I'm guessing...but could that have been a typo? Maybe they meant NO repentance leads to death, but had a brain-freeze?

    Do you still get touched by kid's movies/novel?

    I was almost 40 before I had my first child. In all that time, I frequently re- (re-re-re-...)read my copies of the "Little House" books. I also have my original copies of "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory", "Charlie & the Great Glass Elevator", "Hubert's Hair-Raising Adventure", "Light a...

    Dying your hair?

    Personally, for reasons I, myself, don't quite understand, I don't care for the concept of hair coloring. When people ask me why I don't "touch up the grey", I bring up Proverbs 16:31: Of course, that has nothing to do with strange or funky colors. There IS a verse about worrying more about...

    parents respect children?

    Just off the top of my head, I remembered this one: I actually made sure that my daughters knew this verse. There may be more in Proverbs...but that'll take a little research on my part.
