Hey, good idea, Eldaah. I will join!
Well, my busy work schedule was derailed by a very sick (to his stomach) little boy.He thinks he probably ate too much Easter candy yesterday.
oops
There was a show on CNN last night called; "What Would Jesus Really Do?". It was on CNN!I TIVO-ed it and hope to watch it today now that I'm home unexpectedly.

Ooh, that's no fun.
Really? I wonder if it was any good.
I have been struggling to do what Jesus would do. It is never easy. I've been feeling more and more convicted recently about witnessing to the lost and how I use my time. I'm not really doing anything to tell others about Jesus, and I usually waste time during the day. I hardly do anything worth-while and I'm sick of it! I want to be like Him. I don't want to just live a normal life doing nothing to save those who are doomed to Hell for eternity! I want to serve my Lord. But what can I do? I know I can talk to people about Christ, but who? I am 16 years old (and I don't have a drivers license). There's not really anywhere where I can talk to people about Christ. I realize that there have been a few opportunities in the past that I haven't taken, but I just don't know what I can do. If any of you have any advice, I'd be glad to hear it.
Awesome, and how true that is, we can't do what He'd do if we don't know Him well.i learned something important about JESUS last night: In John 13:31-18:1 JESUS presents HIS teachings concisely. I am going to be blogging on these teachings both here and at my main blogsite
http://lonnienord.blogspot.com
So why is this important to this discussion? I think, as i've expressed before, that:
In order to do what JESUS would have done we need to know what HE would do and the best way to know is to read/study the Gospels.
So here is today's blog:
Before the feast of Passover,
JESUS knew that HIS hour had come
to pass from this world to the FATHER.
HE loved HIS own in the world
and HE loved them to the end.
2 The devil had already induced
Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot,
to hand HIM over.
So, during supper,
3 fully aware that the FATHER
had put everything into HIS power
and that HE had come from GOD
and was returning to GOD,
4 HE rose from supper
and took off HIS outer garments.
HE took a towel and tied it around HIS waist.
5Then he poured water into a basin
and began to wash the disciples' feet
and dry them with the towel around HIS waist.
Note:
1. HE didn't skip Judus
2. No one commented until HE came to Peter
12 So when HE had washed their feet
(and) put HIS garments back on
and reclined at table again,
HE said to them,
"Do you realize what I have done for you?
13 You call me 'teacher' and 'master,' and rightly so,
for indeed I am.
14 If I, therefore,
the master and teacher,
have washed your feet,
you ought to wash one another's feet.
15 I have given you a model to follow,
so that as I have done for you, you should also do.
is HE literally asking us to wash each others feet?
only if that is the best way to serve.
what HE is really asking is that we serve each other because:
34 I give you a new commandment:
love one another. As I have loved you,
so you also should love one another.
35 This is how all will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another."
I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, I'll keep you in prayer.Thank you all for your prayers. I'm still sick, but I'm beginning to feel a little better. Yesterday I was having trouble even eating anything, but now I can eat without feeling too sick.
Yes, I should try to do that, but whenever I don't feel good, I have trouble making myself do anything. I need to work on that. I have thought about what I said about women being missionaries, and I think that I have figured out what I believe. I think I believe that women can be missionaries, but not in the same way as men. I do not believe that women should preach. So I think what I mean to say is that I think women can do missionary work and help people and witness to people, but I don't think that they should preach. If you don't agree, please don't get upset with me. I am just clarifying and correcting what I said earlier. Please don't be offended. This is just what I believe. You don't have to agree. And I'm not trying to turn this into a debate.
Yes, we should serve each other in any way possible. We are all called to serve Him. He served, so why shouldn't we. In order to do what Jesus would do we need to serve others.
Happy Easter All.Happy Easter everyone!!!
Well, I tend to only be on weekdays, I work with computers all day, so I don't do much online on the weekends.Nobody's been very active here recently. I hope all is well.

Good to have you back, you're truly a blessing sister and an inspiration to me thank you for being you.Hello friends!![]()
I'm back... well, about 80% back and about 90% recovered-- only through the grace of God. I'm hoping to be in check much more frequently now, but I do have many things to catch up on-- balancing the check books, laundry, filing, laundry, sorting through several weeks of mail and school memos, laundry, catching up on bills, laundry, etc.
I hope everyone had a blessed Easter filled with many wonderful things!
Nice to meet you and welcome.I'm just checking in to see how everyone is doing.
Good for you, full speed ahead.Hey everyone,
Hope you guys had a good, chocolatey, memorative Easter.
After doing a small search, I've found a little clarity now. I now know what I have to do to become a better person. I just hope that...everything will go well.
Rita
Welcome here great to have you as part of the club!thanx!!
