Howdy all. I've been away from youth ministry for a while, but about a decade or more ago we used to gather the kids at the flag pole on the See you at the Pole Day of Prayer in late September. I'm sure this still goes on, but are youth pastors allowed on school grounds for prayer with thier...

Howdy all. It's been a while since I posted. I am currently involved with a small church. We graduated 3 Seniors this year, 3 last year, and school is starting up with a very small youth group. I have talked to several churches along our main street and many churches are in the same boat...

I'll be sure and watch the Macedonia headlines for the results of that game. I'm currently living in the US in Arkansas. I have family here. Did you visit Macedonia? Where are you from? Send me a Private message (PM) if you want. Blessings...Dusty

Hi Dariya. Thank you for the greetings. Enjoy Macedonia if that's where you are...Funny that I'm on the other side of the fence now. Blessings.

Hi Heron, Sorry Im posting this a month after you posted to me. Funny thing now. Our tables are reversed. As you wrote your last post to me, I was on my way back to the US from Macedonia. I arrived in early June and got a chance to visit Kosovo. I must say, I agree with much of your former...

Feta is more Greek white cheese. The White cheese in Macedonia is called Sirenje (Seerenyey--j's sound like y's, i's like ee) It's sharper and more solid, kinda like a white cheeder, but more crumbly and tasty, like Goat's cheese, which is actually what it is. Most salads are mixed vegtables...

Food is the cheapest and best thing about Macedonia. Try to find a kilo of tomatos for $.40 anywhere else. And the taste is garden fresh. Everything from the market is right off the fields. My favorite salad is Shopska, mixed tomatos and cucumbers with shreaded white cheese on top...

No problem. Thanks for being interested. By all means, enjoy your visits to Greece and Macedonia. Both have a lot to see and enjoy. There's a daily van that goes to Thessaoniki early in the morning and returns in the evening from the Holiday Inn in Skopje. I think it's about 40ish Euros...

Well, jury's still out on that. More research in linguistics is needed. But, for the origin of the modern Macedonian language, might I suggest Ohrid, the city of 365 churches, one for every day of the year, along the beautiful lake of the same name. There, scholars and missionaries St. Cyril...

Dear heron, I don't think you have anything to worry about. The only thing about walking into a religious building, no matter what it is, keep your shoulders covered and wear long pants. Mosques sometimes require head covering, and you have to remove your shoes, but I don't see many women in...

Been biking shirtless most of my life. Don't run too much. If people do scream at me to put a shirt on, they're already out of earshot. Shirtless is so common in Europe, especially during the sunny weather. Been to Egypt where many men wear the long robes and such. Dry hot climates and long...

Your PM box was full, so I'll tell you here: I have AIM and my name is oncedust1. I use MSN sometimes, but I'd rather not give my name on CF on a public board. Can I send it to you by email? Or, maybe you can post me your MSN name and I'll add you. I don't use ICQ. Let me know...

Sure, bro, no problem. PM anytime. Blessings.

I'll be your pen pal :) Thanks for making me a friend. PM any time. Blessings.

I completely agree.
