Let Your Light Shine.. Matt 5:16
I used to love thunderstorms we would sit on the side porch and wait for lightning to strike and count how many seconds it took to hear the thunder and could tell how far away it was

same hereWe used to go outside during a tornado warning and watch the sky.
Some of our neighbors would be outside, too. I guess everyone was more interested in seeing a funnel cloud than taking shelter.same here

The Two-Letter Word "IF"
The prison of pride is filled with self-made people, determined to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps even if they land on their rear ends! To the prideful it doesn’t matter what they did or to whom they did it or where they’ll end up– it only matters that I did it my way. You’ve seen the prisoners. The alcoholic who won’t admit his drinking problem. The woman who refuses to talk to anyone about her fears. Perhaps to see such a person all you have to do is look in the mirror.
The Bible says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just. . .” (1 John 1:9). The biggest word in Scripture just might be that two-letter one, IF. Justification…rationalization…comparison…these are tools of the jailbird. But Jesus says, “Blessed are those who mourn. . .” (Matthew 5:4). You see, true blessedness begins with deep sadness.
Now I'm being nagged to pay for site supporter status again.... grrrr. Seems the only improvements this place is making is all related to begging for money after they downgrade the forum features.
Time will tell, but so far this owner seems to be following the same modus operandi as the previous two owners with the exception that the other two owners didn't strive for more income as this one has from the start instead of getting more features we have site supporter, and then eternal site supporter or whatever. When there was a healthy blessings exchange everyone wanted site supporter so you could post faster to "earn" blessings to buy stuff with and there were some who even PAID money to BUY blessings to sponsor paid fellowship threads in BE. So far I don't see any interest at all in blessings here.... and that is sad because a lot of people came to the site to play around that were hurt and suffering in the past and in time many opened up to the wonderful people in BE. Now for the most part the place is about arguing and not a lot else.This site is more like a business then a Christian site.
