    Answered Prayers

    I sent a prayer request about my pneumonia recovery approx. a week ago. I've felt stronger and better every day, and now I'm close to normal. :) God is so good and faithful, but in a desperate mood it's so hard to remember it.

    Pneumonia recovery

    I've had a case of pneumonia. I was at the hospital for almost two weeks. I feel very weak, and the slow recovery is emotionally demanding. It's a long time since I've had such a bad infection.

    Is baptism in the Holy Spirit the same as being Spirit filled?

    The Biblical evidence is explained in Acts 1:8: Ye shall receive POWER. The purpose of being filled with the Spirit is that the believer becomes a witness of Jesus.

    Purring

    Same here! My cat snores when he's asleep with his head up (like when in a small basket). He also often purrs and wags his tail at the same time.

    dance for the disabled (is there such a thing?)

    Wheelchair dancing is nothing new, I've done it over 10 years ago. :) I'm sure your local disability associations' people will help you with this. There are all kinds of clubs and groups with this hobby.

    is it okay to pray for animals?

    I've heard many testimonies about pets being healed. I remember one about a cat sitting on top of a tv where a live prayer request broadcast was coming.

    Scandinavia!

    I agree, this British/European forum is far too big. We get lost in this big place.

    Down about being disabled?

    I know what you're talking about. I have a neuromuscular condition and though I have a lot to enjoy in my life, I feel lonely and forgotten from time to time. I hate spring, the most depressing time of a year... seeing all other people of my age dating and having fun. But when I'm busy with my...

    A Silly Thread

    If the sermon's too long, look at your watch, knock it and hold it close to your ear.

    Sibelius lovers??

    Being from Finland I have listened to some of his music. I think his 2nd symphony is very impressive and emotional. Romance in C is probably my favorite piece of Sibelius.

    Number of Calvinists?

    Hello! I wonder how big part of Christians are calvinists (today)? I would presume it has decreased due to the strong increase of charismatics in the last 100 years or so. Am I right?

    Do you like Siamese cats?

    Siamese is one of my favorite cat breeds. Always at a cat show I spend much time at their section. The looks appeal to me. It's so elegant and sophisticated. They look so smart (and they are, of course)! And their voice...

    Disabilities And Puberty

    Interesting theory. Might be true in some cases. Also the disability itself affects how the puberty develops. I think another possibility is that when you have a physical disability, you think a lot instead of spending physical energy. That way you get mentally more mature than your peers.

    Is it possible to worship the Bible?

    Very interesting question to ponder. Somehow I tend to think it's not possible to put the Bible above God. After all: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect...

    Lost Dogs fans?

    Hello! Do we have fans of the Lost Dogs band here? I have recently discovered their versatile and happy-sounding music. Those guys are great songwriters and talented musicians.

    Is your pet a believer?

    Thanks for your interesting replys! :) Cats indeed don't necessarily do as you tell them to - doesn't that teach us how not to be under law? ;D Or doesn't "the man's best friend" teach us how faithful we should be to God? Regarding the subject in a more serious sense, I find Job...
