Thank you, maid, angels, and whitebeaches. Many blessings!

Thank you, thank you, Brinny! I was tired today but felt God's grace everywhere. :)

Oh, and guess what: I actually had a good cry this afternoon, and it felt good. :)

Thank you, everyone, for praying for us last night/early this morning. I was quite tired earlier but felt rejuvenated as my daughter and I took the babies for their flu shots and spent some time together. Immediately, I realized that things are fine and that when I wrote I was letting my old...

Initial post deleted.

Dear people, thank you for all your prayers since I first posted. I was re-reading all the posts, and it made me realize how much the Lord has done for my daughter and our family since I first posted. I saw her just today, and she looked beautiful and healthy. She even has a part-time job now (I...

Hallelujah, indeed! Some songs don't span generations, either. There's an old Supertramp song, "Downstream," that I think is just beautiful, and I have no idea how it was meant when it was written, but I definitely feel closer to God when I hear it. But only old hippies from the '70s could...

I keep using the phrase "fuddy-duddy." I'll try to find a new one next time I post--LOL! But just add, I can see why "Desperado" and "Show Me the Way" would work, just like "Rocket Man" worked that Sunday our minister preached about how Christianity isn't rocket science. It all depends on the...

Wow, it takes me awhile to respond, doesn't it, but . . . you're welcome, Gozreht. Thank you, too. I think this topic is something it's good for church musicians and congregations to talk about. I sure don't want to judge any other musician's intentions in playing a piece or playing something...

No, that's okay, Snowfam! Thank you for your prayers. Thanks to everyone who saw my post. We have more news. She is pregnant with TWINS and is absolutely elated. I have to admit that so are we (my husband, younger daughter and I, although son and middle child is skeptical). It's hard not be...

Just praying for all those in despair right now, especially Ken who was a courageous whistle-blower on a company (can't find his original post)--You did the right thing!--Damon, and the teacher who posted this morning about having anxiety attacks during the school day. You're on my heart. There...

Thank you for praying for my situation, everyone. I am feeling much, much less worried today. The situation still hasn't resolved itself, but I have been reassured, and I have the support of my supervisors, who have been very comforting. I know that God helped me get this job, so I have to...

I haven't been here long, although I was a sometime visitor a few years ago, but I just want to say that I'm really thankful for this forum. I'm taking a break from Facebook, so I miss the social interaction there and some of the milestones of my friends' lives, but I don't miss the trivial...

Thanks so much, servant and cm. It has not gotten any better today. Although one of my supervisors asked the student not to contact me, he emailed classmates about me and sent me hurtful comments from two of them. My supervisors support me, thank God for that, but I'm just hurt that not all my...

Hi, everyone. First, this is not a serious, life-or-death issue at all, but I sure would appreciate your prayer. I teach online and have a student who began badgering me for an A in the class a week before final grades were due (yesterday), even before I'd read his final paper. He had earned...

Snowfam, no apologies necessary! I love to hear stories like yours, because you give me so much hope! Praise God for your new life! At only 24, my daughter has lost several friends to drugs, too, and it has been very heartbreaking for her. One of them was a young man who used to visit our...

Couldn't say it better myself! I've battled that darkness off and on for years, but even in the darkest times, if you call on Jesus, He will be there for you as He has been for me with a peace that truly does pass understanding. No, your problems won't all be automatically solved and yes, you...

Rebecca, I loved the story, and no, I've never read that, although I've heard of it. Yeah, I'm feeling pretty at peace right now, and I'm really thankful for that. Maybe I'm finally done trying to tell God what to do. ;) I will pray for you and yours.

Thank you, Rebecca. I will pray for you and yours, too. My daughter just found out that she's pregnant, too. She's so happy about it, and it's wonderful to see her so happy and glowing, even though the circumstances aren't ideal. Now our prayer is that she can withdraw from the medicine that...

I wouldn't like that, either, Gozreht. I love Adele's voice, but there's a time and a place to listen to Adele, and there's a time and a place to listen to music intended to draw us closer to God. I'm a church pianist, and sometimes I play contemporary music with spiritual lyrics, but I...
