I have good news. Here's proof of divine intervention: First off...back in Feb, we had 2 feet of snow in one night. It broke both the truck snow plow and ATV plow. My husband snapped and said he was done with that mess. He hurts too much to be battling that kind of snow anymore and so am I. I...

I can't do any of prescription medications as they all make you gain weight and I absolutely cannot gain any more weight. I did find something called GABA (Gamma-amino butyric acid) in a chewable tablet. It is supposed to mellow you out. I am going to take one tonight along with a B12 vitamin...

I had a big panic attack today. Haven't had one in a long time. I had an appointment at this physical therapist today. He was supposed to help me with my posture to help back pain. I walked into that place and felt so uneasy. I sat down and started to fill out paperwork and I don't know what...

Relief. I finally quit playing the piano at church. Feel bad I left them without a pianist, but I was dreading church so much that it was making me physically ill. I had to pick between my sanity and service and well...I don't want to go back to the hospital. I promised myself I wouldn't do...

I’m not arguing with a woman-hater.

I’ve been so depressed, I haven’t been online much. I have to make a huge decision that will totally disrupt our church. If I quit, the church has no piano player....if I don’t...I continue deeper into despair, dread and depression. SOooo overwhelmed right now. I can’t get out of this funk....

Yes...if they are truly in need, you know them, or things don’t seem fishy, help them, by all means. I don’t mean to get everyone paranoid, but be aware that there are posers in the church. Use a little wisdom and think about what they’re asking; if it’s a true need or they just want help...

My husband has started recommending contractors he knows. That deflects a lot of scammers. Now, he’s started charging double what a contractor would ask because he is disabled and having terrible trouble with his shoulders. THey don’t bother him so much anymore...it’s the other people who I...

I have to ask folks...have you noticed a lot more posers coming into your church for the express purpose of hunting for volunteers to do their dirty work? What’s your opinion on helping these people who are pretending to be Christians? Do you think we should help them anyway as it sets a good...

Feeling relieved! Was supposed to play guitar this Sunday at a church picnic, but it’s forecasted to get rained out so the pastor cancelled. Woooo! I haven’t practiced all year and well...maybe the Lord knew it was going to be a train wreck and did me a favor.

Kid got her job back. :eek: I'm in shock but glad for her. She is so lucky the manager gave her a second chance. I discovered why I've been gaining all my weight back. (on top of the angry stress eating.) I have hyperparathyroidism and the steroid injection my PCM gave me a few months ago...

I did not go to church today. The anxiety/paranoia of my daughter's drama being known and whispered about outweighed the guilt of leaving the worship team hanging without a piano player. That's never happened before, but I'm tired of the Saturday night panic attacks and utter dread of going to...

Daughter packed her car up and left. Said she is going to go live in it in town so she can find a job. All I did was tell her that she needed to help out around the house, clean her bathroom up and keep her room somewhat straightened up. I had just cleaned the house up Sat night, came back...

My Grandparents were Old Regular Baptists from southeastern Kentucky. I remember going to a service and hearing this singing. It was creepy as they did it like a mournsome dirge, not like the video above. Thanks for posting. The history is interesting! Did not know it came from Scotland.

As hard as it is to find dedicated musician and your church pulls that? WOW! I am our church's pianist and I play a Yamaha digital piano. I use the transpose whenever I need to; especially if our guitarist can't play in a particular key that our worship leader needs to sing in. If anything...

Today I had to drop $160 for a new alternator for the kid's car. I know she couldn't help that, but....GRRRR. You know what I did? I made her put it in. Showed her how to use tools, what to disconnect, how to adjust the tension bolts/belt and made her do it all. There wasn't one bit of...

IT IS ANGER. Foot sates my anger and frustration. I have the whole vicious cycle thing drawn out and know the steps, but I keep forgetting to intervene and redirect/distract myself when I get to the triggers. Lack of control of situations is one. My 20 yr old daughter is the biggest one...

I lost 64 pounds and gained 40 of it back. I don't like myself right now. I have a serious addiction to sugar and just...can't stop eating. gluttony is a sin...I know it's a sin and it's an addicting sin which I'm having a heck of a time abstaining from. Satan sure knows how to use our...

You hit the nail on the head there. There is a positive to this...should the occasion arise that you come across someone else in this situation, you now have more wisdom in counseling and encouraging them. You make a great point, too...in that she needs to seek God. Sometimes, our trials...
