Make it cheesecake and I'll have to even sit & think about being quiet & eating.... lolyay thanks! I like cake.
I'm sure that if there is one thing leftists and rightists agree on, it's that cake is fantastic.

But... Jesus said it best,
"I did not come for the righteous, but to call sinners to repentance".
He didn't come to join us all together as one big world party - He called us to suffer, to serve, to preach the Word, exhort, rebuke, obey and stand in truth - if need be, even to the death.
Our mission here isn't to just live in peace with everybody and unite in love... contrary to what many Christians today are preaching.
Not that we do not Love... but that we properly define what love is according to God, not man's PC philosophy today.
This verse from Jesus is overlooked by most people today, so I'm going to repeat it from IamRedeemed's post:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." Matthew 10:34-36
As much as I love the world, I can't be a part of its system and fall into the snares Satan has for me in it.
Yes, I'd love to be loved & accepted by God AND the people who work against Him (and who may profess Him but their works are contrary)- God made us to NEED love and acceptance from others... but not at the high price it will cost me:
MY SOUL.

Iamredeemed said:Amen! The cost of the world's "love" is TOO HIGH!
I'd rather lose the "love" the world has to offer and gain the TRUE love God is offering and the redemption of my soul! Even if means the world will hate me and seek to kill my body.

LOLOL thanks LT. That was just sheer embarrassing!
I felt like Paul when he preached so long that a man sitting in the window finally dozed off & fell out.

It's all good. 
Hey thanks for the info... I only did that 2 times tho... it just kept posting more! lol (if I don't hit submit 2 times when it takes forever like that, I lose what I posted when it goes to timeout page; refreshing doesn't get it back)If for some reason you post and it takes forever and a day to load the post, don't keep re-posting. I've found that whenever we do that, it multiple posts. Don't know if that's what was happening, Nadiine, but thought it couldn't hurt to share!
<3
I have that happen at other boards, too. I generally C&P the post and put it into a Word document or a simple text editor. That way, if it doesn't post for some reason, I still have the body of the post, if it's still applicable. But I also leave my computer on all the time, so...
MMmm...pizza rolls. I just spent a day and a half in the hospital and oddly enough, pizza rolls was NOT on the menu. I think I've just found my new cause!![]()
*also wants to know*What were ya in the hospital for?![]()
I had to have a cerclage done yesterday morning and being 23 weeks along they wanted to keep me overnight for observation.
Nothing too serious, although I will be on modified bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy. I hate bed rest.

OUCH girl, that sounds so painful!!!I had to have a cerclage done yesterday morning and being 23 weeks along they wanted to keep me overnight for observation.

Aww..I had to have a cerclage done yesterday morning and being 23 weeks along they wanted to keep me overnight for observation.

Bed rest stinks. Praying, sis, very very muchBed rest isn't that simple around this household!And I mean that in a good, positive way. I just am not the person to sit around and not do anything. I mean, I like my soaps and stuff, but I also like to clean and dust and that kind of stuff. Plus, we are getting ready to host the area reformation service this weekend, and me being on bed rest kinda puts an entire work-load on hubby. But he'll manage.
I'm okay, and the baby is okay...I just need to take it easy so that he doesn't make an early appearance. Science and technology have made some great advancements for preemies, but they're still working out the kinks for how a 22 week old baby might survive. It's happened, but the majority of women who go into labor this early often lose their babies. I'm content with delivering at 30 weeks, but even that is dangerous. My first son was born at 32 weeks, and I'm pretty sure his asthma is a result of that.
I think, though, that I actually had this with my last two pregnancies and it just never got diagnosed. It would explain why I was always having contractions but never going into labor. Weird.
