How are you doing, Casi?! It's good to see you.

But don't you have contention where you post, too? LOL.

God bless!

HEHE....well let me put it this way...I don't have contention about Mormonism...and I don't get flamed nearly as often

I am doing alright..just got registered today for 16 credit hours and informed that I have a part time job starting soon at a bank..so I am going to be one busy cookie...along with my .com site...well...let's just say... no time for fun for a bit.

How are you and your family?

We are doing well.

My older daughter got her letter saying she was accepted to the All State All-String Orchestra based on her NYSSMA scores this year. The concert will be in Rochester, NY in October. I am very excited.

My husband is upgrading to Captain. THAT is exciting!

Nothing new for me, though.

Glad things are happenin' for you! That all sounds great!

Nice to meet you Casi...You say you changed your icon, but which one did you have before?

I was unaware that the pagan icon was one of the ones allowed in UT...Which icons (Aside from all the ones allowed in the Christains Only forums, and the ons for the religoins reprisented in the forums here) are allowed? Never really took time to wonder...

 

[A New Dawn]

Only believers are allowed to post in UTD, but this is an [OPEN] thread, so everybody can post in it.

I had a non-denominal Christian Icon. I was LDS for years and left. It was my defense of Mormonism that got me into such contentious arguments.

As Dawn said only believers are allowed to post in this forum...however, I would like to point out that it really means, those who are believers as defined by the rules of the forum. I have not given up my respect and belief in Jesus' teachings. Merely given up using the christian icon as I got tired of being told I am not a "true" christian. But ..let us keep this light

[Rescued One]

May all your Prayers be answered.


A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.

The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God.

However, to determine whose prayers should be most effective, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food.

The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island and boarded the ship with his wife.

Since none of the other man’s prayers had been answered, he considered him unworthy to receive God's blessings, so he decided to leave the second man on the island.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"

"My blessings are a result of my faith and prayers, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so I figured he does not deserve anything."

"You are sorely mistaken, and are in great debt to him.”

“How’s that?” the first man asked.

”It was his great faith that invoked the blessings, and he prayed that all your prayers might be answered."

It just occurred to me:

Are you the same Moonshadow that used to participate on the usenet group soc.religion.mormon?

Nope but will go look there now

I like the new name, but I am perturbed by the fact that the hamburger I just ordered walked out and asked if I wanted mayo and pickles.

Swart's update:

I finished up a major project this last week and will be handing it over on Tuesday (hopefully that means I'll get paid).

Last night's Dr Who episode was the funniest (and weirdest) one yet. It was an intertextual dig a Dr Who geek fans. Watch for the humorous twist at the end. Certain aspects of which are left to the viewers imagination.

I'm off on my annual holiday to Noosa next week which will be a technology-free holiday (hence no Internet). It's a tought life, but somebody has to do it.

BTW: Anyone want to meet the meat?

(For Dr Who spotters: "Major Cow" in the HGTG BBC TV series is played by Peter Davison, who at that time was married to Sandra Dickinson, who played Trillian)

I like splitting off the more active UT theologies into their own forums. The UT discussions in the open area are much more interesting now.

Great job staff, if any of you read this.

Well, I'm back from my holiday. I may post some piccies later. It was interesting to say the least. I somehow forgot to take the handbrake off whilst driving on the beach and even drove 10km or so before they siezed up. At the time I thought I had done the rear differential in as well. Fortunately, it only cost me a tow and a new set of brake pads, however it was a few days before I found out the damage was minimal.

It gave me the opportunity to meet up with a Good Samaritan that that took my family back to the resort. It also helped me become re-acquainted with prayer in time of desperation. (It was late Friday afternoon and we were literally in the middle of nowhere).

Well, if you are going to be stuck in the middle of nowhere, that middle of nowhere looks like a pretty nice place to be stuck in. Much better than these middle of nowheres (or is it middles of nowhere?).
