OK am I missing something? The advertizements in Theologia Crucis or anywhere, tend to be geared toward whatever is being discussed, at least that is how it seems to me. Hence when I come here there is usually all sorts of little links to Lutheran books and what not. So what is this doing here then?

The advertisements do not show up for site supporters so the only time I see them is when I log in as SML to manage the blessings. (By the way...would be happy to give that job to someone else...but only to someone with both feet firmly planted in Lutheranism...of the last two guys that had it one opted to swim the Tiber the other to go East. I am still here but getting nervous the job will jinx me! )

Why is this church named the Christ Armenian Church? Or are there a lot of Armenians immigrants in California...if so, wouldn't this site be in Armenian instead of English? As to why it shows up in our ads...who knows. They may have listed all the major denoms as keywords--so they can free us from our boundage. -----R

Weird. I don't know. Is this the WOF version of the Trail of Blood or something?

Sorry...don't know what the Trail of Blood is...and by extension do not know the WOF take on it.

I did catch one interesting article from their Christian News box...on missions trips and over 7000 lives saved for Christ...reminds me of a story my SIL told me.

Right after the hurricanes this fall my SIL went to Jamaica to work for 10 days at an orphanage for the disabled, both developmentally and physically. This was a mission trip planned by her church (RCC). There was no running water, no air conditioning. In fact, they bring their clothes in Rubbermaid Totes and when they leave they leave the totes behind because these are useful and they leave all their clothes behind for the needy. My SIL is quite gifted in working with the disabled. Her brother had CP and she worked with him growing up...so she did some tremendous work with these children (and adults, too, in some cases) providing therapy, annointing with oil at a healing service, one on one interaction, just reaching out in love. You should see the pictures. Every time Lizzie is in the shot the people are smiling from ear to ear. This was her mission trip.

She ran into a friend (another major denomination) at the store one day and they both started exchanging info on the recent things in their lives. When her friend heard about the mission trip to Jamaica she asked Liz how many people she had saved. , Liz thinks. The friend proceeds to tell her about her recent mission trip in Europe where she saved 300 souls riding through Europe on an air conditioned coach bus wired for DVD entertainment. The only thing missing was the cocktails...well, and you know why!

Anyway...I thought about the stark contrast in what different people consider to be "mission work". And had to laugh about the "soul's saved scorecard". How nuts is that?

Peace

LOL. . .that's completely nuts! I understand, and yet. . .I mean, we should really help others, so I'd consider the first to be more of a mission trip and the other just evangelizing.

Reading that makes me think how much I want to be able to support a child through Compassion Internation - which requires money - which I don't really have because I'm paying off all kinds of bills.

All in God's time...you'll get there!

We actually support a child...a little deaf girl in Kenya who now has the opportunity to go to a special school for the deaf. Unfortunately, it is a boarding school so she must be away from her family for about 6 months out of the year. (We were especially interested in her because my father also had to go to a boarding school for the hearing impaired when he was little.) Unfortunately, she writes more than we do! I should be more thoughtful about writing letters and sending photos....

Yep, eventually. In my LiveJournal (PurpleBunny reads it sometimes), I posted Michael's and George's stories of visiting their sponsored children. . .makes me cry. . .

So good to hear of these things - like everybody always says they like compassion because, "They know it works."

I love writing letters, so I don't think writing would be a problem for me.

About 700 more posts until I reach 2500. . .I think that'll take me awhile! LOL I'm perfectly a-okay with that one!

I started an auction for a breath mint! LOL. . well, actually, since I had to put something to auction with a non-armor equipment, it's the breath mint. I'm auctioning making a custom avatar. . .and I put the breath mint with it. It's funnier to say I'm auctioning off a breath mint, though!

Used or unused breath mint?

I have an internet friend, a young man 18-19 years old, lives in LA County and is completely deaf. He nearly died from an illness when he was a very small child, menangitis I believe.

Although this guy has a lot of maturing to do, he is already a very faithful servant of The Lord, and is always doing personal evangelism.

There are times when his handicap gets him down, but for the most part, he lets his light shine through and he has more friends than you can shake a stick at.

I just think its wonderful that God can and does Bless people in this way, the only sad part is that most people don't view it as a Blessing.

My best friend's soon-to-be fiance had meningitis when he was three years old and ended up deaf as a result. Apparently because of the type of hearing damage and the fact that he could hear as a child, they think that within five or ten years they will be able to restore his hearing! In fact, there is surgery now that could give him partial hearing, but I think he wants to wait until there are more reliable and complete treatments available.

Bronx, where have you been lately??? Good to see you around!

It is COLD here in Georgia today, too...19 when I left the house this morning...but it did warm up to somewhere in the 40's this afternoon. Unfortunately, our propane tank (it feeds our cheezy fireplace...it isn't really safe to burn wood in the fireplaces of the cheap newer home construction here) is empty so no fire tonight.
