Okay, I can feel a slump coming on. I have just raided the kids sweetie tin, and eaten 2 freddo frogs and a packet of buttons. I will be on a suger high in a minute and then I will get a headache. ARGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! It's home league and kids club today. I think I had better give home league lunch a miss- I don't think I can face the soup! To cap it all, I have a zit in the centre of my forehead. Think I'll play sonic the hedgehog to take mind off it all!

Truth doesn't always come dressed for dinner!
Wow, what a blessing to stumble across the SA in my daily visit to the forums. I grew up in the Salem, Oregon Citadel Corps, spent nearly every summer at Camp Kuratli at Trestle Glen, and look back on my years with the SA with so much joy and thanksgiving.
I am Messianic Jew now, but in the 15 years since I left SA, I have given thanks again and again for the solid foundation of truth and scriptural integrity that I have fallen back on all of my life. Because of the SA I have a love of music and singing that I have passed on to my own children.
Thank you for doing what you do.

Hey Blueskies, thank you for your post.
This may sound strange, but I was just trying to remember the name of a website I've been meaning to visit, and hey presto I saw your post. All I can say really is that God sure picks interesting ways to remind us of things sometimes.

A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication for her daughter.
Upon returning to her car she found that she had locked her keys in the car. She was in a hurry to get home to her sick daughter. She didn't know what to do, so she called her home and told the baby sitter what had happened and that she did not know what to do.
The baby sitter told her that her daughter was getting worse. She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door." The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been thrown down on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time or other had locked their keys in their car. Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this." So she bowed her head and asked God to send her some help.
Within five minutes an old rusty car pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head. The woman thought, "This is what you sent to help me?" But she was desperate, so she was also very thankful.
The man got out of his car and asked her if he could help. She said, "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?"
He said, "Sure". He walked over to the car, and in less than one minute the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "Thank You So Much! You are a very nice man."
The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison yesterday. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out less than 24 hours."
The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud, "Oh, Thank you God! You even sent me a Professional!"
God may not always send us what we expect, but He will always send us what we need. It's up to us to have the wisdom to recognize the difference and be thankful.

Felling a bit silly today, so heres a silly story...you are not going to like this....in fact I'm leaving the building before you even read it
A frog walks into a bank and goes up to the counter. he looks up at the cashier and can see from her name badge that her name is Patricia Whack. The frog says 'Please can I have a loan of £10,000 so that I can go on holiday'.
The cashier understandably looks a little taken aback, so the frog says 'It's OK, my name is Kermit Jagger, my dad is Mick Jagger and he knows the manager well'.
The cashier asks the frog if he can provide any collatoral for the loan, and the frog produces a small porcelain elephant from his pocket and states that he will use it as security for the loan.
By now the cashier is totally nonplussed and goes through to see the manager, relates the frogs story to him, shows him the small elephant and asks what it is and what she should do.
The manager replies....
'It's a niknak, Patty Whack, give the frog a loan, his old mans a Rolling Stone'
Sorry
I won't give up my day job just yet

That's all folks. Off to bed now. Weekend off, so going to an auction tomorrow morning. Should be interesting. I have a reputation for buying all kinds of junk at them. Once bought 5 gallons of brown sauce!! (sold it all on a carboot sale, apparently it makes a very good oven cleaner)

I should go to the mercy seat next week... didn't go to church today - B slept in til all hours, and then spent the afternoon in Byron Bay.
Have to go see my minister on Tuesday night about my 'ministry' for the coming year - he's very keen on us all having a ministry at church!
Which reminds me Elm0 - remind me to talk to you and the Mrs about Life Group!

Your name & B's are on the list as attending our Life Group if that's what you mean. And we're probably starting back Feb 14, once we have a home to have it in.

Yeah - just meant to check with S_E the other night and forgot, as I hadn't heard anything, and considering most of our group is without transport it'd be a tad 'tricky' to get you all to my place now!
