Think I'll sit down here for a bit... (2)

[porterross]

You seem to fall down a lot.

I need to go somewhere and pass out.

Actually had a few people at Vespers tonight...


...the choir.

It's a start. Word will get out. Ya gotta have faith.

I have a wee problem and could use a bit of advice. See my friend is a Nazerine and extremely legalistic. She keeps giving me these books asking me to read them. For instance, she gave me Living Beyond The Limits, a devotional by Franklin Graham, and wants me to go through it. Billy and his son, Franklin Graham are fine men. Still, I don't believe what they do. I keep telling her this. Paula gave me one today that had to do with living the sanctified life, or something like that. I can't quite remember the name. She also won't stand even the mildest of profanity, getting really adamantly offended. Now, before anyone starts jumping down my throat, Hell and Damn are the worst words in my public vocabulary. For instance, I jokingly told her that I was Damned to Eh, Oh, Hell. She was offended. Told me that I was 'grieving the Spirit with my unseemly speech.' Another time, she said that they (she and her fiance') might get stuck with a new home they were in the process of buying. I responded, again jokingly, "Oh damn! You'll just have to suffer with the nicest home on this side of the lake!" Again, she was offended.

I've been trying to get out of this house. It's bleeding me white and the driveway is destroying my cars. Yet, she constantly waxes poetic about how beautiful the setting is, the view, the privacy, etc ad nauseum. All of which is true. Still, the place is bleeding me and the driveway is terrible (long too)! Just today, she was saying, "are you sure God wants you to move from Lewiston? Look how beautiful this is. Why do you want to go to a place you've never been?" This less than ten minutes after holding on for dear life whilst going up my driveway and complaining how bad it is.

Paula trys to get me to go to church with her. She is getting more and more agressive with her prosthelyzing. How do I deal with this? The woman has pulled my chestnuts out of the fire and been more of a Christian sister to me than anyone else I've ever met. What she is doing is in sisterly love, still sometimes, it's suffocating.

She has worked her way into my heart and I have no wish to hurt her. She is kind, there when I need help, encourging, suffocatingly leagalistic, and drives me crazy. Any suggestions on how I can deal with this?

Wonderful! Must be something new you are trying?

May God bless.

No truoble really, I'm just getting bored of school. (Well getting probably isn't the right word. I was never excited about it in the first place really.)

But it's OK, it's better than a public school.

This time of year it's sure hard to stay excited to study, I would think. Soon it will be summer!

Stude,

How long have you known this person? She knows you are already a Christian, yet is trying to convert you......that's not so nice, on her part.

If she is a friend, you can surely say...I'm happy being Lutheran, and I see it as the place God has led me to. Who can argue with God's leading?

Just a start......

Night folks.......gonna try and sleep.

 

[ctay]

I feel yucky this morning, yuck yuck....

 

[dinkime]

we are suppose to have spotty rain and be near 70 today...the key word is SUPPOSE, so we will see what really happens!

 

[seajoy]

I feel yucky this morning, yuck yuck....

Sorry ctay...can I help?

 

[synger]

I'm doing well. Getting the house cleaned up a little at a time. My daughter's birthday party is this weekend. She'll be six.

That's a lot of fun. Gem just had her 6th birthday a few weeks ago. I hope you have nice weather for the celebration

 

[ctay]

Sorry ctay...can I help?

Just woke up sick coming out both ends. Guess I got whatever my son had the other day.

Well, I can at least pray for you....and I will.

Keep as hydrated as you can. And rest.

 

[seajoy]

I'm just thinking, and typing here at the same time......but as others have mentioned before.........I sometimes wish we just had a confessional Lutheran forum, and a liberal one. Each time someone has questions concerning the Lutheran faith (in the general forum), or just attending a Lutheran church....it becomes a debate on close/open communion...and questions also arise on if all of Scripture is inspired ......these things would just be a 'given' if we had our own place in which we could just minister to folks.

The longer I'm here...the more I see it as nessasary. Am I wrong? Sorry, if I offended anyone here.

Definitely drink a lot of fluids. My husband had that last month, and ended up in emergency care, dehydrated, within a day. By the time he started to drink a lot of liquids, he couldn't keep anything down and it was too late. We had to call 911. It's amazing how delicate our fluid balance can be.

Hope you feel better soon. Being sick like that is the pits!

Heh... a little more information than we needed. :o

I pray that you feel better. I know that it's no fun being sick. I was down for nearly two weeks either side of Easter. It was horrible.

I can't even imagine being 15. I didn't have a brain in my head yet. now I'm lucky. I got half a brain

All the Nazarenes and Pentecoastals and non-denoms, charismatics and AoG's are legalistic. They are like the OT Jews that had to live by the law. Dot every "I" and cross every "t". Tell her you don't live by the law and have God's grace and mercy through Jesus Christ. She probably won't understand but it might get through that you don't have to keep the letter of the law because you have to. You try to do what God wants you to do because you want to because He saved and loves you. Grace and mercy are there in case you screw up your life.
