I too have been shocked to know that someone was married. Guess it's easy to do when you don't see a spouse attending. I think that's a big part of human nature.My husband rarely attends church and so it came to me after a while, years ago when we started attending the church we still attend now, that lots of folk thought I was a solo mother to start with.
I was doing some of that with Ellie, and then something happened and she gave away her blessings, sent me a PM she was leaving because of some post about pantagraph jewelry, and she turned off her PM's before icould get back to her about whereever she was posting at, was sad to see that happen and her to leave us so suddenlyAnd, you can minister to others in your situation like the rest of us cannot. God will use you...and obviously you want to be used by Him. You go bro!
i know, i'm still trying to understand thatI was doing some of that with Ellie, and then something happened and she gave away her blessings, sent me a PM she was leaving because of some post about pantagraph jewelry, and she turned off her PM's before icould get back to her about whereever she was posting at, was sad to see that happen and her to leave us so suddenly

yep ..... nothing ever is though it seems when it comes to peopleI talked with her a bit afterwards. I think she was really hurt by the fact that the site is not "all Christian"
that was goodYes, I was somewhat appalled as we knew some folk there fairly well already, so it didn't occur to me that folk might think that. My husband started attending events held from time to time though, so that sorted that out.
sorry to hear thatOne of my best pals left CF a while back. His username was Truly Blessed, and I still miss him.
just have to stay away from things that confuse and focus on things that ............ encourage and edify insteadThat's why I don't want to leave. I'm making good friends here (I think) and I can avoid the controversy and just fellowship. It's better for my soul right now.
Bye! See you later!ooops the time flew!!! i need to go for awhile
have fun chatting!!!
bless you
when the Lord's Spirit called me back ...Oh it's been several years now, maybe 10 years, I would go every week even if Kim didn't want to go, I would leave her at home. And I would go to bible study a lot without her also. She never did become a member of the church we attended.My husband rarely attends church and so it came to me after a while, years ago when we started attending the church we still attend now, that lots of folk thought I was a solo mother to start with.
Nothing better then a good church! I'm so happy for you! You ARE so blessed!when the Lord's Spirit called me back ...Oh it's been several years now, maybe 10 years, I would go every week even if Kim didn't want to go, I would leave her at home. And I would go to bible study a lot without her also. She never did become a member of the church we attended.
We was both hurt in prior church experiences, so it was a big step for me to return to a steady service schedule.
This church has been very loving and caring and expecially after Kim died, they would call, just to check up on me during the week. I have even given sermons sometimes and been the fill in worship leader.
They asked me to be on the board but I declined, and just said that my past as a heathen would not look good as an elder, that someone not knowing what I was pulled out of could not ubderstand my past. They understood completely, was just amazed with their compassion
Is good that it got settled out.Yes, I was somewhat appalled as we knew some folk there fairly well already, so it didn't occur to me that folk might think that. My husband started attending events held from time to time though, so that sorted that out.
