Lights out, the party's over....

!!!

Hi Dave!So glad you are here- well, speaking up here (since you have really already been here for a year) :-) Isn't it funny how the Lord puts us in precarious positions to get us to come to him in an intimate way. Praise God for that! And most people think all bad things that happen to us come from the devil.ha ha.I live near Cinci. but near the Kentucky side, ok actually IN Kentucky. I used to refuse to admit that. :-) I am sure you will be making some great contributions to the forum. So glad you decided to let your voice be heard (seen?)You said, "I really need you in this season of my life"-well, you have my undivided attention. I am sure that many will feel the same way on here. The Lord has done a wonderful work in the hearts of many on here and they are more than willing to edify, encourage, exhort, lift up and love those who need it.Your sister in Christ, Chanin

. God bless you all as we celebrate the resurrection of our Glorious King. Bless His holy name. :-)

Thanks Dave for sharing all this. Good to know there is another one of the middle-ager's in our midst (o.k., you still have a year). Had been sitting on this thought for awhile now re: the whole pre-des/free-will, maybe I can sneak it in here without notice; "Are you saved? Yes? Praise God you were predestined" beyond that...Actually like your's better. Will pray for your healing brother, a full recovery. I blew out my ACL in my knee last year and have been wondering about the future effects of not having surgery now, what you are now going through does give me pause. For now, it does go 'GI-JOE" on me sometimes but...So glad you jumped in here. Really looking forward to hearing more from you brother.Now I have to go look up 'somnambulistic'. :-)

Arrgh!It's a 'timing' thing.It will time out and you have to re-logon after about 20 minutes.Best to always do the "select all" "copy" before submitting just in case. Or use Notepad to paste into...There is a few threads on this in the help section here.Sorry brother, hate it when that happens.

Bless you all..........

Thanks,In Christ,

All I can say is wow and bless you!

"Wow" is my reaction as well.Isn't God wonderful? :)I still had some thought in my mind that my unsaved life had a lot of darkness in it... now it's thoroughly clear to me that the world took it easy on me. Or, to put it more correctly, God protected me.And He protected you, obviously. He spares nothing in protecting, nourishing, and sanctifying His vessels... but that sounds impersonal, perhaps "bride" is a more descriptive word, though we might attach incorrect connotations to it.Thank you, Brother, for sharing your story and testimony.God's grace in Christ be with you all,-Keith

Thank you Lord Jesus for your mercy and patience with us! Thank you, thank you, thank you!Thank you Dave for sharing this testimony, what an encouragenment! May God bless you yet more.In Christ,Ron

Incredible DaveThere seems to be a particular in gathering of ex-weed burners here amongst other escapes of the pharmaceutical kind.Glad to see that the Lord protected a healthy stock of reproducing brain cells. I seemed to havemanaged to burned up the vast majority over a 20 year period.So blessed to have you here.Your's is an amazing testimony.Of course, He is an amazing Lord!
