Dd is home now, she is safe, we can protect her now... all is well[;)]

She has a new friend, that is a boy, from Omaha... actually from Miami. She knows nothing about him... as far as his family life and upbringing goes. He is black. And... please... don't read into this, that I am prejudice. I'm not. She said that he loves God, I told her that is the most important thing. I am just glad that he lives far away, she's too young for a boyfriend, and she's not allowed.

Narnia,

I was just trying to make sense out of nonsense. [8D]

It's the sort of thing that it doesn't get you very far trying to figure out. Obviously I do not have enough going in my own life (yeah right!) so I feel the need to address the motives of a person I have never met as they relate to a person I have only met on line. [sm=rollingeyes.gif]

Uh, I think I hear reality calling. [;)] I really should answer this time. Talk to ya'll later! [sm=icon_smile_roll.gif]

Maybe she thinks the crux of the matter is "sola fide"- by faith alone.

Maybe she mistakenly believes that Messianic Jews believe the observing traditions is what saves, rather than faith in the sacrifice of the Messiah and His resurrection.

Could you send her a link about what Messianic Judaism is all about? [&:]

my brother gets that all the time....he has a whole section on his web site devoted to the Messianic part of what they believe, and he STILL gets people that question their belief in Jesus.

Ah, cynthia, genius again. Sam loves your new siggy. [:D]

Thanks, Shadowspring. I need to print that one out on little business sized cards and hand them out. When one is in the thick of the battle, that can be such an encouraging word.

I I know you all here have told me as much... But you all REALLY love me. My 4th cousin was a "pal" in school and I have not seen him in 20 years. Only reconnected through FB about 6 or 7 months ago. Now I find myself worrying that he will ask for some of my stuff to read! [sm=icon_smile_yikes.gif] Oooo the RED PEN!

I graciously accepted his complement- it was hard though.

When someone gives you a compliment on your writing out of the blue and especially when this happens often, you know it is sincere. You were not asking or fishing when you have been complimented. The reason you have been complimented is because you are a good writer. No one is trying to flatter you. Why would they?

We just got back from spending the day at the Medieval Faire. It was fun, but I'm beat.

It pains me greatly to say this, but I don't think it would be wise for me to try to make the trip to FOT. [sm=crystreams.gif][sm=crystreams.gif][sm=crystreams.gif] There is a big part of me that says to heck with it, just go and if the car blows up I can deal with it then, but if the car really did blow up I'd be stuck. I wouldn't have the funds this week to rent something to drive home, and Lisa's place is a little bit out of my AAA 100 mile tow allowance. So at this point I'm staying home, but I reserve the right to change my mind at the last minute if God has a miracle for me in his back pocket.

Shadow,

I'm not upset with you at all for posting. Your ideas are good ones, I just don't know if they are also her ideas.

((((Cindy))),
Sorry you can't go to FOT.

Ezri,
Told you so, told you so!! Neener, neener![;)][sm=wink.gif][sm=tongue.gif]

You could stop and say hi on your way if you wanted to. You're gonna drive right past my house.

Sounds cute, Jen! I am curious though as to why you are sewing on a little kid's machine-did yours break?

LOL, no, Suellen and Schuyler were here for the weekend and we found one at Goodwill....interestingly, JoAnn's sells them but not at Suellen's store, so we can't just pull the directions and have a look-see. We got some help from the fiber arts group, but still are having casting on/binding off problems. Schuy is happy, though. She made arm warmers...like leg warmers, lol.

We had a great time and Suellen, who is a whirlwind, helped me over some organizational hurdles. My kitchen is sparkling and my sewing stuff is 1/3 of the way there!



Ellie-Mae -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 8:22:03 AM)

Cindy, I am so sad, but I really understand. It will be weird not to have you since you have not missed a year since we started. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if you did show up anyway though.[;)]



JuliaHop -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 9:14:04 AM)

Cindy...I'm sorry that you are going to miss FOT.

Lisa...I hope that all goes well, that you get everything done, and that the time with friends is wonderful!!

How's Rebekah feeling?

I can't go to FOT either...it's always been too far to drive and there are too many of us working to attend. [:(]



amybreit -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 9:26:28 AM)

Praying for Judy's daughter!

Praying for all of you traveling to FOT & that it will be a wonderful time for each of you!

Praying for Cindy's vehicles!

Praying for Donna & Brian!!

I just wanted to pop in & say hello before we leave! We did get our clothes packed, but have some other things to pack & take care of this morning (or after church). I'm feeling a lot better, but this morning my ears are congested. We'll be gone until the 13th or 14th! I'm praying we all have a good & safe time and that the a/c doesn't act up in the van!! "See" you all when we get back!



2jsmom -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 9:28:31 AM)

Have a good trip, Amy.



Homegrownkids -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 10:07:32 AM)

What is FOT?



Jenny-Fair -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 11:34:32 AM)

Feast of the Tabernacles...or Festival Of Tents at Ellie's place.



Jenny-Fair -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 11:42:11 AM)

He just found out about the laundry.[&:]



Did I mention Friday was my last day at the new job?

Did I tell you that I ran into a friend from church who also works there and he made me lunch? LOL

No you didn't. Is there are reason that it would be a significant event?



Ellie-Mae -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 12:46:33 PM)

FOT= Feast of Tabernacles.

Thank you all for your prayers for us and those who are traveling. We so appreciate them. I have to work hard to keep my focus straight. We always seem to be under so much spiritual attack before and during FOT. It is so hard to keep one's focus straight when the lens that you are looking through is skewed. I think that I am finally seeing straight and things look so much better than they did.

Pray for good weather. We have been having issues with thunderstorms and the gym sprung several leaks yesterday. It is nice and cool here though and very comfortable.

Yup, it made a difficult day a lot better. He's always very kind. He happens to be Chinese and he was making this really delicious chinese salad for anyone who wanted some, and totally by accident I went into the room he was doing this in.

Well, Nate and I couldn't go to church. We could go now but we'd be pretty late. Which is a bummer after we got up and dressed and everything. The neighbor parked a truck across the end of my driveway and I didn't recognize it. I checked with the people in the other half of my house but it wasn't theirs, so I called dispatch and by the time an officer got here and figured out whose it was and all, church had already started.

Well, if my other car (the one with the terminally ill transmission) has its shaking issues figured out by tomorrow morning, I might just hop in it and run up. [;)] I would feel ok making the trip with that car since it's mostly freeway and there's not much gear shifting needed.

We didn't go to church either. I was just too tired. My dh tends to be rather inconsiderate when I'm sleeping during the morning (he is always up early and feels no need to modify what he wants to do so I can sleep), so I was rather short on sleep for the past few days, and then after the Medieval Faire yesterday I was beat. I just couldn't get out of bed.

We are about to have a funeral. Brandon's hamster died. I think this was the oldest hamster in history - he was at least 5 years old, which is ancient for a hamster. Brandon is ok with it. He had a long and happy life, and it came as no surprise. He hadn't been looking well for the past week or so. I imagine we will be looking for another hamster before long.

I'm not surprised. This happens to many people I know before and during all of the Feast Days.

Friday night I slept on the wrong pillow. The result is that the muscles on the left side of my neck are strained or pulled. I can not lift my head up co it is in line with my shoulders, because that hurts as does reaching too far forward or reaching up. I can bend my left arm up to about rib height, no higher.

I sure hope this gets better soon or I'm not going to be able to dance or do tambourine. And we have Carolyn Hyde in concert this Friday and I am the leader for those dances.



narnia -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 4:01:59 PM)

Did y'all know that Tapestry of Grace has changed their focus? Instead of being literature based, it is now history based.

Ellie, they have a lot of online helps that you might find helpful for your family when it comes to the Feasts and Jewish history.



Ellie-Mae -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 4:24:31 PM)

Thanks! will check t out!



narnia -> RE: August 2008 HS chat: Narnia has news to share (8/3/2008 4:36:13 PM)

This afternoon I came home with the two littlest ones while Paul took the older ones out to buy Jack's b-day gifts from them...the bank sign down the street read 105°F...and it wasn't even the hottest part of our day yet!!!! I sure am glad I am home now and not out there!!!

thanks for that link Narnia
