thanks F.O.D., that's what it means ;) I always try to remind mysef to be "thankful" How many times have you heard a mother say to her boy... whadda ya say to the nice man? heh Anyway, I was concerned that this board would move even slower than RDC, God forbid! oops! sorry.... I'll try to be on my best behavior, eh? I am quite familiar with the Bible and certain passages, having been raised in a pretty religious family.... And I do appreciate reading scripture that's related to present day situations. I feel that you're very knowlegeable with the Bible and am looking forward to your scriptural "examples" in the future. Don't ya feel the pressure, already? hah It was Ben's posts though which brought it all together for me..... and it's wasn't until "today" ... almost 6 months after I read his first posts on the topic, that I realized what my "fascination" (with revival) was all about. Also, I think I needed to find out how he was "progressing" with his own "journey", before I ventured further ;) I'm also separated from my y/f and dont get to talk to him very often. But when I do, it's usually for a period of several days at a time, (in person that is :) during a visit. Man, talk about the up and down emotional rollercoaster. You know what I mean, don't you? I have no problem with the "gospels" in most regards and while I dont agree with a lot that the "church" has to offer, I dont doubt the existance of the man Jesus or the teaching he brought to this world. So you see, I have one foot in and one foot outside, and as a result I seem to be stuck. Now ... How Does One Go About Contacting Their Local Church ... and asking for a family ... With BOYS (like Ben's) to guide me towards the light? Perhaps you can offer me some advice .... F.O.D. Yeah, your memory is just fine ..hehe I don't know if Ben will recall discussing this with me though.. after all, it's been almost 6 months ago, but for me it's like yesterday. ....and has been on my mind ever since. I know I am not alone.... so why do I feel like I am? For the Love of God! tks |
