TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR THE WONDERFUL THINGS HE HAS DONE.......
If you are properly devoted to the Lord Jesus, you have reached a place where no one would ever notice you personally.
All that is noticed is the power of God coming through you all the time.
It’s one thing to go through a crisis with all eyes watching u, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one even paying attention to us. | |

When disastrous losses occur, we are tempted to ask, 'Why?'
but such questions are unanswerable we simply don't know.
What we really need is encouragement, not explanation.
Instead of asking, 'Why?' we need to ask 'What can I do now? What is my next step? | |

| From: joie | Sent: 9/9/2005 10:40 PM | | Yes, that is true. And unless one has 'been there' they will never realize this matter. I have been faced with disatrous loses a few times. I have had to revamp my life a few times. I have had to start over in so many different situations, that sometimes I feel I do not truly know who or what I am.......except that My God has ALWAYS been consistantly there with me, for me, guiding me and holding me up. I feel as if I have lived ten different lives at times. He truly has NEVER FAILED ME YET,,,,,AND I KNOW HE NEVER WILL. To everyone, make sure you have a solid and deep relationship with Him, else your world can be left totally cold, empty, and fearful. He will never let you down. He will take you through it all and bring you out on the side of Heaven. Jo | |

| From: joie | Sent: 9/11/2005 2:53 PM | | Jazz, are you speaking of the one whose picture is on our Whats New page? If so, that is my youngest daughter. My baby girl, Rachel was killed at the age of 8. she was younger than Rhonda. but now Rhonda is my youngest. She is the mother of Eric, Rachel and Leah, my grandchildren. I lost a baby boy at birth, before the birth of Rachel. His name was Eric Jason. Rhonda named her son after her dead brother. He is a member here under the name Searsjason. He could not use Eric because we already have an Eric. He picked up the sears from Eric's nic. My Eric's name is not Jason, it is Robert, after his paternal grandfather. Then Rhonda named her first daughter after her dead sister, Rachel. I hope to publish some more up-to-date pics soon of the children. That picture of Rhonda is up-to date, even though it is not a good one. she is truly a beautiful woman. | |

Jo, how come we cannot not ask why ?
Why do you believe there is no answer for why?

Eric, look again. those are NOT my messages. I was only moving Jazz's things to the trivia board. We have asked him to post this little stuff to the trivia board but he will not do it. We do not want the General board filled with these little things, for it makes it hard to find past things when we look for them. Also we want the General board to be filled with serious study of the Word of God. You know when I first started reading this again right now, it also threw my mind. I was thinking, Now when did I just re-post Jazz's words and not add mine? I just do not do this. I was at first thinking that the person who used to sign in as me was at it again. Then I realized what this is: I was only moving this thread from the General board to the trivia. When Larry moves them he just picks up the entire thread at once. But I do not do that. I move each post separately. Sure takes up a lot of time and unnecessary work. So ask Jazz. That is his words, not mine. I have never said do not ask why? I ask it all the time. |

Jazz, you are like a blind person slapping at flys which are not there. Now just take any of my messages, pick any part of them, and show us what is foolish in them. And just what would you consider wish or important to study about? Maybe how to set up some carnival? Or how to decorate a green tree and call it properly 'commemorating' some silly idol gods birthday? Or perhaps how to follow some district elder? Maybe we should figure out what is ok to do on Saturday? So what of my messages do you consider FOOLISHNESS? I truly would like to know. I have not seen you open up an important subject yet. What do you teach? or argue? You are always at a loss for intelligent words of any sort. why can't you discuss the Word without hurling unfounded and stupid accusations? HUH? Is it so frustrating to be unable to disprove my messages? yet you just hate the truth you see there! |

Tell me, what is the important parts of the above messages of yours? Just what were you attempting to 'teach' us? I have read them again, and I truly do not see any sense to them. How are they going to teach any Scripture? oor is it the teaching of Scripture which you consider foolishness? I think this is the answer. You certainly do not ever teach any Scripture. guess you are too caught up in fixing carnivals. |

The things Jesus did were the most menial of everyday tasks, and this is an indication that it takes all of God’s power in me to accomplish even the most common tasks in His way.
Can I use a towel as He did? |
I caught this when you first posted this stuff, but for the same of not badgering you, I left it alone. But now since you speak with such a 'forked' tongue against my true teaching messages, I will address this foolishness of yours: So Jesus only did menial everyday tasks, eh? So I suppose taking a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish and feeding multiple thousands of people from that tiny bit of food, is menial everyday tasks? Then-- do you do that? Does your cult? Opening the blinded eyes,,,,is this something you engage in every day? How bout your cult? Do they ever open blinded eyes? Healing the sick, the cripples, raising the dead.....etc....all these are just menial everyday tasks? My ,my. Turning water into great wine? is that everyday menial task? And that thing about using the towel as Jesus did.....no you already proved with your words that you cannot handle that one.......gird yourself with that towel and wash the disciples' feet! Go to it, Jazz. Get down there, humble your haughty self, and wash those saints feet and WIPE THEM WITH THAT TOWEL. Then you may must move up a bit spiritually! |

Now He says we should show those around us exactly what He has shown us.
Do you find yourself responding by saying, "Oh, I will do all that once I get on the missionary field"? ]jazz]
Now notice your discrepency here. on one hand you say we should show those around us exactly what He has shown us. Now He says we should show those around us exactly what He has shown us.
Do you find yourself responding by saying, "Oh, I will do all that once I get on the missionary field"? Now that is all I am trying to do... show the sheep of God the glorious things God has shown to me. I asked him years ago to allow me to feed his little sheep. He has answered that greatly and given me wonderful revelation of his truth. I am only trying to show this to others....I am not even thinking of going to some foriegn mission field......I am trying to reach the one here at home. It is just as great, just as in need, just as blinded and away from God. Yet you do not wish to see me show a thing of which God has shown me...you fight me every step of the way.....then you post this stuff here and say that is what we are supposed to do........what is it with you? marbles floating around in your head, sounds like. So why are you not trying to show us anything God has shown you? Does he not ever show you a thing? guess not, God does not speak over TV or carnivals. |

Jazzz, how is your every day life going now? seriously, I ask. How is that lovely wife of yours? Did she recover fully from her injuries? I sincerely hope so. Please, tell her I said hello and God bless you and her. How are your sons? Hope all is well with them and you. Is your son still in service......seems I remember he joined a while back. Do you think the world around Paul and Peter and of course the others of their day.......did not notice Paul and Peter? Was that crowd which wanted Paul dead,,,were they noticing Paul, or was it just so much of God in Paul? |
