I feel like I'm watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show this morning with this discussion! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Why is everyone but back getting offended, here? I'll delete my posts if you think it is in backs best interest though, Mimi?

Hi Charlotte...
I've never seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
However, my first appointment today is at 3p.m. about an hour away. (Wonderful couple I've met once before... so we're already friends.) And I have some time. I could be doing paperwork at my office... but there's some humor here... and laughter does good like a medicine.
FH, reminds me in the Lord where my weakness is and where my strength is... which helps me immensely...
And, otherwise, there's amusement on the thread.
Two positives.

Josie, I am "over the top"... which you picked up on. lol I can add this. I will meet people... and I'm so empathetic... they will tell me things about their hopes and dreams, struggles and trials. Then, I'll just want to encourage them. Sincerely, people will meet me... talk a little bit... and it's not unusual for them to say, "Are you a motivational speaker?" What's funny, and ties in, is that one guy at work says to me... and says that I'm so motivational and encouraging... he calls me... "Antionette Robbins". lol Tony Robbins.... female version... but not, I repeat not, a trnasvestite. ROFLOL Thanks, Josie... you made my day! That's funny! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Weaver:

I feel that we are witnessing and hopefully not fostering a breakdown.
Forgive me if I'm wrong.
I want to be wrong.

I know I'm feeling much better... I just "doubt my strength"... based on past experience.
Today is a new day... and things are getting better... and God is working.
That was a very timely word, FH... and I think it was the Lord pointing His finger saying, "Go there."
Yep, the Word of God and prayer.
Cures everything.
Engrafts strength and endues with power from on high... strength I haven't had in the past... but it's a new day.
Thanks for starting the day with a good meditation... and a focus on where to let the Lord work in my life. You're quite welcome, Back. That's what the Lord wants His Word to be used for, not just to be read, think "that's nice," and then put it back on the shelf. God wants us to make it a part of us, to work with us in the process of Sanctification (of conforming our lives more and more to one of Christ-likeness). And when we occasionally fail on some point, like a patient Father, He instructs us through the Holy Spirit to illumine our understand and "correct" our path. With respect to this part of your post: " I just "doubt my strength"... based on past experience," let me share with you my "life verse" from all this traumatic experience. Perhaps you might find some of what you are looking for in it too. "I can do everything through him (Jesus Christ) who gives me (His unlimited) strength." (Philippians 4:13 NIV) Add that to what preceded it: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." (Philippians 4:8-9 NIV, emphasis added) "Doubting" from time to time is human, but God's promise here to believers is unwaivering and always available. All we have to do is believe Him and take what He provides, because He knows we have limited strength on our own. God bless.

Hi Josie, Do not delete your posts... What if people struggling with sexual issues come on this board... struggling with homosexuality? What? Aren't we to love and accept them? What would it say? That it's wrong that we have had positive things to say? And I have a sense of humor. I think it's AOK that Josie took my "over the top" personality... which a lot of people can't pick up over the pc... and thought that. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm still laughing. I'm amused. Not offended. Not in the least. Good things came out of the question, imo. That's like when I meet people in person and they ask if I'm a motivational speaker. My personality does NOT translate across the pc!!! That's all it says to me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

"Antionette Robbins". Oh, pleae come to my office. We need you. You'd be better than the stiff, double/boubles some of these people are having during their lunch hours. No just kidding.LOL

My best friend and I used to go when we were teens. They used to show it at this beautiful old theater in Houston. Later on the theater was turned into a BookStop. Now it's been sold to developers even though the historical society tried to save it. Such a shame. It had the beautiful velvet curtains and chandeliers and all. I met a lot of interesting people there and it helped shape me into someone who loves all humans. So, RHPS isn't a bad thing. And the songs are a lot of fun to sing! You should rent it. Or, you can borrow my copy! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

At my office, I walk in... and the crowd gathers. Everyone sits down... and I amuse them... and they are inspired me too... and think I'm so lucky... that my "good luck" will rub off by association. You're the first really fun person who treats me over the pc like people do in real life (like not offended by my "over the top" persona.. I gotta tell more story!!!). And I can't wait to tell the guys at the office what you thought!!!! ROFLOL!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey Josie, Oh boy... I gotta go to work. My office has called. (I didn't answer... LOL.) Another reason why not to go into traditional managment... I set my own hours - and couldn't do that as a manager. But WILL be able to... when the job is structured as I'd like. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Oh boy... I'm actually having FUN on the MB site!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi Im... You know, there are opinionated people on this site who go ape . Please feel free to IM me. I just don't like strife... and I'm just not a person who believes that all marriages are truly marriages in the sight of God (like the Bible says). Some are nothing more that "state codified" ongoing adultery, imo. But I really don't want to fight... and some people don't want me to have a personal opinion... of my own life. So, how bout we table that meaty discussion? For the sake of peace? And a happy thread??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> God bless.
