*** OUR GATHERING PLACE *** Fellowship and Laughter - Welcome to RF!

[Meriweather]

So, we went to lunch this afternoon, and went and did a little Christmas shopping....

The kids are really quiet, we're listening to Christmas music in the car...then I hear Emily..."Daddy?"

"Yes, sweetheart."

"Why did Jesus wear a dress?"

:think: "ummm....he wore a robe baby, you know like Daddy wears in the mornings."

"Uh uh Daddy...his came down to his feet and had pretty colors...Jesus wore a dress."

How can I compete with that?

Joseph's coat of many colors?

Children are priceless.

Bee stings and honey. Good things to keep in mind.

I didn't even think about that...you're probably right...Joseph's coat...

I was telling Rick in the Lodge about this and how she pays attention in church, but she does get things confused...hang on and I'll post her version of the crucifixion.

[CID_0687]

Yeah...she's a trip when it comes to Jesus...she pays attention in church, but she gets things confused...you should hear her story of the crucifixion...

Jesus died aCross the street.

And they put booboos on his hands and feet

(tears falling) Then He died.

But then He went to the doctor and they gave him a shot and he was all better

And three days later He got a rose.

That thought also crossed my mind.

Speaking of poets, Free has been slacking off, too. And speaking of slackers--

Well, I am...but this time is not the case. ;)

:eek:

Save that for the Lodge...well, you might just wanna save that all together.

[CID_0687]

Take my hand, and walk with me a while.
I know your lost now, and frigtened like a little child.
But have no fear, because I'll never leave your side.
I will guide you through the storms of your life.
You say how can this be true, that I would do this for you.
If you just believe, you will plainly see, how much I love you.

I gave my life, so you could have yours.
Between two thieves is where I died.
No it wasn't easy, the hardest thing I've ever done.
But I'd do it all again to save just one.
You say how can this be true, that I would do this for you.
If you just believe, you will plainly see, how much I love you.

Well that is all, the rest is up to you.
The choice is yours, so what will you do?
Let me know, when you make up your mind.
I'll be right here, standing by your side.
I'm not going to beg, and I surely won't plead.
I'll simply just ask, do you believe how much I love you.

Take my hand, and walk with me a while....

Do go on.

Here's mine.

I've made it through quite a span
Without being issued a ban--
No time-outs for me!
From infractions I'm free!
I'm an angelic Hannity Board Fan.

[CID_0687]

Who carried his bans in a bucket

There once was a mod here at Hannity
That said, "Enough of insanity!
The RF is closed
Until civility is imposed,
And you all embrace each other's humanity."

The posters at first were aghast
But the mod's decision held fast.
Time to reflect
About mutual respect,
Resulted in improvement so vast!

So, the moral that's right on the money,
Is that human nature, while funny,
too often will cling
To habits that sting,
Until someone wise shows them the honey!

I remember last year, there was a leak in the roof of the sanctuary at the synagogue where I work. My son walked through the flood to get into the main room, like we all had to do, and he started to cry. He looked at me and said, "G-d broke the promise! There's a flood. :((" One of the rabbis (the newest one, who really didn't have any experience yet) was standing right there, he said to me, "I wanna see how you handle this."

I used to root for the Red Coats while studying the Revolutionary War in history! :cool:

I was "homesick" for England before I had ever been there. I longed to see it the way old people long to go to their childhood homes.

I'm afraid I will never get over it. In fact, the plan is for my friend and I to invade England in 88 days!

Terri, I'm not quite the anglophile that you are, but I do love many books, movies, stories from England...as does my sister-in-law.
I was so excited b/c for Christmas I bought her the series "Rosemary and Thyme" on DVD. Have you heard of it?
As best I know, it's two women gardeners (my SIL LOVES gardening) who solve mysteries. (my SIL loves mysteries.)

oh snap, I didn't even catch that.
I was concentrating on the changes she made to the darling little girl's mouth and jaw line....
why even change the two white flowers for a big red bow???
really? oh my...............

Did anyone see the movie "Little Miss Sunshine"? The movie is about a pretty disfunctional family on a road trip to take their daughter to a beauty pagent. The things that were done to these little girls as far as make-up and hair, and the clothes they wore.......... It was very disturbing.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!

We got another 4 or 5 inches of snow since last night. I have these cute little snowmen lights that are lining my front walk and the poor liddle guys are buried....except the head of one. My nativity (which is large)...baby Jesus, the cow, donkey and sheep are all buried....their little lights aren't strong enough to melt the snow and one camel is just about invisible.....as are my small lighted trees at the ends of my garden and the snowflake lights i have out....

so pretty much....yard decorating was great for about 4 days...lol

I usually turn the nativity off after Epiphany, but I may not be able to this year!

what is Epiphany megs?

Epiphany is the day that is celebrated that the Magi came to see the Christ. It is the 12th day of Christmas.


from Wiki (sorry buf and vir, but it was quickest)

Epiphany may refer to:

Epiphany (holiday), a Christian holiday on January 6 celebrating the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus
Epiphany (feeling), the sudden realization or comprehension of the essence or meaning of something

They use it to refer to the Magi seeing Jesus as it was supposedly is first 'showing' to people who came in faith.

Dear Lord,
We are asking for a miracle. We know this is in your hands. We ask, Lord that your will be done, but we ask Lord, that if it's possible, you grant our prayer. This boy has barely begun his life. Please give him a chance to be a gift to the world, let him be that which shows your mercy. We ask this Lord, knowing that Your will must be done.

Please give comfort to his family and guidance to his care-givers.

Spare him Lord, as you have others.

Your will be done. Amen.

the plows have come through and skimmed the snowbanks to push the snow back from the edge of the road to make room for more. Not a good sign.

Books.

Son got Magic Treehouse books that he can read by himself or to his sisters.
Middle child got Anne of Green Gables (and a locket that came with the book--and the promise of Mommy reading it to her every night I'm home for bedtime)
Youngest got Anne of Avonlea (with a flower necklace and the same promise.)

Well, I'm only doing presents until Thursday--and then only if the kids behave. (Son went sneaking where he knew he wasn't allowed and found one of his presents... which he may or may not get now.)

A Christmas Giftby free2Bwhirling around as soft flakes still blow
wondering where the feathers will go
licking the air for the first taste of snow
watching the sky for shining rainbow

laughing and playin'
having some fun
dancing and swayin'
seeking the sun

grey clouds and cold hover above
while we await his wondrous love
Christmas is coming

the days almost here
remember our Saviour
and who we hold dear
presents are wrapped
and under the tree
Santa's route mapped
for you and for me
what magical things
will we all behold
fabulous rings
diamonds and gold
walk in the wood
if only we could
crunch through fresh drift
presenting a gift
the nature we love
comes from above
no gift on earth
can measure His worth
for we all are Blessed
and we are His guest
in Kingdom above
Thanks to God's Love

Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year. – RayMan

A Christmas Giftby free2Bwhirling around as soft flakes still blow
wondering where the feathers will go
licking the air for the first taste of snow
watching the sky for shineing rainbow

laughing and playin'
having some fun
dancing and swayin'
seeking the sun

grey clouds and cold hover above
while we await his wondrous love
Christmas is coming

the days almost here
remember our Saviour
and who we hold dear
presents are wrapped
and under the tree
Santa's route mapped
for you and for me
what magical things
will we all behold
fabulous rings
diamonds and gold
walk in the wood
if only we could
crunch through fresh drift
presenting a gift
the nature we love
comes from above
no gift on earth
can measure His worth
for we all are Blessed
and we are His guest
in Kingdom above
Thanks to God's Love

Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year. – RayMan

I'd just like to give a shout out to the mods for not canning me long ago. I've been on very many forums with many unfair mods in my days and this is the best forum of all, I would usually be banned long ago. Thank you for keeping the Crazys out thanks for rehabilitating at least one of them. Happy Holidays to all the Mods for putting up with my incoherent rambling rants all year long and hopefully I'll be around for another year. Maybe I'll get my Chi in the right position and Funksway my attitude adjustment. You people Rock! Fair and balanced. Keep up the good work, Happy Holidays. (P.S. If you can find a way to ban Rayman it would be a real nice Holiday gift to me personally.) – Jacob_Rising

I want to take up a collection for jwil. Anyone who is able to participate, feel free to PM me.




I also want to start a novena for his son and for this girl named Sarah that jwil mentioned in last night's update. Any Catholics that want to join me, PM me, please.

[vir doctus]

If I could have afforded it, I would have loved to have bought one of the red phone kiosks (they are supposedly phasing them out, and were selling them)....but where would I have put it?

Still......

While we were still living there, the Crown put the kibosh on selling them, they wanted them bought back and used to replace the new ugly ones. Seems someone got smart about "atmosphere" and what makes Britain more attractive than the rest of Europe. (Though, if you like chocolate, Brugge has a marvelous days worth of 'atmosphere'.)

Hammacher Schlemmer used to sell them, don't know if they still do. Also, I once saw a home that people built where the phone box was the walkway/transition from the formal side of the house to the family room - well done, I thought. (Also heard of one guy turned the phone box into a loo - with plumbing, not drunk style loo...)

[vir doctus]

(Son went sneaking where he knew he wasn't allowed and found one of his presents... which he may or may not get now.)

Dream: I dreamt that I took my youngest daughter with me and we ran away to Chicago, by way of New Mexico and Indiana, and it only took about four hours. When I got there, my other two kids had stowed away. I found it very weird driving on black ice. I stayed with someone I had never met before; he still lived with his parents. I spent most of the time with my kids shopping before driving back.

December Desire

They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. —Revelation 22:5

December is a month when people celebrate miracles. The Jewish tradition of Hanukkah—the Holiday of Lights—commemorates the time when a small amount of oil lasted 8 days and kept the light in the temple from going out. And Christmas celebrates the coming of the “Light of the World,” God in human form—Jesus.

A miracle is generally thought of as something that contradicts nature. But a true miracle is the introduction of God’s supernatural power into our world in a way that suspends the laws of physics as we understand them.

In December, it seems that more of us are willing to suspend disbelief and entertain the possibility that “nature” is not the final authority. Even the non-religious yearn for miracles. Deep down, everyone wants to believe that darkness, disease, and death can be overcome.

Perhaps the most wondrous thing about miracles is that it is God’s nature to do the supernatural. The closing chapters of Scripture assure us that this “December desire” for all to be well will become a reality: “There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain” (Rev. 21:4). God will one day bring to an end the unnatural rule of Satan and begin His righteous reign as the rightful Ruler of the universe. — Julie Ackerman Link

Thank You, Lord, that although we live in a world
where Satan’s shadow obscures Your glorious light,
we eagerly anticipate the day when Your full glory will once again illuminate all creation. Amen.

A miracle needs no explanation to those who believe in God; to those who don’t, no explanation is enough.

[free2B]

good words cid! we of Faith anxiously await the comeing again of the Saviour of man, Jesus the Christ

[Mimiheart]

The miracle of Chanukah is more that the Jews won against crazy odds. There's lots of oil-lasting miracles in the Tenach. ;)

[meggers49]

Thank God for rooves because they mean $$$$.

[Why does the dictionary say 'rooves' is an alternate spelling? Whatever happened to rules?]

welcome to outcome based education. if the plural of hoof is hooves, the plural of roof is rooves..... :rolleyes:

which would mean the plural of Toof is tooves, not teef

which is actually also not correct because the singular is teef and the plural is teefses, similarly....feets and feetses...etc.

Can you ask the synagouge to institute a policy where, if families want "special treatment" for their child(ren) and then don't even have the courtesy to cancel within a decent time limit, they have to reimburse you? Just because you're going the work of G-d, doesn't mean you should have to take the hit financially when someone doesn't have the manners to call and cancel.

It's good to hear you are doing better. If it changes in five minutes, go to bed--which I think I'm about to do--if I can find the energy to walk upstairs. Do you ever get so tired you're too tired to go to bed?

I think I sometimes get so tired that I can't sleep....but I'm usually willing to at least lie in bed (which I've heard isn't a good thing to do if you aren't sleepy)

Toe socks. For some reason it reminds me of a day last summer when the family was together and barefoot--and we spent a half-hour or so comparing toes. Fascinating to discover how many different kinds of toes there were, and who shared the same type.

Of course...I do remember sitting with my grandmother and great aunt when I was probably 10...and listen to the two of them compare feet, and who's feet looked like who's....so I guess it's not completely uncommon...but, if I remember correctly there was alcohol involved in that conversation

Daily Devotional

When I was last helping with the daily devotionals, the focus was on prayers. At the website CID uses (WAIO.org), they have come up with a great acronym: P.U.S.H. (Pray Until Something Happens) Sometimes I find myself wondering how long I should pray because I don't want it to become nagging. "Pray Until Something Happens" has answered my question.

Today's devotional (from WAIO.org) focuses on leadership.

"Work hard and become a leader." Proverbs 12:24

Pitfalls for Leaders

If you are a leader, try to avoid these pitfalls:

(1) Micromanaging vs. leading. Managing people requires an eye for detail, whereas leading involves vision-sharing, goal-setting and motivating. And you must know the difference. When you micromanage rather than lead, morale plummets because people need clear objectives and the freedom to figure out how to reach them. Don't micromanage; it diminishes the sense of "ownership" those under and around you need for good team dynamics and problem-solving. President Eisenhower once said: "Pull the string and it'll follow you wherever you wish. Push it, and it'll go nowhere."

(2) Confusing individual loyalty with team building. It's good to work closely with key individuals, but it's also important for people to stay "connected to each other" (Ro 12:5 GWT). Make sure everybody gets to be on the team, feels valued and learns how to interact with one another.

(3) Being afraid to try things. Stretching people into new areas means they'll make mistakes. While locking them into the same routine may keep them (and you) safe, it takes the motivational wind out of their sails. Being a leader means risking other people's failures and biting your lip as you let them "toddle" out into the unknown. Like a parent who prays harder when their teen takes the family car out for their first drive, you must accept that some challenges which frighten you are liberating to others. Solomon said, "Work hard and become a leader." That raises a question. If you are leading others, who is leading you? The best way to lead, is to follow God and obey His Word!

It is worth the read because it is so much more than what is seen on stage. I am not an emotional person but I was crying through the end of the book for the characters and I was enraged at Hugo for what I thought was going to be a miserable ending...

However, the reason I was able to get through the book was because I first listened to the abridged (5 hours) version on Audible. It compelled me to put the effort into the whole book because I really wanted to know the whole story.
