Cindy that was good to read that you were able to spend some time talking to your two sons. I read what you wrote about us reading the Bible in Heaven. My attention went to a scripture EPh 3: 8 The unsearchable riches of Christ as the Gospel. ( not KJV) so yes I understand better that we will have the Word in Heaven. I do think more communism(hehe what a way to word it) than you do. I know some people will have more deserved jewels in their crown than others will. Sounds like you will keep busy baking banana bread. I'm glad it was helpful. I thought I'd re-posted the article I did on the Bema Judgement but when I looked for it here, I couldn't find it. So I'll re-post it for anyone interested. It's an old one and I'd really like to do a better job, but that will have to wait as I don't have time right now. However, the bible study I'm working on now, will get to this point eventually anyway, so I'll probably just do it over then. here's the old one though: fresh-hope.com/thread/2898/bema-judgment-believers up early, and off to work for 6 am this morning...already went for my getting in some overtime...Ron and I have a busy weekend coming up at church and work wanted me in for Saturday, can't do it, so I be getting the over time in this way... That's great you can still get the overtime if you want it Lulu. I hope the weekend will be fun for you too!

Leigh - to answer your question. Yes, I visited Boston one time years ago when we lived in Pennsylvania. I really liked Boston. Wish I could live there as a tourist. Lots to see.
Still have my friend's dog. I saw on our Sunday School email that she came through the surgery OK. I've been taking the dog to our local dog park so I've been able to visit with friends there.
I cooked BBQ ribs for supper and did laundry. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Good to see everyone here... Have been dealing with a lot of issues lately but we are in the hands of the Lord... Mostly we are worried about Doug... who has certain problems that make it difficult for him to live a normal life... He has had some involvement with the police and the county mental health authorities... and now we have no idea where he is.. May the Lord watch over him... Leigh sounds like you have nice doggy friend on temporary loan... Lulu you are a busy, busy bee. 7 of 9 ...sounds like Polar bear weather...

Hello everyone - sorry to be gone for so long. My mother came for a visit, Wednesday-Sunday, and I was busy beforehand, getting ready for her arrival, and once she got here it was non-stop action, except for Friday afternoon, which was a little slower. I have to ask for prayer because we are going through some trials and it's too much to go into, but just a lot of things on several fronts.
Cindy, I appreciated what you said about the Bema judgment; after posting about that I found a interesting thread about it on RaptureForums, I think it was. Great topic!

Hello ladies and gents.The Lord woke me up very early and then I heard Steven coming in the door ,at 5:15!My mother bear came out this morning.Robin had taken Stevens' phone last night and when he got up at 3:00!,she had deleted his facebook and all his contacts.She said she didn't know how it happened but I wonder why it was his phone and not hers.His dad hasn't been gone 2 months and she thinks he should be over it.He is drinking a lot.And I told him to learn to be a statue and do not show her any reactions.I hate it that at 37 she has to be treated like a teen-ager and only get any feed back when she acts like an adult.I love her so much,but never having had an issue with jealousy I have no way to understand the effect it has on her but I can sure see the effect it has on her AND Steven.Before they split for 5 or 6 yrs.he cheated on her all the time but he has been over his womanizing for yrs.He goes to work and goes home.Straight home.He asks her when ,exactly ,does she think he is doing anything?But the jealousy has no reason.Focus on the Family is talking about anyone with a really bad marriage. I really need prayers for Steven and the boys. Robin isn't thinking about anyone else in the house and they are all suffering for her inferiority complex. Steven and the boys love her to death but she doesn't get praise or positive feedback enough to help her.I hear both sides but I can't advise either.Thank you for letting me vent.Love Ruthanne

Therefore I can never recommend them to anyone. Sad, but true.
I found a good video about jealousy you might like by John MacArthur, who always speaks the truth with love. www.gty.org/resources/portraits-of-grace/V03T53/overcoming-jealousy?Term=jealousyhere's a short devotional he did on it:
Overcoming Jealousy
“Love . . . is not jealous” (1 Cor. 13:4).
Jealousy is an insidious sin that cries out, “I want what you have, and furthermore, I don’t want you to have it.” It replaces contentment with resentment and spawns a myriad of other sins.
The Corinthians, in truth, were jealous of one another’s spiritual gifts. First Corinthians 12:31 literally says, “You are earnestly desiring the showy gifts, but I show you a more excellent way.” The word translated “earnestly desiring” is translated “jealous” in 1 Corinthians 13:4. It means “to boil” and speaks of the inner seething that comes from wanting something that someone else has. In 1 Corinthians 3:3 Paul rebukes them for the jealousy and strife that existed among them.
Paul knew what it meant to be victimized by jealous people. During one of his imprisonments he candidly wrote, “Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment” (Phil. 1:15-17).
Paul’s attitude toward those who envied him was exemplary: “Whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice” (v. 18). He wasn’t motivated by personal comfort or selfish ambition. He loved Christ deeply and wanted as many people as possible to hear the gospel. As long as Christ was being proclaimed, Paul was happy–regardless of his own circumstances or the motives of others. That should be your perspective too.
Love is the antidote for jealousy. When godly love governs your heart, you can rejoice in the spiritual successes of others, even when you know their motives are wrong. But if you seek prominence and selfish gain, you become an easy target for jealousy and resentment.
Suggestions for Prayer:
Confess any jealousy you might be harboring toward others.
Ask God to deepen your love for Christ so jealousy can’t gain a foothold in your heart in the future.
For Further Study:
Read 2 Corinthians 11:2. Is there such a thing as godly jealousy? Explain.

Ruthanne, and I will about that green demon...he's a bad one for sure...he can bring down a good marriage and friendship... well, it has stopped raining for now, the weather people say more later this week, and cooler weather. Lorrie, sending up them 's for you as well... We've already got the cooler weather. It's been as low as freezing here at night already...not that that's unusual... I'm hoping that it's going to stay cool though and not go back to summer again till next year lol

My friend picked up her dog yesterday. Beautiful day here. Didn't do a lot. Hugs to all. She must be doing well, and I'm sure she was glad to see you and her dog again! It was so nice of you to care for the dog for her. Wednesday! bible study day! just kicking back enjoying the morning... You don't have to work today? That's great, hope you enjoy the day!
Not doing much. Just don't feel well and my back is still flaring which makes it hard to do much.

Hello again.Thank you for your prayers. We need them. Cindy,did you mean for me to listen to those messages because you think I am defaming Robin?I admit I was angry she hasn't compassion enough for Stevens loss,But I didn't mean to defame her as a person.I do love them both and am Switzerland when I talk to either of them. Maybe I should have taken it to the Lord before I posted.I am sorry about that,yes.I was merely venting cause I can't tell either of them what the other says and I truly need prayer for wisdom to say healing words to both of them.I did suggest family counseling to both of them and Robin said Steven would never agree to go and Steven said "no way,I don't need counseling".What is with men(most)?I told him he needs someone with objectivity to help them see how they are talking to each other.Robin yells and Steven talks to her with silence.I know that sounds crazy,but he knows she just wants to comfort him and help him through this so he is shutting her out and to me THAT speaks volumes.And the boys hide in their rooms cause they hate it when she screams at Steven or them.She is so sweet and loving and kind at work,to me, and her clients.But we so appreciate what she does for us.At home she gets no recognition.I told her if she was waiting for them to praise her or validate her she has a way to go cAuse they don't do that til they grow up and have to do things for themselves.And I have felt just like her in that area but it only made me a sour mom.Now my son rises up and calls me Blessed.I would never have expected,especially after the puberty me and Steven went through. He hated me for about 6 yrs.But I never let him manipulate me(and boy did he try).He never saw me hurt or uncertain or crying.Not something I do in front of people unless the Holy Spirit brings me to tears.That is the kind of advice I give her.I really need wisdom . It is God's plan for them to be together(I hope)but if it is not I pray He settles it for them.I know I want them together.I can't stand the thought of Steven not having a life partner at the end of his life.Wah-wah-wah,I want to go home!!!But not til I know they are going to be alright.And anyway,I have to stay til Jesus comes or He calls me home as I made a VOW to the Father to never ,ever try to kill myself again.He gave me life and breath and He only knows my expiration date. There was a big melee at my apt about 3 wks ago and Christian was here and it tore his nerves up cause my neighbor was calling me bad names(which I deserved)But she forgave me and told me she doesn't hate me.It was the first thing I did without Larry here and I was in over my head.The lady was in withdrawel from her meds cause she had attempted suicide and took all her meds and then she was in withdrawels and lost her job and all these bad things happened to her and I made it worse.So anyway Christian went home and Robin was screaming in his face so he screamed back at her.Cause he hadn't done anything.She texted Steven at work and when he came home he went right to Christian and said he would treat his mom with respect while living in his house and Christian just lost it and started crying.Steven was instantly aware there was more to the story so he asked Christian to tell him what happened.When he found out he was like"I will never take her side until I hear both sides". That week-end Christian went to Mississippi with robins brother and they all go to church and Robin told me today that since he came back after 2 weeks he has been so nice and helpful around the house and treats her with much more respect.I told her the Lord had probably taught Christian what his part in the fight was about.And both her and Steven are "talking"about getting back to church. I pray for that.They know no other life but the bar scene and my life.They have seen how the Lord is shoring me up and not letting me worry. On a different note,Robin's dad has rented the community building for Thanksgiving and she wants me to come and not be alone that day.But I know only her immediate family.There will be so many strangers there.I want to go but don't know if I can.But how sweet is that for her to invite me? I really need feed-back on this post cause if I am doing anything to contribute to this I need to stop and if I can help,I need to know that.Have I given them bad advice?I so need wisdom as I don't even know who I am as a person without Larry by my side.I don't know what kind of person I really am.I only know I am a child of the King,so am still sheltered.But now all decisions are mine to make and I don't want to make any moves til I know what the will of the Lord is.Cindy ,you are wise having studied the Lord for so long.I promise not to be mad as I know you are about love and the Lords will and not out to hurt anyone.Also,Is reading the Bible on my computer the same as reading it on my table?Also I am ready to study the Bible with you if you will have me and no drama invited,lol.Just tell me what study and I will be there. Larry has been gone 2 months and my brain is still in a fog most of the time and am afraid to make any decisions.Robin is helping me with all the details of changing things to my name and getting forms filled out. I pray all this doesn't sound stupid(hate that word) or blown out of proportion.Sorry for the book.I thought I should get this all out so the devil can't twist it and make me feel worse than I already do.Please,if you have no words of wisdom,please pray the Lord gives me wisdom and strength.I love all of you so I don't feel I am unburdening myself to strangers but to family.I think of you all everyday and wish I could talk more(who would have EVER thought I would be asking for more words?"?Love Ruthanne

Hello ladies, I hope all is well with you. I haven't felt well so I started taking some old medicine I used to take and now I feel better.
Ruthanne, glad your neighbor forgave you and now she and you feel better since there is so much stress on people and when they vent they are not understood at first, but forgiveness is necessary, not only of others but that we forgive ourselves also.

I'm so tired of it all. oh Cindy that would have been great! but no, I had to go to work, but I do enjoy my mornings before hand! gotta get out the door now for my afternoon then gotta come up with something for dinner.... then bible study!

Ruthanne... went for my morning , enjoying my morning I have to leave shortly as Bruce has another doctors appointment. This time with the rheumatologist. (he's both of our doctors) Don't feel up to going, but Bruce wants me to, so I am. I hate these flare ups, but shouldn't complain as they really haven't been all that bad for the last year till this one, at least not as bad as they used to be till now.

hi family.Thank you for your prayers.Me ,Steven AND Robin are going to try to go to church Sunday.The Lord is telling me I need a church family now.He wants me to fellowship with other believers and to worship Him in a corporate setting.I can't imagine how I will get through it but I know with God all things are possible.
Cindy,I used to listen to focus when my kids were babies as hyper-activity was just becoming widely recognized.I would contact them about Jason and got a lot of helpful suggestions.But Now I try to go to bed after they are off the air.So I don't know what they are doing wrong cause I don't listen anymore.I hate it that your flare-up is so bad this time.I know you have to hide a lot of it so Bruce won't feel bad and I can only imagine how that would make it worse.I will pray for you and Bruce when ever the Lord brings y'all to my attention.And of course my regular prayer times. I am still not feeling any grief and that makes me wonder if I even have feelings.But Jesus is holding me up so my feet don't slip and protecting me from the devils taunts.I cast them(smile).See Cindy,I did listen to you.Feel better my friend.Also ,do you pay for this site? Love you all,Ruthanne. Ps,glad you are feeling better Marlene.And yes the Lord got me out of that mess with my neighbor and showed me I need to come to Him before I do anything as Larry isn't here to reign me in anymore. .Sorry I messed up this post but have to go back to bed so I hope you all can figure out the end of it,Love RuthanneCause I can now pay tithes and if I can't get to church,you guys are my church family.

Ladies That is good advice Ruthanne, as you said to wait on the Lord now before you speak since Larry is not there to help you out anymore. At on-line chat we are told to wait on the Lord and type what he leads us to type and not to just type on our own and that way the conversation flow in harmony, and the people do that and it works out well. How was your day yesterday Cindy? It's Friday Lulu, enjoy your weekend. Yesterday I made tortillas and have frozen some of them. I have whole dry corn that I grind down to a powder and like to mix corn meal with flour, but yesterday these were different and tuned out well, I also added cooked lentil, split pea and apple. It worked out well they held together like I added egg, but I didn't, and they taste good.

I was just finishing my reply to Ruthanne when my youngest son Christopher came by to visit with his girlfriend. It was great getting to see him, especially since today is his birthday! But now this window has been open for hours waiting for me to submit my post, so there may be replys I haven't seen yet lol I'll have to post more tomorrow if I can as I've got to get busy with chores now. hi family.Thank you for your prayers.Me ,Steven AND Robin are going to try to go to church Sunday.The Lord is telling me I need a church family now.He wants me to fellowship with other believers and to worship Him in a corporate setting.I can't imagine how I will get through it but I know with God all things are possible.

Focus was good when they first began, but have been picking up more and more worldly philosophies and mixing them with what they teach for quite awhile now. It's sad to see that so many ministries have gone the way of the world. I'm so glad you're going to get to go to church Ruthanne! that's a wonderful answer to prayer for sure, as that's one of the ways the Lord comforts, guides and encourages us.
I am feeling some better today thank you! It sure is a relief! Yesterday was a long day. The doctor appointment took 2 hours and it was only supposed to take a half hour! It was sure a great encouragement to me though as our Rheumatologist continues to be very thorough and has scheduled another half dozen tests for Bruce. I told Bruce the only part of him left that won't have been xrayed, or gone through an MRi was his big toe LOL Ladies That is good advice Ruthanne, as you said to wait on the Lord now before you speak since Larry is not there to help you out anymore.

It sounds like you like to cook, which is good. I like to bake when I can, but I don't like just regular cooking like for dinner. I just can't get into it I guess.
Well, my son just left, so I'd better get this posted and then get busy. I need to work on the bills among other things, but now I'm so far behind, I'm not sure I have time for everything. Oh well, there's always tomorrow!
