Hello everyone! I thought that I would start a new chat thread to ring in the new year, a little early! The title wouldn't fit, so I squished it in. lol Chat #16-Do to other as you would have them do to you. Luke 6:31 NIV
Anyway, I quoted a few of the last posts from #15.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Cindy. Merry Christmas Fresh Hope! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I am doing much better, the cold to warm weather is not helping my bones as of late. Lol. You have to have a sense of humor with that statement. My Doctor removed the cast on my right leg and I can at least use crutches to walk. My hand cast is coming off on the 4th of February. My left leg still healing but not as painful as of late. The police have the 19 year old still in custody . His alcohol level was high enough to land him in jail and that's where he sits. I said a prayer for him last night. I am doing ok. Shirley is ok. Please have a wonderful Christmas! I'm sorry that you are having to enter the new year in such a way, Mark. But glad to see you're on the mend. And glad to see that the person, who hurt you, is still in jail. That'll keep him from doing this to someone else too. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas in spite of it all, and glad that Shirley is OK.
Happy New Year to you both.
I spent Christmas eve with the mom and the dad we have meundo for breakfast it local ma and pa Mexican restaurant I been binging watch Incredible Dr Pol I probably kick back I got some clothies sock and new seen on tv product called Huggles kinda remind me of snugglie it like coat has sheepskin in it I been seeing this comerical on Gettv and over the air channels Sounds like you had a nice Christmas with your Mom and Dad. Happy New Year!pray all had a great day! Ours was pretty lazy, got together with Ron’s step dad for Christmas supper! Was wicked good! Made it home just when the rain started again! Pretty wet Christmas here in Southern California! I'm actually happy to see you had rain. Too many fires lately. Happy New Year!Cindy, thank you and your family for sharing your Christmas with me. That was a very special treat. One that I won't soon forget.
I'm not really into Monopoly. Never could appreciate that game, but have played it many times, over the years. But, the version that you were playing looks like it would have been fun to watch. But, not long after we hung up skype, I sat in my chair and went to sleep. I wasn't feeling very well on Christmas Day. I kept getting spasms in my back and my gut and the only way to make them stop was to stay in my recliner, and I fell asleep. We had a good Christ-mas.
We especially had fun teasing our daughter....( we did give her some 'nice' presents too) But....
She does not like opossums....
soooooo like any good parents, we gave her the perfect gag gift. Last year we found a cute stuff toy possum She hated it.... Yeah!! Mission accomplished LOL
This year, we knew that poor stuffie ( last year's) was lonely :(
And wouldn't you know.... Hossanah had texted her dad on the 23rd ,about a big ugly opossum in our yard That was perfect segue for this year's gift!!
I wrote her a note and taped it to the wrapped package.... It went along the lines ( in part):
Your dad found the possum you texted him about and guess what? He was looking for you... all dressed in his Christ-mas best Now you other one won't be lonely... etc.
This one actually looked more like a big rat hahaha But stylin in fancy clothes She gave a proper scream and said: Last year's one was actually a LOT cuter LOL
Then I got her another gag gift.. as its only proper to prank her twice
She has 2 black cats... but we have a beautiful 'orange' one.
She pretends to dislike it based on the fact, there can only be ONE red head in her world, and that would be herself!!!
So another note..... saying I knew she would sleep soooo much better with this big tee shirt.... and I could understand she was so overcome with joy she would be speechless.....no need to thank me :)
A lovely orange Garfield tee.
Isn't that why we have children?
And we gave the others gifts too but its so much fun We are thinking that it is inevitable that the two stuffies will have had babies...right?
we have to find a bunch of little baby possums She knows it coming...I am sure, she is pretty ackamai too!!!
Thus, I know she is waiting with bated breath :)
But we did give some 'nice' gifts like a silver ring with Jesus written on it, and a gift cert etc.
Barbara you crack me up! I'm glad you all had so much fun! Remember paybacks! Happy New Year!I was not feeling well yesterday, but today I am feeling better. Something strange happened yesterday concerning the weather. It stopped raining and was cold outdoors, I have to force my dogs out of the home, so they would pee, and because they would not leave the steps, I went outdoors to walk with them. I was mopping up some water and my hands were so cold that I needed gloves, so I put my hands in my pockets, then had to come indoors to get some gloves, but then went back outdoors with no gloves. I was outdoors about 15 minutes and the temperature quickly warmed up, I could feel warmth coming from my hands, they were no longer cold, I could have even taken off my coat and the dogs wanted to just lay down on the steps and not go indoors. I have never before felt such a quick change in the temperature like that. Anna, that WAS weird. And eerie. Sounds like one of the creepy sci-fi movies about weather events. Happy New Year!It raining hard in my area least I got home in time before rain reallyyyy start Grapevine I 5 currently closed right now they got a lot of snow and ice This is worst Christmas day night storm I seen in my lifetime I'm sorry the storm was so bad! Good thing you got home before the rain was really bad.That was a big man that that police officer so easily took down to the ground. I thought I was going to watch a chase, that was a short clip. cool
If anyone has a Ross department store near them and are interested in a clearance sale, I have info on that, one day sale, I could pm you the info.
I don't have a Ross in my area. As a matter of fact, there really isn't much at all, in my area. If I want a lot to choose from, I actually have to drive to Evansville Indiana. The first city beyond the KY border. Weird huh? I'm from Indiana, live in Kentucky, but to shop decent stores, I have to drive to Indiana. So, I either shop online, or not at all. Usually not at all. I just added some more graphics and there are now 3385 graphics uploaded in 49 albums. But I'm only up to the "L's" so have quite a way to go still!
Cindy, LOVE your graphics. Thank you!I am soooo glad you are continuing to add more....that way, when I get to trying them, I will have lots to choose from :) yes, there's lots!Happy Birthday, Leigh! Hope you have a great day! We went to our son's house for Christmas and had fun. His wife baked a standing rib roast instead of a turkey. It was good and I enjoyed the change from baked turkey. We've had a lot of turkey lately. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Hugs!
A standing rib roast sounds really yummy! Sounds like you had a very nice Christmas gathering! Happy New Year!
Thank you for the Christmas card. And Lorrie, thank you for your card too! I actually bought 2 boxes of cards, this year, with every intention of doing a super duper Christmas mailing! But, did I do it? NO. I used to be so good about sending cards.
Happy Birthday, Lorrie!

Cheryl!!!! Put a hand over your mouth! Hossanah might hear you about paybacks!!

"Children shall NOT pay back parents!"
It goes only one way ( arms folded an nodding am I)
But, however, I now, know..... NOT to prank Cheryl.....

Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is good. Its been really hot over here in Oz, we've been averaging about 102F for the last couple of weeks and another few weeks of it coming up. So far the fires have burnt about 10x the area of LA / Sydney and still going.
There is something I've been wanting to mention.
The famous rugby player who had a big legal battle to basically have freedom of speech as a christian, Israel Folau, said that the massive fires we've been having are Gods judgement for Australia forsaking God and allowing same sex marriage.
Naturally, the demonically-driven media went completely ballistic and started screaming all sorts of awful stuff....people just seem to love their sin it seems.....going from bad to worse....but I started to wonder.
Interesting, in keeping with a fire based theme in all this ( although I didn't know it at the time ), I recall saying to my wife the Folau case when it went to court a month ago, before the massive wild fires started, that this taking a Christian to court for just quoting a broad scripture ( 1 Cor 6:9 ) which just *happened* to have verse stating homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God ( along with adulters, murderers etc - he didnt appear to single out homosexuals ) - this is a fire that will just burn everyone who tries to put it out, because God has lit it. He did win his case, with an apology. Praise God!
Interestingly, the wild fires we've been having here just seem to keep going and going. The air is now toxic, thick with smoke in our 2 main cities ( Sydney and Canberra ) these places also just happen to have our countries largest homosexual populations in them.....with hot ash raining down on these places.
The fires just aren't stopping though and more really hot weather is on its way.
Interestingly, we hear no public repentance for the countries' sin, no acknowledgment of God and His sovereignty, just stiff necked refusal to acknowledge sin. And so the fires continue.
I don't know if this is Gods work, although its amazing to see it all happening and definitely I'm not ruling it out.
When I mention God, people scoff, but you can also see a moment where they catch themselves, you can see the brief doubt in their scoffing. Some commentators I'm sure have described it as biblical, as I dont remember half the state of N.S.W. on fire ever before. Anyway I wanted to mention this, its like nothing I have ever seen in my life, its just consuming the state of NSW, and perhaps this is what its like to live in a country under Godly judgement that has forsaken Him?
It makes me shudder. Imagine what the lost and those who reject of Christ must be thinking?
Cheers
S.

The fires have burnt 10 times the size of the ground Sydney covers, and are still going, about 14,000 square miles.
Whole areas of the state have ben covered in choking smoke for weeks....
Koalas have been affected, but a lot of other wildlife too.

Steve all of what you said, has crossed my mind, but I pushed it aside, because I was thinking "out of school". But, I can't (or won't) push out the fact that God created the rainbow for Noah, as the sign of His covenant, that He would never destroy the earth by flood, again. The rainbow. The sign of His promise. What faction of society has stolen that rainbow symbol? This has always bothered me. Then, one day, many years ago, I was reading a discussion about this (It might have been on the old board, but can't say for sure). Someone asked, "Well, then if it won't be by flood, then what will it be?" My first thought was Matthew 24:7 KJV For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Someone said, "FIRE! He will destroy the earth by fire!" I didn't comment, but didn't forget that, either. And nor did I search for anything else, in the Bible, to see if that is what the Lord says. I am glad that you brought it up, because it is important! Hey question I know summer is there in OZ how bad is OZ fires is almost like OZ version of Camp fire up in Northern California I hear it destroy home and Koala population BTW remember that news story I post about 10 year girl found dead on airplane after taking off from LAX Well turn out the girl died of heart attack might be under liing cause NO KIDDING LA Cornoer DUH I know that a 10 year old, with a heart attack, is not unheard of, but I'd be curious to know if her family knew that she had a heart condition. My son had a heart condition at 3 years old. A defect in his heart that he was born with, and he almost died. It caused me to be ever cautious about what activity he was into, but wonder if I'd really even know if he was having trouble. It's just one of those things, that I think about, when I hear of a tragedy like this.

Anna, we did it again! We are both online, at the same time!
I think it's pretty cool! Wouldn't be great if this continues and it will be like the old board, when we are all posting at the same time?
You're getting snow? Wow, your weather sure is getting more and more weird!! You caused me to look outside, before I replied, to see what it is really doing out there. It's been raining since yesterday, here. And yes, more rain. I need to go do something, today, and if that rain is a cold rain, I'm considering not going out. But, it can't be avoided. I should have left already. Reason being, is when it rains here and gets cold, it all turns to ice, with very little warning.

Hi Cheryl, yes the destruction of Sodom and Gamorrah, a deeply wicked society, comes to mind. Perhaps this i Gods warning to thise who will hear? Australia is just on fire..... NSW our main state has been badly burnt ( 14000 square miles, and getting worse ). Now South Australia may go up mobile.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-30/catastrophic-bushfire-conditions-thunderstorms-forecast-for-sa/11831890And Victoria, our other main state ( which has a govt like that of CA ) is also on fire.... mobile.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-30/victoria-braces-for-day-of-extreme-bushfire-danger/11831632Is the land that God created, now vommiting out its sinners? Australia embaces gender madness, infanticide and gross sexual sin. Australia now appears to persecute Christians for posting online scripture, Gods word, that might just happen to lovingly correct peoples minds. Gods creation itself will not be silent on sin.... “‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. 25 Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But you must keep my decrees" ( Leviticus 18:24-26)

Wow Steve....just wow!!! that is a lot.... a lot of fire....
Are you okay???
I know you said the air is toxic.....not good either.
Yes, I immediately thought of the destruction of Sodom and Gamorrah!! Of course our country is going the same way ( well I guess we may be divided 50/50....but not good And I think Europe is similar, if not worse Even places like the Middle East, have the same things going on, only they seem to either pretend such things do not happen, or if its gay men, they push 'offenders' off buildings.
But you are right, people will not even consider the bible, they love their sins so much!
And the other thing I think of is how fast the End times have been sped up!!!
Just when I think it can't go faster or get worse, and it goes into warp drive.
If you can, please keep us posted on the fires etc. We seldom get much news of what is going on in other parts of the world here in the states.
Thank you for the info you have given us so far.
I am worried about you and your families safety, but there is also the aspect, that sees once again.... God's Word is true.... and coming true ....the predictions of the end times, etc

We're in the middle of another storm, but this time it's an ice storm. We're getting snow, freezing rain, ice, and snow....and it's supposed to last through tomorrow night. Not good.
@cheryl Thanks for starting the new thread Cheryl!
I'm glad you were able to join us for Christmas. That made it even more special for us! I still can't figure out any way we could have set things up so you could have seen anything but people's backs when we were playing the game, and that's all we did besides eat. I'm sorry you weren't feeling well and hope you're feeling better now. (to be honest, I wasn't feeling all that great either, but then I haven't felt completely better since I got sick in August.) Oh, I almost forgot to tell you- I got the new $400 a month inhaler a couple of days ago and have been using it. Don't see any difference yet though.
You're absolutely right about how the Lord will finally destroy this earth. We're told that very clearly in His Word: “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives” (2 Peter 3:10–11)
sw7777 I'm sure the Lord is behind the fires since He is in control of all things. It's sad that it's come to this though, isn't it? I'm studying Isaiah at the moment and it just blows my mind how much the world is like what Isaiah says. And of course, Barbara and I are doing a study on the End Times including the rapture, Tribulation, Millennial Kingdom, etc in the Bible study forum. (everyone's welcome to join us there too!) Some of the verses that really speak to me are these: “The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.” (Isaiah 3:9) “These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to listen to the LORD’s instruction. They say to the seers, “See no more visions!” and to the prophets, “Give us no more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things, prophesy illusions.” (Isaiah 30:9–10) There's more, but those will do for now!
We're up to 4212 images now, but that's before I add more today!

Steve That is sad to read that so much of Australia is on fire and for so long, with people losing their homes and breathing smoke, probably dying from smoke inhalation, I will be saying prayers about that situation. Seven, Nate King Cole sings to slow for me to like the singing, he does have a nice singing voice. I like that Twilight Zone video. I have been using my instant pot to make soups, only takes 10 to 20 minutes to cook and I can be outdoors while it cooks and when done it switches to keeping the pot warm.

Hi Im OK, but Australia just seems to be burning *everywhere* People are now dying. Please can you pray for us.... I'm just so saddened by all of this. And yes, I've been praying for the Lord to keep you safe and all the other true Christians in your country. I've been reading about Sodom and Gomorrah. Not finished with it, yet. A lot to take in, all at once. They didn't teach much about this in the Churches that I've attended, over the years. Wondering why. And I've attended mostly Baptist Churches, some Lutheran, LDS, non-denominational, and one denomination that I thought was a Christian Church, and was NOT!! (Do not be fooled by a Church that calls themselves "Church of Christ". They don't even celebrate Christ's birth, or His resurrection!!) Anyway, my point........not ONE of these "churches" teach the whole Bible.
But, I quoted you to let you know that I'm praying.

I know this for a fact they cut a lot of part out of Twilihgt zone on Sci fi channel compare to over the air channel Decades tv network I just finishing Watching Obsolate man they cut some of verse on Sci fi channel version
For instance on Decades tv sceen they show Burgress Medaith reading the chapter only one chapter on sci fi version
MY suggestion watch uncut and uncensored that my beef with my Sci fi channel they blaming on the commercial I think it other reason they don't want offend it own by Comcast NBC Universal
Get this it known fact that Universal studio was found by Carl Lamerle Sr who brought classic horror movies like Frankstein and Dracula his Mama want him be Jewish rabbi in Hungary but Anti semtric forces force the family to NYC then LA try make money

Hi everyone Thank you for your prayers. A large town called Batemans Bay in NSW came within a whisker of being wiped out as 200 foot flames circled it ( 200 feet is not a misprint - once the fire gets going in the tall timber it creates a blow torch effect ). Its only by Gods grace it survived, although they lost 20 houses, then the wind changed direction - the power of prayer at work! Thank you. Here is the reality on the ground - spare a thought for these *volunteer* fire fighters ( in the video ) who havent stopped for days.... The South Coast from Bega to Nowra is pretty much isolated from the outside world today. Gippslanders must have thouht the gates of hell had opened on them. People were camped on beaches because it was the last refuge they had. I heard one man who was an svowed athiest saying he stated praying to God snd Jesus! As they say, there are no athiests in fox holes..... We have a series of fires burning, the like we have never seen before. It seems we are under a firey judgement for our nations unrepentant sin. The BBC ( UK news service ) is a very good summary. www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-50956318edition.cnn.com/2019/12/31/asia/nsw-fire-truck-video-scli-intl/index.htmlA big Thank You to all American and Canadian fire fighters who have come over to help us - we deeply appreciate your service. Humbly, Steve.

Hi Mark, I hope you and Shirley and everyond here has a great year. I found this - world tennis Champion and now Pentacostal Pastor, Margaret Court, telling it like it is..... edition.cnn.com/2019/12/31/tennis/margaret-court-lgbt-transgender-tennis-spt-intl/index.html"(CNN)Former tennis champion Margaret Court has reiterated her controversial opinions on the LGBTQ community and transgender athletes, claiming LGBTQ teaching in schools is controlled by "the devil." "Court, a Pentecostal pastor in Western Australia, made the comments during a sermon at the Victory Life Centre church which she helped found. "In the video of her sermon posted on the church's Facebook page, Court hit out at people who change their birth sex genders because "God made us that way." ""You know, even that LGBT in the schools, it's the devil, it's not of God," the 77-year-old said. ""Children are making the decision at seven or eight years of age to change their sex, no, just read the first two chapters of Genesis, that's all I say. Male and female," Court said. ""It's so wrong at that age because a lot of things are planted in this thought realm at that age, and they start to question 'what am I'.

Hey question how Aussie mascot the Koala bear they saying on BBC world news they be on brink of EXINCTION Hi Seven, Koalas are not on the brink of extinction. They have reduced numbers , but their main killer is bushfires. Most of our recent bushfires are bad, due to greenies in our local county govts stopping proper hazard reduction burns. That is the main problem. Kangaroos are so plentiful we would happily export them!
