Yuck...I'd hate that.
On a completely separate note, I quit coffee recently. And Starbucks sent me an e-mail about their new Vanilla Macchiato. It. Looks. AMAAZZIINNNGG. Oh well. I wanted to quit for just one month. No, not for Lent. Just because. I forgot about Lent until people started mentioning it on Facebook.

Maybe this is why Paul said to:
Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So if I, you or you are dead to flesh then the original "I" is gone and God is loving and not fighting through you in love alone. Yes?
And if ignored how will the truth of God's unconditional Love reach the trolls, and I know God does not view them as trolls in the Spirit, so why do we who claim to believe God, if we only love those that love us? How would we be any different from others,
[h=3]Luke 6:32-38[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]32 [/SUP]For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. [SUP]33 [/SUP]And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. [SUP]34 [/SUP]And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. [SUP]35 [/SUP]But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. [SUP]36 [/SUP]Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. [SUP]37 [/SUP]Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: [SUP]38 [/SUP]give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

There is absolutely no way I am going to be able to catch up on this thread.
Also, I'm alive!
...in case you were wondering...
It's been a um...interesting...time, lately.
All settled into my apartment.
My son figured out how to call people on my cell phone early in the morning.
Sometimes I wake up to a kid eating large amounts of chocolate, or else a plunger in the middle of the living room.
On a more serious note, I will be getting the papers to file for divorce and this weekend, discussing fun things like custody and splitting of money/property.
So anyway, here I am, disappearing indefinitely again...
Miss all y'all crazies

Love to you Sister and Children and Ex
We have a bird feeder outside our window on the side of the house. The cats love to watch the birds come. But, that means we also have squirrels who are pigs and want to eat everything and keep the birds away. We've tried putting things around the pole of it, but the snow is so high that they can pretty much just jump up onto it.
So, sometimes I'll bang on the window to get them to run, but that doesn't always work. Something that does work but makes me feel crazy is to slightly open the window and bark like a big dog at them. It sounds like a bloodhound, ha.

That awesome moment when you find your favorite chocolate brand you completely forgot about.
They have a coffee-chocolate bar. You guys have NOOOO idea how excited this makes me. lol It'll be exciting when this month is over and I decide having coffee is okay again. I haven't gone more than a month without coffee for a while now. So yeah. Decided it might be good for me.

Although, we also put some seed up on the windowsill, in hopes that the birds would come right up to the window. However, it is the squirrels that come and sit against the glass and eat the seed. The cats go crazy trying to paw at them and get them. The squirrels will look directly at them, and it's like they know and tease them. We took the screen out of that particular window, so my dad and I have both had the opportunity to slowly open the window and reach out and briefly pet the squirrel before it runs away. Probably not the smartest idea, but their first reaction is to run, not bite.
So, I guess we can't have it both ways, of wanting them gone but wanting them to come up to the window.

Hello homwardbound, I don't disagree with loving our enemies or guiding those whom we think are trolls. I even disagree with judging others saying they are trolls or no trolls, because that's irrelevant from my point of view. HOWEVER, one has to have this wisdom of when to stop talking n' when to say something. And what should be said and should not be said. We have to have this ability to see if the person we are talking to is open to listen or they're here only to argue, which means their heart n' mind are not ready yet to hear the word. So what we do is we did put the seed n' leave it up to God to continue at His own time. All of this is a gift from God who gives us with generosity His grace n' wisdom if we ask for them.
We can only guide people, we cannot change them. God is the only one who is able to change n' make from the rocks children for Abraham. So that's what I meant by my post to 1stStill_water. God bless.

Thanks to ALL who prayed for me! You guys are my lovely prayer warriors!! Today, which is right next day God showed me clear sign that He's there listening and working on it!! Things are not confirmed yet, that's why I'm being vague about it. But I'll make sure to keep you posted n' I want you all to know that I pray for each n' everyone of you when you need a prayer, even if you don't ask me to.
