I think that the family is paranoid. Certainly you would have returned the horse. Or maybe set him free to go where he may. Mr. Ed, if he was smart, would have followed you.
They're totally paranoid. I don't even know how to ride a horse, and the last thing I need is to befriend a couple of birds to prove I'm as crazy as people think.
Although, it would be a different story entirely if the duck was trainable. I've always wanted my very own fleet of Search and Destroy Ducks.

Yeah, some of the talk in the Bible Discussion forum makes the Bible Code stuff look like small-fry. Some messed up individuals on there. It does get heated at times but we have some good discussions. I need to learn to love God more with my heart, because presently I seem to love Him more with my mind.
Good analogy Tinten
Now seeing this, we by faith are given a new heart right? This new heart needs to permeate through out our old flesh nature right, for by Christ's resurrection we are made new and given this new heart that does not sin, yet our old bodies fight this right? And this warfare is in the mind right?
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

So what do we do?
1 Peter 3:4 but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
hope this might help Brother, as you have helpoed me many times, and thank you

They sound like good bathtub toys. Might create a bit of a splash, though...

But after 30 minutes, a head ache started to emerge. I took 2 minutes out, then dove back in. Head ache begins to surface again.

That is one confusing place, and some of the people there have me convinced that they from a completely different planet. From what I saw and read, there didn't seem to be a whole lot of love in the posts. How does one discuss the Bible and talk about God with out love? That confuses me.

I don't know, maybe I was never gifted to be the 'brains' in the body of Christ, but I can't look at scripture and pull each word apart in a logical sense, or argue that God truly exists based on my knowledge of scripture. When I pick up my Bible and read the Word, I hear a God crying out to His people in love and wanting, a wonderful Creator longing to be part of the lives of His creation. I read love letters that are an invitation to come to know and experience His love for ourselves. I can't even begin to think about God or scripture or my understandings and experiences of Him with out it being linked to relationship, emotions and/or love.

Yeah, I'm definitely not the brains.
Amen Sister not many see the word as a Love story, even in the First especially do not see the love of God in there with all the battles of war, and yet even today still war.
And Sister that is nothing more than the flesh nature fighting God to be God as shown when God delivered God's first chosen out of Egypt, not wanting any man to be in bondage, for all do have free will to choose truth over error
What I see God is angry at is: others taking away others free will choice, and by force in words are trying to be in control using God as their way to get their way.
Galatians 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

I am so elated you stay out of there until called and ready by God to stand in God's unfathomable love to mankind
For I do know and understand how we with our emotional cares, can and do get in the way and that old flesh rises right out of the grave and then a flesh fight occurs and truth in Spirit and truth can and does get lost.
I see this as if "I" get in the way by being intense as to tell truth, then I get too involved emotionally and need to see I am being intensi fried, and need to get some quiet time, to regroup and hear what God tells me.
Now this is what i hear "just love them all" tell them I just love them, and show it by love as in 1 Cor 13:4-13 not by 1-3 So here I am hoping and praying for all those that are caught up in the works programs as I once was to see right on through to the other side, God's pure love side Heaven where Christ is at, and has sent the holy Spirit that led him to us that believe, and there is no certain order to that, none. as those that say one must speak in tongues as evidence or else.
This type of attitude makes salvation dependent upon us mankind, instead of thanksgiving and praises to God that is not able to be understood, unless born again from God by God the free gift to us all that believe God, with no certain Mathematical formula. God calls are we listening? God does just love us all
That is a fact Jack and when see this there is no turning back, at least this is what I see, and know from being like Saul so to speak before he became Paul
Just keep loving Sister those that go against you. Just smile in sure security and love them no matter what. Walk away if you have to, for i know you do not desire to harm anyone
No that is the love of God compassion to all and for all
For how can one claim love unless?
[h=3]Luke 6:32[/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.

Is this not what Christ did died for all, to give us all that beleive new life in the resurrected Christ in Spirit and truth?

Pretty sure it's going to kill me, I feel horrible.

...but what a way to go...

Amen Sister you are just tooooooo funny and thank you for being you

Oh the hidden persuaders of Psychology today using hidden desires of man kinds flesh in us all.
Ever gone to the store with a list and got side tracked and bought things you really do not need, seeing the word sale, save and can do this that with this, a God send we get that idea and buy, buy, buy, and then we need storage to put it all in, not enough room at home. amazing sales, sales, sales, by emotionally creating need thoughts in our minds
time to renew the mind maybe, and how? By our world Churches by reading the world in this worlds interpretations?
Are by God alone in God's view not man's that includes me

Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Ans so by belief do we or do we not have everything we need for life and Godliness? Or do we need that mansion here on earth, when we have mansions ready for us in Heaven? Can we be content to be stripped down to homeless and still trust, I know it is not easy, but can we? sometimes we can get complacent can't we and cry we have no shoes, until we meet another with no feet
staying humble is the key that turns on the love of God
2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My graceissufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Hope we all see this and I see this id truth here in this part of Christian chat and loving it
thank you to all for you alls love to all. the angels are rejoicing
1Cor. 13:4-7

[SUP]4 [/SUP]Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, [SUP]5 [/SUP]doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; [SUP]6 [/SUP]rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; [SUP]7 [/SUP]beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Hi brother. Yes, I enjoy 24 (sometimes the torture scenes are too much for me but that's probably a good thing, don't want to become complacent). I'm watching through the London series. I think we're half way through the series in Australia. Smallville was good but very hit and miss at times. Lex Luthor was played really well. And I was a big fan of Chloe. :)
yes and seeing the end series and how it relates to end times, is amazing to me, as i see this with many a writers like as lost is and even Angel, against wolfram and heart the lawyers. i have a big collection over the years of many series shows, that have by looking past what anyone else scrambles to be evil and commit all to God to teach me truth over error
And so has as a scene in Charmed where Pru was going to kill herself with the thoughts of so not worthy she is going to commit suicide, and it shows the demon behind here encouraging this
I saw this as the Devil encouraging the religious leaders to kill Jesus, using the thoughts that was put in them of Job security
Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I have learned much as I walk in this valley of the shadow of death, and have learned to fear no evil, because God is for me and all if we will believe we will learn and stand in all
The Devil over the years has caused so much fear and created a separation of world Church and this world as if they are better than the prostitute on the street and balk at them, the self-righteous people here in this world
What happened to grace? Who did Jesus hang around? What was he accused of?

Now i am not saying for anyone to go there, as this rule to not is created by this world's Church system. how are they going to get saved, or respond to God's love in truth when many will not go to Church to get help, why?

As this person once said, you want me to go to Church to get help> I already feel bad enough about waht I am doing to survive here now, and you want me to go to Church to feel worse?
Love to all and the prostitute will enter in first before the self-righteous, even if they do enter in
For their works have got to be better than those religious leaders of Christ's day. you think
so in essence whomever I despise, Lord teach the truth in Roman 14, for I do see it is deeper than just about food. That was just the issue that was a problem at that time of writing, so, show me please the depth of your love to us all?

Thanks for reading to all if read and pray we all hear in Spoirit and truth from our loving Savior

I honestly can't remember my result for the Myers-Briggs test. I tend to second-guess those things too often. Judging by what you guys know of me on CC, what would be your assessment? :)
God just love you

I'm pretty good at reading a person's emotions, or at least a change in them, even through text. It kinda drives me up the wall...I start thinking I'm just reading too much into things...ugh. It's a little crazy-making.
Well sis perfect and so you are learning when to hold and when to fold right? I know I am and have no condemnation one for another since God has none for me. That i have received, and a big woe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is given to me and I am undone
We all do hear in the Spirit for father by Christ can and does live in each of us and is:
[h=3]Hebrews 8:11[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]11 [/SUP]and they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

So who teaches us?

I had a nightmare last night. I haven't had one of those in years. I've had bad dreams, and sad dreams where I've woken up crying. But this time, I woke up covered in sweat, heart pounding, and my body was so tense that it took me a few moments to even move. I forced myself to stay awake for at least 15 minutes because I was terrified I'd fall asleep and go back into the dream.

The mind is a crazy thing, sometimes.

I don't know what to do with myself. I'm going to be sorta stuck at someone else's house most of the day. It's a ranch...farm...thing. There's a lot I could do, except it's my ex's family and they kinda all don't like me and they watch me like a hawk when I'm there.

Because, you know, I'm highly likely to tuck a chicken under one arm, a duck under the other, and steal a horse to ride off into the wild blue yonder.

...they caught me within five minutes last time I tried that, I dunno what they're so worried about.
Well, if they're going to be watching may as well entertain them, and yourself, and put on a good show.

There is a serious lack of love in these posts. Some use forums as a means to debate who is the smartest or the most clever. Personally, I rarely understand a word and as a consequence if there is no hook in by the first or second sentence it becomes drivel and I will not waste my precious time reading the rest of the post as I will find it boring, contain factual inaccuracies, warmth and humor. It will not profit me to read or even respond, except in a flippant, off-the-cuff response. There are exceptions, albeit rare.

No, you are not the brains. You are the heart and that is the more vital organ.

Argh, I'm sorry you had a bad dream, Rachel. It sounds like it was a real horrific one, too.
