The riff-raff always seem to slip between the cracks.
Ok, so I am new to this word to a point so I looked it up: "Riff-Raff" Means: scum, good for nothing.

So Gods unsaved are scum and good for nothing in your mind? Or is it time to reevaluate our visions and align them with His eyesight - to remain in proper alignment with God thru righteousness and righteous living? How does God see them? In His power, which cannot be toppled, in loving them? His Children - all of them - are weak compared to Satan - but our Lord is stronger than Satan - thus we can defend our brothers and sisters - but it must be through the power of His unconditional love. Or His power is not in it!

I understand the problem all too well. They are shooting flaming arrows at the brethren - yet, I say again - there is wonder working power in the life of His Saints. And God is in charge of everything. We should pray as to what He wills to do - then allow unconditional love for those people who Satan is using to be more loved not less loved in the power of His Might!

Before we walk, we must sit in things already accomplished in Christ or our walk is thru self-awareness.

I have now turned my refrigerator back on, and hope the motor no longer labors to do whatever it is it needs to do to auto defrost. I had it turned off all week to allow everything to completely melt... I tried turning it back on a couple of days ago and it made a racket, so I turned it back off again, assuming it had more defrosting to do :p All is quiet now, and this is good. I had to throw some food out, and had forgotten, too, that there was one small packet of chicken legs sill in the freezer :eek: Oh, well. I hate wasting food, but a properly working fridge is more important to me at this particular point in time :D The chicken legs were not much of a loss financially, at least, since I had gotten them in a pack of about 24 for around five dollars, and eaten most of them already :)
My fridge works alright except the ice maker and water dispenser quit working a couple weeks ago. Now I gotta call Lowe's and get an estimate.

Shame about the chicken legs 'cause I like chicken. Did chicken last night. It wasn't home cooked because it came from Costco but still very good. My wife made some rice to go with that. The rice was cooked perfect but she dashed some weird spices in it to jazz it up. Still not bad, just strange. I told her it was yummy 'cause that's what good hubbies do.

She has bottles and bottles of all kinds of spices that she has collected through-out the years, most of them before I appeared on the scene. I prefer to use just a few spices and not a zillion, half of 'em I never heard of. I think that each week I will toss one of the spices in the trash that she probably will never use. That way she won't notice what's going on. The spices need some serious editing.

Gonna clean out the freezer too 'cause some of that stuff has been in there who knows how long.

I'm good at organizing. Too much clutter bothers my mind. Time to clean house.

I actually prefer a "double edged sword"! :D
I actually prefer the Word which acts like a double-edge sword because it is Alive and Active.. :)...

Amen - this is what I am learning too.

What you have said is very true indeed. Now, I gotta google flotsam and jetsam. :)

What is going on with all these 911 Black Magic posts in Bible Discussion Forum?!!!!

I've been replying with 'JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!" yet, my reply does not post. What's going on?
It might be riff-raff but then again, perhaps flotsam and jetsam might be a more accurate depiction.

I just received a call from my work place from a colleague on call telling me another colleague/friend's husband died this afternoon, he too happened to be a colleague
So sad... sigh
Death can be a sad thing, especially if unexpected. I will say a prayer for the family.

On second thought perhaps flora and fauna would be more appropriate. Hmm....don't know about that.
