I never have plans for the weekend. But I'll tell you my usual. Get up on Saturday at 8, hike 8 miles around a lake, eat Chinese, watch tv, generally chill walking around the house petting cats or going on the internet sporadically. And Sunday I might go to church and then play games with my family, take a walk, go to the beach or something like that.

How do you feel about your current situation in life? content, irritated, sad etc...
 
sorta contented, sorta not contented, if that makes sense. I know that the situation I'm in is of God, but at the same time .....

Do you believe that Christians in the Americas are now starting to feel persecution?
 
I do think that Christians have always been persecuted by non-Christians, and if you mean by God then yes, I think that's beginning to happen as well along with the rest of the country. It will only get worse.

What are the most likely things you would do if you were given the opportunity to have whatever you wished for. Or another way to say it: How would you change what God set up to make everything better? ...That is, if you believe that's possible.
 
I wouldn't want to change what God has set up.

What are your goals right now?
 
What's the square root of 29x29x84x61.5 divided by (2a-6) + 5b ?

The values of a and b are not defined so I'll assume I can assign them. Using a=8 and b=2 gives me a problem statement of:

29*29*84*61.5 / (2*8-6) + 5*2 =

so:

4344606 / 20 = 217230.3

finally:

The square root of 217230.3 = 466.0797142120648

That was very easy and took me less than a minute. Anyone have anything challenging?

----LOL, that was goood, or, should, I say that was AOK :D .

A challenging question ? Hmmm,....ummm, hmm, not algebraic but how 'bout : How many times does God speak to Joseph in dreams in the NEW TESTAMENT, here we 'course be referring to Joseph and Mary and Joseph's angst of staying with a girl who was pregnant and Joseph KNEW he was not the father?? List the verses for extra points :)

I'm guessing 5 times. Matthew 2. Although I never really knew that until you issued that challenge. Thx.

How many of each kind of animal did Moses take on the Ark?
 
None, Miss trick question. That would be Noah, and really it was more God than Noah...but maybe there were more than two of each, because they probably ate something within those fourth days...

What was the sermon about this morning?
 
I wouldn't want to change what God has set up.

What are your goals right now?

To serve God with my whole life. To remain satisfied through supposed future turmoil (speaking about the state of America and it's supposed decline in the recent future). To get good grades. To become a respectable person. And to gain back my reputation.

What is your opinion of the best thing you can do for yourself presently?

Sleep earlier and have a good nights rest, and hope that by tomorrow, everything will be better than today. Trusting that God is in control of everything.

What do you do when you're bored?
 
I either play a game with my family or pray on the floor.

What is the thing you desire most currently or in the far future?

What is the thing you desire most currently or in the far future?

Currently, pay of medical and college debt. Far Future, start a school for at risk students.

Would you rather bake bread or make a chair?

---It sounds like Brando you were answering AsIf's question about your Sunday sermon recall, but , no, you answered needingadvice's Q. Which was fine, hey, we all lose track , I know I do ALL the time, LOL, but, and, it won't be me because I was sick in bed Sunday and not making my own 'Contagion' movie.
---
So, I'm going to answer vKat's question quickly : 3 jobs or make ends meet, like ecclesiastes says, their are seasons for everything, including work, the Lord leads, , so, I will contentedly work either way and have in my life done so...

So, Yes, now I will not ask.a question but get this question of AsIf's back in the saddle, bum-buh-dee-da, bum-buh-dee-dah. :)

So what kind of happy trail did God take your mind regarding the lessons learned from your pastor's sermon?

Ok, I get it , Lord, I'm thinking I'm the one to give a short sermon, so...
The beattitudes. Are what?
Yes, Yes. they are what you think they are but how important is it that you not only believe what they but tgat you act out the beattitudes' principle verses. Let's look at them ...but I'm focusing on the final TWO 'BLESSEDS,' if that makes sense, saying then how important these spices are to life, and, not just any life, YOUR LIFE :)
OK, Matthew 5 begins for us now, so, please, my ladies and gents , turn with me to this chapter and I'm.reading from the NKJV version:

And seeing the multitudes, He (Jesus) went up on a mountain (side?) and when He was seated His disciples (not speaking JUST to His apostles, Peter, James, John, Andrew, etc.) came to Him.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted (with fresh goat milk, this, of course, for Catty, a.k.a. Catlynn :D ) I'm kiddingKIDDING.
OK, the next blessed beattitude is Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Hmm, I never thought of how much sense that makes. The rest of them need more thinking from the inside out :D
So, next is Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Makes sense. Doesn't't it? :D
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Ahh, peeps, we now, friends, Romans, countrymen (and countrywomen, of course :D ) get to the meat of this message.
No way ! You can't be serious, you believe what? We're staying here, dude, to watch Sunday morning football and you're going where? Church, did you say 'church.' What a dumb thing to do, bro. All us dudes would like you not to bother showing up for our Monday fun game at Joe's house.

What way did that last paragraph take your mind? Did you feel PERSECUTED?

YES, now, we get to the FINAL two beattitudes, and , I thank you all for your fine attentiveness to my sermon . And, c.c., folk, as if you think you might not like this, well then, blame it on AsIfInPassing, he did the question. :D

Ok, kidding around again am I, blessed #8 is Blessed are those who are PERSECUTED for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
And the 9th and final 'Blessed (pronounced bles-sed, or, it's 'bless-sid' if you are an Ice Age movie fan :D ) is Blessed are YOU when they revile (eww, heavy, loathy word, eh ) and PERSECUTE you, and, say all kinds of evil against you falsely (like saying, 'YOU FILTHY MESS!' when really the truth is you are 'A CLEAN MESS.' :D ), for my sake.

That's it, that one must not be that important then, green. All the others have a 'for,' after that saying something good happening like getting the earth.

Ahh, grasshoppers, you're astute as a scholarly staunch debating type (like zeroturbulence :D ) , and, Yes, that blessed persecuted beattitude does NOT END THERE !!!!

WHOA, I'M outta control, waaaay ! Somebody, in the immortal 'masked' words of Jim Carey, STOP ME !!
Nyuck, nyuck, nuck (me weirdly lauflghing) . Laufghling, green?
Yeah, that's how I do it. You might laugh but I, Well I, I LAUFGHLE ! ..LOL :D

So after that first revile and persecuted part, the 9th beattitude DOESNOTENDTHERE. ARE YOU WITH ME OR ARE YOU WITH ME?! :D

So , next this 9th and FINAL beattitude says: Rejoice and be exceedingly glad (that you can be reviled and persecuted) , for (Ahh, we finally get to the 'for' don't we) great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets (Jonah, Jeremiah, obadiah, Daniel, etc.) who were (born) before you.

And what FOR must we follow these reasons and willingness to be PERSECUTED...?

WE NEED TO BE SALT OF THE EARTH, SALT LOSES SALTINESS IF IT LOSES IT'S SELF, OR, essence (sorry, for caps, just being green guess ).

Anyway, out of all those beattitudes, and, being more than one thing (peacemaker and meek, for example, as meek gets you Earth and peacemaker called sons of God, but that's not cool as getting eternally good stuff in heaven is it)) is not bad, its a good thingbut I want the most lasting thing-reward inheaven . How we get that?

Persecuted.
:)

Are you firmly faithed in your Saviour? How?

Difficult question to answer. In some ways really strong, but in other areas, I have very little faith.

What was Needsadvice question?
 
To serve God with my whole life. To remain satisfied through supposed future turmoil (speaking about the state of America and it's supposed decline in the recent future). To get good grades. To become a respectable person. And to gain back my reputation.

What is your opinion of the best thing you can do for yourself presently?

Branding7s answered your question needingadvice.
He said get good grades, become respectable person, gain back his reputation. :)
---()-----
I like your avatar, needingadvice, very cute cat you are.
Wait, can cats talk?
+++-+-+-+
Oh WAIT, that is not my question, my question is: when you are in charge of a kid, either your own, or, for me, it would be nieces and nephew, how do you discipline them when they disobey you and it is something big ?
 
When Snackers disobeys me, it usually makes the evening news........:D

Seriously, though, for a sensitive child, telling them that you are disappointed in them, and worse yet, that JESUS is disappointed in them, is enough to get them thinking......tell them a little parable so they see why they were wrong, then get them to apologize to everyone involved, including Jesus........Hard-headed kids may take a more drastic approach, though......The Lord leads. (I stole your line, Mr. Green :D)

Am I the only one here who LOVES fall? :)
