We will never find out what happened with McDonalds girl or what narcissist woman he met next.:(
Or whether he was ever ordained.

That is the question I (basically) asked him when I realized he had been banned...

I was going to tell him of a place that was for rent for free in return for some farmwork which is not far from the area he likes.

I am sad to see anyone get banned. I liked Gregory and enjoyed his posts. I'm not sure what lead to the banning but he will be missed.

What do you mean by ordained Magenta?
Gregory mentioned wanting to be a priest as a boy, and priests are "ordained" ... I looked it up: Ordination is the sacramental ceremony in which a man becomes a deacon, priest, or bishop and enabled to minister in Christ's name and that of the Church. There are three ordinations in the Sacrament of Holy Orders: diaconate; priesthood; and episcopal. Sounds very Roman Catholic, but then again, many of us were raised in Catholic homes, though I am not sure if Gregory was or not. Gregory had said,

My testimony is long but I will say at the age of ten years old, I was thinking about what I wanted to be when I grew up, the first word that entered my head was priest. After that it felt like an electric current ran through me. From that moment onwards life was not the same. So yes, people are ordained and chosen before they were even born.

That certainly made me curious as to whether he ever did become a priest.

He does use the word ordain there in a different context, having to do with God choosing people.


Good morning/evening :D I am having my cup of coffee now, as I just got up (finally!) :)

I liked him, too. He was a fairly gentle soul, even if he had strong opinions on certain things :)

Now you just need to put cinnamon in your coffee Gandy and then you would have developed good taste. :p
I have tried cinnamon in coffee, and even chocolate, and both together, but definitely prefer it without.

You guys were talking about pumpkin spice lattes a while back?

A few years ago my daughter was all excited to share her new-found love of this drink with me, and she had some coupon on her phone to get them at a reduced price, so off to Starbucks we went, only to find that the (Christmas) special sale had not yet started, so she ended up paying full price for these drinks, which meant about five dollars each. As we were driving and drinking our lattes, every time I took a sip of mine I would say, It doesn't taste like coffee, and my daughter would patiently explain that it wasn't coffee, it was a latte. After about three sips and saying this about three times, I was like, ugh, I can't drink this, and my daughter got somewhat offended, and defensive, telling me how her and her aunt really like them, and I just said, hey, it's okay if you like them, I do not... I just want coffee. I will never have a pumpkin spice late again :D:giggle::giggle::giggle::cool:

We are all priests under High Priest Jesus. He's one already. If we believe in Jesus and forgive others their trespasses...
