What are your plans for the week?
Doing anything for yourself?
Are you extra busy at work this time of year?

Today I cut and trimmed my lawn and tomorrow and Thursday I will go to the water aerobics at the gym and then this weekend I am going to my younger brother's 20th wedding annivisary party and then on Sunday I will be in church most of the day. My wife is going on a women's retreat this weekend.

I would love to go to a retreat. I may check that out. I need to get away and be with the Lord right now. I will not be able to go out in the sun after June so I need to do all my summer in one month. I am fine today. Being lazy and feeling sorry for myself. Mainly cause my nieces funeral was today. She died of cancer.   |

Yes, I agree.We will approach God together and for each other.
I think times are tough for a whole lot of us.
My DH has to work most Sunday's and I hate to go to church alone, for some very specific reasons. And am having trouble getting there by myself. I have not been there for quite awhile and right now I can't/won't go alone.
I know that is part of the problem. But it is not gonna happen right now. I wish I could get over that. I know i am the one making the choice here, but i am just so weak right now.
Have a great week.
Dottie

Going to Church alone is not a problem for me. I have done it for years and years. Once there I usually meet so many people the first day I feel like I have been there forever. Wish I was in a Church now as I could really use the strength I get from being in Gods home.  |

Do you not have a home church either Barb? I am really disillusioned with church right now. It seems that the pastor only wants to get the new church built, no matter what. The church is divided over the cost and how it is all happening. It seems that once a few people decided they wanted a new building they did what ever it took to get it through. Some of it didn't seem very Christian to me. I kind of just stayed out of it because of what was going on at home here, but it made me very sad to sit by and watch what was going on. At one point one of us had to be with Kevin all the time cause he was having so many seizures and DH usually had to work on Sunday's so I could not get there. I asked the Pastor for some cd's of recent sermons cause I really needed something to hang onto to make me feel like I was still a part of the church and to uplift me and feed me.And what he said and what he gave me was the sermon he gave to the church when he was trying to cnvince them why we needed a new building. And I can tell you that is not what I needed at that point. I could of cared less if they got a new building or not, I needed to feel that God had not forgotten me and that I was not alone. Since that time it has been really hard for me to go. I know I am letting legalistic things get in the way of worshipping God and doing what I am supposed to be doing, but I am stubborn and pig headed  I so want a church that focuses on the Bible and teaching only Gods word and leaves the world at the door, but that does not exist I guess. I am hesitant to say the least. Satan gets everywhere. It is sad. Dottie |

How odd Dottie. I was in the sweetest little church down the road and they decided to build a 600,000 dollar church up on the hill. I like little churches and I hate the fact that eveyone wanted a big fancy place. I just quit going. I am rather plain in dress and I don't fit in will with the folks from indian hill. Lets put it this way.....Liz Taylor used to won a home there. its in this town but on the hill. I had every intention of finding a new place when I got sick but I did get a flyer on the door from a small church up the road that does in home Bible study and I may do that. I am Baptist and its a Church of Christ but I've been to those and I like them too. Have a good day all. |

Hmmmm, that is really strange. We really have a lot in common don't we? How are you doing? How is treatments and everything going? I think about you a lot and pray always. I find it sad that little churches are being phased out for the bigger and so they say better. I don't feel that way. Give me my little country church any day. there has to be a lesson here somewhere. I am sitting with the heating pad on my back tonight. The tension piles up in the muscles in my back and they ache so bad. It can't be that I am getting older.....I'm not aging am I? Night, night TB |
