Good Morning everyone!! It sure is quiet around here, only a few of us posting but maybe there are several reading at least.

I heard that you all were having a LOT of rain in California, I hope it slows down a bit now that you have enough of it to replace the loss of water from the drought. Here we are still having winter, we had lots of snow and cold weather this winter but this last weekend we had warm temperatures (for here) of 50 degrees and so lost about a foot of snow. BUT we still have 2 feet left LOL. I am looking forward to spring but that won't happen here for 2 months yet.

Have a wonderful day everyone

Hi, all!

Yes, only a few posting, but very interesting posts, nonetheless. I don't have a lot to contribute these days, nor a lot of time. Work has kept me extremely busy these last few months, so I pop in when I can.

~LQ

Peace to you all!


It has been a very busy time for me as well, working lots at the moment. Hubby has been out of work for about 5 months, but, it seems like its going to start picking up for him again. Jobs are beginning to pop up on the grapevine.

My puppy was in a cone for two weeks over Christmas (had to remove a cyst from his eyelid), then got an infection in his eyes AND his poor paws, so back into the cone he went for a couple more weeks. But his eyes are better and his feet are cleared up, yay.


Kim, I'm not surprised at your weather. Its been a really mild winter here. Not a lot of snow, mind you. But very up and down with two weeks of cold then a good week or two of warm, then some snow and cold, then some warm, and so on. If we have a mild winter, seems like others would have rainy ones.

I am here everyday though, and I am thinking about you all.



Love and peace to all of you, and to your households, as my Lord gives peace and love,
your sister and servant, and fellow slave of Christ,
tammy

Glad to hear everyone is well.

Tams, Awww so sorry about your poor fur baby. But glad he's on the mend.

I'll second that what Tammy said. I am here as well most everyday and am here for you all. You are all in my prayers,
Love your sister and fellow servant of JAHeshua MischaJAH, the chosen ONE of JAH!
Kim

Oh Tammy that must be stressful for your family with your Hubby out of work, good thing you can work to get you through it.

I am glad to hear your puppy is better now. I know about infections on doggies for sure. My dog has been having skin infections for 7 years now (he is 10) and we are constantly at the vet, every week now. He is on and off antibiotics all the time, he is on prednisone and thyroid pills and arthritis pain medication too. He has had 3 cyst/ tumours removed and we put socks on his feet (secured with tape) so he couldn't scratch the stiches instead of the dreaded cone. It is bankrupting us but he is part of the family and he is happy and comfortable because we are always treating him with weekly medicated shampoos at the vets and medication. He is 120 lbs so we can't bath him ourselves.

Thanks Tammy and Kim for being here for us.

Greetings, One and All: May you each have Peace, as our Lord provides it.

I don't know about anyone else on this Board, contributor or just a reader-only, but these last few posts from several here make it "sound" as though "another person" who has been on this Board for years--years--has not been here for you all. That's how "I" read it. That's how it "feels" to me. (I wonder, how must if feel to her?) I know I can be overly sensitive at times, I've certainly been accused of that all of my life by my own family--of being overly-sensitive about things. However, when it comes to the possible feelings of my wife, I don't want anyone to cause her any emotional pain. I -- won't stand for it. I believe no one wants to cause anyone any kind of pain, especially one who belongs to our Lord, but when I read things like "I'm here for you" or "Thanks for being here for us," it reads to me as though someone else hasn't been here for us, someone else who, in reality, has been here for each and everyone of us. It can be quite painful. It can hurt the heart.

Everyone here is here for everyone. Isn't that a given? Everyone here has been here for everyone. Isn't that a given? Please refrain from writing such unkind, untrue, and hurtful things. There are many people on this Board who are very sensitive. Please think of them when next you write. Thank you.

May Jah, our God, and Jaheshua, our Lord, bless you all. Come! Take Life's water free!

Respectfully,

--Armand

Absolutely agree my brother and peace to you as well,

Shel has been here through it all and I know she still IS here. She has never stopped. No matter how often or how little at times she may share with us as our Lord shares with her, she is here 100 percent in spirit. We all come and go with sharing at times even in length, and YET she has NEVER NOT sharing truth here....EVER!

We all need a break from time to time, even our Lord did. I completely undersantd that. MY mention of being here was in no was to insinuate that my sister IS NOT, because I know better.

Thank you for sharing this and calling it to my attention. I apologize for how my particular words came out. I did not mean to hurt or offend anyone here.

Love and peace to you all as well as our Lord gives it, your sister and felllw servant of Christ, Kim

Dear Armand, may you have peace!


I will not speak for anyone else, but please know that in no way did I mean (or even understand) the above posts to mean that "someone else" has not been here for us).



Shelby has been here for us, in love and obedience to our Lord, as well as continuing longer than she had to be here, out of love for us. She is still here for us - any of us - the Body and anyone seeking Christ, the Household of God, Israel, and all who go with. Her not posting for a while (taking a break, or perhaps not even posting again unless she is directed to by the Master) in NO way means that she is not here for the Body of Christ, as well as those who are seeking Christ, as well as anyone in need, if she comes across such a person or is sent to such a person.

We are not a religion. We are for Christ. Whether we are on this board or off this board, wherever He leads us, wherever we are, we are supposed to be for HIM.


Our eyes are to be upon Christ and we are to go where He tells us to go (always following Him and listening to Him). Shelby will do that, and continue to do that, I have no doubt. And it is also not as though she has dropped off the face of the earth - she has an email, she has a phone. And although she has described herself as not being 'nice', I have always seen (by her words and her seemingly tireless efforts to serve all who seek Truth; Christ) that she has more love in her than most I know, including myself. Love also speaks TRUTH. Shelby has always done so.


Shelby has also warned more than once that at some point she will no longer be able to post (or post as much). Because we need to be going to CHRIST, ourselves. Our eyes upon Him. Our ears upon Him. And if we have faith in Him, and faith in the power of His Name, then we have nothing to worry ABOUT.

So perhaps this is that time. I know that my dear sister would not do something that she has not been directed to do (or that she does not have permission to do). But lets not confuse not posting on a discussion forum (for some time or for MUCH time) as not being part of the Body, or as not being here for anyone who needs her.


We need to look to Christ and listen to HIS VOICE. As HIS SHEEP DO. For those of us who are new and for those who are still seeking, then we need only look to Him, and listen to Him, to ask and keep asking for ears to hear if we need them, to keep knocking, keep seeking HIM: Jaheshua, the Chosen One of JAH. The door will be opened.


Remember, it is not about us.

It is about Christ.



Love to you dear Armand and Shelby, and also to your loved ones.
May you have peace and may you continue to be blessed, in Christ and Jah, now and for always,
your sister and servant and fellow slave of Christ,
tammy

OH MY Goodness, no way do I think that Shelby hasn't been here for us. She has given her whole heart to many of us and I miss her SO MUCH already ......... I want her here to say Hi everyday and hear her comments but I know she has to take care of herself. I think Kim and Tammy are just saying they are here too if some of us weak ones need encouragement and are here to take some of that burden away from Shelby.
Please Armand you have it wrong about what was said here as sometimes its difficult to get the gist of what is meant with written messages without seeing what our body language is and some like me do not express myself very well.

Greetings All,

Peace and greetings to you, too, Wheels! Nice to hear from you.

New computers are great. Your quokka's are cute too.


Hope all is well with you!

Wow what's with all the Russian spam, the latest 3 this morning were TERRIBLE!!

I am thinking of you all and hoping you are having a good day. I am still pursuing my hopes in Christ.
Love from Zoe

No kidding. I was looking for a way to "report a post", but couldn't find one.

Hi, everyone!

Thankfully they are gone now. Those were offensive LOL but I guess that was the point of it.

They were offensive. I am so sorry. Thankfully, Outlaw got to them as soon as he saw them. The specific spammer in question is banned by IP address; as are all the others. That specific person should not be back.


Leaving, you can report a post by the little exclamation point icon in the bottom left corner of any specific post.



Peace to you all!
