"The Coffee Shop" #7

Sherrie:

PM is sent!

 

AdoptedDaughter and Sherrie, This world will always have its critics, and often they reject criticism in reverse. I shouldn't worry about it. I get called liberal among other things and mostly let it fall over my shoulder. I am confident where I stand.

Cheers, and God bless,

Jim

 

Sherrie:

What would we ever do without you?!

 

Sherrie,

I would imagine you will be remembered for you kind heartedness. You always seem to have a kind word for people and that can be so important. You love everyone, and in todays world todays world needs more Sherries and Jim's .Matthew 22:39b tell us:

"Love your neighbour as yourself" if we can only acheive this in our lifetime we have acheived a lot.

Blessings

Sheila

 

Want to hear something amusing and important at the same time? Well, I am going to tell you anyway.

The town drunk calls me padre all the time. We all sort of chuckle about it. Just not an half hour ago, he brought a woman to see me. She was not a drunk. She went to visit a friend and found him dead on the floor. She was devastated. He was only 47.

You see, if we keep our testimony clear for the Lord, we can be used and I am dressed in work clothes. Be available for the Lord and for the people. That is the secret. I don't know what will come of it, but the town drunk came back and told me that she listened and she was very pleased to receive some counsel on the matter.

The Lord be praised. The devotional says to make the most of the life we know, because no one can brag on longevity, and the only life worth living is one wrapped in Jesus.

Cheers, and God bless,

Jim

 

Ninety-Nine! What 'cha mean, I ain't the board fix it person anymore?? Maybe I need to explain--you see, in my early days on the board--I could fix washin' machines, dryers, lawnmowers, and ceilin' fans--why, I can take a regular "Hunter" ceilin' fan--twist a few wires here and there and have the blades spinnin' faster than a P-51 Mustang at full throttle! I also have a wife who won't let me be that big of a daredevil!

But all of those days are bygone! I've advanced way on past washin' machines, although I did have to come to Gina's rescue on her very sensitive forum concerning car repairs! Mercy, the way those women talk in that forum--something as simple as a vapor canister turns out to be a major overhaul!

Ladies, a recommitment from Blackbird! You got trouble at your house that you can't handle--let Blackbird know--really!

Blackbird

 

Right 'chew are, Sister! She keeps askin' me, "Do you think you have enough life insurance? Maybe we need to call the agent!"

This morning I had to go into Brookhaven to pick up a amplifier for our church's PA system--we had taken it to the music shop for repairs last week. Anyway, my Deacon Chairman says that he's got to go to Brookhaven also to pick up a four wheeler he had taken for repairs--I can just ride with him!

Anyway, we arrive at none other than the Brookhaven Yamaha shop. We get out and go in--and like a big gigantic suction---the "force" grabs Blackbird and starts pullin' him into the vortex--

In the shop showroom--there was "wall to wall" motorcycles---street machines! And Blackbird was quickly comin' down with the motorcycle "fever!" I make the dreaded mistake of sittin' on one of um! A 950 Star! The key wasn't in it or I would have cranked it right there on the showroom floor! But it sure made me wish----then I asked the deacon with me, "Reckon what Miriam would say if I came drivin' up the driveway on this jewel!"--like all good deacon chairman's---he ruled against me and in favor of my wife!!!!!!! RATS!!

Blackbird

Edited because I had spelled Yahama wrong in the first place---don't want any cycle lovers on the board to be offended!

 

Blackbird, you are just a big kid at heart aren't you?

 

Teresa, are you speaking about the thread on divorce?

It's not necessary to rebuke a repentant God fearing Christian for something that God has already dealt with and forgiven them for.

That would be considered a "Holier than thou" attitude. Which none of us should do right? The ground is level at the cross. "There are none righteous, no not one." We're not perfect, we're forgiven.

God Bless You,
Charlotte

 

But I didn't rebuke anyone. I merely stated my stance, and then replied to their questions/statements.

It's not my place to rebuke anyone, which is why I never have or plan on doing so.

 

Hi all!

I am running late today but couldn't stand it any longer! I needed to visit the BB!

It is not raining here, but is cloudy, cool, and humid. A good day to lounge and I have!

Tomorrow I will have to get busy again, sun or no sun. I thank the Lord that I always have the Son.

I need a DDP, so I thought I would pop in, grab it and run before blackbird drags me to the cash register.

Cyal,
Sue

 

WOW...that was a quick visit...lol c u soon

 

Blackbird, I will gladly let you keep your title of "Tim Taylor of the Baptist Board". I would rather not fix anything myself if I can hire someone to do it that knows what they are doing.
