For years, I belonged to a church that really practiced it. Its people were not sympathetic to each other, and all in all, it was a very cold environment as well as judgemental. Today- I am healing. I am learning and am happy. I have found some little bit of peace. <BR/>My prayer life is changing- for now I am learning to really pray- to use the model that our Heavenly Father gave us- instead of reciting it like a robot daily. It now has meaning. From this- I feel a positivism developing- and a new life, that will eventually dawn on me. Being Baptised again is frightening to think of- but I know its right. It will be my choice to come to the Lord- and that is what its about. <BR/><BR/>Well-again, I really enjoyed this article, and will come back and definitly read more.<BR/><BR/>Its early morning where I live- almost two am. So- I muss hit the hay as they say.<BR/><BR/>Blessings-<BR/>Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangamadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265730800407738085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-52604927963778805862007-11-04T19:14:00.000-06:002007-11-04T19:14:00.000-06:00Good questions that need to be said out loud.

I have never been married. My prayer life isn't that great. I don't know if I am really resting/trusting or if I just don't care or believe anymore. But I seem to be stuck.<BR/>You gave me something to think about. Thankyou for writing about your experiences. I do have hope and joy in knowing though that this life isn't my home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-84320965017622961292007-11-03T19:32:00.000-05:002007-11-03T19:32:00.000-05:00I echo kansas bob's amen.Amen!I echo kansas bob's amen.<BR/><BR/>Amen!crownringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091550580924650465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-52632083627164245652007-11-03T16:57:00.000-05:002007-11-03T16:57:00.000-05:00Amen to your prayer Sarah.. and thanks!Amen to your prayer Sarah.. and thanks!kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-24695108732787396632007-11-03T16:54:00.000-05:002007-11-03T16:54:00.000-05:00I'm really sorry to hear about your wife's diagnos...I'm really sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis. <BR/><BR/>I hope it's ok, but I'm just going to pray in real simple, child-like way here: Jesus, I thank you that whenever you went into a town, the Bible says that they brought you all their sick and You healed them ALL. I pray that you would heal Bob's wife now as well. I pray that Your divine purposes of goodness would be realized in her life, and in the lives of her family. I thank you for the cross, and I apply what the cross has purchased for us to this situation. I thank you that you bore a thrashing for our healing. Your kingdom come here on earth in her body as it is in heaven. There is no MS in heaven. So, let that kingdom reality be realized here on earth. Amen.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363410058108479951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-63077578589860176692007-11-03T15:41:00.000-05:002007-11-03T15:41:00.000-05:00Thanks, friend.Thanks, friend.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203594257221430139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-55636896391322149582007-11-03T15:07:00.000-05:002007-11-03T15:07:00.000-05:00Lots of food for thought here!!!
