I may be way off-base but I have had a strong suspicion ever since his first post that he and acrucifer are the same person. I may be wrong but acrucifer said he works in law enforcement so lawman would be an accurate screen name, don't you think? Sorry if I'm wrong. It's just a hunch I've had.
Hmmm...
Now that would explain a lot!

As Christains we know we will be under attack. Why should we let those people who are against us stop us from enjoying good Christian fekllowship and discussion which I understood was the purpose of this thread. We have a lot of problems today because too many people wanted to appease too many ideas as to avoid controversy!
Grandma Bear, I totally agree!
If the others would permit me, I'd like to start off the week
with a huge praise (well, it was to me anyway!)
with apologies in advance for the long story:
Recently my 2 year old son & I were visiting my mom.
Now, she tries really hard to keep her house as grandson-safe
as possible, but she knows that we don't expect (nor should we)
that anyone's house but ours is what we consider "safe."
I usually do a quick tour of where he will be playing
throughout the rooms I grew up in.
I do the usual "pushing back from the edge of the counter trick"
so that he's not tempted to pull the coffee pot onto his head,
or to grab Mum-Mum's eyeglasses, etc.
Well, we'd been there a while and he'd already been playing in the kitchen, where I can see him just fine from the living room & always keep tabs on what he's doing - he likes to slide on the floor
or put his trucks on the built-in counter.
When he went back in my mom & I followed & continued chatting
while he played at our feet.
He found something, picked it up & said, "Uh-oh!"
(Which is what he says if he finds something & he doesn't know what it is).
He was holding a very pretty, blue Rx capsule - which probably would have killed him if he swallowed it (my mom takes many meds for serious conditions).
My heart wanted to leap out of my throat but the old reliable
non-panic Mommy Mode engaged, thank the Lord.
My son would normally show me something, but then think it's a game
and run away with it and sometimes put it in his mouth
- this is what I was terrified he was going to do.
He looked at me and then handed it right to me, praise Jesus!!
I must have thanked the Lord 1,000 times from that moment and into
the next day that "for some reason" my mom & I were both in
there with him when he found it, and even more thanks that even
though it was in (his) plain view at ground level he didn't see it earlier
- it didn't get pushed out, etc., it had always been there.
Even now I want to cry at what could have happened, as my DH said,
"No one would have even known what was wrong
with him if he'd found it & swallowed it earlier!"
My poor mother tho, as you can imagine she felt horrible even
tho I have told her repeatedly that it was a total accident
and she's not to blame (she was transferring meds from one
bottle to another - now she only does it over the sink just in case).
So there's my novel of the evening, just wanted to praise Jesus
for the safety of my little guy!
.
Looking at the acrucifer's profile he is a "lawman".
, what part of your walk with Christ do you feel you need to work the most on, what is it that you are neglecting?
