PRAYER REQUESTS/ UPDATES/ PRAISE REPORTS


A PRAISE

Praise God for giving us his greatest gift, Jesus Christ!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NIV)

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. (John 13:34-35 NIV)

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. (John 15:12-14 NIV)

This is my command: Love each other. (John 15:17)

A special thanks to sofiag1964 for starting this thread 10 years ago and to burgyeb for keeping it going when Sofia was no longer able to. May God bless them both for their concentrated efforts and also bless those who post on it from time to time.

I am thankful for those being able to celebrate the Lord's birth this year and I ask God to be with those who have suffered tragedies this year.

[burgyeb]

Thank you Ropegg for your gracious words of encouragement. I am also grateful for Sofia planting this thread, as it is a gift from God. I thank God for giving me the strength to contribute to this thread.

I am thankful for the eternal God, who took on flesh; coming to earth as "God with us (Immanuel), in the form of a new born babe (Jesus); who was born to a virgin (Mary) through the power of the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost. (See post# 1689)

I enjoyed a quiet and low-keyed Christmas.

you don't subscribe to the theory then that Mary was impregnated by aliens? (a lighthearted joke)

No.

Archeologists near mount Sinai have discovered what is believed to be a missing page from the Bible. The page is currently being carbon dated in Bonn. If genuine it belongs at the beginning of the Bible and is believed to read:

"To my darling Candy. All characters and events portrayed within this book are fictitous and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental."

Well, probably everything in the universe is alien, as we all came from somewhere else.

I enjoy this thread in a similar way as I enjoyed Sister Wendy's art observations. Learning about people's points of view in a reasoned manner …. beats some of the conversations I have with our rooster, Russel Crow.

The Many Worlds Theory helps me understand him. And I don't know where he came from, either.

BRILLIANT Astral.
