I look for the people I know like me, they are hurting. I won't "fAKE" it. I don't put on a church face. Can't do it. I know you won't lie.LaRessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101560111682657192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252276776257411103.post-77431995263593395732009-01-04T21:39:00.000-08:002009-01-04T21:39:00.000-08:00laressie, i call "greeting" forced friendliness an...laressie, i call "greeting" forced friendliness and i don't like it! we used to do it too at sugar grove. thanks for the words of encouragement and please pray for me and i will try to pray for you!

I dread going.. sometimes I only go because I HAVE TO.. I teach.. Great teacher huh?<BR/>I was in church today and we were "greeting" we do this after the first verse of the first song, just saying hello and hugging your brothers and sisters. I looked around and saw some people that REALLY mean a lot to me. It wwas heart warming, it was from God. I know you don't want to go back especially with the drive. You WILL find the right place for you. Let God lead you. <BR/>As far as reading the bible.. I found this link <BR/><BR/>http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/share/rss2.0/daily.reading.bible/<BR/><BR/>It is a daily bible reading. YOu can select to subscribe to the RSS.. it will update daily on your favorites link it has a "feeds" link. You can go there and click on it.. anyway you can listen to the bible on this link also. Maybe that will help. IT IS ON THE COMPUTER... woo hoo....<BR/>LOVE YOU... and know I am here for ya.LaRessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101560111682657192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252276776257411103.post-55219525977569878062009-01-04T17:57:00.000-08:002009-01-04T17:57:00.000-08:00I'm so glad you wrote this post. I am so exactly,...I'm so glad you wrote this post. I am so exactly, to the letter, in the same place that you are in. No praying, no scripture-reading, I go to church, but no feeling the Spirit. And I've come up with the same things you have - just do it. Reform. Repent. Read the scriptures. Pray. I'm having a hard time doing it, though. We'll have to support each other. But we aren't undisciplined. A LOT of this is illness. And the Lord doesn't hold all this stuff against us - he knows better than we do what we are up against. You are a really wonderful woman and example.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241823908423552828noreply@blogger.com
