Hello to all!

[McKenzieRichards]

Hello everyone!

My name's Mrs. McKenzie Richards, I am 20, and married to my longtime sweetheart John-James Richards!

My husband has just allowed me to have access to the internet with his very strict supervision, and I'm still getting the hang of how to use this ol' thang he calls a "computer". I have been permitted to share that am from Jonesville, Louisiana and I attend Lismore Baptist Church right in my hometown with my husband. We are expecting our firstborn son this September and cannot wait to have more God-fearing children!

My favorite scripture from the Bible is John 1:12-13;
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

This verse humbly reminds us that our love and trust in Jesus is truly up to one's decision to recieve HIM with his or her whole mind, heart, and spirit, rather than just acknowledging that HE exists. Acknowledgement and knowledge are two different thangs after all!

In the fashion of a true southern gal, I grew up knowing and loving the LORD with all my heart, as my Pappy was a Pastor at the very church I go to back when I was a youngin! A life with the LORD is the only life I know, and the only life I wanna know!

I am pleased to make your acquaintance!

Happy to have you here, Mrs. Richards.

Mrs. Richards, congratulations on your excellent, by-the-book introduction post. One question: Why are you wearing a chapel veil? I hate to think that you are a stealth Catholic merely posing as a Baptist.

Mrs. Richards, congratulations on your excellent, by-the-book introduction post...

Good observation, Sister Handmaiden. I should remind Mrs. Richards this is not a Christian parody site where unnamed individuals present themselves as someone, often young women, different than who they are actually. This makes Jesus angry.

Yes. Padre Romeo mentioned mantillas just yesterday in the kebab thread, so I am wary. However, I do not wish to appear unwelcoming. Mrs. Richards is welcome to learn from us but needs a fine church hat.

Bonjour, it is a delight to meet you!

Hello.
Unfortunately, my veil is a "hand-me-down" from my bridesmaid's late late late late late grandmother as my cow ate my veil before the wedding. I felt hideous wearing such an egregious thing, but I could not have been without a veil before my wedding, less known I show my hair in such an intimate setting like the house of GOD! I hope that the LORD forgives me for the possibility that I could be mistaken as a Catholic instead of a true-born GOD-Fearin Baptist!

Forgive us our slow welcome. We have recently lost a dear friend Ponce who succumbed to a tropical or African virus after a string of unlikely misfortunes.

Why are you wearing a chapel veil?

What is a chapel veil?

My favorite scripture from the Bible is John 1:12-13

John's witness is always inspiring. The life Christ expects us to live is not the same as the world would have us carry on. For instance, in Ephesians 5:22 an important principle is provided by God, speaking through Paul, helping us to understand that not all relationships are on an equal footing. Do you see your and your husband's decisions to receive HIM as equivalent? If you could clarify, that would be great! Because, as you mentioned, acknowledgement and knowledge are different.

Thank you for contributing with such a lovely Scripture.

What is a chapel veil?

Chapel Veils, also called mantillas, are head coverings traditionally worn by women during Catholic Mass. Growing up in the Mariolatry Cult, we females had to cover our heads in church and often wore chapel veils, which were basically lacy triangles, or silly doilies pinned to our hair.
