    Greetings and Salutations

    As this seems to be the appointed place for introductions, I shall get right to it. My name is Sofonda Peters, and I am a Christian woman living in Texas. My leatherbound copy of the 1611KJV Bible is my constant companion and a great comfort in troubled times. I enjoy cooking, gardening, and sewing (although being of a certain age, my vision no longer agrees with needlepoint). I also make a point of attending church services on Sundays and Wednesdays over at the Second Shady Grove Baptist Church. One of the ladies over at the VFW set me up with this computer and "Internet" connection as a thank you for being a volunteer cook in their kitchen these last 27 years. I am not generally one to go along with fads, but she seemed to think this one is going to last. Time will tell I suppose. I was pleased as punch to come across your site this week. The potential for True Christian fellowship put a smile on my face. I know I have much still to learn, and look forward to exploring God's Word with you.
    5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
    Psalm 92:5-8

    You sound incredibly godly, Mrs Peters. And you live in Texas, which makes you even closer to Jesus and his appointed Earth-president George W. Bush!
    Welcome to Landover Baptist Church. It was Jesus who guided You to this Site.
    I'm glad to hear you own a KJV copy and hold it dear.
    I hope your vision is good enough for you to see the paypal button, which you are supposed to hit as many times as possible.
    In order to become a true christian, an honorary status on these message boards, you must countinue with your godliness, donate at least 10% of your income to the Church and - of course - pray!

    I feel Jesus is coming! He is near.

          Ms. Peters, you don't mention a Godly Christian Husband.

          Are you a Miss Peters, or a Mrs. Peters, or a Widow Peters?

            My guess, Brother Knees, from the way Ms (should that really be used in a Godly place like this) Peters has posted is that if there ever was a Mr Peters, the old boy has karked it, and probably found it a relief to get away.

              Re: Greetings and Salutations

              Thank you all for your gracious welcome. I shall avail myself of the offering plate directly. As to form of address, Mrs. Peters is appropriate, and I am a widow. My dear husband Richard died in the war. Some of my favorite recipes are those which I learned from my mother and grandmother, and would include chicken and dumplings, pot roast, barbecue, chicken fried steak, turnip greens, biscuits, creamed corn, sweet potato souffle, and apple pie.
              5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.

                You aren't a joo I hope. I didn't notice any Godly pork in your ramblings...

                Why don't you share some of your favorite Bible verses and cleaning tips with the ladies here.

                  Good on your husband, dying for America is like dying for Jesus!

                  Brother Ezekiel brings up a very good point too, I would hope you're not a joo either... Nothing says Godly food like some bacon or pork chops!

                    Merciful Heavens! I just took it for granted that people would know you can't cook up a mess of greens without fatback, and that "barbecue" = pork. I reckon there are more of those joo types up your way than there are down here. Praise Jesus!

                        Praise! While you're here, would you care to elaborate on your pot roast recipes a little? I don't ask for myself, you understand (I am a simple man, currently subsisting on a diet of rice, noodles, and those free servings of salt and ketchup you can get at some places), but Pastor Ezekiel has often said that, next to re-reading 1 Chronicles 4, he finds nothing more exciting than discussing pot roast recipes.
                        O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



                        God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
