    I am more than happy to forfeit grammatical correctness if it gets me even closer to God.




    There's Jesus here,
    Just see what He offers me....
    Down here my sins forgiven,
    Up there a home in heaven
    Praise God, That's the way for me!!

      I remember as a child at my mother's knee, she used to sing me this song...

      "My Uncle's a vicar in Melbourne,
      He's saving young girlies from sin.
      He'll save you a girl for a dollar,
      My God, how the money rolls in."

      She was a Godly woman and praised The Lord in song. I always hoped to meet my Sainted uncle and his Sainted Wife, of whom Mother sang

      "My aunty's a boarding house keeper.
      At night when the street lights grow dim,
      She hangs a red light in the window.
      My God, how the money rolls in."

      I pray to the Lord that I have found you!
      I am sorry to say that I am not your Uncle, but as it seems that your Uncle was a keeper of Gods Word, we are family ! (Praise Our Father)

      I, in my Grace Given counselling roll, do as your Sainted Aunt did; show them their position in life, through personal demonstration and also a slide presentation, and ALL of them have embraced their Missionary Position without falter and in fact, glow with much Jesus infused enthusiasm!

        Brother Levi makes an excellent point, though perhaps Paul meant this to apply only to elderly widows, since Timothy instructs that younger widows should marry and bear children, lest they become idle, tattling busybodies:

        Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man.... But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies.... I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 1 Timothy 5:9-14

          Yes, I am too old to marry again as I am well past threescore years old. My time though is never idle as I am always out counselling young girls and teaching them, though the Good Book how they should be acting, dressing, not to think for themselves, and all around letting them know the skills of what it takes to be a Mindful Wife and of course, how to be one with God.

          I Praise Jesus for his inspiration.

              Thank you for your welcome Felicity. I have been reading through the forum and have noticed many a pleasing and Jesus inspired comment flowing from your keyboard. PRAISE HIM!

              Where does the Bible say girls SHOULD think for themselves?

              It seems to me than any womanly free thought has lead to nothing but catastrophe. I give you EVE as perfect example of this.

                Wintersnow - I humbly beg your forgiveness for not paying enough attention!

                it's a great pleasure, of course, to meet such a holy woman engaged in The Lord's work, just as my Sainted Aunt and Uncle did!
