    Re: Greetings

    An Irishwoman who can read and write? My word. Now I really have seen everything.
    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.

        I do not mean to reproach you, but let's not add more agony and heartache to my dear Sister Naomi by talking so extensively about getting married young. You and Rosie are very noble and womanly in fulfilling your role, just as the Lord has demanded, and so has Sister Naomi. Our dear sweet Lord has obviously not wanted Sister Naomi to be married yet, and she has virtuously protected her Christian womanly dignity till the Lord is ready. Even though it is hard for her. She is doing all that the Lord has asked of her and then is helping other young women do the same. I greatly admire your kindness throughout the forum and look forward to getting to know you better!

        YiC,

        Oh, you are so thoughtful, my dear, and so kind to our sweet Sister Naomi. After all, it is not her fault that no man has asked her to marry her; as you say, it is Jesus' will, and He knows what is best for everyone.

        Praise !

        You can’t be a Christian if you don’t believe the Old Testament.
        Jesus is impolite. Deal with it.
        Jesus is xenophobic and so should we.
         Sanctity of Life is NOT a Biblical Concept.
        Biblical view on modern-day slavery.
        The Immorality of the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights."

            It's not quite as bad as that Sister Naomi - she says she is "approaching her 20th year" which suggests she was married at 17. There may have been some perfectly innocent reason for leaving it so late. I myself was not married until I was 18!!!

            Yours in Faith,
            Joanna
            Yes indeed, I married just after my 18th birthday. I could not do so beforehand. Various legalities prohibited it. Perhaps some women are destined to marry later, perhaps teach in the interim. However my destiny from the Lord was to marry as soon as I could and have children.

            Thank you again for your kind words dearest Elizabeth. I am truly grateful to have met you here.
