I'm too new to the Sally Anne I guess (3.5 years)... what does "Fire a Volley" mean?

O man. We are talking major history here. In the old days (when we still had fire in our bellies), anyone could shout 'Fire a volley' and everyone would shout 'Glory'.

Not heard it for a good while, which is a shame

[Dippy]

I am not that old. ;) You make it sound like ancient history! But I agree, it is a shame that we don't have that fire in our bellies anymore. What happened to it? :confused:

[Warren Peace]

Man, when we used to have fire in our bellies at my summer camp (not Salvation Army), we would yell "Safety!" and everyone would hold their noses ;)

Was this typically an expression used in youth circles?

Anyone got the lyrics (or a link to them) of the Songster piece 'Become aware of Him'?

Is this the one you're after?

Become aware of Him,
for He is ever near,
speak out your prayer to Him,
for He will ever hear,
stretch out your hand to Him,
He's ever by your side;
leave all you've planned to Him,
and let Him guide.

Hope you have a note....

I had one, but I lost it. I can never hold them long enough.

[Andy Broadley]

I know the feeling well. especially the ones with 'Bank of England' written on them:D

[Warren Peace]

Thanks guys... someone back there posted an Ebay item, so out of curiosity my wife and I had a look through about 60+ Salvation Army items. We won three auctions, all were very old books, and we are winning a fourth auction.

I never knew until now how much a British Pound is worth when converted to the Canadian Dollar!

God bless...

About $2.44, give or take (I think)

[Abiel]

Bumpity bump- tho shouldnt need to bump a sticky! We have the Rev Frank from the methodists to preach today. That's the second pulpit swap we have had this year- very good. Probably twice as many as ever before.

[Kizza]

I came across something that I am sure will bless many young Salvationists and non-Salvationists alike...

Your days at the most cannot be very long, so use them to the best of your ability for the glory of God and the benefit of your generation.
~ William Booth, (4 October 1910).

[Evangelina]

Mmm... challenging, Kizza. I'll try to think of those words a few times in the next couple of days.

I've updated the Resources sticky with a few more ebooks, ppls. Found some interesting ones.

[elm0]

Your days at the most cannot be very long, so use them to the best of your ability for the glory of God and the benefit of your generation.
~ William Booth, (4 October 1910).

I first read that as "use them to the blest of your ability".

I think that quote lines up quite well with Ephesians 5:15-17 "So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days. Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do." (NLT)

[Andy Broadley]

Thought it was about time somebody lokked in here again.


Used to be so lively in the drop in....

where did everybody go?

[Evangelina]

We've been moving, and sorting out new house (including drawing up a list of stuff we DON'T want anymore and is still OK... for giveaway to friends or selling at garage sale). AND settling old place... final inspection, extra cleaning, etc. AND hubby is working long hours atm. I need to start prayer journaling again.

[Abiel]

Good to see the drop in is waking up!

[someone_else]

ITF if there is stuff you want to giveaway we are going to have a garage sale at mums place to raise money for going back to zimbabwe and for buying bikes for the home based care team there

[torch]

just another hello to pick up the "drop in" nature of this board.

Woah! This is crazy! Never expected to find a salvationist section on here!

Looking forward to chatting to what might possibly be the largest blood-related family in the world (Let's face it. Most of us are probably inbred aren't we? lol)

Keep on fixing those bayonets :thumbsup:

[J21]

Well..Hi there! I was as suprised as British Craig posting before me to find a Salvo thread! Thought this Aussie Soldier would pop in and see what was going on before she popped off to bed.
I've been a Soldier for 2 yrs but didn't come from a Salvo family. My hubby's family are almost all Salvos going Waayyyy back. One of his sisters and her husband are Officers. My husband was raised Salvo but ran away from Christianity as soon as he could leave home. I found God - Thank God! and the Army was the place that I felt at home. I knew that God wanted me to be a Soldier from the very first service I attended but had to wait for a while.
My husband has just finished the Soldiership course but is waiting for things to be right before he becomes Enrolled. Our almost 16 yr old daughter goes to our Corps and our almost 19 yr old son comes on special days.[ He is a Christian but doesn't believe at this stage he needs to be in a 'Church' ]
I love the Army and how God is using the people in it to show our hope in Him through what we do for " the least of these". I have a passion for the Youth of today to know all that God offers them and help the homeless I come across but want to do so much more in that area!
Anyway, enough for now! I was going to bed about an hour ago!
Hope to catch up with you all when time permits. Nite Nite!:)

Hi there! Perhaps we could call you 'Jay' to give your CF name a bit of say-ability!

[Abiel]

This is my post number 5000.

[gemmald]

:wave: hello everybody! I am pretty (all though not entirely) new to this site. I just thought that i would say hi to my fellow Salvationists.


Im 17 and have been a Christian for just over 18months. BUT WHAT AN 18MONTHS! God has really blessed me and helped me through the tough times and spoken to me about my future. I stand firm in the belief that He is leading me to Officership and Pastoral roles within the Salvation Army. I am hoping and praying that my family will understand my calling and when i leave for London when God tells me to they will be happy with what God is doing for me.

So just watch out in a few years you might have me in your church! nah im nice really ;)
I will end with the words of one of my favourite worship songs

"Father God I wonder how I managed to exist without the knowledge of Your parenthood and Your loving care"

[the_baby]

I have 2 friends thatare going to the War College. They left today in fact.



A friend of mine just came back from being at the War College for a year - she had a FANTASTIC time interacting with those in the slums and became VERY strong in her faith (not that she wasn't all ready, but it was being used in ways she'd never had an opportunity to before). She now works at Youth Outreach Services (YOS) in the city - a ministry run by the salvos for homeless youth, with a school, trade skills, food, etc...

I'm still undecided about being a Soldier - I guess it comes down to what God says to me. Right now, I feel that apart from alcohol drinking (like once every 6 months), all those Articles of War are what I do as a committed Christian anyway, so I'm still wondering if it is right for me or not...

Welcome Patrick :) Have a look at the Resources sticky (http://www.christianforums.com/t1199860-online-resources-sa-and-other.html)... it should answer a few of your questions and help you come up with new ones! :D

We have lots of non-Christians coming tomorrow for shop volunteers appreciation sunday. Cool

[the_baby]

Hello, how is everyone doing. Please pray for my father he just had surgeys on Sept 7th. For good recovery. He had a torn ligament in his shoulder and a born spur in his foot. He had been in pain for 2 years and didn't know it.

[Victrixa]

Hi everyone! :wave:

Where is everyone? This place is waaaay too quiet! But then again, I know, Salvationists have a life! A real meaningful one too! So praise the Lord for that! But still, some people are missed.... :(

I'm very thankful that Sally Ann is always available to rescue people in distress such as we knew in January and such as we know now. :thumbsup:

[gemmald]

hey just checking in - anyone around?

[Abiel]

hi there gemmald!

[J21]

Hi Gemmald and Abiel. Poked my head in to see if anyone was around and saw you two, amongst others...Hi to everyone else as well! Hope this post finds everyone well and that the_baby's father is on the road to recovery. Sounds like it would have been very painful!
I have been busy so haven't popped in too much. My hubby is now an enrolled soldier and it is wonderful that he decided to make that commitment to the Army. The only thing is that now I have an extra white shirt and collar to iron for each Sunday! [I loathe ironing! :)]
Anyway, must leave off for now as I have to get my daugter off to a Drs. appointment. I got the msg Abiel from Chris Bot...thankyou.
Catch you all later on hopefully. I might just keep on popping in and rambling ;)
' Jay' :)

[J21]

"Knock Knock"
"Who's there?"
....okay. No one. Not great playing this game by myself, so I'll just see what's going on around the other sites.
Hi and bye until I drop in next:wave:

[Abiel]

Keep on popping in!

[J21]

I will, no worries Abiel. :)
I was only joking with the "knock knock" joke ;)
My daughter is happy because tonight is the first night our Corps is having a Youth service. She's been helping along with the rest of the Youth to get it up and running. Please pray that it will go well and that the local kids will eventually want to come in and see what's going on.
I'm heading off to see what's growing in the garden section

[J21]

Just dropping in before I head off to bed. Hope this finds everyone well, physically and spiritually. Seeyou next time! :wave:

[Abiel]

Isnt it amazing? In CF world, someone is always just going to bed, or just getting up.

When I was on the other forum site, I had the World Clock in my favourites so I could keep track of what time it was in my posting buddy's countries/ counties/states. I should resurrect it back to the favourites again. :)I can't remember how far behind Oz the UK is. I once knew when I used to ring some Genealogy contacts in Devon, but now we just use E-mail.
Coffee and toast are ready so I had better get a move on or I will be late to get my daughter to school and me to BSF.
Hopefully will catch you later Abiel...or anyone else. :)

Starts at 9pm British time (4pm EST)

All welcome. Please come along:)

[Victrixa]

Hey Abiel :wave: How are you? Too busy with your 'real' corps to hang out in your Cyber Corps, eh? ;)

Are you going on a mission in India now? (Like the first Salvationists :) ) You just need the S's on your Indian uniform! :D :thumbsup:

[J21]

I wish this place was more active though... :)
Maybe we should synchronise our watches!Seriously, maybe we could work out our time differences and then from that, work out a time when we could all be on, or as close as possible. Whaddyathink?

Wow, you're in Australia - 14 hours difference with Quebec, Canada.... You Aussies are 14 hours ahead of us! That might be a little difficult. :)

More posts are what this forum needs. ;) But then again, Salvationists have a real interesting life outside of Christian Forums. :thumbsup:

Hi Guys...
Just finished tidying up the kitchen and loungeroom so that I can get off to bed. We're expecting some really big thunder and lightning plus rain and hail overnight. I woke up at 4.30am this morning to a massive light show in the sky and BIG BOOMS of thunder. I prayed that my hubby who was on his way home from work would be kept safe on the road and delivered home to us....and he was. :)
Hey Abiel, is the AfterSchool club the same as Kids' Club that some churches run here? My kids went to one at their school when they were little and before we were Christians. I thought it was really good that they were learning about God. Pity I never looked at the REALLY BIG picture that I see now, and did something about it back then, hey!
May I enquire as to which part of England you are in?
I correspond with a lovely lady in Liverpool who is not related but shares my maiden name; a family who 'could' be related WAY back, near Ide in Devon, and a 3rd cousin of my husband who I found whilst doing our family tree [ he of Cornish and Devon descent] living in Wales.
Oh well, I am going to have a quick look at the other threads then off to bed. We got a car for our daughter and it needs to have the Auto Electrician have a look at it in the morning.
Like I told her, "You get a car, you get to put your hand in your purse quite a bit." Especially now that our petrol prices are so high! It's criminal!!!
Night all!

[Andy Broadley]

"I'll stand for Christ, for Christ alone,
Amidst the tempest and the storm...."

Sorry, for some reason I've got that chorus in my head today and it won't go away:D

[Andy Broadley]

Anyone remember this?


http://werribee.salvationarmy.org.au/Promise.htm

[Abiel]

never was one. I was an Anglican choirgirl

[Abiel]

Yes Jay- same thing

[J21]

I was never a Junior Soldier either...didn't start with the Army until 3+ yrs ago.
Our Corps enrolled 4 Soldiers 2 weeks ago; total of 6 in the last month.
My husband and I and the ones who enrolled in the last lot, all wear uniform, and we all came from 'outside' of the Army.Most of us couldn't wait to get into uniform.
There are a lot of Soldiers within our Corps who are grown up children of Officers,still serving or retired, so brought up in the Army, and it just seems as though it is these ones who now don't wear uniform.
Theory for this is that those who have been in the Army as kids and so were in Junior Soldier uniforms etc, seem to be reluctant to stay in uniform as adults. What do you all think? Interested.

[Andy Broadley]

I weas a junior soldier for 7 years and loved it. Got all three elements of the JS award scheme, went to youth councils twice a year, had weekends away with the singing company and loads more.

[Abiel]

Interesting outfit Andy...

Just looking around a little. Someone called Andy in Reilly's is a Salvationist so I thought I'd look in and say hello:)

[chickette]

Hey guys! :wave:

Haven't been here for awhile, but thought I'd share some good news with you all!

Just the other week, I enrolled as a soldier! :D Yay! And there were also 14 other people, all young enrolling at the same time. I think about 6 or 7 have since gone into uniform as well.

I should REALLY tell you the score of the soccer game you're about to watch with my FH, shouldn't I???

(and I've been trying to get B to tell me what you're getting Mrs Elm0 for her birthday - no luck so far!)...

[CatholicRock]

Good afternoon everyone:)

[Abiel]

Hi there Rocky!

[Victrixa]

Heya everyone! :wave:

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

Hey Vic, Abiel and Rocky :)

[elm0]

what you doing going to all these places?

Central America: Going to visit our sponsor child in Guatemala. :clap:


North America: Going to visit one of our Aussie friends at the Salvation Army War College in Vancouver, Canada.


Europe: Stopping off to visit family and friends in England on the way to Africa. We were gonna be landing there anyway, so we figured we might as well spend a few days.


Africa: Going back to Zimbabwe for about 8 weeks to work at the Salvation Army's Masiye Camp again. We went there on a mission trip, and we feel God is calling us to go back. So we are. :)
Now we just have to pay for the tickets and everything else. I'm glad God knows where the funds are coming from, because I don't. :thumbsup:

[Abiel]

I'm glad God knows where the funds are coming from, because I don't. :thumbsup:

G'day comrades

[Victrixa]

Andy,

Just what is your real name???

Andy or Winston ? (or some other name, lol!) :D

Now you got me curious!

[elm0]

His name's really Andy Winston Churchill Broadley.

[Victrixa]

His name's really Andy Winston Churchill Broadley.

Really? Cool... Winston Churchill... :thumbsup:

Thank you elm0!

[elm0]

Hey guys, just stopped for a quick hello. Leaving in an hour to head off to our corps youth camp. See you next week.

[Evangelina]

Have fun, elmo...

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

Happy birthday to Mrs Elm0... aka Someone_else! :)

Have a wonderful time at youth camp (I've got your present waiting for you when you get back)...

Sasch

[elm0]

Well, camp was interesting, experienced a few things I've never encountered before (and hopefully won't again, but that's up to God). Won't go into it here, cos this is the social club :P PM me if you want more details. I will share some cool verses I 'found' though. I say 'found' because I just opened my Bible each time and there they were screaming "READ ME!!!"

Matthew 18:18 I tell you this: Whatever you prohibit on earth is prohibited in heaven, and whatever you allow on earth is allowed in heaven.

John 8:31-36 Jesus said to the people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you keep obeying my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
"But we are descendants of Abraham," they said. "We have never been slaves to anyone on earth. What do you mean, `set free'?"
Jesus replied, "I assure you that everyone who sins is a slave of sin. A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free."

[elm0]

Has anyone seen the kettle? I need a coffee.

Hello everybody!
It was great to find the Cyber Corps, and this blood an fire drop in.
I'm a third generation salationist, actually from Norway, but now I have been living in the Faroe Islands since 1987.
I'm the webmaster for our local SA page: www.frelsunarherurin.fo (http://www.frelsunarherurin.fo/) :scratch:
I'm trying to be a bandsman, but it is hard to find time to practice.:blush:
I'm also the groupleader for the SA scouts here.

[okvalle]

I reverted back to the Catholic Church 4 years ago. :liturgy: :priest:



I have been listening to Fr. Roderick Vonhögen, a chatolic priest from Holland, who have a great podcast (http://www.catholicinsider.com/). I have learned a lot about the chatolic church that I didn't know. And it is great entertainment too.

http://www.catholicinsider.com/layout/podcast_catholicinsider.gif (http://www.catholicinsider.com/)

I don't think I'm going to be a chatolic though. Before I became a Salvationist, I was a Methodist. (just like WB ;) )

[elm0]

cool! pull up a chair, and make yourself at home:wave:

[Abiel]

funky website! I dont have a badge like that one yet!

[Abiel]

I would never have imagined there was a Corps on the Faroe Islands!

[okvalle]

Thank you all for your warm welcome


I would never have imagined there was a Corps on the Faroe Islands!

The Faroe Islands is part of the Norway, Iceland and Faroes territory.

Abiel, we have two SA Corps http://www.frelsunarherurin.fo/?Um_Frelsunarherin:Samkomur
and one shelter http://www.frelsunarherurin.fo/?Herbergi%26eth%3B

There are no english information about our work on our sites, but hopefully it will come.

[elm0]

I didn't even know that the Faroe Islands existed until you came along.

[Andy Broadley]

I didn't even know that the Faroe Islands existed until you came along.

They beat Scotland at football once :D

(and we never let them forget it):D :D :D

[elm0]

Now when you say football, do you mean FOOTball? The real thing, where they actually use their feet mainly? Because a lot of Australians say football when they in fact mean rugby, and it really bothers me sometimes.

You know me better than that Elm0.

I mean FOOTball, the beautiful game, as it was before that young brat Ellis picked the ball up:D

[elm0]

Hehe, good good A.B. Anyhoo, I must be off now. It's just past 1:45am here, and I'm starting to feel sleepy at last.

[Abiel]

Excitingly, we are only 90 posts away from our second fellowship thread.

[tryme]

Hello. :wave:

I have been at CF for 10 days. :clap:
In the spirit of "uniting all Christians" I want to say hello to my salvationist brothers and sisters.

I hope it was okay for me to post in here.
Blame my posting on Andy who crashed (and was welcome) in Wesley Parish's fellowship thread.

I mostly post in Wesley's Parish and the Fabulous 40's forums.

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

Hey Magnify! Welcome! :)

Nothing wrong with being a gate crasher - we all do it! :D

Hey everyone else - how's life? :)

I gotta go as well.

See you all tomorrow:wave:

I wonder if Abiel realised the monster she was unleashing when she made Elm0 and I fun sergeants :D :D :D :D :D

[elm0]

At least she didn't include Sascha in the list. :yawn: Her idea of fun is shopping!! :sleep:


You know I love ya Sash (as a friend of course), I just don't love shopping as much as you. :wave:

[Andy Broadley]

Are we keeping the same name? Or having something else?

[Andy Broadley]

Personally speaking, I reckon if iot aint bust don't fix it:)


Reilly's is into it's 63rd incarnatin so far.

[elm0]

I think the new thread is automatically generated, so the name stays the same but a (2) gets added, so it'd be "The Blood and Fire Drop-In (2)" But I could be wrong.

[Andy Broadley]

It does if you let it run. But if you want to have a different name you need to stop posting before the Bot turns up and get a new thread started with the new name.

Abiel would then need to close the old one.

But if we decide we are happy with the name we just let it run and it is as you said.

OI!!!! I resemble that remark!

Actually, I'm quite proud of myself - the only shopping I've done lately has been for Christmas - OTHER people's Christmas!!!

(Hmm... Sasch ponders if Elm0 REALLY deserves that Christmas present now... drat, have to give it to him, otherwise his Mrs doesn't get hers!) ^_^

*Andy wonders if finding out which stores sascha shops at, then buying shares in them, could be classified as insider dealing*:D

That's almost tempting to try out...

Let's see - Tiffanys, Oxfam, David Jones (kind of like your Harrods)... hmmm - we could be on to something...

Very quiet round here today

[Abiel]

We were flooded down the hall this morning. The rain came down like stair rods, the drains couldnt cope, so in it came through our front door. We was a mopping, and a wiping. Thank goodness it got no further than the lobby, but it is very damp and smelly in there now.

Wowzers.:eek: And still they tell us we are short of water.

Hey, they do that here too!! Maybe it's a conspiracy, the world's politicians are trying to hoard all the water for themselves!! :eek:



Or maybe not... :P

What I have gotten myself involved in here...

I have to go find the 'crashed' posts from the other night, and maybe that might explain how on EARTH Andy and Elm0 are now Officers of FUN (or whatever)...

:scratch: I think I'm on another planet...

Hi all.

I was dead (shot by Abiel with a rocket launcher)

But I got better:)

[Abiel]

dropping in...

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

G'mornin! :P

[elm0]

Yes, morning. :sigh:

[Abiel]

All not well?

[elm0]

Almost 3AM and I'm still not asleep...

[Abiel]

That's a pest. Have you tried laying down in the dark on a bed???

[elm0]

I've tried that, lay for up to 4 hours sometimes. It gets rather boring. I find I get more tired if I do something rather than if I just lie in bed. Besides, this way I don't disrupt S_E's sleep, and she has to be up at 5AM to go to work. I might end up having breakfast with her before I get to sleep.

Tonight was one of the rare occassions where I actually would have taken the sleeping pills the doctor prescribed, but I haven't got any at the moment.

[Abiel]

That's rough. I very occasionally get insomnia, most frustrating. My problem at the moment is I can hardly stay awake!

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

Hope you got/get some sleep elm0... :)

[elm0]

I got about 5 hours. Had S_E do some spine manipulation for me when she woke up, and then I went to bed when she left for work.

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

Glad to hear it! :)

Now don't you go putting your back out again at bowling (and keep an eye on my man while you're at it too, please?) :)

Go Aussie! Go Aussie!

I have my FH, Elm0 and Someone_else downstairs watching the game.

What was the final score?

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

We scored 1-0, but because of the first game (in Uruguay, where they won 1-0), we had to go into extra time. 2 bouts of it, with no score.

Penalty shoot out - we won 4-2! :D

We're going to GERMANY! 32 years since our last world cup qualification - you should have heard the screaming (and there's parades everywhere!!!!) :D
