"What Hurts The Most"

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

[JoshuaCh1v9]

Yes, you would be wise to find something for midweek!
Not good to go too long without some spiritual feeding with other brothers and sisters!


Ugh, I'm not feeling well today. Full of cold. But I have to do a reading at Church, and also I get to organise the Christian Aid week envelope distribution. Then I will come back home and get some rest.

Yes, I suppose you don't want to just completely give over your online life to your alternate character. Might give him ideas.

[higgs2]

Lots of fussing going in in the other threads on str. I'm a bit over it myself. Liberal, schmiberal, pliberal bleh. I have this real life here that I really kind of like...

[Andy Broadley]

Yea, gotta keep the young whippersnapper in his place.

He's getting too big for his boots as it is:D :D :D

[higgs2]

Not that it isn't fun getting insulted and called a (gasp) liberal all the time.:doh: Or watching it happen to others.

[higgs2]

lol. I liked the one where they where getting excited abut the way the commandments are split. The RC splits them one way, other denominations in another way.

I agreed with Paladin.

All 10 are there.

Does it matter???

Still, it keeps people occupied I suppose

[higgs2]

Andy, can women be commanders in the S. Army?

[Andy Broadley]

Not that it isn't fun getting insulted and called a (gasp) liberal all the time.:doh: Or watching it happen to others.
I've had better than that.

I got called a heratic in OBOB.

Whicj is funny becuase as I've not had a water Baptism (The Salvation Army doesn't do that), I can't be a heratic by the RCC's own definition of the word:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

giggle. The summary of the law from Jesus works for me. It's harder to keep than the commandments anyhow. Love your neighbor *as yourself*??? Who keeps that one perfectly I ask. A project for a lifetime.

I bet I could be a heretic too. So if the church is speaking with one voice, I imagine it's because we're not letting the "heretics" speak, right? Perhaps their mouths are ducttaped shut before the one voice speaking begins.

Interesting talking deep theology with you, my friend :)

[Andy Broadley]

Andy, can women be commanders in the S. Army?
They cartainly can.

William Booth, our founder. said that "Some of my best men are women"

We have women in a great many senior posotions of leadership in the Army. Some of the best officers I have ever known are women.

And the Army has had two female generals (the General is the worldwide leader of the Salvation Army)

It cracks me up that there are those who still struggle with this issue.

I'll be back, but the baby is crying so I need to go put a sleeping spell on her. :)

:D :D :D :D :D

Theology, schmeology:D :D

The thread I'm waiting for is....

"Is it theologically sound to brush the dog on the third Wednesday in Lent"

There will be some ancient writings somewhere which states that it's OK, provided you brush left handed whilst wearing brown shoes.:D

[Andy Broadley]

Wonderful.

To be honest, we always wondered why some churches make such a fuss about it.

We've always had women leaders, and they are equal in every way to the men.

So what does it mean to be "getting back in uniform"? At least I believe that is what you referrd to once.

[Andy Broadley]

So what does it mean to be "getting back in uniform"? At least I believe that is what you referrd to once.
OK.

Well, the Salvation Army is a church, like any other denomination.

Anyone is welcome to come along and worship at the Salvation Army, in the same way that I would be welcomed at an Anglican church.

However, in the Army, a person can choose to align themselves fully with the beliefs and principles of the Army, and become a 'soldier'.

I suppose that it is similer to being confirmed in the Anglican church.

We are required to sign a document called 'The Articles of War'

This link gives a bit more informatin about the uniform

However, a person does not need to wear the uniform to worship with the Salvation Army.

Hope that helps

To briefly continue....

I used to be a Uniformed Salvationist several years ago, and I now feel that God is leading me back in that direction once more.

The phone was making a buzzing noise (thats normal for it!), and i had to shout down the phone, also had to spell out my town... trouble is i couldnt spell it off the top of my head.. did other silly stuff too. :doh:

[JoshuaCh1v9]

hey folks.

Bummer about the job jb.

Hang in there, it'll work out

[JoshuaCh1v9]

BTW.

25k challenge running in the bank thread,

Check it out.

If you have blessings to give then thats cool.

If yuo havn't then that cool too.

We need your moral support just as much.

So everyone make sure that yuo all drop by and say hi over there.

And keep spreading the word....

[JoshuaCh1v9]

That challenge has been met, so I've upped the stakes over there.

For the next 25 hours I will match double for every blessing donated to the fund.

Lets see how much we can raise.

[karen freeinchristman]

So there should be nobody in the Alehouse, then, I guess; everyone in the Arcade! Too bad we can't chat together while we are all in there... I have an idea, in the comments section of the winners table, we CAN chat together! That might encourage us all and make it more fun! :)

[SirTimothy]

Okay, I'm game to chat in the comments. :)

Brandon is my best friend... he was in Iraq for 3 months, he just called me like an hour ago to say he was home and we are doing lunch!

hi

Hey Nic

[Redstiletto]

hi

[SirTimothy]

Hey folks, I forgot that I wanted to finish off the pub tonight. I gotta get to bed, so I'll leave you with a joke:

A state trooper sees a vehicle on the interstate doing 33 miles an hour and pulls the car to make sure everything is all right. When he approaches the driver he discovers that it is a nun.
"Excuse me, sister. But are you alright ?" He asked.
She replies, "Oh, yes officer. We're just fine. Was I doing something wrong?"
The officer says, "Well sister, you were traveling way under the speed limit and I was concerned that you might be having car trouble or something."
"But officer", the nun interrupts, "I saw a sign there about a mile back that said 33, and I know I wasn't going any faster than that."
Chuckling, the trooper says, "Sister, that was a state highway route marker, this is State Route 33, not the speed limit. The speed limit signs have a MPH at the bottom."
"Oh, now don't I feel foolish!", replied the nun turning red.
"That's ok, but please try to be more careful, I would hate to see you get hurt", finished the officer. Then as he turns to say good-bye to the nuns in the back seat, he notices for the first time that they are trembling violently and quite pale.
"Sister, what is wrong with your friends? Can I escort you to a hospital ?"
"Oh, no, they're all right. We just turned off of Route 150."

[Redstiletto]

Sorry I am conserving posts... until tomorrow... so I can celebrate my 20K

[JoshuaCh1v9]

Only 23 to go.

How can this be? You, Andy, as Joshua, already have 5800+ posts! I have been working so hard to get up to 5000! :cry: It's not fair!

[karen freeinchristman]

Oh my gosh, Tom, did you actually watch it?
I thought about watching it, you know, strictly for the mission purpose of keeping up with today's culture ;) , but I couldn't bring myself to watch it.

Is it celebrities this time, or ordinary people?

[Andy Broadley]

Hi gang.

Neither! They're members of the general public though if that's what you mean. :)

[TomUK]

Clown suits rule, right svdbygrace? :)

Is there a clown convention on at CF? I seem to have seen a few more around than usual... at first I thought it was some kind of "moderator initiation" thing, but they are not all moderators who have them on.

[JoshuaCh1v9]

A lot of moderators have them on. I think I even spotted our Webmaster sporting one earlier...

[Andy Broadley]

I keep getting asked to be a mod.

I've had two requests tonight alone.

[svdbygrace]

Hi svd! :wave: lookin' good in that clown suit! :D

[SirTimothy]

We're trying to keep our senses of humour throughout the changes.

http://www.monstereo.fi/monvideo.php (http://www.monstereo.fi/monvideo.php)


If anyone wants to hear the winner again

I thought it was excellent

And, yes, I did vote for it:D

[Andy Broadley]

[TomUK]

[TomUK]

I thought ours was quite good. Surprised it didn't do better.

[TomUK]

Legends!

[TomUK]

I thought ours was quite good. Surprised it didn't do better.
I was hoping for around 8th place. Our record was a bit of fun that didn't take itself too seriously. If we were a former Soviet country we would've been high in the rankings.

I was amazed that Lithuania got so many votes


"We are the winners of the Eurovisio...."


And we gave 'em 10 points:eek: :doh:

[Andy Broadley]

There is something amazing about European hard rock. I checked iTunes the other day and the band i listen to most is Europe, of 'Final Countdown' fame. It's embarassing really!

[Andy Broadley]

I loved that song!

I reckon all the Brit lads thought it was another version of Vindaloo:D

Guess we'd better get us a new Alehouse opened in a minute

[TomUK]

It's taken an age to finish this one

[Andy Broadley]

It's taken an age to finish this one
I got a new place open and ready.

So lets get finished up in here and move in

[Andy Broadley]

Another 10 or 11 posts should see us through.

[Andy Broadley]

Hey did you see Erwins announcement about Chrisbot?

Turns out he was causing all the problems with the site running slow, so Erwin has disabled him

[TomUK]

RIP Chrisbot

[Andy Broadley]

Lets get this one closed up.

*Andy starts turning out the lights*

[Andy Broadley]

*Unplugs jukebox*

And so we come to the end of another Alehouse.

Been a long one this.

Probably because we have all been so busy with the fund

[Andy Broadley]

Where did Tom go?

We got a pub to close up

[TomUK]

Sorry!

I've been watching a few TV shows

[Andy Broadley]

Ok.

Have we forgotten anything?

[Andy Broadley]

I think we are ready to get moved into the new Alehouse.

[TomUK]

Ok.

Have we forgotten anything?

You made sure all the pipes are connected up? We need beer in our new alehouse!!!!
