What's on your mind?

I just found the lady knight of my dreams on FB.

A brunette with an adorable smile whose first post I saw said this:

"My birthstone is a bottle of Dr. Pepper."

We've been working long hours at work. I miss posting on here about what the Spirit is teaching me.

Ask her out!

I was just watching yesterday's TNF between SF and LA Rams. It's tied at three at halftime. Talk about the most thrilling game ever.

Ask her out!

Can't.

We literally do not know each other at all.
I just happened to see this post from her as she is a friend of one of my friends (a distant cousin whom I haven't even seen in person in at least twelve years).

A pity, that. She's even got a cute name:
Amber Heart.

I feel like I am failing at life.

How many more times I can start my truck to keep my feet warm before running out of gas.

Why most people come to Christian Forums, if all they plan to do is debate.

My prayer life.

Gods love for me.

Christ's sacrifice.

The debt that I owe Him.

If I'm gonna get run out of this parking lot tonight.

If my truck will make the 1400 mile trip to my new job without breaking down.

Am I walking in the Spirit.

Wondering what totally awesome thing God is going to do in my life next.

If this is how this thread is supposed to work.

And I guess, how much more peace and happiness I have over and above what I truly deserve.

God is good.

To buy or not to buy, that is the question.

Update: I bought it.

I'm looking into TLV Bibles as that's what the online congregation I get messages from on Sabbath uses. My ESV is just so far away that it really throws me.

What a pity I had to work the past two nights. I missed out on seeing a performance of The Nutcracker again in Shreveport (I used to live there and once saw the ballet about ten years ago, and it's only about 90 minutes away from where I live now). ^-^

Also, an unusual night at work just now. A small dog I'd never seen hanging around the plant before, looking like a cross between a chihuahua and a dachshund, wandered into the lab, and I worried about it wandering around further outside in such a dangerous environment as a chemical plant, so I felt obliged to keep it in my small section - closed off by doors unlike the other area and small enough for her to never really be out of my sight - until my coworkers and I could think of something to do with her. She looked only one step above emaciated, too, so someone else went to the kitchen to find food for her, to which she seemed eager to accept. Fortunately after a few hours my coworker Erin got the idea to text her husband and see if he'd be willing to give her at least a temporary home, though she rather surprisingly labeled herself as not much of a dog person, and asked me to carry it down to security where she'd be picked up, finding the dog a bit too mangy and unpleasantly-scented for Erin to carry it over, herself . I was sorry on one hand to give her away and assume I will never see her again, as I had developed something of a bond with her over the few hours we'd kept her inside the lab building, but still, it was a relief to know she will be in a solid home for at least a while, instead of wandering about the plant site where a dog as small as she is would be all the more likely to have an accident there, and have to rely on the kindness of other people in the buildings around the site to keep her even decently fed, which you can't really count on. And in any event, if it weren't for Erin's family being willing to take her in so soon, I would have had the unfortunate task of having to turn her loose outside the lab before leaving this morning; we all would have surely been in trouble with management/supervision for keeping her inside all night, when they came to work for the day shift.

... Anyway, there's my exciting story about what's been going on in my life recently for the hangout thread.

Sarah's Knight became a canine whisperer earlier tonight.

I assume that is the same Erin you used to be interested in?

It's been several months since my last post - and I have to say, my life has completely changed, particularly this year.

I may add to the list of "good bye" threads, and if I do, I'll write it after Christmas and before the new year. Let's face it, I'm one of the ageing hipsters of this particular forum, and little more than a lost nostalgic figure of the 2013-15 era. Moreover, to call myself single at this point would be a farce, I've been in a steady relationship for quite some time now. Her family (especially her brother) already see me as one of their own. Her mother speaks mostly Thai, but the smiles and the copious amounts of food, say it all.

I know what you're thinking "you're unequally yoked, surely she's Buddhist" - well, no. My partner kinda' bucks the trend in her family, if you catch my drift. She's a rebel like me, as I'm basically the son of a Wiccan mother and found the Christian faith all on my own.

But mostly, Mr Moe, Toro, Miss S and the rest of the entourage have all long gone, and I'm all that seems to be left. It's probably time for me to fly the nest as well, I don't really belong anymore.

Happy to hear everything seems to be going well for you! You're gonna be missed, man.

Hey everyone! I have been gone a while as well. Lots of great things going on in my life. I was hired as a hospice chaplain for a large company, still a full-time student, and soon to become the associate pastor at my church. I cannot believe how different things are from just a year ago and how busy I am. I hope you are all doing well! I think about this place every once in a while.

No small job, man. I hope you do great as one. *salutes*

Yes.


Here is the dog we found, by the way, sitting near my chair in my lab.


...


(Or I was going to show her, but can't. Sorry.

Anyway, she was a cute dog who did in fact look like a cross between a chihuahua and a dachshund like one of the others suggested when I found her about to run into the main lab room and picked her up before a bad accident involving bromine could happen. It would not have been pretty.)

"Thank you for the not yet. Thank you for the not now. Thank you for the no."............

I'd be lying if I said I'd be happy for you if you were unequally yoked.

You must have a interesting testimony. It is strange how we often find it on our own - (or God finds us rather , no different then when Jesus calls the first disciples.

You've been called to so great a calling. We are cheering for you. The Holy Spirit must be burning bright in you!

I am trying to figure out tonight's Final Jeopardy! without Googling anything, and it's requiring some serious brain power.

 

[RileyG]

Everyone, may I ask for your prayers for my peace, for I have experienced a myriad of unpleasant and disturbing things in the last 24 hours, both at work and in my dreams. I do not want to say what they were aloud, but some of it was my own sin (for a little knight I sure do have a big mouth sometimes ).

God bless!
