Bible Discussion Thread

Giannis, I am in the same boat as you with my sons. They were brought up in the faith and walked away as teens. It has been over 20 years now, and I am still praying for them all to return to the Lord, as well as the person they are making a life with. I will continue to pray for your son, too.

I always am blessed by your posts. The board has been kind of spotty lately as far as robust conversations. And there have not been as many prayer requests and questions as was normally submitted. I hope this changes. I love hear from many different folks who have frequented this forum and I hope more who may be reading but not posting will also join the conversations with us.

All are welcome.

Giannis & GiGi, was fixen to respond to what you said about your kids & your husband then somehow hit a wrong button, & now can't find it. So I shall say it here*. Yet first off I'd like to address Giannis & say, "I too have been in the same boat. My eldest son was satanic. He also was brought up in the faith & walked away at 17. At 36, thank the Lord, he became a believer. So you see, with unconditional love & prayer, all is possible.! Eventually we all turn back to our heavenly father. I too shall pray for you & yours.!!

*K..to original response of your kids & husband GiGi, "that's fantastic. Seems all is going well. Super happy for y'all. As for your husband & his free time, has he ever given it any thought into joining the Patriot Guard? He chooses when he rides or not to ride. I was in for a short time in Utah. Not only did we do parades, they get to be part in burning of many American flags..it's done in a 'very proper manner'.! They also do funerals for fellow Patriots & (I had to work but..) my fellow PGs were part of the ride in taking one of the last remaining "code talkers" to his resting place after his passing in May 2019. God bless & be with you both.

Dear Texsis, thanks for your kindness to us. I know that God will turn our sons back to Him in His time. I am called to persist in prayer for them and others I know who are prodigals.

My husband is not much of a "group person". He likes to do stuff by himself most of the time. He bough a whole bunch of tools last year to do woodworking projects. We work on those together. He likes to rice solo on His motorcycle rides. I told hi I was going to get him a license plate that says wither "IGOSOLO" or IMALONR". We laugh about that, but it is very true.

Thanks for the info about the Patriot Guard.

I just got done transplanting some plants. Hubby is on a ride again today, but a much shorter one, maybe four hours. Enough time for me to get something done with my plants. A few weeks ago I weeded a big patch of ground behind my back fence. The neighbor that owns it is 84 and cannot do it. So I have done it for the past three years since they took two cedars down and left it open. Well, this time I got a really bad reaction to something in the dirt there (most likely the cedar chips left from the chain sawing. Well, both of my calves ended up severely blistered with an angry rash. I have needed to keep out of the dirt since then and have wrapped my legs with ace bandages over dressing pads to allow for healing. I have not returned to my vegetable garden since then because I need to turn over the soil to plant seeds. I am nearly healed from the rash, so I hope to get into the garden this next week.

Weird how sometimes you react to something and other times you don't.

Anyway, I appreciate your prayers and hope that you are doing well. Are you still living with your son?

Both good plate ideas.."IGOSOLO or IMALONR". That's weird about the rash. Maybe you happened some critters nest after-all it is that time of year. Pray your legs get better soon. I tried a garden, no luck. Only thing I can grow is Dandelions so I make tea. Love it. & can do herbs in window. Yet, for $30-40, I did make a 5 gallon bucket of Laundry soap that will last long & have enough ingredients to make 4 more (5 gal) buckets. Yes still at my son's. He finally realized that the KJV is the only true bible, Thank God & friend from the UK sent us some books and a bible dating back to the 1600s & it matches the KJV I have every jot & tittle so that helped his belief. Amazing how God works at times ha? Fixen to watch a movie on Pureflix..God bless & be w/you and yours.

Texsis. I don't believe there was a nest there, just a bunch of common weeds I am familiar with. The rash never itched but I know that I do get rashes from all types of cedar plants when I brush up against the bows. So the chips must have still had some sap in them. I think that it will be healed enough in a few days for me to go without bandages and get digging in the garden beds. Hope to be able to plant seeds this week.

Cool that you make your own laundry soap. Hope your son digs into the Word and that the Holy Spirit opens his mind up to the truths it contains, especially ones that he needs to understand at this time in his life.

Going off to bed now. God's blessings to you always.
