LOL @ Tammy's "can lead to back roads that others on the highway may not see". Right now no one can see the back roads. They're snowed under.

So, unfortunately I did not get out Sunday. And they closed school again today and I still need to do some more shoveling, so I had to cancel a doctor appointment today. My back is still out of whack from trying to clear the car yesterday. It's at least 2 ft of snow.

But just so you know, I'm not in the woods anymore. When I got my house in March, it came with its own residential neighborhood. Unfortunately, it's a retirement community for the most part so not many young people around to help shovel.

LT, I can do about any night but Wednesday of course. Just whoever can run it let me know. I know you probably have a very busy schedule. What happened to JB? Wasn't he elected to do this last time? ;-)

With me, any night is really open since I don't have a schedule. So, that would also mean that any time is also fine with me.

Wow ... 13 responses to a single sentence. Time to let that go and if he wishes to respond and clarify his intent great, if not ....

Back to our topic. I do not think moving forward I can do Thursdays. The options are going to be one of the following:

1) Someone else lead the Thursday group.

2) Friday night with time to be determined.

3) Saturday with time to be determined.

4) Cease attempting to relaunch this or postpone.

Let me know your thoughts.

Lord Bless,

LT

Yes..  we should all give each other the benefit of the doubt.  I believe Eric's comment was meant to be harmless...I took it as an observation, a question....and a desire to always honor God.  That's why I commented that we honor God when we honor each other.  Amanda, your comment "we interpret them based on what we think we know about God".. of course this is true, we're all human.  We all have growing and learning to do.  It helps when we try to see things from one another's perspective.

There wasn't anything wrong with Seek's picture.  It wasn't disrespectful to God or to this group.  Fellowship is part of what we are called to.  Eric, I understand your desire to honor God, but please recognize that honoring God means to honor each other.  I understood Seeks' picture post to show that she is getting some horrible weather, and may not be able to participate in the online study group.  There's an old saying 'A picture is worth a thousand words'.  Bad weather can get in the way.  Anyway, what matters is that we are here for each other to support, encourage, and prompt each other to do good works.  It's okay to talk about our personal lives, as a matter of fact, it's encouraged.  I hope you can see the benefits and necessity of that.  Many of us are also on facebook, and we also post things there (which is great), but there's a special feeling about being able to come to a website which is dedicated to Christ followers specifically.  It feels a little more comfortable--like family--here.  I hope people continue to feel safe and encouraged to share their personal struggles and bring things forward for prayer and encouragement.  It's hard to be alone in a storm---whether it's a snow storm or a life tribulation.  Let's be here for each other.

And I have a right to mine. But, then again, do we really have a 'right' to anything? Are we even our own anymore that WE have a 'right'? You're so correct. I should not have been rude. And had I not even said I was being rude, you may not have even taken it that way. Had I just said the rest of my paragraph, would you have thought the same thing? Maybe I need to repost it without the rude statement. Would you have thought anything of his statements when he's being quite rude to our sisters because one is watching ever so mindfully because she could literally freeze in the weather and has seen many do so there? Then we have another one -who is a single parent mind you, with a child with special needs - who wasn't sure she could make THIS GROUP'S meeting due to the weather? That means her electricity would be shut down which could be quite dangerous where she is alone in those woods. So, if I remove the one sentence, maybe my comments would be more to the point. Thank you for your correction. I'll be ever mindful of them on my next post when someone else comes at those expressing their concerns.

Eric is entitled to his opinion. We're supposed to be nice not rude to people.

Comment by Tammy on January 24, 2016 at 2:25pm

And I agree Seek. Just go with it.

Comment by Tammy on January 24, 2016 at 2:24pm

Ask him. He knows how he meant it. Past experiences with folks & conversations with them can lead to back roads that others on the highway may not see that never speak to them or read their conversations.
