In Article: Care IIHey everyone. I just finally was able to get the internet hooked up. Soooo, you are my first communication on the net. Like you said Theresa, I am in Az. We arrived here last Monday a week ago. Or was it Tuesday? I am not remembering so good. We had a long trip. It took us a week to get here from Minneapolis. It was a long way. In fact almost 2400 miles to our house. WE could not go very far each day cause it is so hard for hubby to sit. We only made it 200 miles one day cause he was going crazy. That place did not have internet so was really boring. It just happened to be on the fritz that day or I would have been in touch.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving at my Aunts house. She lives about 2 miles from us down here. Then on Friday of last week, we took off from here and went to Rocky point down in Mexico. It is a small resort shrimping town. It has wonderful beaches and a wonderful string of huge condo hotels. It is lovely and close for us. About a 5 hr drive. We just road along with another fella and didn't have to worry about the drive. It is on the inside of the baha. A/nother name for it is Porta Penasco. Not sure of the spelling but it is something like that. Anyway, I ate enough shrimp fixed anyway you can imagine. I am sure we all added 5 pounds.
Tomorrow I have to get busy and get our house in order to leave and do the laundry. We leave here and fly home to Minot. Actually we fly into Bismarck and will have to drive from there. I hate to leave now but that is our plan. '
We recieved some very sad news today. Our dear neice who has been wanting a baby for a long time just had a miscarriage today. I am devastated for her. She has a little boy who is 8 and has lost 3 babies now. They have tried about everything for her. Pray for her and her hubby. I am so glad they did not tell the little boy. It is such a blow to them. They thought it would really work this time.
Well, I have lots of emails to answer so I will be in touch later. I missed you all and your posts. I don't have time to go back and read it all but will later.
Later ladies! Reply...

In Article: Care IIHello everyone how are you today? I am still recovering from a long weekend. My friend Maureen that has been here for the past four days left this morning, now I will sleep. We had a good time, we did not go out very much, just hung out played the Nintendo Wii allot. I love the Wii, Wii sports resort is the best game. We did sword fights, bowling, more sword fight, tennis, I love that game.
So what is everyone asking Santa for? Me I want the new Waterpik toothbrush,
http://www.waterpik.com/oral-health-products/countertop-dental-water-jet/WP-100/
It costs about $140.00, it is the hot gift for this Christmas, and most places are sold out. It is new; it actually squirts water while you brush. You all know how much I love me; I have great teeth, thanks to your tax dollars and the United States Air Force. I have about eleven thousand dollars of porcelain veneers in my mouth. They are not dentures they are all permanent. I lost a few of my front teeth in a bar fight at Andrews Air Force base. Here comes a story, so if you don’t care skip to the next paragraph. I was a young two striper in the Air Force, but I was a Law Enforcement person, and I had a gun and a night stick, so I thought I was unstoppable. We were called to fight at the NCO club, now at Andrews there were Marines and Navy also assigned for the support of Marine One. Every now and then there would be a bar fight, I was with my best partner Ray he was a Sergeant. We had no idea how bad it was until we entered. So I entered where the bar fight was I screamed “Halt Security Police”, you guessed it, Bam out cold. Now I am not sure what really happened, but I was told the fight stopped and everyone was trying to find three missing teeth that knocked out. You can never tell now, all my teeth are porcelain. I love my teeth. Okay enough about me.
Care I hope your husband had a great birthday; I am a fan of ringtones. My regular ringtone is “I Gotta feeling”, by the Black Eyed Peas, I love the Black Eyed Peas. My have my husbands ringtone set to “Money”, by Pink Floyd.
KO I have the Soup Kitchen this week, please come by for lunch 1130-1230, but you came earlier. KO what is favorite type of soup, I will make it. Don’t make it an easy soup; I like to make a soup that is better that any restaurant in Minot, just name it. I am also making fresh banana cake, with banana frosting. It takes 11 bananas; it is in a half sheet cake.
Curly, I know you are in Arizona, but please tell us how it is going.
Shoppe did you see this story, Pirates too over an American oil ship. It could be a mess.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/01/world/africa/01pirates.html?_r=1&hp
Well I have to bring my friends shopping, it is Monday.
Shoppe for you,
Yo! Is this a pimp or what?
I still think that last guy was a girl, he has panty lines.
I love you all Theresa

When it is slow like this I think about all the things I could be doing around the house. Laundry....pick up the magazines that have accumulated. We all get more than one a month...I throw out my old issue when the new arrives...Rol and Johnboy both will hang onto all their issues for months and months. They don't know it but when they aren't around I will toss whatever ones I come across. Hahaha!!! Cabela's...OMG, a new catalog every other day comes in. One for ammo, fishing, hunting, womens, kids, xmas, spring, fall, Geesh, there might as well be one for full moon, rain, pets, and friends too. So many catalogs and mags come in that when I am the one checking the mail I won't even bring in some of them...in the trash they go. They don't even make into the house. Well of the Victoria Secrets catalog does...they have great shoes. Have a great day. Love, care29 xoxoxox Shoppe how was your Saturday Holiday? T and Si, you two are getting together again?

In Article: Care IIMan...hahahaha...those pictures make me laugh. How is everyone? I am AWAKE....why do I wake soooo early on days off?  Shelbinator is sleeping at her uncle's. Johnboy is at his Mom's. House was quiet last night. rol and I watched a couple of episodes of Criminal Minds...went to sleep early. Now I am up.  Oh well, coffee is good.  It is Rol's 46th Bday today. There is a nice bottle of cologne and a talking, Hoops & YoYo card. I love Hoops & Yoyo. I go to hallmark.com sometimes. They have ecards. Some are similar to the Marilyn posted for us. H&Y are funny. Check 'em out if ya ever find yourself in the card section at any store. I got Rol one once...the Whistle from The Good The Bad The Ugly...our favorite western, played when he opened it. His ringtone is that too. Too funny.  Have a great day everyone. Love, care29 xoxoxo Reply...
I understand their will always be certain doctrines that people will disagree on but when you get the doctrine of salvation wrong then that is a different gospel and a different Jesus.
So I wrote this whole big thing on birthdays and had all this stuff I found but lost it!!!!!!
So you get the shorten version (I hear cheering in the background) hahaha
Ok Job was upright man of God, his sons had a birthday. :Job said (8804), It may be that my sons have sinned (8804), and cursed (8765) God in their hearts.
"It may be" my sons have sinned, Job was tight with the Lord so there would be no might, if birthdays were wrong Job would not have said "It may"
Job was saying maybe they cursed God in their hearts but it is obvious it wasn't because they celebrated their birthday.
Now the problem I am running into is everything we do on birthdays has pagan roots. From the candle blowing to the hats to the presents to the make a wish.......might not be able to find a loophole in the customs and traditions of modern day birthdays but birthdays in and of itself does not seem to be a sin. How they are celebrated is what I have concern about.
Dang people, I ain't even done digesting Thanksgiving Day (which does not appear to have originated in paganism) and your hitting me with birthdays........Birthdays are ok as it appears but the customs and traditions of it is just might be pagan.

You and I can both be saved, and be christians, but yet not agree totally the same.
We probably should see eye to eye on all things, but we don't.
I never kneel in front of the tree to pray to Jesus....
Jesus doesn't knock you out of his kingdom is you are not perfect. Graham isn't perfect, meyers, hagee... me.... you..... none of us have the gospel PERFECT. I MEAN PERFECT, NOT JUST CLOSE.
Have a wonderful night guys, my sons are taking us all to the movies. on Speedway Blvd.... Reply...
shoppe here is some quotes from these people I mentioned:
Joyce Meyers,: "Jesus didn't pay for our sins on the cross he paid for them in hell"
, different gospel, different Jesus.
Billy graham: "There are many ways to God"
, different gospel, different Jesus.
Toronto Blessing, geez....where do I start, I can promise you these preachers coming out of that are not of God. Unless kicking an elderly person in the nose with "biker boots" is the way their god operates. Whatever happened to the still quiet voice that stands at the door and knocks?
apparently Jesus is in the business of kicking , punching, tackling.....Want to hear him say it on video? Does it really matter? Would it make a difference? What if I listed page after page of false demonic doctrine these people spread? Would anyone care? I could show them on video saying blasphemis things leading the multitudes into a different Jesus. Quotes they say that are directly against Gods Word but really would it matter? I heard there is a quote from a Catholic Pope or Bishop that said "how dare you call us sisters in christ WE ARE YOUR MOTHER!!!
he said that to the Lutheran Leadership. and he was right, most are daughters of their mother the Catholic Church.
Billy Graham sure was. He 100% embraced the Pope and said he was the most godly man he ever met?
You see the one thing that is different about me is I studied these false preachers for years, I know what they teach, how they teach and the deception being spewed out by these wolves in sheeps clothing,,,,,do you think the devil will be the one who jumps up and down and says "here I am".........shopp even if he did would anyone even recognize it?..........Look at this video, this guy is a byproduct of the toronto blessing which seemed to upset you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNGPjFYdgJw&feature=related
I cannot even watch these things because I get so upset that I don't want my kids to wonder why "dads" crying.
I understand your intentions are right but when you defend these people it makes me think you are one of them, a false teacher. I have been guilty as well so I ain't pointing figures cause most people don't even give it a second thought, but I am here today telling everyone to give EVERYTHING a second thought. Pray about the things discussed in this topic, study these different topics out, if we don't we could be preaching and teaching and leading people straight into the arms of people like Todd Bentley, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyers and yes even Billy Graham.
Peace

No if you go back 4000 years we are talking about Sumerians... Reply...
Hi all I'm back, the house showing went well......and I got a clean house out of the deal. Ok ND lets just say I never questioned your or anyones intent. I have no doubt what so ever that your intentions are to serve God during these pagan holidays. Paul loved God and his intentions were just as genuine as yours but what happened to Paul on the road to demaskus?
Peters heart was genuine and his intent was godly but Jesus turned to him and said get thee behind me satan.....why did Jesus say that,? Peter and Pauls intentions were good right?
so again I will say your intent is genuine but don't let your heart be decieved into thinking you can honor the Lord Jesus Christ with customs and traditions of baal.
Sicko if I go back 4000 yrs bc where talking Adam and Eve?
Shoppe how ya doing on the false teachers?
Ok so to stop this running in circles about something that really is milk I cannot give you any more then what I gave, re-read the Lawn Mower story again, check an encylopedia.
My hands are clean.
But as you and your children are on your knees in front of the tree remember the pagan knees did the same thing, on the same day with all the same exact traditions you hold on to.
