Mat 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Mat 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Black hole... maybe seems like a loss of intelligent conversation? Anyway I am new here and WIll keep an eye out

WHAT IS GOD TRYING TO TEACH ME.

ROGER THE MINISTER - VERSES

Psa 138:1 A Psalm of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
Psa 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
Psa 138:3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
Psa 138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
Psa 138:5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
Psa 138:6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
Psa 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
Psa 138:8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

I haven't been around in a while. Sorry. I am in Seminary, and old lady struggling to obey God. I don't even know what I am going to do with an M.Div. when I am finished, I just know that I am learning and growing. I have a lot of illnesses, both physical and mental, but my relationship with God helps me be sane.

Right now I am wearing a t-shirt that says "God is in control". Rev. 19:6, loosely paraphrased. That is what works for me. I lost my voice 8 months ago to an RA nodule in my left vocal fold. As someone who leads worship, loves singing, to say nothing of talking and reading out loud, it was very hard to trust God. I just took a preaching course, and didn't have my whole voice, but the other students thought my speech was great. On the way home, I realized my voice was returning. Today it is even better. I have to wonder, whether the enemy was attacking me, because I wasn't able to even take the course last year, my voice was so bad. Or perhaps God was teaching me a lesson. Whatever, I can only praise God for restoring my voice. I was reading the Psalms when this happened, up in the 100's - like verse 1 above. I knew God was promising to restore my voice, so I could sing his praises, I just wasn't sure if it was going to be in this life, or when he returns.

LET YOU SEND YOU WHO I AM AND MY STORY.

ROGER THE MINISTER

OPPS. LET ME SEND YOU A MESSAGE OF INTRODUCTION AND THEN MY STORY OF HOW I GOT HERE. LET ME CHECK MY TYPING FIRST BEFORE I SUBMIT. I HAVE TO USE ALL CAPS BECAUSE I HAVE DIABETIC NEUROPHY IN MY LEFT HAND.

ROGER

I just joined 4 minutes ago. i followed TREGOR over here from DS "Believers in Jesus Christ" where a nudest psychiatrist and a guy with a bunch of palm trees on his avatar used to crucify him (TREGOR, probably Jesus too!) Peace.

P.S. I hope there's life here! Tom

DID I EVER SAY THAT THE PSYCHIATRIST WAS A NUDIST?

ROGER

No, Roger. But he mentions it on his main page. For some reason he keeps mentioning it over and over. He and his wife live at a nudist resort in central Florida. He began to correct or put an officious touch on the few posts I ever made. I'm probably over-sensitive. I'm somewhat new at this. All I know is that I followed it closely, back a few months before Christmas when they sort of "ganged up" on you. Mostly it was that Moreah guy, or whatever his name was. He did not like it when you quoted any scripture. It's was painful to read it. I had to watch it for a while, to see which way it would go. Recently I thought I saw a pattern there, so looked it up to see who you were. No big deal. If I was still a full-blown Charismatic I would say that one or the other of them was "a strong man" of that "house". Mmmm? Tom

TOM. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS GIVE OUT THE WORD OF GOD AND THEN LET GO AND LET GOD.
