Divorce after Twenty years together Community Group
I want to start something for those of us that were married for a long long time. I think that we face a little different issues than those who were dating for a few years or even married for shorter period of time. Being married for so long we have older children some have grandkids dealing with teenagers and their reaction to the divorice empty nesters dating after 40...
I got this emailed to me and had to share!
Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement there and when his plane arrived there was a limousine to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver.
"You know" he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?"
The driver said, "No problem. Have at it."
Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure. The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see
who was driving. He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor. He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law.... But I also know that important people are
given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person."
The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?" The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that."
The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president."
The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that." The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"
The young trooper said, "I think it's Jesus, because he's got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!"
Smile - God loves you!

Personally I have questioned the existence of a God that would allow such pain, suffering and unfairness to occur. I had issues with the church before this happened and now it's much worse, but I am here to listen if you need to rage, even if it is to or about God.
threw out the computer and cut the cable. i asked what's next you tell me what to wear? he just looked at me and smiled. that waas the end. we met with the pastor and he backed him up and told me to get saved. don 't think so. thanks for listening
Anyway, I didn't want to offend in any way or put you on the spot, just hoping you have something to pull strength from. Hugs!!
