Friday, May 20, 2005 On Gippsland and Lingering.Geoff - how interesting to know that your dad lived in Longwarry as a young lad. I went to the Longwarry Union Church (Methodist) and was even married there. In the evenings we went to the little Methodist Church in Longwarry North which was situated along the Princes Highway. We were very involved in the night service. At one stage when I was aged between 5 and 9 (was I ever that young?)my parents and grandmother owned the Picnic Point Service Station in Longwarry North. Dad would never turn anyone away and one night counted 18 times when he got up to serve petrol. After that he bought a Shoe Shop in Bunyip and then in Drouin. My grandmother grew up in Thorpdale and my friend from school lives in Mirboo. It certainly is a small world.Carol - I enjoyed the post of what Joyce Meyer wrote as well as the one on Lingering. I think that I got disillusioned with BSF because there was no wavering from the scripted text. If there was someone in the group with a need to unburden themselves there was not the opportunity to do so. On the other hand - me, being of a rather peculiar type, often feels threatened when in a small group. Sometimes I don't say anything, and sometimes I say too much and want to cut out my tongue! I do believe though that fellowship is important, but we must be prepared to give of ourselves. But we need to realize that in giving of ourselves we are opening our hearts and minds to the threat of being hurt. At the same time we need to be able to accept friendship, and learn to trust. By the way, Wilf has spoken to RC's at length about the Immaculate Conception, and the people involved had no idea that the meaning of it was that Mary was born herself without sin - just as Christ was. I didn't know about the 'Bodily assumption'. Where on earth do people get these ideas? The preliminary meeting of the mens BSF was held in one of our Elder's homes on Wednesday night. It's a pity that our church building is not suitable for the meetings - not enough rooms. Til next time... # posted by shellymac @ 7:32 pm 0 comments
