Saturday, June 11, 2005 Hi Shawn & PatWelcome to this site. I'm Michele and have my roots in the country but now live in a suburb of Melbourne Australia, I've got four kids, with two married and my husband is a Pastor.Nice to see the way your name is spelt Shawn - just like it sounds - and not like our old friend Sean Connery. It will be good to get your input and Pat's into this site. As for the unclean foods - I'll have to look into it. Having just come home from shopping my brain isn't firing on all four cylinders. My sister-in-law who lives in LA just sent us a book entitled "Man of Faith - the Spiritual Journey of George W Bush". Have either of you read it? This is a bit ---"Nobody spends more time on his knees than George W Bush, The Bush administration hums to the sound of prayer. Prayer meetings take place day and night. It's not uncommon to see White House functionaries hurrying down corridors carrying Bibles" (pg 158) Another bit that is on the blurb - "I'm not after the votes...I am here [in the Oval Office]...sharing concerns because someday I'm going to stand before God, and I want to hear Him say, 'Well Done!' I hope that's why we are all here.- George W.Bush" I know that we have a world divided with people who either love him or hate him. Seeing he hasn't dropped into my home I can't say that I know the man. I have conflicting views myself, and when my eldest son saw the book he couldn't believe it and didn't agree with it. On the next subject:- "Touchiness, too, is a mark of the sinful self. The more prickly a person is, the more he or she is using the defence of a false self. Some people bristle easily if they are not taken seriously, thus betraying their need to cover up feelings of unimportance. Others take themselves too seriously and are unable to laugh as themselves. All these things suggest we are not comfortable with our inner selves. We are living falsely rather than truly." I can get very touchy - and I have alot of sinful self. When I was a teenager I was like a prickly pear, which when it was boiled down showed major insecurities, which with God's help I am learning each day to live with and to some extent, overcome. So many times we cover up our true feelings.My grandmother would always say to keep a "stiff upper lip" and not get too emotional. Shock, horror if there were to be a visitor in our church who would call out 'Amen' or 'hallelujah'! I don't mind it now-a-days, at least it shows that the congregation aren't all sleeping. Later - Michele # posted by shellymac @ 2:15 pm 0 comments
