And though I do need to figure out a way to get that cilantro paste off the ceiling, THIS IS GREAT. First, I cannot believe how much more of the veggies I can use just by throwing it all in. And because I am always making potstickers and/or stirfry, I cannot believe how beautifully SMALL the Food Processor gets everything. I got a Hamilton Beach 10 cup Food Processor. In 25 minutes I had everything chopped! It even minced the meat!

I am seriously grieved that with everything women on this forum have written about: hair, and skirts, and birth control, nobody ever mentioned food processors. ]]> The Ladies Room BASSENCO http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-ladies-room/75793-food-processor-wwwwwiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrr.html Women in Christianity video http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-ladies-room/75745-women-in-christianity-video-new-post.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:57:56 GMT YouTube- Women in Christianity ]]> The Ladies Room jeri fletcher http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-ladies-room/75745-women-in-christianity-video.html I guess it was funny http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-ladies-room/75742-i-guess-it-was-funny-new-post.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:12:35 GMT My kids stared at me with shocked suprise as I was stood there, spattered with baking soda and vinegar and my three year old son burst out excitedly,...

I've been hesitating to share it, because I don't know how well it will go over, but I've been feeling a strange compulsion to put it on the forum... and after a few weeks of this compulsion, I'm going to guess it's the Holy Spirit telling me to do it. :) I got a blessing out of it, and I hope you do too. This is an excerpt from a Q&A article, written by Randy Alcorn, about Heaven:

When a baby dies, does he remain young, grow up, or mature instantly in Heaven?

Bible Answer Man Hank Hanegraff suggests: "Our DNA is programmed in such a way that, at a particular point, we reach optimal development from a functional perspective. For the most part, it appears that we reach this stage somewhere in our 20s and 30s... If the blueprints for our glorified bodies are in the DNA, then it would stand to reason that our bodies will be resurrected at the optimal stage of development determined by our DNA".

The hypothesis doesn't necessarily mean children who die won't be children in heaven. Isaiah 11:6-9 speaks of a place, presumably the new earth, where "the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them... The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand in the viper's nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain." Is it possible that after they're resurrected, children will be at the same developmental level as when they died?

If so, these children will likely grow up on the new earth. Such a childhood would be enviable! Although I'm speculating, I believe parents whose hearts broke at the death of their children not only might reunite with them, but might also experience the joy of watching them grow up... in a perfect world.





(emphasis mine)

That last sentence gets me every time.

Well, there it is... I hope it doesn't upset anyone. Please let me know if it does, and I'll delete it. ]]> The Ladies Room Violet http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-ladies-room/75673-a-few-words-about-children-in-heaven.html An Old Letter http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-ladies-room/75663-an-old-letter-new-post.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:51:01 GMT (It took awhile for me to realize that this was concerning "Mizpah", not Charlotte.)

As I drove home from my appointment at the doctor's office, I was treated to song after song of God's love and faithfulness: "Precious Lord take my hand, lead me on, help me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn....No one is so near, so dear as Jesus. Cast your every care on him!"
I am tired. I don't want to be faithless. But my prayers have changed from asking for faith for what I want to happen, to having faith in God for what he wants. I have had great peace through all of this and a few good cries that relieved me. God has sent so many dear Christian friends to comfort me, I almost feel embarassed for all the attention. I kept thinking, I've got to write about all of this- about all the wonderful testimonies I've heard, folks sharing how God is so good and how he was faithful to them in their hour of need. But I couldn't just then. I felt like being very quiet, like a lamb. I was- waiting, waiting on the Lord. But I was being minist ered to by the saints, and it was sustaining me.

Back to Friday, and driving to my appointment. At first, as I listened to the message of the songs, I wasn't thinking about the singer. I had thought God was speaking to me through the message of the song, and I was confused, thinking, "Why are you sending me these conflicting messages about how you answer prayer, and you hear our cries? When it looks like you aren't going to answer my prayers??"
And a thought came to me. What is my biggest pet peeve? Its people who think wrong things about God. People that think God is mean. They talk about him, but you can tell that they don't know him at all! It grieves me so much that I find myself many times, defending God and telling folks how good he really is. So, I realized, listening to the song, that the singer...is a likeminded believer! singing about what God has done in their life! So I started rejoicing with them about what God had done in their life. And I found I could be happy that God was doing all these things for other believers right now, even if it wasn't my turn for my way, it was for my dear brethren who really know how good God is and who love him as much as I do. And I was woo-hooing down the road and crying with joy, and so happy that God loves every believer as much as he loves me, and that he means as much to them as he means to me.

"He's more wonderful than my mind can conceive, he's more wonderful than my heart can believe. He goes so far beyond my highest hopes and fondest dreams. He's everything that my heart ever longed for, everything that I ever wanted and, oh, so much more! He's more than amazing...more than marvelous, more than miraculous could ever be. He's more than wonderful, more than wonderful...that's what Jesus means to me."

When I was wondering how this could redound to his glory, asking him why this would happen, he opened my eyes to many blessings in my life. I realized that, while God didn't answer my question the way I expected, he did answer! He showed me. He seemed to say, "Just look. Look at what I AM doing. Don't look at what I haven't done- Look at all I have done in your life." And, as I did, I had a peace of knowing he was in control here, too. And that he was doing things I had no idea now, but will look back on like I am doing now.
Reflection. Its a thing of the past. So much one can learn if we take the time to pause and reflect on what God has brought us through.

Since writing this, today (Saturday) I received the final conclusion of my bloodwork: "There will be no baby from this pregnancy."
Dan and I have prayed together and comforted each other, and have peace.
I miss my baby that was within me. Even though it was a short time, he gave us great joy. We were happy to have him, and willing to "do this" again. I believe God knows that, and that we had the right attitude. I still trust him and believe his plans for me are good.

So now I know what it's like. I hope I can comfort someone else, someday, as all my wonderful Christian friends have comforted me.

I will have a follow up visit, but the doc thinks I'll be fine.
The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Thankyou for your letter and your prayers. You were a great comfort. I'm so thankful to be counted as your friend. God has just filled y'all with so much of Christ's love, and we appreciate it.
Love,___________
ps. Sammy (10) had a hard time with the news today. he is so sweet and sensitive. I had already had my cry and put on my make up for church. Then he came in crying and he got me going again. We prayed, and I told him that, although we wouldn't see that baby's face here on earth, that baby opened his eyes in heaven and got to see Jesus' face instead. We should be happy for him. Trusting God has helped us to accept this light affliction, which is but for a moment, and worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. ]]> The Ladies Room jeri fletcher http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-ladies-room/75663-an-old-letter.html Can too much of a good thing be Wrong? http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-ladies-room/75661-can-too-much-of-a-good-thing-be-wrong-new-post.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:09:01 GMT Poor Rider got thinking when he said he doubted there were such cases where a woman gave her all and was abused.

For you or any women who is good looking, keep care of themselves and dresses nice.....

How do you deal with guys constantly checking you out? I dont mean stalking or staring uncontrollably, I mean always looking as in 'nice....'

As a male I consider myself above average, but I never experience this. Girls are more controlled and look at things differently. But males are simple in that the cover of the book is all that is important.

Do you just ignor it but inside hate it and or love it? Is it just life and you just get used to it, just as a policeman gets used to the looks when he is in public in uniform?

I beseech you, . . . brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.--As ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.--In Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy.

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.--I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.COL. 1. 10.

there's a note at the bottom of this page in my devotional, and it says, "Nov. 10th: my first OB appt.!!" (for Charlotte)

Now I'm reading this a year later, remembering joy of the past. And remembering the scriptures, how they strengthened me. But wondering, that my fruit did NOT remain. It's a comfort to know that a soul is eternal.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. Mine eye is consumed because of grief...
If you were to see my master bathroom, you'd see these little colored verses seemingly littered about. But they're not. They're kinda like candy wrappers from a binge frenzy.
When my heart is aching, I walk by my scripture bread box and pull a verse out. Usually, that verse is so pertinent, I can't put it back in, and I leave it out to look at again and again. But that doesn't stop me from pulling a new one out, and so I keep reading them and fret over which one(s) must be returned to the little loaf box.

Well, there's one on the radio in there that says, "Heaven and earth will pass away but my words shall never pass away."

and another "I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish"

"he bare the transgressions of many..."

and I think to myself, I *know* whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I've committed unto him.
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
He is faithful. ]]> The Ladies Room jeri fletcher http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-ladies-room/75359-an-acceptable-sacrifice.html giving up on nursing http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-ladies-room/75179-giving-up-on-nursing-new-post.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:47:31 GMT I am ready to just give up.

I don't understand that. People have been dressing up like Michael Jackson for Halloween for years. Anyway, the thinking is that little girls are going to emulate her, so she should have been more careful.
They never do say what is wrong with dressing up like your favorite rapper. I guess if you're white, everything is off limits and offensive!
I think it's unfortunate that they're not worried that little girls will emulate the risque outfits.
