    Greg,

    I'm not a bible thumper but I do enjoy your posts on verses on the
    bible some hit home!

    Well, one of the poems The Good Lord gave me is entitled "Absolutely Not!!"...and it references "Should a Bible be crammed down someone's
    throat??". God does NOT force Himself on folks...but gives us the free
    will and choice to accept it or reject it.

    In fact, on my BBS, I have Christian related items, but with this
    disclaimer:

    "Users are NOT REQUIRED to use the Christian related message areas, file areas, doors, or bulletins on the BBS, to stay online. If they decide to access them, it is to be of their own free will and choice. What they do
    with the information is up to them". I also have both "The Apocrypha" and
    "The Book Of Mormon" online. However, while I personally do not subscribe
    to what's in them, they are there (as the other Christian items) "for
    those who want them".

    The plan of salvation is so simple, but because of mankind's pride,
    they reject it because of its simplicity. Yet, everyone has to decide
    for themselves. One of the doors tells how to "Get This Free Gift".

    My Gospel Poetry Collection, at https://www.theweatherwonder.com/swj.htm
    has over 450 poems...some secular on my hobbies, but most are "sacred". It
    is designed as a ministry to the saved, and a witness to everyone else. One
    of the poems has one "Do You Have Time For Me?", and it is the most
    convicting for me personally. All of us have 1440 minutes in a day...we
    make time for what we want to do.

    As Hal Lindsey noted "If the believers ON Jesus are WRONG, we won't
    lose much when we die. And one day, we'll know who's right". I admit when
    I first heard the hymn "The Old Rugged Cross", I broke down and cried.

    I saw a picture on Facebook that noted "I would rather live my life as
    if there is a God, then die, and find out there isn't....than to live my
    life as if there isn't a God, then die, and find out there is!!".

    I used to do sing in choirs, and do mini concerts at area churches
    years ago, but with health and other issues, those days are long gone
    now.

    Mike,


    OK I am not receiving your posts so something is up.

    What was your first clue??

    First, I can't get contact with him, and now, my messages aren't
    posting. I wonder if I have to switch to QWK Networking with it??

    * SLMR 2.1a * Docs? Why look at the Docs? Nurses are better.

    You got that right!! But, nudity means nothing to them. Years ago,
    several of the ladies I square danced with, were nurses on my ward.
    They gave me a ton of grief!! <BG>

    At my age I like to think with all the hell I raised and was in being
    around friends and not so friends in the Detroit ghetto someone was looking
    after me. Just a lucky stupid metro Detroit kid.

    I saw a picture on Facebook that noted "I would rather live my life as if there is a God, then die, and find out there isn't....than to live my

    I agree I'd rather live knowing their is a God...

    I do read your post most everyday, thanks Daryl!

    Greg,

    I saw a meme that noted "Don't drive faster than your guardian angel
    can fly". <G>

    I think of the joke about the insomniac, dyslexic, agnostic, who lies
    awake at night, wondering if there is a dog. <G>

    I do read your post most everyday, thanks Daryl!

    That Today In History program was a big help. Now, if someone sees
    a typo (you need a second set of eyes on documents), they need to let
    me know.

    I thought of another blooper...where the church secretary was
    apparently thinking of their upcoming colonoscopy...because there
    was supposed to be an ad that the church was looking for a new
    rector...instead it was "looking for a new rectum" -- I guess the
    old one broke, and had a crack in it. <BG>
