Mothering Sunday - am I being unreasonable?Sometimes there is no reasonable explanation. People get moody or hold grudges that make no sense to anyone else except the one carrying it.ViewDate:

Would you consider France as a family holiday destination?>>> At one point I saw my mum standing at the end of a pew. A nice Jewish lady she was in floods of tears. That was her son singing and it brought her to a deep place. Not so long after that she embraced Jesus, and a couple of years later so did I! How amazing--the grace and favour of God bestowed upon both of you!! AMEN and AMEN!!ViewDate:

Would you consider France as a family holiday destination?Thought you might get a chuckle out of this true story (my own convent experience). As you probably know all things are somber and serious, especially during something that they called "Grand Silence". You do not talk or make any noise after 9 p.m. Well, I was new to convent life at the time and was determined to do my very best. I went to what I thought was the linen closet only to discover that it was storage closet of cleaning supplies (brooms, buckets,mops etc.) As I opened it, one of the buckets fell off its hook and landed on my foot, sending it all the way down the stairwell that ran alongside of it. (BANG BANG!!) Well the proper thing to do was to go the following morning in front of the entire community of nuns and ask for a penance. So I said to the Mother Suoerior and other nuns, "I have come before you to ask for a penance for having broken grand silence last evening. I'm sorry but I kicked the bucket." All seriousness turned to laughter!! I got a penance of having to kneel to eat my very next meal.ViewDate:

Would you consider France as a family holiday destination?LOL--well let me be honest and say that I am not near as interesting a person as you are Lionel. I just added to another one of your post over yonder. You are a wealth of knowledge and I hope to READ more. rather than post more. Goodness sake--I could get dubbed the internet stalker by people who don't understand that old folks can still learn from somebody younger than they. Keep smilin brother!ViewDate:

Is marriage outdated?I use one credit card and limit it to needs vs. wants and pay it off each and every month. I received several other cards due to my excellent credit rating, but hesitate to use them because I prefer to keep track of each thing I spend. LOL--when I check my one used card--groceries is 90% of it.ViewDate:

Would you consider France as a family holiday destination?WOW----it is fabulous that you chose to share all of the above facts with me and the other readers here. When you spoke at the convents and monasteries, what was your favorite subject to present? If I were the speaker, mine would have been the subject of God's grace! I really learned more about that when I left the convent and did many various Bible studies. I was brought up in an extremely fanatical atmosphere and was constantly programmed with the concept of hell-fire from the age of 5. I was told that only nuns and priests had found the right way to heaven. LOL So--as I matured and found out that "others" can enter heaven due to the salvation offered on Calvary's cross, I went on my happy way walking in the wonderful grace of God. We faithful ones know that grace is NOT a license to sin. I was in an open teaching order and found that teaching children delighted me immensely but I could not remain truly happy without having my very own.ViewDate:

Would you consider France as a family holiday destination?I love to read about your experiences and others as well. Makes for a good education in real time. You might find it interesting that I was once a Notre Dame nun. (Sister Mary Bernadine) I left the convent and got married and had 4 children (2 girls and 2 boys). Now I have 7 grandkids. I also have a twin sister in Colorado. Many folks have told me to write a book about my life but I just never had the desire.ViewDate:

Volunteering - how was it for you?I was fortunate enough to volunteer for 6 yrs. when my health was a bit better than it is now. It was a local group in my area of the US called the St. Vincent dePaul Society. I served as President when the former President passed away. 12 wonderful volunteers assisted me. Our goal was to provide food, clothing, gasoline for their old vehicles and diapers for babies. Vouchers for furniture such as beds, dining tables and chairs were also provided when the need arose. I LOVED the work and It was lifting a hand to the needy and showing them the love of God. We always enclosed a little note with the groceries to let them know that someone cared about them.ViewDate:

Billy Graham Has Died - [DELETED_MEMBER]Lionel, you said >>>"Here in the UK we have had so many would-be preachers aiming at stardom." If they have such selfish motivations, then Jesus Christ will take a back seat in their so-called ministry. HE IS THE STAR for all times. SHINE JESUS SHINE!! Prayers lifted for you and your wife---you both have wisdom and insight on Biblical matters.ViewDate:

Billy Graham Has Died - [DELETED_MEMBER]Thanks for your post and taking the time to make me feel welcome here. Indeed, it will be difficult to match his charisma, intellect, and concern for others within the vast preacher community of today. He was called by God with a unique purpose that was extremely widespread in its appeal. It has been said that "God equips the called". Billy Graham was one such person. Others will follow with the anointing of the Spirit upon them, but no one can fill Billy Graham's shoes--nor should they try. To each is given a special gift to be used for the glory of God.ViewDate:

Billy Graham Has Died - [DELETED_MEMBER]The Rev. Billy Graham had a profound effect on people of all ages. He could capture his audiences attention simply by being himself and bringing the message of Christ's love and forgiveness to a hurting world. His message let people know that salvation was available to the worst of sinners. Come "Just as You Are" was his favorite theme. Christ will work transformation upon the willing and sincere heart. To God be the glory!ViewDate:

Should childhood vaccination be mandatory?Since parents are responsible for infants and children, perhaps doing some research beforehand on the "cause and effect" of vaccinations in relationship to various diseases would at least create a well- informed decision on their part.ViewDate:
