I Would Pay To Meet ....

[SDG]

I would pay to meet the following 5 AFF posters.

1. OP Carl - Who is this con dude? Perhaps one the most brilliant minds on the forum. He's got to be someone of repute.

2 Pelathais - Who is this lib dude? Just as intelligent as OPC. He's got my attention.

3. Elder Strange - I've offered to treat this fella to dinner ... and he still hasn't taken my up on my offer.

4. RGCraig - none sweeter.

5. DeaconBlues - Dude is funnier and cooler than me.

[tamor]

Wasn't she quite the "kisser" years ago too??? Seems I remember some "older" threaders discussing this??? or was that Renda???

Yeah it was Renda! Kissing CC1!! And then she was in a sleeping bag up in a wheelchair with someone's crippled uncle a few months ago!!

:killinme:killinme

[tamor]

You forgot the red shoes!!

How did the sleeping bag get into the story?

Nah, I would have gotten there! It seems like I remember you had a hot date with someone's crippled uncle and you wore your red high heeled shoes. I don't remember the details about the sleeping bag. Maybe that was thrown in for dramatics!!

:killinme:killinme

[Hoovie]

Epley. " Lost as two boys in a sleeping bag. "

[Hoovie]

As bad as I hate to I must bow out of this conversation.....

:killinme:killinme
That's just all messed up - - - I was meeting MOW's brother and my knee was bad and I couldn't wear the red high heels, so the wheelchair was added to assist so that I could still wear the the red heels.

I think NLYP convoluted the story by quoting it all wrong and introducing the sleeping bad. He was just upset that it was breaking news and he was the last to know!!!

[Sister Alvear]

I am really conforted to know it is all left up to the one who sees every heart, every action and every deed and I have staked my whole eternity on the fact that God is love and His thinking is far above mine and someway in spite of all my shortcoming and failures He will say to me Welcome home...and to a host of weary tired pilgrims.

Hey - sorry it was so bad Rev.:angelsad

[Kansas Preacher]

Brother Parker's church is 13 miles due north of mine, on the same highway.

He's a great man.

[Coonskinner]

Thanks for forgetting me. I love you, too.

I knew I was forgetting someone.

I am so embarassed.

Please forgive me,Brother.

I want you all to know that this man is one of the best District Superintendents I was ever priviliged
to sit in a board meeting with.

No kidding.:)

[Coonskinner]

Right. For example, KP and Coonskinner would pay NOT to meet me, but I'm gonna show up at their church sometime disguised as a lost and undone sinner someday.

The ditch is getting deeper.

No, there was one other.:)

And that ditch was REAL deep--six feet deep by three feet wide, figuratively speaking.;)

[Hoovie]

Don't forget, I know your in-laws.:)

They would be alright with me finding God... even if it came through your hands!:hypercoffee

[Kansas Preacher]

How could I forget?


OK. You just climbed out. Or, in your case, should I say, "CLUM out?"

[Coonskinner]

How could I forget?


OK. You just climbed out. Or, in your case, should I say, "CLUM out?"


You may be kidding, but when I am talking to folks back home, or when I slip and lapse back into the old Ozark vernacular, I use the word "clumb" as a past participle of climb.

I also tell my kids, "You'uns get to bed," and lots of other things some of the more cultured among us would chuckle about.

I just got in from coon hunting, btw.:)

[Bro-Larry]

#3 is a strange man, has been all his life, he was born that way.

If not me, you probably know some of my family. Falla 39 is my older sister, I have 3 others. Crakjak is one of my brothers, and I have 5 others. We are a family of eleven siblings, Dad started and pastored a UPC church in north suburban Dallas for 39 years. He was well know all over UPC circles. You may have heard the family name somewhere therein. It would be nice to meet you Sister. Larry Blakey

You are a great "friend" to me. Seems our interaction is mostly behind the scenes. I appreciate you and would love to meet you someday. Hey, technically you are the first person that I told that I went back "home". :)

love ya doc,

[berkeley]

On FCF or NFCF I asked Keith about churches in the area. (way back when he had an avatar of some old guy)
He then replied with an invitation to a steak dinner. On a separate occasion he invited me to the beach.

I owe it to myself to meet Keith and Jeanie before I meet anyone else.
If they are in person who they are on the forum, it will be a great blessing.
After all, our worlds are only 169.11 miles apart.

Sorry, Berk, failed to address this question. I am not above the Apostle Paul...whose first name is sufficient for us.

I am privileged to have you call me Brett. While it has been the UPC custom to use the old Bro. "Last Name," I often dearly wish to be referred to as Bro. Brett, or just Brett.

Cool! :thumbsup If I ever enter into the ministry, I would prefer to be called by my first name, whatever it is at that time. LoL

I don't like Bro. "last name" It's too formal and impersonal.

[Falla39]

I would somehow never have put Falla and Crakjac as being in the same family... learn something new every day!

Bro. Steadfast,

You should meet the other nine! When we eleven siblings get together

at our Annual Blakey Family Reunion each Memorial Day in memory of our

late parents. There were over 110 present this year, most of which were

we eleven, our children and grandchildren. Our parents who married in

1937, have direct descendants of almost 100 now. That is Mom and Dad,

their eleven children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and there are

two great-great grandchildren. From two mothers, our maternal and our

paternal grandmother, came a son and a daughter. These two mothers

both received the Holy Ghost in the mid 30's, and their two children also

received it during that time. Those two young people, children of the

Great Depression, married and brought up their children in the fear and

admonition of the Lord. They "trained up their children in the way they

should go". There is a promise attached to that scripture. Regardless of

how it may seem, not any of us knows what we will go through before

our end comes. We have had "hard trials" of different kinds. Many would

have perhaps fallen by the wayside long ago. We could tell you a few.

In reading the 11th chapter of Hebrews, those people of faith went

through many trials and tests. We saw faith lived out in our home for

over 50 yrs. On our Dad's deathbed, he was heard to say while seemingly

"out of it", "They are everyone going to make it". Dad and Mom invested

everything they had and were into their eleven children and in a work that

still stands today and is church home to twenty something of my own

children and grandchildren.

When we eleven siblings get together for our reunions, we are a force

to be reckoned with. There is so much love one to another and although

we are individuals and don't agree on everything (does anyone), we have

respect and love for each other and each other's families. We have shown

and continue to show our children and grandchildren how to love one

another and respect each other. We don't argue and fuss with each other.

We are all adults on a journey. If two are better than one, what can eleven

or nearly an hundred do. As we travel on this journey we can help each

other make it. The elder John said if we say we love God and hate our

brother, we are a liar. How can we say we love God who we have not seen

when we don't love our brother/sister who we have seen.

Bro. Steadfast, Brother, this is not anything toward what you said about

not putting Crakjak and me together. God did that a long time ago! As well

as the other nine! I am, in an older sister way, proud of each of my siblings.

I know them. I love them. We are going to meet Mom and Dad together,

and a host of others who greatly influenced us as youngsters. We eleven

know who they are. Made a difference in our young lives and later also.

We have been and continue to be SO blessed. You talk about prayer

support. When one of us gets ill or has a life-threatening situation, we

all, with our families, lift each other up in loving, heartfelt prayer. And

then there's the "effectual fervent (red-hot) prayers of a righteous man

and woman, who we called our parents, still availing much!!:happydance

Don't mess with one of we siblings or you'll have the whole pack on

ya!:killinme:killinme:killinme

Blessings on all the great people and posters on this forum!! We love

you too!

Just some expressions from the heart of an elder sister!

over 50 yrs. On our Dad's deathbed, he was heard to say while seemingly

"out of it", "They are everyone going to make it". Dad and Mom invested

everything they had and were into their eleven children and in a work that

still stands today and is church home to twenty something of my own

children and grandchildren.

When we eleven siblings get together for our reunions, we are a force

to be reckoned with. There is so much love one to another and although

we are individuals and don't agree on everything (does anyone), we have

respect and love for each other and each other's families. We have shown

and continue to show our children and grandchildren how to love one

another and respect each other. We don't argue and fuss with each other.

We are all adults on a journey. If two are better than one, what can eleven

or nearly an hundred do. As we travel on this journey we can help each

other make it. The elder John said if we say we love God and hate our

brother, we are a liar. How can we say we love God who we have not seen

when we don't love our brother/sister who we have seen.

Bro. Steadfast, Brother, this is not anything toward what you said about

not putting Crakjak and me together. God did that a long time ago! As well

as the other nine! I am, in an older sister way, proud of each of my siblings.

I know them. I love them. We are going to meet Mom and Dad together,

and a host of others who greatly influenced us as youngsters. We eleven

know who they are. Made a difference in our young lives and later also.

We have been and continue to be SO blessed. You talk about prayer

support. When one of us gets ill or has a life-threatening situation, we

all, with our families, lift each other up in loving, heartfelt prayer. And

then there's the "effectual fervent (red-hot) prayers of a righteous man

and woman, who we called our parents, still availing much!!:happydance

Don't mess with one of we siblings or you'll have the whole pack on

ya!:killinme:killinme:killinme

Blessings on all the great people and posters on this forum!! We love

you too!

Just some expressions from the heart of an elder sister!

Falla39

O, Yeah, you go there sister!!:killinme:killinme

[Brother Strange]

So, the revised list would include among others whom I've had the honor of meeting:


Brett Prince, a sincere student at TBC at the time

rrford, a man with huge potential for God

Big Larry, a walking scripture quoter

falla39, a sweet lady of Pentecost, as solid as a rock

Elias, a humble man of great intellect. I miss him a lot.

Again, my revised list must include:

Atlanta Bishop, a great preacher and musician, gifted

Beachmender, whom I've not seen here for a while, but a great Pastor

Charlie Brown....he's a clown.

Dora, miss personality. She got it from Wanda, her mother whom I love.

Josh, but he was a baby. I have an old picture of him and his parents from the 60s.

Esther, a sweet lady.

Phil Jones, a blessed man

Timlan, a great conversationalist

Matthew, none better

Rhoni, a sincere lady that strives for the best

Chosenbyone, a very humble man striving to do God's will.

NYLP, a ball of energy, a riot

Beard, a man of God

JhLent, a man of God

Then, I get these teaser PMs that go something like this:

"Hey, brother Strange, I know you from way back when." But then, they never tell me who they are. :D

Maybe they are afraid that I am going to skin some hide...which I would never do. I'm too sweet, kind, gentle, longsuffering, patient, plus all the other 9 fruit of the Spirit too. :d

Larry, Falla, and Cracker, you sound like you have a great family.

I too come from a large family. At a recent family reunion we had 400 present - about half the total number of living decendents of my grandparents.

Thanks Stephen. Large families are great and a blessing of the Lord.

Unfortunately in today's culture of the "fearful and unbelieving" large families are no longer look at with respect. But that is not the attitude of our God, who is a God of life, and He has placed in the earth all the resources required for man's existence. Conservation is necessary, yet not to the determent of man.

Growing up in a large family requires selflessness and giving, very little place for self-centeredness.

I haven't read this whole thread, but I have met a lot of posters of AFF, and would like to meet others. My problem is that Mrs. Pianoman hates AFF because it is my hobby and I spend so much time here! :)

When I'm traveling around with her on a trip, I can't meet up with AFFers. I must devote all of my time to her! :) Sorry!

I do meet up with some folks when they are passing through Nashville. Let me know, and I'll meet you for lunch or something! :)

I am assuming you wanted to move some place with a lower cost of living and less traffic?:hypercoffee

Oh, not to mention the bargain priced real estate! In March when I was in LA and Anaheim I checked the Orange County Register's Sunday real estate section and my house is a million dollar plus house in Orange County.

When our ship docks in San Pedro from Hawaii on Saturday Feb 9th I am picking up a rental car to have that day and until we leave the next day. Depending on if my son is living there or in 29 Palms as he is suppoed to be and what he has planned perhaps we could meet up for lunch or coffee then.

Back in the mid 80's on my first trip to LA I was alone and got lost in my rental car going from the airport. I ended up on Crendshaw and after awhile was the only white person I could see for miles!

I decided rather than make the news headlines as the latest casualty of a lost tourist in LA I had better get my butt up on the 405.

[Margies3]

I've thought long and hard about who I'd want to meet MOST of all. Really, I would be delighted to meet everyone on here!

But if I HAD to narrow it down, I would include:

Praxeous - so we could compare cameras

Amazing Grace - cuz she's such a sweetheart

Sherri - I like the way she thinks :)

Tamor - I think we'd have a great time. We could find us a great place to eat out at.

LadyRev - cuz if HeavenlyOne thinks she's such a great person, then I'm sure I would too

Bishop1 - so I could tell Sis Well who he really is.

Now................. just because your name is not here, that doesn't mean that I don't want to meet you. I want to meet EVERYBODY.

Plus, bear in mind that this is today's list. Tomorrow, the list might be completely different :)

You think? I don't think so!!

[HeavenlyOne]

Yeah it was Renda! Kissing CC1!! And then she was in a sleeping bag up in a wheelchair with someone's crippled uncle a few months ago!!

:killinme:killinme

I'm going to tattle on myself.

I was at work Friday night and something happened that's never happened to me before.

I got hit on.

Yes, that's what I said.

See, I'm a good nurse supervisor and supply my girls with all kinds of chocolates so they'll work better....LOL.....so I had several kinds of candy including Hershey kisses on the desk. I was writing up doctor orders when an older woman, older man, and middle aged man comes in the door.

They asked about a cart for some items she'd brought for her sister, who is a resident. I asked the other nurse about it and she left to get them what they needed. I continued writing the order when the middle aged guy comes to the desk and says, "Here, have a kiss," as he places a Hershey kiss closer to me.

Trying hard not to turn red (it comes so easy for me, as I embarrass over anything), I commented that I say that to the residents I hand them to, and resumed writing. The older man then came over and said, "Well, then I'll do that too...here, have a kiss," as he also places a Hershey kiss closer to me.

Ok, that did it. My face was still red when I told the other nurse what happened and she was dying!

Nothing like getting hit on by an old man at the nursing home!!!

[HeavenlyOne]

I would like to meet anyone that is paying to meet me, and I don't charge a lot either!

Newman, Foreverblessed, and I can attest to that!!!

[TexasProud]

Texas Proud,

Was the reunion in Quitman, TX, and Big-Larry's family hosted it that

year? Does your last name began with an S. Does our older brother and

and his wife attend the same church you do? Enough!!! LOL!!

Blessings,

Falla39

Yes, I was at that reunion. Yes, your eldest brother attends the church my sister and I were attending at that time. My name does not begin with "S," but I am the granddaughter of that pastor. After our grandmother passed away, we began attending my uncle's church. Our mother, however, still does attend church with your brother and sister-in-law.
I take it that means we DID meet! :D

Well, at least he was a middle-aged man and not one of the residents in a wheelchair!!

Don't look now, but you are close to middle-aged! I remember the first time someone said I was middle-aged and I about hit 'em! Then, I realized that I was....:sshhh

Foreverblessed and Newman think she's great too!

And she doesn't grab people on her way overboard either!!!

[Bro-Larry]

Larry, Falla, and Cracker, you sound like you have a great family.

I too come from a large family. At a recent family reunion we had 400 present - about half the total number of living decendents of my grandparents.



400!!!! WOW WOW WOW!!!! THat's tremendous Steven. Congratulations.

God's love to your family, LB

[stmatthew]

I would enjoy meeting everyone here. I just like people. :)

I have to admit that I would love to be able to sit down with the Alvear family and buy their dinner. I had intended on finding them at the AMC conference, but then my mom had the health problems and pace maker put in, so I was out of town a lot, and didn't get to go.

I love missionaries!

[HeavenlyOne]

Well, at least he was a middle-aged man and not one of the residents in a wheelchair!!

Don't look now, but you are close to middle-aged! I remember the first time someone said I was middle-aged and I about hit 'em! Then, I realized that I was....:sshhh

Well, then perhaps it's not a good time to mention that a resident wanted to tell me something so I got a little closer.

Well, THAT won't happen again! LOL!

I think I will start a thread on People I almost met..............


I almost met the Coonskinner family, I got the PM too late. I hope they come through Nashville again some time soon.

Renda once used her story about her sick dog to get out of meeting me and LadyRev.

I still contend that she was afraid we were going to pray her back through to the UPC.....LOL!!

[stmatthew]

Glad to give you the visual there. I know you heard the story......LOL!

It always gives me a nice feeling to picture a few folks floating down the stream of life. :D The one trip I am glad I declined!!

hehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you know she saved the life of an attorney who was also on that trip? ;)

Texas Proud,

I am sure I met you that day but I can't place you right now.

I thought maybe you were Bro. or Sis. S-----, as they were there

that day also. However I thought you sounded a bit younger than

what they would have been. They came with your grandparents

that day, I believe. I attended your grandmother's funeral. Beautiful

service. Big-Larry sang a beautiful song, in fact, more than one. He

has always been gifted with a great voice for singing.

My older brother and wife are in N. Carolina for a couple of weeks

and when they return we are planning on visiting them and go to

church with them. I have never been to a service at that church.

Just hasn't worked out, although I have wanted to for a long time.

Blessings,

Are you related to JMJ, by any chance?

[Hoovie]

I was talking to SH. Are you Kristin? SH's wife is a Kristin.

Hey ILG, why don't you come down to the Ozarks and you can perform live rather than make that DVD!

[Scott Hutchinson]

Perhaps sometimes my family and Nina's family could meet, cause her husband sometimes works around my town.

Neck good to see yah! Maybe next time I'm in the Milwaukee area we can meet.

[Sister Alvear]

Sis. Alvear,

Not sure what Raul Alvear, Jr., is to you but I had some folks hear him a few nights ago at Bro. Rodney McDonald's Church in Oklahoma City. I've wanted him to come preach for us for a while now but they are telling me they REALLY liked his preaching the other night and would love to have him come here!

Blessings on you and yours...


Raul Jr is my oldest son...gets all his sermons from me and preaches them at those no women preacher churches!...ha...just joking...
I love to tease and very few people have ever made me mad...just take life as it comes..
Your posts are very good. I thought you might have been Brother Steve Pixler once...by one of your posts. He is always so concerned about young preachers and such a friend to us.

[Sister Alvear]

I see I have not mentioned some names of sweet posters...so lets say I would love to meet everyone. That is really true. I am a people person..I like people some I like coming and some I like going...ha...

[Neck]

Neck good to see yah! Maybe next time I'm in the Milwaukee area we can meet.

I would welcome that opportunity. Just PM me anytime and we can meet..

Charming and intelligent, not to mention cute AND sweet...mercy sakes, what it 'joy' it was for them to be in my presence!! I was so thrilled that they had the opportunity and I know it was the highlight of their little lives...greatness doesn't come along everyday!!

Can't hardly wait for them to see this...:hypercoffee

Have you actually heard that yahoo preach?:killinme:roseglasses

Thy modesty becometh thee, my friend. :D

Yes, I've heard you preach....just once, and it was more instruction, per se, than preaching....but POWERful, nonetheless. Anointing makes an impression more than exegeses or superfluity, and the Holy Ghost abounded that morning.

That being said.....all semblance of dignity flew out the window when you, IAM, and NLYP began "posing" for pictures afterwards. :killinme

Thank you for those kind words about the service. Nanna loved to hear Bro Larry sing...I think he was her favorite! My mother mentioned the other day that your kinfolks would be in NC for a while. I know they will all be thrilled to have you and your husband in service when you visit.
