Nintendo.....

Atari......

I hated the 80's. :banghead

How about putting sweet tarts in your coke?

and suicide soda?

The 80s were some of the best years of my entire life! Appointed as missionaries to HK in 1980. Began deputation in Jan. '81 and arrived in HK Aug. of '81.

I can't begin to tell all the GREAT adventures we had -- both in the natural and in the Holy Ghost. Absolutely amazing! Awesome! Memory is one of the most wonderful, powerful and outstanding gifts God has given to us.

can you get banned for calling an ADMIN a liar?????

I got the Holy Ghost in the eighties.It was awesome!

After living life as an Old Order Mennonite for 16 years, I got a drivers license and car and left home. I subsequently came to know the God of my parents and started my journey of faith.


Both were good experiences for me, though I could have waited a few years on the decision to leave home.

Steve Hoover

Amen to serving God though

Best memory for me is: I HAD A BABY IN THE 80s and he is still living for God today!!!:bliss

The first years of the eighties were spent going to high school, going to state in music vocals a few times, choir president, FHA vice president, track, met my future husband....going to college being wild as wild can be, partying it up....then the next half of the eighties, getting the Holy Ghost, moving out of state, getting married, getting into the UPC, and having a baby.

The 80's... I loved the 80's.. :) :thumbsup :icecream What a fun decade.. lots of events took place in the 80's.

I was a teen in most of the 80's.. spent time driving all over to conferences, camps, rally's... good thing I drove a small car.

I had a 1981 Jetta VW like this one only it was a gold champaign color.. I hated the color as a 16 year old in 1983.... now I look back and think how ungrateful I was. whining about colors... *sigh* It had a sunroof and was a diesel... got excellent gas mileage (practical side of me coming out since I am now 40..lol )

Had an awesome time being a teenager, graduated from High School in 1985.. never went on to college though (big regret)... worked in politics.. loved every min of it.

Then I got Married in Feb 1989... http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d8.../ATT430073.jpg

Sis Lisa, tell those girls the Hoover family says hello! I just can't believe how they are growing up!

PS Did you ever get the leak in your roof fixed???? I thought about that several times and wished I were closer to you so I could take care of it for you!

Now we're talking ...

Coming to God in the late 80s.

I come from a broken home I graduated in 85 but I had alot of personal probelms and issues ,those years were dark ones for me.

This is so sweet. I believe as Christians, we need to do more things like this!!

It's not like I was offering a new roof or anything - it sounded rather minor to me.... But yes helping others has it's own reward. In fact, :thumbsup I worked on a baptist ministers roof today at no charge to him.

I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost [Oct 4, 1981]

and

obeyed His command to be water baptized in Jesus name
[Nov. 8,1981]

Dude! my OLDEST is 2 and I remember at lest halfof the 70's! I was born in 69 and you look at lest as old as me!

Well, it might sound minor, but I believe it's an area that could be improved on these days....taking care of each other!

Hey Dan, you were supposed to get baptized first. LOL!

What month in '69 were you born?

Brother Dan you were that little?

I know ... how did God come and dwell in this vessel with my sins not washed away ?????

Dad baptized me ... in one of the first Spanish speaking UPCI churches ....
