Goodnight and God bless may you all have peaceful rest tonight as the universe takes a spin....God knows where we are...He knows where we have been, and He knows where we are going...so we have nothing to fear and hope beyond measure for out tomorrows!
Good night............................................

Sis, I've had the long lists of rules..I've had the rules change so much that I could hardly keep up with 'em....I've had women in the church try to straighten me out for some of the silliest things - like wearing denim, not buttoning my top button, not keeping my hair up in a bun, wearing black pantyhose, wearing lip gloss, etc. etc. I love God too much to let those kinds of things turn me around and lead me to hell. Those with the bad attitudes who shun others and condemn them to hell for man-made rules are the ones with the real problems. I want to obey ALL that the Bible requires and I want to respect my pastor - but those things that you mentioned are too extreme.

Thank God you were not collateral damage.

Amen Sis...I have my eyes on God now(when in the church it was more on the ministry)...He is my salvation and my comforter, and by far so much kinder than most men on earth....I will NOT turn my back on God not for one second...that is one thing that those left behind don't seem to believe, that our leaving the church is not a parallel to turning our backs on God...in truth its just the other way around..our focus is much more on HIM now....
