Well, he mainly stinks from playing outside. I don't have time to bath him every time he comes inside, so he's out! He sleeps in the shop at night and on the front or back porch during the day. He's an excellent dog. I love him!!!

No he didn't!! I still have my dog. It is not customary for us to keep a dog inside after it's past the puppy stage. We don't do indoor dogs.

I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a homeschool mother pray for me, over the phone, one morning because I wasn't feeling well. She said, "Father God..........."

I was sitting there listening and thinking - "Do you know who God is or not?"

I'm sorry, that annoys me, since I'm annoyed today anyway!!!


"Prayer Language" annoys me as it is not in the Bible. If I'm talking in tongues it's just that - I'm speaking in tongues as God gives the utterance. I don't have a "prayer language" - I just speak in tongues. That also annoys me, since I'm already annoyed today.

It sounds as though, using that terminology, we are manipulating a move of God for our benefit. I am turned off by that, as I am by any manipulating of God's Spirit - teaching people to speak in tongues, coercing people to dance or whatever as a measure of their walk with God.

"Giftings" annoys me because it is just simply His Gifts that He bestows on me and I operate in them at His direction. I am possessed by what He has done and I don't claim to own any of them as mine alone. The terminology annoys me.

I prayed for a woman at the altar who was just at her wits end. The Lord allowed me to know that she was as fragile as a tea cup. She related the same idea to me after the service. Anyway, I laid hands on her and the Spirit of God came over her so powerful. She was blessed and strengthened.

While that was going on the Lord spoke to me, "Rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you, but that your name is written in the lamb's book of life."

Big lesson. I have pet peeves just like everyone else and I get annoyed just like everyone else.

Okay, I better get out of here, being that I'm already very annoyed.

I have but one word for thee, NITPICKY.

Seriously, though - What pet peeves do you have, Rico? You have to have some.
