Are You Sure You Don't Want To Be Left Behind?

[Falla39]

To whom it may concern and this is in no way to be offensive:

After prayfully considering the intended constructive criticisms

in the preceding posts, this is the conclusion I have come to.

At times it is easy to become somewhat "carried away" when

you are responding to subjects and your "feelings" get involved.

We all have those things that cause us to become more involved

and we say more than we normally might do otherwise. It hasn't

always been easy for me to express my feelings so openly about many

things. It no longer is a problem. When I really get involved though, it

reflects in my posts being very LOOOOOOOOG!! That might be a good

time to really take the time to read what I am saying. It just might be

helpful and of benefit.

MeBNme, you go on being you and I will continue being me!!!No offense
intended. I note that you joined Oct.27, 07 so you really aren't that in
touch with my posts.

Dizzyde, you have been on the forum longer than MeBNme but you have
your style and I have mine. And that's good and how it should be. If you
find my posts hard to read, just skip right over them and there should be
no problem. Please don't take this to be offensive.

Bro. Blume,

You are a great man and having met you and your sweet wife in person,
found you to be not only kind, gentle but humble as well. I enjoy your
posts but do not always find them to be the easiest to read. Just being
honest and not trying to be offensive. You see, being a senior sister and
you being quite a bit younger, we do not see (literally) the same way.
Not talking about agreeing, but physically seeing. The double spacing to
me seems much easier to read for me. It is MY posts, my expressions,
my way of doing it. That is my liberty to do so. On the other forums, FCF
and NFCF, I received one negative concerning my posting. I had never post-
ed before. Didn't know how. It had to do with the spacing between the
sentences, etc. That's when I started doing my posts similiar to the way
I learned to write letters in high school. Checked my posts just now and
there are 1237 posts since being on AFF. Not one criticism or complaint
regarding my posting style, etc. So pardon me if I continue somewhat to
what I have gotten accustomed to with many compliments, openly and
through PM's and e-mails. Can't please everyone. Love you. Brother!!

And Praxeas, no, I do not do them on word and paste them on here.
I type them just as they appear. I am SIS. Falla39. My darling doesn't
do forums. Several have thought Falla was him and he gets a kick out
of that.

In spending some time before responding, my chief concerns were to seek
God for wisdom as how to respond, what to say and not be offensive. Asked
HIM to help me always have the RIGHT spirit, in posting, responding, etc.
I feel He told me that IF I stayed FULL of HIS SPIRIT I would not have to
worry about having the RIGHT Spirit because what was IN me would come
out RIGHT, whether in spoken words or typed or written words.

Out of the many posters on this great forum, we should all have the
liberty to be ourselves as God leads us.

Bro./Sis. MeBNme, you keep being you, Sis. Dizzyde, you be you!
Bro. Blume and Praxeas, you two keep being yourselves. I will do
the same!

God bless you all abundantly, in Jesus Name!

Thank you, Bro. OneAccord for your kind and encouraging words.

Blessings,

Sis. Falla,

Because I know you it is easy for me to say that your posts are indeed an extention of who you are as a person. You are full of the word of God and full of the Holy Spirit. I know you to be a faithful prayer warrior and because all your family/children are in the church...I would say that you have been a Godly example to them.

Do not take criticism on this forum personally. If you do it will kill the spirit that is within you. Don't let anyone or anything take away your joy. Your words of wisdom from life experience as well as the gift of wisdom from God enables you to comfort, encourage, and heal others who are hurting.

Looking at things through God's eyes are more important than keeping everyone 'comfortable'. Be who you are and post how you do because that is who God made you to be and He is an awesome God and loves diversity.

Love & Blessings,
Sis. Rhonda

No problem. If physically seeing the board is the issue, then have at it, sister! I never thought of that when I first saw the format. VERY good point.

Thanks for your always kind words.

LOL!! Bro. Blume, you had mentioned in another post that your mother
did the double space thingy, etc. and shortened her lines like on an old
typewriter. And she does that now on the computer. That's the way we
learned it. Didn't have all the latest technology. I suspect your Mom and
I would probably be somewhere close to the same age. It's not that we
can't see, we just need a little help. We don't need GIANT print, but we
do need the LARGE print! That's is the BALANCE between small and GIANT!
In a few years you will understand! Meanwhile carry on......!

I took out the double spacing just for you...but it runs together for me!
LOL!!!

Blessings abundantly,

SisterFalla you are too close to being an angel for us to worry about your posting style and spaces.

Bro. Scott,

You are TOO kind! That kind of talking makes me want to crawl UNDER the
alter!

Bro. Revelationist,

What if we took the bolded and stated it like this, "because when the Old
Covenant people (old Israel) were taken, the New Covenant people (a rema-
mant of old Isreal) was left behind. Jesus (New Savior, Deliverer, said, Fear
not, little flock, for it is the Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto
the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his
Son. whom he hath appointed heir of ALL things, by whom also he made the
worlds;

The old covenant was made obselete when the heir died. Those who are
Christ's under the new covenant, were made new by a new and living way.
If any man be in Christ he is a new creature (of a new creation). OLD
things are passed away, behold ALL things are become new.

Bro. Revelationist, does this make sense to you? A senior sister
in Christ Jesus.

Blessings,

Jesus came from the tribe of Judah. That was only one of the tribes
or sons of Jacob. Little Benjamin stayed with big brother, Judah and
with the Levites. This was the Jews (Judah) that was seperated from
Israel (ten tribes) because of Solomon's son, Rehoboam, not listening
to the people who was tired of being under bondage too long (heavy
taxation). Sounds like we've about gone full circle. Taxes, taxes!!

Twelve tribes, twelve disciples, twelve apostles, and a lot more things
numbering 12. 12x12, twelve thrones. In Revelation all the twelve tribes
are listed except the tribe of Dan. Where is Dan to make up the 12/12
city of perfection. After our late father passed on, I remember a poem that
I had redone, entitled "Are all the children in". It spoke of how at the end
of the day. how in the old house on the corner and as we gathered in the
den, Dad would go to the front door and call, "Are all the children in".
That meant it was about time for family alter. We knew Dad expected us
to be there at a certain time. As long as one child was missing, family alter
did not begin! It was very important to our father to know that every child
was accounted for. I think of the Good Shepherd that had 99 sheep safe in
the fold, but that wasn't enough. He left the 99 safe in the fold and went
out seaching for that one lost sheep (son, daughter or tribe). The Lord knows
those that are His.

Just some senior sister thoughts!!

I'm disappointed. You've changed your posting style! I've become

accustomed to the old way you posted. You said it was easier for you to

read. Then, I think you should post the way it is easiest for you. We who

value your words of wisdom would read it outside down if necessary. Just

thought you's enjoy hearing from another "complainer". Hee Hee Hee

You can please some of the people sone of the time,

but you can't please all the people all of the time!
