I've been trying to for years, actually. Every time I get up to pee and catch a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror I think I should do that now. Then I go back to bed. But this time I caught sight of myself in the mirror and it reminded me and I actually did it.

It is naturally hard to remember this when you first get up though. Just getting up and walking takes an an inordinate amount of attention. At least for me, when I first get up.

Howdy. I am old here. Welcome to the Forum.

No fair! The effect fades within 10 minutes. At least from what I have seen.

Better than me. To quote an old movie, when I first get up I look like a blues brother with a hangover.

I would settle for just not putting down a whole group of people you obviously don't know anything about. Can you manage that?

You also said a few things about pastors of all churches except your chosen church, and those things you said disagree with what you just said. Trade that broad brush in for a number seven, fine bristle. Your freewheeling assumptions about an entire group are not holding up very well.

So? Who says we needed any sponsors? Our sponsors were the people who bought our bear suckers and peanut brittle. Many times I would go with Mom up to the church to make another batch of bear suckers. Sometimes she would realize she forgot the key to the fellowship hall door, and she would...

This one hits a personal nerve with me, because it actually happened. Once upon a time, just a few years before I was born, the church where my family went became uneasy. Their pastor was beginning to preach against some of the pet sins some of the members of the board held dear to their...

This part is also a load of horse pucky. Jesus didn't toe any party lines, and I personally know a lot of great preachers who also don't. My pastor is one of them. You are talking out of your butt about people you don't know anything about, and you really owe an apology to some very good...

The message I sent him Friday, after my toes had healed a bit. No he didn't know anything about my situation. Good preachers usually don't know who they're preaching to. There's no profit for God or the people hearing the message for the preacher to know who it's for, so God seems to have a...

Sometimes I could wish our pastor had LESS substance. He gets too close to my toes sometimes. Of course that only happens when my toes are not on the path they should be on, but it can be doggone uncomfortable anyway. Last Wednesday, for example. I was dealing with something just earlier that...

Yeah I noticed that turn around, but I was not going to mention it. I thought I might wait and see if anybody else noticed it too, to back up my own observation.

No, nothing like Southern Baptist. Although my aunt Diane goes to a Southern Baptist Church that keeps edging closer toward Pentecostal. I'm not going to mention that to them though... Shhhh! Just let it happen. =^.^= If you must have a corporate name, we are affiliated with United...

Odd spelling you have there for Pentecostal. Almost as though you are not trying nearly hard enough to not be offensive. In fact one might say you are deliberately trying to do the converse. And it seems to be deliberate, because you did it more than once. Also it's very hard to get a computer...

Oh I don't have any issue at all with you choosing which church you want to go to. I just fundamentally object to you dissing all other churches without even seeing them. But my objection is worth about as much as your dissing. Just two random people on the internet expressing their...

Sub where have you been keeping all these? This thread is, like, three years old. I had given up hope. Also, thanks. "With a mug of rum and a candy cane..." lol

Ah, Amy Grant. That brings back memories of disappointment. I remember the first time I saw her Christmas album at a McKay's used bookstore in Nashville. I got so excited! Surely SHE will have some new... Nope. Just the same tried-and-true songs everyone else sings. Now "Emmanuel," that's a...

I think today's single breakfast is going to be hardboiled eggs with tahini on them. Or maybe a can of refried red beans with chipotle aoli on wheat Ritz. I'm still discussing it with my stomach.

I don't know what "protestant" churches you have seen, but you have obviously never seen my church. But people see what they expect to see. If you did come to my church you would probably see a lot of "me" attitudes even if they weren't there, because it would be what you expected to see.
