Welcome to a place where Christ should be exalted and "Self" should be abased!!

Welcome to a place where the BIBLE can be discussed rationally, intelligently, and positively without unnecessary argument!!

Welcome to a place where prayer can be requested and encouraged!!

Welcome to a place where positive and encouraging thoughts from scripture can be shared in a caring and loving way!!

Welcome to a place away from all the arguments, recriminations, and negativity of the outside world!!

Welcome to a place of rest and safety!!

Welcome to a place where Philippians 2:3 is practiced: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

Welcome to this Christian thread.

(Please leave all aggression, bitterness, and philosophy outside the door and please wipe your feet before coming inside!!)

I live in my own little world. But it's OK... They know me Here!

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Eph.6:11.

Julie, Prayers for Nicole's family and for your family, especially your little one as each of you deal with Nicole's death. My heart is very heavy tonight as I think of the families loss, your loss and your little one having to deal with the death of a friend so early in life.

oh dear--make that "family's" loss.

survivornikki · ‎11-03-2006

My heart felt pretty heavy tonight. I had been thinking of the members of CTS--and the many challenges they have, some plates look so full--some of you have survived such horrors.

MLM had written that her little one wanted to go to Nicole's parents home to take the parents some pictures she had drawn for them. Julie had written what wonderful people these parents are, and that they had great concern that the friends of Nicole would have trouble dealing with her death--but she did not know if the visit would be a good idea. She took her DD over to their home and the mother took MLM's daughter onto her lap and wept. She said she had needed to hold a little girl again. How did the little girl know that she was needed? I sometimes think these little ones are closer to the Truth than we adults.

Thinking about that, I realized that I needed to get out of my little house. DH and I went for a long walk on the beach. We walked until it was dark. It was pouring rain, there was tons of seaweed, the seabirds, the herons, neighbours building a huge rock wall they hope will keep them safe from the sea and the winter storms--they are still out there--who knew those big earth movers had lights--there were even two teenagers walking in the surf--and somewhere along the walk, I realized I was praying with such anxiety and I should let that go, and pray with peace. It doesn't lesson the grief of knowing the parents have to bury their child this Monday, or knowing MLM and her family are grieving, or that there are so many here with burdens, but I know I can pray with love and peace. I thank God for this gift.

I pray that all of you have peace this weekend.

Oh, I came in here to hide. I came in here for some peace. Even though sometimes the posts in here are heavy, there is the peace and comfort of being with my brothers and sisters in Christ.

I worked until after 10PM (dealing with so much ugliness) and came to CTS and, dummy me, went right into those rape threads. *sigh*

I wish I could take all of the victims of crime, all of those suffering loss, all of those who are sick, and gather them up and take all of their pain away.

Let's keep praying. It's really powerful. God really is all mighty. Let's remember each other in prayer. Let's remember the lost; let's remember all the saints.

mlm!!!

How are you?

spendmama · ‎11-04-2006

Hiya all!!! (((laurie))) that mentally- & emotionally-exhaustive job sucks more out of a person than a physically-demanding one!!!

I went to church today and it'll take some doing to make me 'lose' it today!! Even had a lot of patience with my mom when I got home.

Something encouraging from the message today. . .

"You can go it alone and depressed, or you can come to the Lord & be at rest." I love that.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Matthew 11:27-29

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then there will be peace.

I like that one, Nellie. I go to Him, just to sit in His shadow.

Hi all!

Forgive the cloak of invisibility, but I feel the need to hide yet have a powerful request that must be sent.

Many of you know that Moogie recently had an hospital visit and operation and that caring people of CTS sent her flowers.

Most of you are probably not aware of the fact that Marnie, a fearless, dedicated hardworking scam buster, also underwent the exact same procedure as Moogie.

I felt bad as I knew about this operation, but did not know any way of obtaining her physical address to get flowers to her.

I am not asking any of you to forward me the address, just quietly ask around to see if any one does have it and for some one to organize a flowers for Marnie campaign. She deserves it.

nice seeing you, mom 🙂 missed your encouraging & supportive voice (not really, I got e-mail, but you know what I mean).

Sending 'get well wishes' to Marnie:-x
Be back to us soon!

apollosplace · ‎11-05-2006

Please keep me in the loop for getting some flowers to Marnie - I have no idea how to reach her but have been a fan of her's for ... well longer than I have been coming to CTS.

Please keep me in the loop for getting some flowers to Marnie -

Me, too please. She was a lot of help to me when I first came to eBay.

anon*mous · ‎11-05-2006

I'm just a little mouse with a tiny little brain much smaller than a Chinchilla or a Squirrel but I know that if we pray together, someone, somewhere will know someone with Marnie's address and then we can get the flowers to their rightful place.

People not to check: Blackchisel and Nicki do not know her address.

I felt safe in posting this plea here as Marnie when not actively pursuing Chinese Scammers in Laptops and Plasma TVs is helping newbies over on New 2 eBay or in the Answer Centre. I've never seen her post on CTS.
