Hi! Indeed I have been busy. I continue to work on my current school work to finish my degree in Biblical Counseling. Then off to Cali to the Master's College! :-) I'm excited yet worried about finances. :-/ It costs lots of mula that I currently do not have...Well, I pray you have an awesome day, and that our Abba continues to bless you with every way. :-)
Hello there. Thanks so much for your sweet note. I sure do love your new picture. What a beatific smile. You radiate joy and happiness. Beautiful! I struggle with religion and faith because of my past and this sometimes makes it very difficult for me, but I shall try to visit Theology Forum once again. I DO love you. Jann
Please check out my book; "And This Is Love: A Spiritual Guide" by Evangelist John Dye(It's a real blessing to people looking for help and understanding right now.)
Hi! I will get back into posting and updating in the summer. My plate has beensooooo full. I miss you too!
dt, I really have a great appreciation for the fact that you see the the gosples and the boook of Hebrews as being written to Jews. You and I may not agree on all the finer points of theology but I really appreciate the fact that you keep scripture in context.
Hi dtbrents, thanks for missing me:):) Spring is my busiest time of the year with all the gardening, breedings, spring breaks, trips, graduations and weekend BBQs. The older I get the more I crave the lonely solace of winter.:):) There's so much to get caught up on here, I will have gaps from now til winter always something happening, and I do love Mickey Mouse more than the grandkids:):) I keep asking my husband for a second honeymoon to Disneyland but he always lets my and the grandkids play that game:):) I do hope life is going great with you and God Bless.
Hello,Check out A Step Into Deliverance for a balanced, controversial but relevant look at deliverance. It's a real page-turner!
Good Day!JASS!
I am remembering the closeness we shared:Before, we allowed religiousness to steal our Love of Christ from each other!JASS!
dt....How are ya doing?JASS!
hey! I'm doing good. Been focusing a lot on my school work. I want to get it all done (about 4 more courses) by the end of the summer, because I'm planning to go to school in California this fall (www.masters.edu). Lord willing I'll be getting a degree at that school in Biblical Studies with emphasis on Biblical Languages. I'm excited. :-) So, in the meantime, like I said, I'm focusing on getting all my current classes done by summers end, which will give me a degree in Biblical Counseling. :-)And how have you been?

Here is a blurb about my new book—ON THE CREST. Comments welcome: Tige Anderson goes through a series of emotional, physical and psychological adventures in this coming-of-age roller coaster, balancing his life among his romantic trysts, his ambitions, his humanity and his gay best friend. The one thread that connects all of the people in his life is the fact that the cycle of life puts everyone through a series of ups (‘on the crest’) and downs. Whether an individual winds up on top of the wave or under it depends on them. Prologue:[A mind full of shadows which form long, dark points that pierce the heart through and bring to consciousness the fierce pain of reality. Hooded specters that travel through space and time gathering up pieces of memory and bringing them together to form one melted block of pain and pleasure called the past.Were it possible to disintegrate as happens to dreams and tender moments. As powerful as these dreams and tender moments seemed at their inception, we come to realize that they are made of invisible particles of nothingness. Were it possible to just vanish like hopes made of tiny particles of nothing so would I be free of reality. And in that vanishing, would I finally be able to find peace.]Those thoughts flooded Tige’s mind as he sat and watched the pointed shadows caused by the brand-new-morning sun crawl across the floor in front of him. He had been all alone in the solarium since the middle of the night awaiting the sunrise as he did on many nights since he was put into that place. It was his favorite time of day. Anymore, each minute of the day was filled with painful recollection and doubt except for this brief, fleeting moment. It was a time, it seemed, that the earth, like him, was confused. It brought him solace to think that at this very moment, the entire universe, or so it seemed, was in a state of doubt and he was not alone. It was the time when day was pushing back night, eliminating the last vestiges of darkness to assume domination and live out its brief lifetime before dying and willing its realm to its brother called ‘tomorrow’. It was a time of starting over, of another chance. Days rolled in one after the other like the waves at the beach. It made one think that no matter how tragic the events that occurred in one solar period, there was always another; there was always another wave.Tige sat in his robe and pajamas on one of the couches in the solarium watching the morning sun get stronger, watching the streams of light come through the bars on the windows, hoping that the attendant would not yet realize that he was not in his room, which was where he should have been until breakfast which was still two hours away. He had done this so many times in the past but he was never discouraged from continuing to enjoy his moment of peace, but rather would endure the lectures from the staff about how everyone there must obey the rules so that all there could accomplish what they came there for.The reward that he got from this solitude was worth any reprimand which may have followed from the staff. He knew that his time remaining there was brief and he could continue this practice somewhere else. This was his time to savor the self-induced, companion-until-death torment brought about by events which had happened before and could not be changed. This was his time to not only enjoy the companionship of hope for tomorrow, but also to flog himself with memories and guilt for things that he had been instrumental in bringing to existence. He had to torture himself for what he had done or for what he had not done. With an almost painful enjoyment, Tige watched the single line of gray smoke from his cigarette and recalled the days past. He watched the ashes fall off like expended days gone by. He watched the orange line of fire racing toward its end.Again, comments welcome.The book can be purchased at barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com, authorhouse.com and many more sites. Thank you. Tony Carmine.
Okay....it's good to see ya smiling. But it's even better to know that you are a new grandma. I too, am a new grandpa. I have 27 grandchildren.G-D Bless!JASS!
I see you read Ted, White, and Blue. I agree with not liking the bad language but I do like his politics.
I had read where you had written, "I believe Jesus's message was to the Jews. He was always talking to them about His Kingdom not to the people who would make up His body, the church". I wanted to say I appreciate you saying that, I think that is a point that gets lost so often in modern teaching. (This may be why you and I both agree about Matt 24.)In a book by RC Sproul I was reading, he said and I am paraphrasing: there are things that we can gleam from scripture, but never forget that all scripture had a primary audience and we should never substitute ourselves for that audience.
thanks for add me
Sorry it has been a while. very busy with my son - he is 9 months already. And also dealing with a lot with my health. Miss all of you guys. I will try to spend a little more time here though. I just read BoneMan's Daughters and it is the first book I have read since Elijah was born. God bless,~Joy and Elijah
