Teresa,
May the Lord comfort you in this very difficult time (and yes I know exactly how difficult it can be.)  You and your mother will most definitly be in my prayers!

mmmm..ice coffee is yummie

Yup, depends on my work schedule, but I try to sneak on from time to time............especially during "coffee breaks" 

I guess we all could use a little coffee!! LOL

As Brother Tom said nothing or no one will be able to stop what God has planned for the human race since the begining. It is rather exciting to watch events unfold and it is also a time that we should focus more profoundly on those who have not yet heard the Good News, and for those that have heard and have not yet come around, as well as for those who have heard have accepted Jesus as Lord of their lives and have stopped serving Him. I for one have so many that I want to see saved before the end times, that sometimes I find myself asking God for just a little more time for those I am praying for to come around. But again it is all in God's Hands, His ways are perfect and I am ready when ever the Lord returns.

Amen! Amen! Amen!

We are waiting 

 

Friends, we are living in interensting times.  Not much at this point surprises me.
Blessings!

Correction brother, I'm a walk aholic. I was confined to a wheel chair for over a year, and when I was finally strong enough to try walking again I thanked God for giving me legs to walk. You can never be more grateful for what you have until you lose it. 

Amen sister, true on so many levels 

Amen brother it is indeed exciting.

Another Amen!

Hmmmm  ......  I could attach my coffee mug ( and coffee pot, too ) to my walker.  

My walker has a little seat and if I lift the seat there is a basket that fits right under it, I also have a tote bag on the front of my walker where I can keep the things I need to carry instead of taking my purse and carrying books. When I feel faint all I have to do is sit on the little seat of my walker, and it has breaks that lock too so I know it won't move unless I want it to, and it has wheels so I don't have to pick it up with each step. It's very handy and helpfull.

This is probably the first sign that you are a java-holic LOL! 

Yup, the coffee shop down the street from me has chocolate covered coffee beans.........ewww!

mmmmm...tomato juice 

I guess its all how you look at "encouragement."  Many times this is misunderstood.  I think the way that I look at it is the brothers and sisters on this site encourage to do what they feel is right.  I respect that very much and like BEP says, it all should be backed up with scripture.  Interpretation of that scripture is something completely different, so yes, I tend to disagree with some points made on this site, but I don't think that is anything to get upset over.  I find it actually makes me put my nose in the Bible and my mind set on prayer.   

So you're all like a bunch of rednecks here huh? slap each other silly, then go have a beer...I mean a lemonade together?
I suppose I could deal with that,  ...still, it don't look good to the lurkers.

[The Resurrection Body]

A good place to start, maybe, with how our bodies will be changed!  AMEN!

1 COR 15: 35 - 58  (It is also good to read all of Chapter 15) The Resurrection Body
 But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
      If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

 I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
 "Where, O death, is your victory?
      Where, O death, is your sting?"The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
