My brother, and everyone else who is concerned...
Thank you all so very much, I am deeply moved and almost brought to tears at your concern for me.
I am blessed to have met such good people.
God bless you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
John (Bronzesnake)

Brother, You are most welcome. I read one other message also, so I don't know when you will read this. Stay in bed and please do what the doctor tells you. I and many others will be praying for your full and speedy recovery every day. Brother, in the meantime, use some of the quiet time to read the Bible or have someone read it to you. KEEP LOOKING UP!

In Christ,
Tom

       Thanks!, I needed that laugh.

I'm Tom.

In Christ,

Oklahoma Howdy to All,

Thanks. I hope to earn your confidence by going forward with prayer and instructions from ADMIN. I appreciate your help and support, especially in reporting outrages that hinder Christian fellowship here (i.e. cursing, profanity, blasphemy, mockery of Christ, etc.). My attitude will be that I work for you.

In Christ,
Tom

What did everyone do this weekend, and what would you do if money were no object?

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

I spent the weekend with my grandsons and had a ball. My little guy is 3 months old, and the big boy will be 3 years old in December. Now this is entertainment at the finest!  

If money was no object, I would probably give most of it away to my church, several missionaries in my family, and some of my favorite charities. We would always have hamburger with the hamburger helper. Now that I've mentioned food, I probably made Symphony hungry.  

In Christ,
Tom

Congratulations Blackeyedpeas!  

We now have police protection!  

Oklahoma Howdy to Sincereheart,

  Thanks, I needed that laugh. I don't think that ADMIN will let me carry my 45 and pepper mace.  

I think it means that I have much to pray about in trying to do a good job.

In Christ,
Tom

Oklahoma Howdy to Musiclover,

I had to edit the URL address to the site. It was in the wrong format and wouldn't work. It works now, and there are two new votes.

In Christ,

Hi BEP,

I have been having numerous computer problems (to say the least) and haven't been able to post.

However, today I actually was able to get into the forum and noticed something quite fantastic. I think a congrats may be in order, but need to get filled in on it.

I saw your Five Blue Star Global Moderator sign (very impressive) , and wanted to congratulate you. However, to be perfectly honest, I don't know what it means. I think there are five star generals, but need you to enlighten me on this one. Because right now, I don't know exactly what I'm congratulating you for, although I know it is in order.  

Blessings to you and your family,

Alfie

Oklahoma Howdy to Alfie,

I'm glad your computer is on the mend. I think that the moderator designation mean that I have much to pray about. I reported some messages with cursing and blasphemy and offered to help. My offer was accepted. I'm hoping that the Christians here will help and press that moderator button when they see something like that. I really want to do a good job with this and have been praying about it.

I think the 5 stars actually mean that I work for you and the other Christians here.

In Christ,
Tom

Oklahoma Howdy to Alfie,

Welcome back, we missed you. Tons of computers got hit with the stuff going around.

In Christ,
Tom

Oklahoma Howdy to All,

Please accept my apologies. I must have hit the wrong button when I posted my message and locked the thread.

Dear Heavenly Father, we ask for healing for our Brother Bronzesnake if it is your will. Lord, give his doctors guidance and wisdom to provide the best treatment for our brother. Father, we ask for strength and comfort for Bronzesnake and his family during these difficult times. We ask for these things in the Blessed Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.  Amen.

In Christ,
Tom

 Yep, for bronzesnake up there in Canada...   Haven't heard anything.

Oklahoma Howdy to Symphony and Whitehorse,

Let me look. I might have a regular E-mail address for Bronzesnake. I'm trying to remember, is he an acquaintance of IrishAngel? Things were sounding pretty good for a time, but I think we really need to pray for him.

In Christ,
Tom

Oklahoma Howdy to Dalfrath,

I missed getting to welcome you to Christians Unite. Welcome, I hope you enjoy Christians Unite, and have good fellowship here.

In Christ,
Tom

Oklahoma Howdy to Elijah and Musiclover,

As brothers and sisters in Christ, we all need to pray for each other and encourage each other. This is an evil world, but this life is short and nothing in comparison to the Glory that will be in JESUS FOR ETERNITY.

The Bible makes it clear that Christians will have their trials, troubles, and persecutions here. Christians Unite has a specific purpose of fellowship between Christians, but it is not immune from the problems of the world. The peace and quiet here goes up and down, much like real life. However, there is a core of strength and sweetness here who are Christians. It is nice when that core grows and fellowship grows.

It is amazing how much good is done here, despite the efforts of those who are here to disrupt or destroy the good. If you subtract the trolls and those here for evil, it's also amazing that over 500 people of various faiths and denominations are getting what Christians Unite is really for, fellowship. Yes, we have varying disagreements from time to time, but the fellowship is still there.

There will come a time on this earth when Christians will have trials and be persecuted like no other time. Maybe that time is approaching. Our fellowship with Christ and each other will become more and more dear.

In Christ,
Tom

Oklahoma Howdy to LMarsh,

It's nice to see you back. It's especially nice to hear all of the good things God is doing in your life right now. I think Christians Unite has been down once or twice since you were here. Some of the folks have different nicknames now. You'll have to jump in and find out who is who.

In Christ,
Tom

Oklahoma Howdy to GreenEggs,

Welcome to Christians United. I liked your open and honest first message. We all have problems of one kind or another. That's the neat thing about being able to fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ whenever you want to. I honestly believe the best place to start here is in the prayer areas. That will give you a chance to meet a bunch of really sweet Christian people and see that we all have problems. The Holy Bible doesn't say anything about Christians having it easy in this short life. However, our short trials and problems in this short life are nothing in comparison to the glory and eternity we will enjoy with Christ. Jump in and have fun.

In Christ,
Tom

Oklahoma Howdy to Soulfire,

Welcome to Christians Unite. I sincerely hope that you enjoy it. There are many sweet Christian people here to fellowship with. I think one of the best places to get to know a few folks is in the prayer groups. Jump in and holler at us.

In Christ,
Tom
