  Did anyone see or do a random act of kindness today?

  today while unloading my groceries, i witnessed a random act of kindness... someone in a ford explorer was waiting for a car to leave a parking spot so they could pull in there, they had been waiting for several minutes when finally the car in that spot backed out and left.

  before the person in the ford explorer could pull into the spot, a lady in a ford taurus pulled on into that parking space.

  the person in the ford explorer who had been patiently waiting, just sat there, they didn't honk or flip the person off, then the lady in the ford taurus realized that the other vehicle had been waiting for that spot and backed out to find another spot, letting the guy who had been waiting have his spot.

  My dear husband just left to take a friend out of the palliaive care unit to watch the big parade here. He has brain cancer and not much time left. My husband is a very kind man and I am always proud of him and the many random acts of kindness that he does each and every day.

  my mom called last night to tell me he passed on sunday.

  he died peacefully and fairly painlessly.

  my mom said she was talking with him, went to answer the phone, and 5 minutes later he was gone.

  my bf has had to go to belfast today for work.

  he doesn't work away too often, this is only the 3rd time this year, and one of the times i went with him, but this time i have to stay home.

  i took him to the airport this morning, hugged him as he went to board his flight, and i've been ok all day, until he rang me about an hour ago.

  I know how you feel. My darlin has been gone for a month on a motorcycle trip with his brothers. A sort of family mid life crisis! He will be home tonight I hope if the rain will let up. I have missed him so much. Just pamper yourself for a few days and the weekend will be here before you know it. ..Take care...Arwen

  hello i am megan tis my first time here (hence the title :) ) so i just thought i would introduce myself.. i've never actually never been actually been a jehovahs witness but i first actually got introduced to it in january when i met the amazing kw13 haha :) since then ive looked at books, articles and had a wonderous time on the friday of the 2006 3 day jw convention .

  i'm trying to help karl get his mum out of the witnessing, hopefully we can get through its not gonna be easy but we are optimistic.

  its been a real difficult time for me trying to understand the witnessing because it went from 16 years of just knowning them as them people who bother you at your door to getting to know alot more and their "morals".

  My DF'd brother will never go back!

  by AuldSoul in

  some years ago my brother was disfellowshipped.

  not for apostasy, but for more mundane reasons.

  he has not had the internet, he has not studied the bible much since being disfellowshipped, he has been feeling guilty and considering returning for the last six months.. i had no way of contacting him, having lost touch in the midst of his many moves.

  NEW INK!!!

  so, i went to my friendly neighborhood tattoo parlor today, and recieved my second and third (or 19th and 20th - depending on how you look at it) tattoo.

  the chest is an extremely sensitive area, and so i was very aware that i was alive for the majority of the time.. oh, birds are often seen as a symbol of freedom, happiness, and arriving safely.

  bones show regret, loss.. .

Very beautiful girl. So if you ever come to Canada both Legolas and I could introduce you to our daughters!!! You take care now, and be good to yourself......Love Arwen
