so our congregation is full of hardliner elders, 3 of them, who are not gentle, kind or loving.. people have either moved away or quit trying because one elder inparticular was going to drive them crazy with all his rules and nit picking and being righteous over much.

(and he is pissed that he hasn't been accepted to the school.

hmmm, i wonder why!).

Humble, kind, and loving.

The perfect example of how we all wish our Elders were.

The J.W fishpond of marriage mates! How many of us married a idiot!! No choice.

by Witness 007 in

what a horror.

instead of there being "more fish in the sea" our marriage mates came from the small and crapy witness pond.

anyone got burned by going with mr or mrs you will have to do?

*raises hand

Ummm....let's see...besides being a cold fish, (ewww creeping me out thinking of him) he was disrespectful, disloyal, inconsiderate, temperamental, controlling, careless, lazy, demanding and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Counting time

by Emma in

i may not have put this in the correct spot, but i do think it's scandalous the way time gets counted now.

i've seen a cart at the edge of our farmer's market, never anyone close enough to talk.

yesterday was a drizzly day and there were two carts set up, covered in plastic, "witnessing" on their own.

Great picture Emma!

While chatting with my sister a couple of months ago, (we don't speak very often as she's an innie) she'd mentioned she's been working at the airport. Went on about how fun it was, talking to people from all over the world, directing them to different service areas and suggesting things to do in the area etc... Also how nice to be working indoors, out of the summer heat. And how enjoyable it was, joking around with staff between flights. (Usually 45 min to an hour in between, as it's a smaller airport)

My response was "I'm happy for you, sounds fun!" Then, last week she called me for a favor, which is the ONLY time we speak lol. I asked her how her new job was going (I had assumed she worked some type of information desk) She asked surprisingly "Job??"

I responded "Yes, at the airport" She was like "No, silly! That's my assigned area for cart work!!" <aghast face>
