May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each one of you.

yes, and might i add,

That your hunger for God will not be satisfied. and that you will not be satisfied with "just church", but be thirsty for His presence in your life on a day to day basis. I hope you will discover what a joy it is to be completely filled with His joy and peace and the fullness of how much Jesus loves and cares and delights in giving you the desires of your heart....when you seek after Him. Let praise be on your lips continually in good and bad times , and know that when tough times come(and they will) that God's grace is sufficient and He will deliver you, and hide you from your enemies if you will just take refuge in His love. Happy new Year, and God bless you guys and gals.

you can have church anywhere, not just in a building. cool!went to ny bash anyway. glad-folks missed me in old class. am surprised. even an old crush said hi. wow! chnl 12 came at start for a short caption. then he was off to crockett st. at least this party was free. even played some U2 and oasis. awesome! already fond memories of those songs-yet bittersweet.[ old ex's favorite was u2-he transfered with job on 96]

had to know what Id be missing had I chose to stay home. few came in with dates. but they are obvious couples already. as usual,. wore my maroon jacket[not entire time as it was warm at party]no dancing. just sitting or standing around in their usual groups like at sunday school. good to missed anyway. one guy pal gave me a ghug on way out. not a romantic hug. a brotherly one. still nice.

thought I was over that crush. am not. if he had gave me hug, woulda fainted on spot. [; may visit that class again. [;

Anyone else stay up and watch PRETTY IN PINK? love those 80 classics. can relate , who cant? HAPPY NEW YEAR!

if not on here later. my dad has to use computer or my eyes are red again. hahaha. Im the chic in the brown jeans. depends on weather. and razors. oops-too much info.

Thanks Thom and to you too!!

which one is Thom? [; better with faces than names at church. prob havent met him yet either.

Thom is the topic starter's real name, he lives in Michigan - CCC in Beaumont, TX would be a bit of a commute

Thank you for the New Year blessing Thom and nabster, a great way to start 2005

hello. have a good week all!

Thanks nabster!!

good article about perry re election coming up, todays paper. met welsh durind Poe campaign FAll 04. and another chap who wrote articles/commentaries on occasion [same paper].he doesnt go to church at cc. so names wont matter. met delatorre , but he didnt remember me at church. [i had different hair].for a block walk, coffeemaker didnt work that saturday.

delatorre was on chnl 12 [weather i think]awhile back. funny chap too. in choir i think at ccc. didnt want to embarass since he didnt remember me[at church]. all blockers met at judy/macon ware's home for lunch. john sat at our table shortly. had to go to a wedding i think.

Those are related to the blessings Thom and nabster prayed over us for 2005?

small world, that was your wedding he attended? cool.

Ill be voting for perry due to prolife, unlike hutchinsen. shes why i rarely vote for chics, even Repubs. makes us look bad! she is against partial birth. whoopee-what about whole birth?

I was just wondering what the election of 2004 had to do with the new year blessings Thom and nabster prayed over us (thus the topic of the conversation ). In most threads it helps keep conversation flowing if we stick to the topic of the thread... otherwise we start a different thread and choose the topic we wanna talk about
