I will forever be thankful for the Confetti Wars started by a teacher who shall remain nameless.<BR/><BR/>jimazing, there's more to come, for sure!<BR/><BR/>Terry, thanks for the comment. I am cleaning my closet to be sure, but only for the purpose of encouraging others to know Jesus truly is the all in all. This series is about a search I have gone through to be removed from my self-righteousness self-effort and nothing else.dedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110715735805987539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746468652435913462.post-42916301858410760792008-08-10T15:49:00.000-04:002008-08-10T15:49:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.dedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110715735805987539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746468652435913462.post-56372832725010762282008-08-10T15:36:00.000-04:002008-08-10T15:36:00.000-04:00porch sittin' Yep, it was tiring, but God did and ...porch sittin' Yep, it was tiring, but God did and does prove Himself continually in our lives and the lives of our children!<BR/><BR/>Blessed be His name forever!dedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110715735805987539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746468652435913462.post-78947597807279601302008-08-10T13:26:00.000-04:002008-08-10T13:26:00.000-04:00I find it very interesting that at the very point ...I find it very interesting that at the very point you were remembering that situation, another one of our "friends" was writing about abusive leaders.

I am a firm believer in being willing to do "whatever," but also a firm believer in trusting our Lord to supply all that is needed, including volunteers to do stuff we cannot pay to have done. He is faithful. Sometimes, we want the enterprises so we push and shove ourselves and others to "make" stuff happen. I think it would be best not to do this.Iris Godfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514316297577930499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746468652435913462.post-75980636157104602952008-08-08T08:19:00.000-04:002008-08-08T08:19:00.000-04:00Shew..Makes me tired to think back at that time.
