Myown Faith Topic

Hi Myown. (I hope I'm in the right place : )  It's kind of changed over here since I was last here.    

I don't know that I have arrived at a choice, really.  I guess it sounds like I'm an atheist, but I've never thought of myself as one or never claimed to be one.  While I have arrived at certain beliefs, I really don't know how I arrived at them.  They are not from my upbrining.  My parents, while not "religious", per se, did go to church, they took us -- that's just we all did back then, me, my sister;  then I got my son into Sunday School when he was old enough to go, we went to church (not every Sunday, but most Sundays). He didn't grow up to be some fanatical religious person (far from it) nor is his wife very religious, but they do have a faith, and I bet they'll have their little girl and little boy in Sunday School one day, and church too.  I know he will. I'm glad he will because I do think it serves a wonderful purpose, and I think he thinks so, too - even though none of us are close to being "real religious".

LOL, I think I was just hot about the stuff that moveabove was spouting. No you did not say anything that I should take any offense at all. I remember you from when I was here a little over two years ago and appreciated your comments to me. Take Care!

Dear imagine, i'm wondering if by any chance you meant to speak to someone else besides me in your post above addressed to me??? because i don't remember saying anything previously about your faith choice... i'm totally confused,(which sure wouldn't be the first time...lol)

i'm so sorry if i said something that was offensive to you... i surely didn't mean it if i did... i actually loved your post, it was very touching. i hope i did'nt say something to hurt you. please let me know if i did, i can assure you it was not my intention...

peace,

lol! i was saying to myself,,,what the heck??? bug seemed so normal,,oh no, she's not! lol I know i can push buttons so of course i didn't think it was an error. ha!

Glad you caught up with me and told me. It didn't seem like you, thats why it confused me. But if it happens again, I'll know its an error. It would be funny if you said something down the road like that again to me and I said 'oh you meant that for moveabove right?' And you say,'no,THIS TIME I MEANT IT FOR YOU MYOWN'. lol

Don't worry about it,mistakes happen. see  ya later!

well, I'm so glad that these drugs do not affect my brain. I called moveabove myown for the second time and it took me several days to catch it:
Myown:You push my buttons and get a rise out of me everytime. My autonomic nervous system gets in that fight or flight mode and, well, I've never been one to run from a fight. Lets just nicely agree to disagree. Besides, I think more wars are fought over greed and money than religion. Just had to get in the last word;)
I couldn't figure out why moveabove was not responding!
Really, I've always had problems with messing up a person's name. I'm very good at renaming people!
Take care you've been cracking me up lately, I did notice the physical resemblance between you and Rev!

I should know better than to stick my neck into this hornets nest but...

In C12 you say:

When I see others raising their objections and/or trying to make it sound as though I'm trying to convert them I simply tell myself that perhaps it's simply the Spirit convicting upon them to make them aware that they do know what is right but refusing to accept it.

There are times when I wonder if the objections are not initiated by the people themselves, but instrumented by the one who wants to keep all in the dark and shadow of untruths.

Then later in c39 you go on to say:

I would agree that one does not need to go around thumping their bible. But I do not believe that sensitivity to others means that one suppress absolutely all expression of their faith......

I tolorate and recognize the right of others to express their beliefs and allow them that right rather than trying to witness to them that I believe they are wrong and why.

Maybe you toked up a fatty between making those posts?

That was it! It seems it doesnt take much to amuse me either these days.
I am so glad that is all figured out.
Ladybug:
I dont know if "brave" is the term I would use. I must have also been a little crazy, but there was a minimal window in which we could do this successfully, and we packed and ran for it. thanks be to God, it all worked out. We all found jobs that we like, and within 5 miles of our condo. Cant ask for much more. It was snowing when I went to work this morning, it was soooo beautiful.

Friole: how have you been doing???? Where are you at with your tx? How are sx?

There it is . . . Hum? Anyway, thanks again for the tunes they were great. I especially like the John Prine tune with the Tin Whistle, which is one of the instruments I play as well as the bagpipe. Liked the mandolin song to. I'm building two right now, between rest periods.

Thanks for the Rx.

Is there limits to how long a tread can be. I posted a reply and it didn't go through. Last post number in the thread is 82 and mine was 86 I think. They must be going to never never land or something.

Hi Domusic. Glad you liked the Rx :)  Music is the best way for me to figure something out or just keep thinking on it and never figure it out.  I do my best to keep the good medicine going. In fact, I just might start responding with music only :)  Naw... but I was thinking it would be nice to post some songs every few days because it is a diversion (a great one).  My taste in music goes from one extreme to the other - depends on my mood.

Well... I'm on my way to the GI do, and so I'll leave with these songs.  Some are peaceful, some are jazzy, some are silly, some are fun.  All of it's fun. (If it's not fun, I don't wanna participte.)  

The next to the last song? lol - it's particularly fun, and I dedicate it to Myown because I truly believe she has the power (said with sincerity)

Have a great day!

Howdy,,,don't ya leave,,,I think your nice,,,don't worry about moveabove,,,he's harmless (I think?) I find that if you don't care for what someone posts and you know that,,just don't read anything they write, unless of course its inside a thread of your own,,,I just started doing that of recent,,actually I am getting lazy at reading all the posts on the other side and now I find my self reading just a couple and then moving on to do something else..On the other side I don't understand why a certain few sorta even follow me around, so curious at what I'm posting, strange or hard to understand...that never ending thread I opened seems to keep going on,,i like how ladybug said,,,'the thread that keeps on giving,' I cracked up so hard laughing when I read that.

but sit down, take your shoes off stay a while.
now i have to scram,,,i have to do some housework,,,see ya later.

I couldn't sleep last night (as usual) and about 3 am turned on the computer and found your "Prescription" of music. So I have to say I spent at least a half hour enjoying your links at Tiny URL. Thanks chcnme! I for one would love to see more of this as I "Watch & Wait". It was a very nice diversion.

You sure did start something LOL!  I'm very glad to have met you too.  What a great topic this has been (I think for everyone).  I have indeed seen many unbelievable things and experienced many things (miracles) that nothing can explain other than.... it was an act of ... (I don't know why it's hard for me to say this), but an act of God.  I guess it's become difficult for me to say "God" (especially on a Hep C forum)  because the word "God" is so inflammatory to some people that it just ...it's ridiculous.  That fact alone has influenced my use of the word, God.  Even though I may wax and wane at times on my beliefs and what I do and don't believe in, I used to never be hesitant to say something like "it was an act of God",  or "I am blessed", or "my prayers are with you."  I don't say that to people anymore.  Some people take such offense at those kinds of statements that I am no longer spontaneous with "God" because I don't want to I don't even tell someone anymore that my prayers are with them because I'm afraid someone will get all bent out of shape and start hollering about political correctness.  Yeah right :)  I think you know where I'm coming from.  

Glad you liked Ray Charles Amazing Grace.  Pine Box is pretty good, too.  And the song, Light from the Half Canyon was from one of my favorite movies of all times, A River Runs Through It.  

Best of luck to you with your treatment, and I look forward to the continued friendship!  Good luck to everyone.

Ya know,......I MUST be whacked! I have been sitting here tryin to remember what my monikeer was before I changed it to northstar..............kinda scarey huh?
Well, there's my life in a nutshell these days, one blonde moment after another. lol
But yeah, I was living down south, and we decided to come back to our roots, the northwest. I grew up in washington state, so Im feeling right at home these days.
I love Oregon! the people are chilled and easy going. The state is filled with mountains, beautiful views in every direction, and so many things to do if your so inclined.
I am going crazy trying to remember the name I used!!! What was it! Oh,........why did you ask me, I wont sleep till I remember now.

Myown: I am no longer on tx.I have been off for about 3 months now. Lots of post sx. From all the reading, and asking I have been doing about some of my symptoms, one keeps popping up, it is "periphial neuropathy" (sp.?)
I feel like Im am being burned (literally) off and on in the wrist/hand. I read where it is not so uncommon to experience this 3-5 months after tx.(thats when it peaks)
I am hoping this is temp. as it did state that for some this is both permanent and irreversible damage in some cases, caused by interpheron therapy.
But went on to say that for most this is temp sx.

LADBUG! I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING MAMA,..........I DONT REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
