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".

,,agreeably to disagree about what?? lol really, maybe too many posts to read,,don't know which one you are referring to?
Mequila: You certainly did a great job of diffusing the situation. Sometimes it just takes a kind word.
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;)

Lilmomma? I kept thinking it was something related to momma or mommy too. Glad you're doing well. I admire people who can just pack up and move. How brave!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
