I think Fellowship Breakfast sounds accurate, and fellowship can of course include prayers as well as breaking bread together and chatting and laughing and being happy.<br /><br /><br /> ~LornaLornahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17253618577306258135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644851524925555310.post-26145510570051737682009-03-23T16:29:00.000-04:002009-03-23T16:29:00.000-04:00Susan,<BR/><BR/>I have been going to these types of gatherings for years. Mostly as a sign of support to my colleagues who are building their minstries. Great Fellowships that I treasure today.<BR/><BR/>As I have grown in the Faith, these were nice outings to introduce those who are young in Christ and a non-intimidating entrance into the land of "church" which is sometimes scary. But out comes the offering and a display of "Spiritual gifts" that many new to Christ don't understand.<BR/><BR/>I vote to just pray No FOOD, no entertainment!! Opps the last time I did that, it was just me a friend and God. THAT was AWESOME!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644851524925555310.post-57988292936460115272009-03-23T10:15:00.000-04:002009-03-23T10:15:00.000-04:00I recently came across your blog and have been reading along.

"Drink more water" is on my Makeover list, I'm definitely going to use your idea!Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10950850901557220287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644851524925555310.post-59555009301003051302009-03-07T22:55:00.000-05:002009-03-07T22:55:00.000-05:00I am new here!

Made me wonder which 5 (of many, I'm sure!) I'd choose. Speaking of addictions - if you like reading, try my book A Painful Post Mortem. It's a novel but is inspired by the true story of how the Lord released my daughter from a 13 year heroin addiction - only for her to die, suddenly, 5 yrs later. ALL proceeds are for charities benefiting kids.<BR/>MelMel Menzieshttp://www.melmenzies.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644851524925555310.post-29976973048974195462009-02-24T08:03:00.000-05:002009-02-24T08:03:00.000-05:00You always leave me with much to reflect on with your writings, love it!<BR/><BR/>I have a blog award for you at<BR/>http://thesurrenderedscribe.blogspot.com/2009/02/my-five-addictions.html<BR/><BR/>Keep that fiery flame!The Surrendered Scribehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08658926809120105714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644851524925555310.post-78436360441620559152009-02-15T15:19:00.000-05:002009-02-15T15:19:00.000-05:00As much as I love my Father I<BR/>still must question myself to<BR/>ask,I'm I being a good overseer<BR/>of my portion.My answer sorry too say if I'm truly honest would be not as good as I should be.<BR/>Thank you for the post,really gets me to thinking.<BR/><BR/>SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644851524925555310.post-55792709111846972432009-02-04T12:39:00.000-05:002009-02-04T12:39:00.000-05:00Godly words to heed.

I participated too long in those counterfeit ways. I've been with the Lord 15 years and I never want to go back. I'm passionate about spending time with the Lord, in His word, prayer, desiring and yearning the personal relationship. My prayer is all believers walk in the intimate personal relationship with our Savior Jesus for if they experience it, they will never want anything else.<BR/>Engrafted by His Grace-<BR/>ShondaShondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17704146860641239128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644851524925555310.post-43022579569947264532009-01-15T15:43:00.000-05:002009-01-15T15:43:00.000-05:00Hi Susan, I found you through Howard.

Let me see if I can summarize your point:<BR/><BR/>* Vision that serves our own lustful purposes is not of God<BR/>* Vision that glorifies God is ultimately of God<BR/>* It is through our walk with the Holy Spirit that we are able to discern what is of God. <BR/>* That ability to discern is a day to day process of growth we embark upon by spending time in the Word.Mike Cottmeyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00824174740817271111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644851524925555310.post-1369690162263205242009-01-11T15:55:00.000-05:002009-01-11T15:55:00.000-05:00"It is His good pleasure to be with us every step of the way."

I really do not believe most people think they love God, but when things get tough they turn quickly to &quot;Why God?&quot;. <BR/><BR/>Love is unconditional. It is something that is so deep that nothing can pull you apart. I know that when Larry &amp; I got married, we thought we were in love. But as I look back 37 years ago, we did not have a clue. It was something that has grown over the years. It is true love! <BR/><BR/>When I gave my heart to God, I started this love affair with Him. Today, my love is so much stronger, deeper and more sincere than 43 years ago. How can I not love him more each day?Ginger Tatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10733871962449236985noreply@blogger.com
