I will not and have never blamed the bad things on Him, yet lean on Him to give me strength and to provide healing. <BR/><BR/>Now, I'm sorry that your trip isn't working out the way you have planned. I read an article just this morning about two children who really wanted a boat. Their father told them to write a statement of faith, they did. A week later someone gave their family that boat they had prayed for. It was Kenneth Copeland's kids when they were children. The story was very inspirational. I don't do it justice...<BR/><BR/>We're drying out a bit today, how about you?Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910919508996307906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-2060725798033706242007-07-03T16:32:00.000-05:002007-07-03T16:32:00.000-05:00I just did a review of my stats and it would appea...I just did a review of my stats and it would appear "Seattle Boy" is not coming from Seattle at all but from the U.K. <BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-24208572676778962162007-07-03T16:13:00.000-05:002007-07-03T16:13:00.000-05:00Seattle Boy -My apology - I didn't divert to Katri...Seattle Boy -<BR/><BR/>My apology - I didn't divert to Katrina on purpose. I just read your comment so quickly and for some reason my mind went to our story and Katrina. You know I am an advanced age and not totally "sharp" all the time!!<BR/><BR/>I personally do not know anybody that was in 9/11 so I can't speak with much authority. I do know I've heard of many stories where Christians were saved from it (by for some reason not going to work - or actually surviving the blast itself, etc.) but I do not have any first hand on this so no authority as I said.<BR/><BR/>You and I have very different opinions about God. You obviously do not believe in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I certainly do not believe in Allah so we are at an impass.<BR/><BR/>I do not see any purpose in carrying on any discussion between the two of us. I have tried to be polite to you. I have my opinions and I am very strong in my conviction. I have lived as a Christian for 51 years of my 69 year old life. I have witnessed too much personally to ever be talked out of my beliefs. I am as sure of my SPIRITUAL BIRTH as I am of my physical birth.<BR/><BR/>Since this is my blog and since no one forces you to come and read it and since you are almost guaranteed to be hearing about my God, my Jesus, my Lord, my Savior, my Faith every time you do come. I suggest you don't spend your time dropping by and reading, what you obviously do not believe or adhere to. I would appreciate the courtesty of no more comments that are going nowhere.<BR/><BR/>I did not delete your comment today. You are aware I have that ability to do so. I really do control this blog.<BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-69739522332065144762007-07-03T15:33:00.000-05:002007-07-03T15:33:00.000-05:00Katrina was caused by convection over the ocean co...Katrina was caused by convection over the ocean combined with the earth's rotation (Coriolis force). But I notice you divert the discussion away from 9/11. God is either all powerful or he isn't. He either orders things or he doesn't. <BR/><BR/>God is great? God ordered the destruction of the twin towers? Right? Muslims say that Allah ordered it.<BR/><BR/>Misfortune doesn’t seem to discriminate between those of faith and those of no faith, or between those of one faith or another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-66678417813520470892007-07-03T15:03:00.000-05:002007-07-03T15:03:00.000-05:00Seattle Boy -Oh you've hit the right topic with me...Seattle Boy -<BR/><BR/>Oh you've hit the right topic with me now about Katrina!!!! God did not cause, and does not cause, things like that. God is a good God. <BR/><BR/>As to Katrina my daughter and grand daughter were in Katrina at Ocean Springs, Mississippi and lost everything they owned, except for the few items of clothing they had taken with them when they left.<BR/><BR/>Even though they lost things, they were only that THINGS but God protected their safety, their lives and blessed them abundantly through caring, God loving people who were there to help them. <BR/><BR/>What Satan meant for evil God actually turned into good in their lives and they are better off today than before Katrina. In fact my daughter is in the midst of buying a new home here in Tulsa. That's the God we serve.<BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-16163740254156973842007-07-03T14:11:00.000-05:002007-07-03T14:11:00.000-05:00WELL, it made me cry that you don't get to go!
