Do you still have horses? <BR/>Actually, not having a TV sounds awesome too. :) I hate TV. It helps people stay home in their basements instead of going out and seeing the symphony or a movie in a theatre - it builds walls not bridges. Besides it's boring to watch TV. :) :) :) Nevertheless, the rest of my family watches TV. I refuse though - not that I have time to do so anyway. :) <BR/>I wonder why she thinks her nose isn't nice too. But when I asked her she explained that it was too big...(and it's really tiny!) I have to think of a way to rephrase the question. <BR/>She doesn't believe in God though... so I'm not sure if I could tell her that she's made in God's image and that He always does a good job, and we're each "perfect" in His eyes. <BR/>I don't have any Max Lucado books! Isn't it terrible? :O :) <BR/>Night OwlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-18957446923404595232008-04-05T00:14:00.000-04:002008-04-05T00:14:00.000-04:00Dear Night Owl,I was a kid like you too.

Not so stylish, bookish, not sporty (we had horses instead of being on sports teams) and no T.V.<BR/>Like you said though, when Jesus came in everything changed. My focus of value was completely different, and the opinion of my peers began to matter less and less.<BR/>As for your young neighbour, a bunch of questions run through my mind, but you'd have to filter them through the Holy Spirit.<BR/>I'd like to know what initially made her think that her nose isn't nice. Go back to the beginning.<BR/>Ask her if she knows she's made in God's image, and that He always does a good job, but it's by His standards, not the world's.<BR/>Do you have "You are Special" by Max Lucado. Maybe she could borrow it.<BR/>Whatever works. I know God will lead you, if He has put this little one in your path. My prayers are with you and her. <BR/>Thanks for sharing.<BR/>AngcatAngcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043637983576750246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-88198800359616076532008-04-04T09:36:00.000-04:002008-04-04T09:36:00.000-04:00Oh!

She has the tiniest, most perfect nose ever. I CANNOT understand. And I think it's just terrible. I mean, she's not even fully grown (so it's probably going to change, right?)! <BR/>And when she told me this, I just didn't know what to say!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-60094267494425065802008-04-04T09:33:00.000-04:002008-04-04T09:33:00.000-04:00Angcat, I loved this post so much.

When I was in elementary school, I didn't really have any friends because I dressed differently and read books and played music. Others watched TV and read magazines and wore "cool" clothes. And I remember that my grade six teacher read us a Max Lucado book that year, because she knew the other girls would leave me out and I always had to do group projects alone... She knew that this was happening... She read the one about the dot stickers (my first Max Lucado book!). I'm not sure it affected the other girls in my class, but it definitely affected me. And even though nothing really changed after that, I felt different... I was stronger I guess. Books are so wonderful. :) <BR/>Anyway, thanks. :) I really loved your post. :) <BR/>Night OwlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-13702796535031106432008-04-03T09:11:00.000-04:002008-04-03T09:11:00.000-04:00Wow!Thanks Dave for that question posed. Here's a...Wow!<BR/>Thanks Dave for that question posed. Here's a thought. I'm becoming interested in the Hebrew way of thinking and understanding scripture and our faith. I went last night with two friends to hear a Spanish Jewish Christian speak on having a greater understanding of our faith by learning the ways and language of our forefathers (like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob). I came away feeling like there is an ocean of knowledge to be learned and I just tasted a drop, but came away thirsty. The whole point of this is to say that in the scripture, there were really only two groups, Jews and Gentiles, no Lutherans, Catholics or Baptists. We as Gentiles benefited by Yeshua coming to the Jews first.<BR/>There's so much here, but like Belinda said...let us blog.<BR/><BR/>And Susan...all I can say is...What she said!.<BR/>:-)<BR/>AngAngcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043637983576750246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-51778401519747754572008-04-02T21:12:00.000-04:002008-04-02T21:12:00.000-04:00Nope, you are not off the hook!

I've always loved the book of James in the NT but never hear it preached.

I did a session today on bullying and teasing of people with disabilities, but I could see that everyone in the audience understood those concepts on a more personal level. Learning to stand up and be who you are, know that who you are is who you are supposed to be, that God didn't make a mistake when he made you, that your worth comes from what you do not what you wear, that your value comes from being loved not being thin ... these are just some of the things that I wish we could teach ... and have believed.Dave Hingsburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918601687946534172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-57643229471182635722008-04-02T07:37:00.000-04:002008-04-02T07:37:00.000-04:00Dear Susan,You're loopy, and I love you.AngDear Susan,<BR/>You're loopy, and I love you.<BR/>AngAngcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043637983576750246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-72982553358566802532008-04-01T23:07:00.000-04:002008-04-01T23:07:00.000-04:00Can I pre-order an autographed copy for all ten of...Can I pre-order an autographed copy for all ten of my grandchildren?
