He managed his officers with a care and concern not often seen and never acknowledged. Steve understood the difficulty I was having at the 10 year point in my career and managed to get me into my assignment of choice thus enabling me to stay for a career. I owe my career to Steve. May he rest in peace, we have the watch.

Being a mothe...Thank goodness Jesus paid it all :)<br /><br />Being a mother and grandmother I think Hezekiah's son, Manasseh did the most damage to the Jews. He encouraged idol worship, offered his infant sons to the idol Molech (the dog --faced one with the hole where his stomach should be where they built fires so hot the arms of the people putting the babies in the fire were burned and blistered. 2 Kings 21 tells us how he made the streets of Jerusalem run with the blood of the children on the Jews.<br /><br />2 Chronicles 33 tells us how he was carried off to Babylon and he repented of his evil. God heard him and brought him back to his reign in Judah where he reigned for 55 years--longer than any other king of Israel.Refreshment in Refugehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109290647409291383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14059117.post-22088994037793604142021-06-14T14:38:25.237-05:002021-06-14T14:38:25.237-05:00King Solomon has a lot of apologizing to do for th...King Solomon has a lot of apologizing to do for those who's lives he ruined or caused to end both physically and spiritually.

On Wednedsday night, I prayed asking God to accept my apology for not giving a desire of our son and then of ours over to God. I made the assumption that this was what God wanted for our son. Wednesday evening, he kept saying,"I didn't think this would be this hard. I even asked God if this was the right time for our son to be doing this. By early afternoon on Thursday, our son had good news for us. After four years living 600 miles from us, he will relocate to a town that he likes near where his dad grew up. And it's only 100 miles away (2 hours compared to a minimum of 10.) quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14059117.post-8150171203617296202015-01-16T09:45:32.592-06:002015-01-16T09:45:32.592-06:00Thank you, Cecilia.

Cannot even imagine. Flipping through channels I heard, "I can see right away she doesn't have as good of a body as the first girl, so I'm not sure this will go well," and I'm thinking, "When you make the naked form the primary attention, how could you <i>not</i> expect to have people objectified?" We've managed to come a long way from the original shame of nakedness (Genesis 3).Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523232247971115247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14059117.post-67519054636787649342015-01-09T12:59:28.101-06:002015-01-09T12:59:28.101-06:00Isn't it sad, Cecelia, that parents need to be...Isn't it sad, Cecelia, that parents need to be told what's on and what to beware of?
