Not to be confused with "mooning". :killinme

You didn't have gloves???? We sure did. It was quite interesting actually, some of the boxing matches that we had. My most memorable one was between John Nickerson and this very tall and heavy set guy who was actually a momma's boy type. He used to get a lot of teasing. One night they convinced him to put on the gloves and he and John were going to box. John was poking fun at him and egging him on to take a swing, when suddenly Rodney hit him with an upper cut that sent John backward and if I remember right resulting in him hitting his head on the wall behind. The shocked expression on John's face was priceless! However, having connected with his punch so scared Rodney that he tossed off the unlaced gloves and ran up the stairs to his room and locked the door. He was afraid to come out of his room for quite a while.

The "StarWars Kid" was a Canadian also!

My youngest son who turned 13 today said "Wow dad i want to go to NCC now so i can learn how to box!"

Hey!!

I see my son on there...

Very interesting to say the least :driving

Good call!!

:heeheehee

Four Falls has a pastor?

The Dairytown needs a shepherd I guess??????

Just checking into the Canadian thread...trust the Saints of the Most High are well. :canada

LOL!! :killinme

Rebellion?! :nah:usa

Indeed, ours was a rebellion and those traitors in the St Lawrence Valley fought against us even on Lake Champlain!

General Conference and District Elections will be different in a few years from Now!

Yes Bro.Donavon son I believe of one of their first pastors.

Nope. They are solid as rocks. Four generations of them.

Always "sonny" on the northside and "little is mutch, when God is in it."

Preach it!

Great Grand ma,Grand Dad And grand Mom .Daughter and husband and grand kids

Birdie you hail from the Miramichi don't you?

Plus more!

Nope! But a lot of stuff went on there lately. Whew! A lot of people sure need to get saved. How's Memracook these days?

Them's the ones who would do it. i was speaking to someone the other day and we thought Fredericton was about due for another split and church.
Thiers some pros in F'ton.

Politicking is alive and well.

Memramcook is definately in my prayers ,it's been about a month now since my last visit there.

Yea a lot of stuff did my BIL was baptised in Jesus name and just this past week my niece was baptised!

There's some pros in almost every church!

If it should ever cross your American minds to march in this direction again, Sir Isaac Brock awaits you. The hand that spanked the Americans in 1812 is forever outstretched from atop his monument, warning of a second humiliation if the rebels attempt to sail the St. Lawrence again.

Four generations eh?

That narrows the field of potential "tentmakers" considerably.

You would have to look in more than one church to find four generations of most F'ton families.

This is my first post at this forum (perhaps even my first since back in the days of the orginal FCF), and how I wish it could be a happier reunion.

I need to ask if my old friends here would be kind enough to pray for the restoration of my marriage. It would be difficult to overstate the urgency of my plea.

Thank you so much. I am utterly broken, and clinging to the thinnest thread of hope.

Firewind,

So good to see your name again.

This statement was the theme of this past Sunday night's sermon: "Prayer is not a last resort for believers or a cop out for when we feel incapable. Many times we say, "I'll pray," when there are no other words, because we know that prayer changes things."

So, because all others words shrink before the magnitude of your need, "I'll pray."

Hello Firewind so good to have you back with us.We will be praying for you and your wife and for restoration!

Bro. Firewind, no one could state it any better than ML did..."I'll pray."

May God bless you during this most dificult time...

Hmmm.. quite a sentence!! Almost needs an interpreter to unravel it for me??

:hypercoffee

Wow!!

Awesome!!

Splendid!!

Wonderful!!

Amazing!!

Glorious!!

:telephone

Too often we say:

"I can't do anything for you, but I'll pray."

"I don't have any answer, but I'll pray."

"I don't know what else to do so I'll pray."

"I've tried everything else, I guess I'll try prayer."

"I've talked to everybody else, I'll try praying."

Prayer should be our first response, and not a last resort.

(Please excuse the earlier sentence. The only thing more convoluted then my words are my thoughts.)

This is all true, Elder...even worse, and I admit to be guilty, voicing a chorus of well meaning platitudes, going on for what seems like days, when simply and sincerely saying, "I will pray, " or "Let us pray" would suffice.

Your above post reminded me of this story (it is in my book...whenever I get it finished)...:sshhh

My brother, Jim, tells the story of a woman who was in the hospital and her condition was grave. The doctor took the family in the hall and gave them the report that no child wants to hear. They turned, walked slowly back into the room, and with deepest sorrow, said, “Mom, the doctor told us that he’s done all he can do. So...we guess we’ll just have to trust God now!” The dying Saint looked up at them, and asked, “Well, you mean it’s come to that?”

Calling on the Name of the Lord and seeking His counsel shouldn’t be something we have to "come to" because every other door is closed. Turning to the Master should be our first move…our first thought…our only hope. There should never be the thought of, “Well, if God doesn’t come through, I’ll try this or that!” Faith and trust should not be under girded with a backup plan.

Just my thoughts...

Speaking of interesting contortions of the Queen's English, I have noted the consistent use of the word "rather" in an unusual way by more than one forum poster (Or it may be one with several identities). Rather is used in the place of "whether."

eg. "In other words, do not watch a video tape of a tv program rather it is sports, news, history, documentary, animal planet, recaps of 9/11 or whatever."

Is this a regional use of the word?

Hmmm...never noticed that...

Amen.

That's what I was trying to say.

You were perfectly clear, as always...
