Rhoni's a therapist, yes. But she's also just a person. Like all of us, she is alternately wise and foolish, good and bad, rational and emotional, perceptive and blind....and so on.

Funny how you'll give whack-job counselors a free pass, but expect perfection from preachers.

My purpose may just to make people think about who and what they follow. I cannot be who you think I should be. I DO NOT APO0LOGIZE FOR WHO I AM.

Poor little Rhoni.

Re: Changing Denominations
Hey its about time. I said this the first time I pastored from the pulpit. Its
one thing to be denominal and do what the group does but another to be
a real Christian and get out and do the will of Jesus Christ. Amen Sister good job!

I live for Jesus everyday.
On the prairies & in the cities,
I live for Jesus all the way.
I just love being a Christian, and like Sis Alvear, I've never been ashamed to be identified with "Christians"; I can't say the same for some Pentecostals and, or Apostolics.
Blessings, Rhoni

I know the actions to this song! We did it when I was a kid, but I hadn't thought of it in a long time.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Changing Denominations
Never heard of the Christian Cowgirl song but remember this one?
The Lord's Army
I'm in the Lord's Army
I'm in the Lord's Army
I may never march in the infantry, ride in the calvary, shoot the artillary
But I'm in the Lord's Army.
