Is that why you guys over in Cali have some many forest fires?

I never thought of that!!! But what about all the other foliage? I could move to the desert but then I might see a cactus!! Oh, I am more and more terrified!!

You need an older sister to help you out as stated in Tit 2:3-5:

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Sister lay off the chronic, and repent.
I will call holinesswoman today. Or, I would, if I had a phone.

It might seem silly to you, D4T, but really, it isn't silly to me at all. The reason for this is that the fear that Emma shows is the fear that I lived under when I felt like I had to do certain things like not having a tree or not be right with God. It does get crazy, I will grant you that.

I am very distraught today, my friends. I am in agony and I do not know what to do. I thought I was free from paganism and false worship when I realized something terrible. You know how we would never have a Christmas tree and we are concerned about getting presents from under it, lest we bow to the tree. Well, my friends, I realized that when I plant my garden, pick up my children or pick up things off the floor that I also am bowing. I am frozen in place today. I am simply sitting in a chair and not doing anything until I figure this out. Maybe one of you men can help me. (Women CANNOT help me as we cannot teach doctrine!!) Thank you very much for your help.
Are you saying that you lived in fear in picking your children up off the floor that you were bowing to them and, somehow, worshiping them?

Planting the garden?


A fear of bending over of any kind?

These are the fears you dealt with?
