Mousetrap: I agree, it verily has changed in such that we have now many charity shops that give the opportunity to give and get at the same time. Also I like it that most shops now offer the means to give through simple giving of change in the prominent charity boxes and like they keep on the counters next to the tills.
There are so many ways to give these days it's rather wonderful.

Tuesday: I looked this up and it does seem to have been applied in the old Testament but in the new Testament there is not much mention of it. On one site it said that Jesus freed us from most of the old laws by that I mean he gave us freedom to choose and these days I think it is acceptable to give what you can afford to give. It does not have to be in money it could also mean just helping people and giving something back to society.

Artful Dodger: so many people ask how I can live here with a threat of hurricanes. We haven't had one like this since 1983...so it doesn't happen often..I used to live up north and in Colorado...every year people die in blizzards or from exposure from the cold. My sister lives in California for a while. She had earthquakes...my younger sister lives in Illinois on a fault line and they had an earthquake this year and tornado threats every year...a dear friend lives in Oklahoma..they, along with many states around them have a serious threat of tornadoes every year...when I lived in Colorado, there were rock slides and avalanches that claimed lives each year....and floods can be much more devastating than people realize...most of our country can be at risk for that at one time or another. it doesn't matter where you live..there are always risks....I feel very blessed and lucky to have come thru this so easily. It could always be worse...

baddessi: We have earthquakes and floods here. Sometimes rock slides in the mountain and avalanches too. But where I live on earthquakes affect us. We're up too high for floods, too far from the mountains too. I've felt a couple of earthquakes since moving out here.

we had a rough few days, but have power now and and are all fine. Please keep the people who were affected by Ike in your prayers..many people were not so lucky. They will need your prayers for some time.
Tuesday: I always thought that was the silliest thing..if you are in a serious accident, wouldn't the first thing that happens would be that you'd mess your clean panties?
Tuesday: probably not, but it made me laugh! We probably won't sleep in our beds tonight, but everyone has clean sheets..I have so much energy I've cleaned the place from top to bottom and done all the laundry!
I'd like to report that the doctors did all kinds of tests on my friend Eric and have decided to wait 6 months and check him again. That is a good thing and I thank those that prayed for him!
Bubbles Pbarb2: Good to hear from you and you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am surely praying for all those in the path of Fay. May God keep you all safe!!!
I thought I was doing very well. My back is doing very well without the surgery. Now they are working on my neck. They stretch it and is very painful. I am praying each day that I can recover from all this with God's help. Last Sunday I fell. So happy nothing broke. As I was getting up, somehow I broke my little toe. So trying to get over that. Just a little update on that. We are waiting for Fay to hit tomorrow. We are pretty well prepared.. Right now it sounds like it will go into a hurricane. Just have to ride it out and see what happens.. Please keep all in Fay's path in your prayers. Thanks... BARB
