Thursday Night Thoughts On Cayce: 04-12-07
(09:21:11) (~AutoGreeter) The Red Path Chat Room welcomes you to Thursday Night Thoughts On Cayce Chat. Tonight's Host is: GG (Lory)
(09:24:33) (@gg) ". . . all that ye may know of good must first be within self. All that ye may know of God must also be manifested through thyself. To hear of Him only is not to know. To APPLY and to LIVE and to BE is to know." Edgar Cayce Reading 2936-2
(09:27:01) (@gg) While you are all thinking of what this really means to you, I will go first. I guess that is the one privilege we hosts have. :-) :-)
(09:27:52) (@gg) As the year 1968 was a year of sorrow and grief for me, it was also the beginning of a new direction. Many would probably say it was karma. If so, karma led to another marriage ten years later.
(09:28:26) (@gg) For five years, at the end of twenty-six, I found myself again as a 24/7 caregiver for my now beloved husband. It was a marriage of happiness and sorrow. And one with gratitude that with God's help I could be with him during his sacred and blessed transition.
(09:28:48) (Raleigh) all thingsare for the good for those that love god / romans
(09:29:02) (@gg) Today, three years later, with God's love and grace, I am working as a Hospice volunteer sharing my experiences with others in need of comfort, loving care, understanding and just 'being there for them', when their need arises.
(09:29:38) (@gg) A vision fills my mind, my heart, and my soul. A vision of an energetic, forceful presence; a loving God with His arms around me and in my life.
(09:30:21) (@gg) So, I guess that gives Blu the next interpretation of what this reading means to her.
(09:30:41) (~Blu) whew
(09:30:55) (~Blu) thats a tuff one to follow Lory
(09:31:02) (~Blu) Thank you for sharing that
(09:31:21) (Raleigh) oh / we are taking turns?
(09:31:38) (@gg) In alphabetical order Ral.
(09:31:43) (Raleigh) k
(09:32:02) (@gg) I just went out of turn because I had the floor. :-)
(09:32:15) (~Blu) ok, one of the things I have taken upon myself to work on lately is trying to love others as God loves them
(09:32:43) (~Blu) Now imagine I have just made an arrest, the adrenaline is flowing and I take this lost person to the office
(09:33:02) (~Blu) I have probably been wtching this person an hour or longer
(09:33:12) (~Blu) so I have a birds eye veiw of this person
(09:33:19) (~Blu) I see things not just anyone would see
(09:33:37) (~Blu) it is very easy to be critical and disgusted by what I see
(09:33:59) (~Blu) not so easy to see why God could love this person, let alone how can I see the good in them
(09:34:31) (~Blu) so I have asked Holy spirit to fill me with Love so that I might be the presence of God to these people, who may have never expereinced love
(09:35:05) (~Blu) so when I take this person to the office, I pretend that it is me sitting in the chair
(09:35:16) (~Blu) me going to jail
(09:35:23) (~Blu) me lying through my teeth
(09:35:31) (~Blu) me scared, abused, and totally lost
(09:35:55) (~Blu) sometimes I forget and I let loose on them if they lie to me
(09:36:13) (~Blu) but I review my apprehenssions and I continue to try
(09:36:26) (~Blu) try to see what it is that God so loves about these people
(09:36:40) (~Blu) sometimes I have no trouble with it
(09:36:44) (~Blu) sometimes I forget
(09:36:59) (~Blu) but I continue to apply , love thy neighbor as thyself
(09:37:27) (~Blu) because if I can love one of these as God has loved me, then I have achieved something greater than me
(09:37:40) (~Blu) end
(09:37:51) (Raleigh) wow blu
(09:37:53) (@gg) Blu, You have a very difficult job and I envy you not. However, perhaps it would help if you remembered that gave us all free will and these souls lots and lots to learn. You are there to help them.
(09:38:16) (Raleigh) to place ones self in anothers place i see /
(09:38:26) (~Blu) exactly Lory, I may be the first person they have ever met that is willing to try to show them god
(09:38:47) (~Blu) I am thier servant, not their keeper
(09:38:56) (@gg) Exactly and you just very well may have turned their life around.
(09:39:19) (~Blu) Well, they sure have mine
(09:39:39) (~Blu) I do not like what I see when I get angry, and I want it gone from me
(09:40:07) (~Blu) sometimes I think they are there to serve me
(09:40:23) (Raleigh) well yes in a way
(09:40:24) (~Blu) because with out this experience I might never have seen this about myself
(09:40:30) (@gg) Even they are where they are supposed to be just as are you. And they have a lesson to learn and I believe God is using you as His channel.
(09:42:35) (@gg) Since I am the host, I shall call next on Merri to share. :-)
(09:42:43) (Raleigh) :)
(09:42:49) (merri) for me it means, "you better get your act together!" Which is not always easy. The knowing is there, it's the everyday doing that needs work. I have been doing some volunteer work at the library and just recently at the info desk at the Mayo clinic here. It's a small start but the opportunities are there or should I say the "stepping stones". I do agree with Cayce's concept it's not just the knowing but the application
(09:44:20) (merri) now that I'm better at getting around here I'm looking for more stepping stones
(09:44:57) (@gg) Indeed, Merri. And you will find them, for Cayce reminded us all that we must ask.
(09:45:08) (merri) It's taken awhile for me to venture out not knowing the area
(09:45:17) (Raleigh) the thing to do is move cayce said /
(09:45:49) (Raleigh) so take action in things /
(09:46:25) (@gg) Is Mark back yet?
(09:46:55) (MarkH) yes ma'am

(09:47:23) (MarkH) in word
(09:47:29) (@gg) Great, Mark. Do you have a Thought from Cayce you would like to share?
(09:48:27) (MarkH) the one you shared is good then they all are,...was typing what this one means to me
(09:51:03) (MarkH) could you come back to me
(09:51:15) (MarkH) im still typing
(09:51:19) (@gg) Sure, Mark. Ah so, Ral. Go for it!

(09:53:56) (Raleigh) when i lost all i had / a good thing / i really needed to know i could only ---
(09:53:58) (Raleigh) hmmmm
(09:54:15) (Raleigh) i needed to apply that i have learned --
(09:54:42) (Raleigh) i never have been forced into a corner so to speak to do this /---
(09:54:53) (Raleigh) now by his grace i have
(09:55:18) (Raleigh) so now i need apply that i know with all my might --
(09:55:32) (Raleigh) by faith in things not seen ---
(09:55:45) (Raleigh) a real step of faith ---
(09:56:22) (Raleigh) i hope to show myself true to that i know as truth / ///
(09:56:28) (Raleigh) done / :)
(09:56:37) (~Blu) well done Ral
(09:56:43) (Raleigh) tx
(09:56:50) (@gg) Isn't it a glorious feeling, Ral. To know. To want to apply. To BE. Thanks for sharing.
(09:56:52) (~Blu) I see a lot of growth in you
(09:57:11) (Raleigh) yes gg
(09:57:15) (~WalksInSpirit) Very cool, Ral!
(09:57:34) (Raleigh) :)
(09:57:57) (~Blu) A lot of people would have gone back to thier old bad habits, but you are not
(09:58:13) (@gg) Are you ready now, Mark?
(09:58:16) (Raleigh) god this aint easy /
(09:58:27) (Raleigh) tx blu / :)
(09:58:33) (@gg) God never promised it would be easy, Ral.
(09:58:40) (Raleigh) right
(09:58:49) (~WalksInSpirit) Ral, my Dad told me that nothin worth doin is ever easy.
(09:58:59) (~Blu) you have to let go of the old before God can give you the new
(09:59:04) (Raleigh) :)
(09:59:19) (~WalksInSpirit) And God is with you and He'll help you.
(09:59:44) (@gg) I truly must have had a prior life as a native American, WIS. For so many of the adages you speak, I have heard before through my parents and dreams. :-)
(10:00:10) (~WalksInSpirit) Just remember... we have been made more than conquerors, through Christ Jesus. :-)
(10:00:28) (@gg) Either that or we knew each other before.
(10:00:45) (~WalksInSpirit) I felt that connection with you right off, Grandmother! That is why I called you Grandmother. :-)
(10:01:26) (@gg) Thank you, thank you, WalksInSpirit.
(10:01:47) (@gg) Are you ready now Mark?
(10:01:58) (~WalksInSpirit) Because that is a title that My People use to address a Wise Woman - Respected Elder.
(10:02:24) (~WalksInSpirit) And that is what you are, and have been many, many times. ;-)
(10:02:27) (MarkH) yes im ready
(10:02:37) (@gg) OK you're on.
(10:02:42) (MarkH) it's short
(10:03:02) (MarkH) If dreams are any indication of one's progress then I must be doing ok in getting to know our father,...I try and do the right things, I keep in mind that there is a portion of the father in them as in me,...I could apply more as in prayer and meditation ,..And I think that God is one koool dude
(10:03:52) (@gg) Yes, He IS one koool dude.
(10:03:59) (MarkH) :)
(10:03:59) (merri) I think so too mark!
(10:04:54) (@gg) Haven't heard much from you, Ron. Are you ready?
(10:04:57) (~WalksInSpirit) Yep, I think He is too!
(10:05:34) (ron) ok, I have something brief that came into my mind that may be appropriate...
(10:05:45) (MarkH) was i suppose to related a story in my life to the thought?
(10:05:48) (Raleigh) its the spirit prompting you mark---
(10:05:49) (MarkH) oops
(10:05:56) (@gg) Everything is appropiate, Ron.
(10:06:11) (Raleigh) to do that you know as far as your prayer and meditation /
(10:06:19) (ron) I remembered a converstion long ago, in my beginning days with the Cayce material...
(10:06:26) (@gg) If you wish to share it Mark. Absolutely. After ron is finished.
(10:06:38) (MarkH) that's ok
(10:07:00) (ron) This person was haveing a conversation with me. I remember her saying, "Many have god in their minds, but not in their hearts."....END
(10:07:26) (Raleigh) its the try that counts cayce said / not as others say / hmmm the try must be sincere ///
(10:07:43) (Raleigh) god sees your heart mark ///
(10:08:29) (Raleigh) geez im talkin to myself here / :)
(10:08:31) (Raleigh) lol
(10:08:43) (MarkH) lol thanks Ral
(10:08:50) (Raleigh) k
(10:09:36) (@gg) Thank you Ron. That is an extremely profound statement and a good one to remember.
(10:10:20) (@gg) Do you have anything further, Ron? I interrupted Mark when he wasn't finished and I wish not to interrupt you. :-)
(10:10:49) (ron) no, I don't...nothing more to say
(10:10:56) (ron) thank you
(10:11:19) (@gg) And thank you for sharing, Ron.
(10:11:26) (@gg) OK Mark, you are on.
(10:11:30) (MarkH) thanks everyone for shareing
(10:11:54) (MarkH) i was just checking GG for next time
(10:12:17) (@gg) Oh, you rascal, and here I was hoping to read an interesting story from you. lol
(10:12:20) (MarkH) i had no more to add
(10:15:27) (Mabel) I think the passage is saying that the proof is in the pudding so to speak. We need to Be what we Believe.
(10:16:12) (Mabel) sounds easy--but we all know it isn't.
(10:17:02) (@gg) Agreed. We are all one with God and He with us. Thank you. Wonderful words.
(10:17:20) (Raleigh) right to the point i see /
(10:17:50) (@gg) OK, big man. The floor belongs to you. Last, but certainly not least. GO !
(10:18:15) (~WalksInSpirit) Thank you Ma'am!
(10:18:25) (Raleigh) seat belts on!
(10:18:27) (Raleigh) :)
(10:18:51) (~WalksInSpirit) Well, yall all know about how I was in the tornado and had a very bad head injury, right?
(10:19:05) (Raleigh) wow / yes/
(10:20:15) (~WalksInSpirit) I lost a big portion of my memory, had to take months and months of physical therapy to learn to walk, talk, feed myself... all the little things we learned as small children that we take for granted.
(10:21:24) (~WalksInSpirit) Before that tornado, I was a pretty dadgum good guitar player, if I do say so myself. ;-) But since the twister, I had to relearn that, too.
(10:22:08) (~WalksInSpirit) It was that desire and love for music that God put in my heart that helped me to do it.
(10:22:54) (~WalksInSpirit) And now, I am back to maybe a bit better player than I was before the twister. Cause now, my focus and priorities are in the right places.
(10:23:39) (@gg) And I'll bet that right along with God's help there is a gal named Blu. :-)
(10:23:42) (~WalksInSpirit) I always try to be a channel of blessings to people - especially through my music.
(10:23:49) (~WalksInSpirit) Yes Ma'am!
(10:24:06) (~WalksInSpirit) She is my Angel
(10:24:11) (Raleigh) oyu have been a blessing to me in my life W
(10:24:32) (~WalksInSpirit) You are a blessing to me too, Ral!
(10:24:42) (Raleigh) a net in my fall /
(10:25:47) (~WalksInSpirit) But when all seemed lost, I kept my faith in God and He restored me not just to where I was, but better!
(10:26:00) (~WalksInSpirit) Just like Job
(10:26:16) (~WalksInSpirit) I never gave up
(10:26:25) (@gg) May I ask, WalksInSpirit, do you believe that that injury was something that needed to happen? A lesson to be learned even though it was a difficult road to journey?
(10:26:32) (~WalksInSpirit) And I never doubted Him
(10:26:51) (~WalksInSpirit) Prolly so, Grandmother.
(10:27:17) (~WalksInSpirit) God took a bad thing, and He used it for something real good.
(10:27:28) (@gg) And so did you.
(10:27:38) (~WalksInSpirit) Something that helped me and other people.
(10:28:16) (~WalksInSpirit) And I'd go through it all again tomorrow just to help one person.
(10:28:41) (@gg) God Bless you, WalksInSpirit.
(10:29:08) (merri) Cayce certainly puts it in perspective for us!
(10:29:21) (@gg) Doesn't he though.
(10:29:23) (~WalksInSpirit) Reminds me of a sayin... Don't tell God how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your God is!
(10:29:46) (merri) Koooool!
(10:29:47) (Raleigh) to know god is to apply that what is in our lives to help others /
(10:29:58) (~Blu) May I add something to WIS's story/
(10:30:09) (Raleigh) and yes W / i am 1 you met and helped /
(10:30:17) (@gg) A sad but beautiful story,Blu. Please do.
(10:31:20) (~Blu) When I met WIS death was a terrible thing to him. He had lost many of those he loved and he could not release the pain of it. Through the readings and his own experience, I think now he sees it as a door way, a part of life.
(10:31:37) (~WalksInSpirit) Yep
(10:31:57) (~WalksInSpirit) Blu helped me see this.
(10:32:00) (~Blu) In a way, he has over come it, and that is something that Jesus came to reveal to us
(10:32:11) (~WalksInSpirit) Like I said before, she is my Angel.
(10:32:15) (~WalksInSpirit) :-)
(10:32:16) (~Blu) death and resurrection
(10:32:48) (merri) I think Cayce did that for alot of us Blu
(10:33:02) (@gg) Physical death only with the spirit living eternally.
(10:33:34) (Raleigh) did you see what i asked today W? / over all my frinds family , counsel i come to you for advice / why is that?
(10:33:58) (Raleigh) cause i see the love you have / /
(10:34:11) (~WalksInSpirit) (((Ral)))
(10:34:18) (Raleigh) :)
(10:35:05) (~WalksInSpirit) Well, I genuinely do love people and love to help any way I can.
(10:35:18) (~WalksInSpirit) I mean, that's what it's all about.
(10:35:18) (MarkH) thanks Walks for shareing
(10:35:30) (~WalksInSpirit) that's why we're all here.
(10:35:34) (~WalksInSpirit) :-)
(10:35:39) (Raleigh) yup
(10:36:00) (Raleigh) 1 prayer suggested is others lord others /
(10:36:08) (merri) it's wonderful to see everyone's perspective on this simple quote
(10:36:09) (~WalksInSpirit) You're welcome, mark!
(10:36:38) (~WalksInSpirit) I love that one, Ral. So simple, yet so much weight to it.
(10:36:43) (Raleigh) hmmm / to know god is to apply / / paraphrase /
(10:37:00) (@gg) Thank you all for coming and Thank you all for sharing. And I guess next week Merri will be our host. Sweet Dreams. LOVE to all.
(10:37:17) (MarkH) Blessings GG
(10:37:17) (~WalksInSpirit) Night Blessings Grandmother! Love you! Thank you!

(09:56:52) (~Blu) I see a lot of growth in you
(09:57:11) (Raleigh) yes gg
(09:57:15) (~WalksInSpirit) Very cool, Ral!
(09:57:34) (Raleigh) :)
(09:57:57) (~Blu) A lot of people would have gone back to thier old bad habits, but you are not
(09:58:13) (@gg) Are you ready now, Mark?
(09:58:16) (Raleigh) god this aint easy /
(09:58:27) (Raleigh) tx blu / :)
(09:58:33) (@gg) God never promised it would be easy, Ral.
(09:58:40) (Raleigh) right
(09:58:49) (~WalksInSpirit) Ral, my Dad told me that nothin worth doin is ever easy.
(09:58:59) (~Blu) you have to let go of the old before God can give you the new
(09:59:04) (Raleigh) :)
(09:59:19) (~WalksInSpirit) And God is with you and He'll help you.
(09:59:44) (@gg) I truly must have had a prior life as a native American, WIS. For so many of the adages you speak, I have heard before through my parents and dreams. :-)
(10:00:10) (~WalksInSpirit) Just remember... we have been made more than conquerors, through Christ Jesus. :-)
(10:00:28) (@gg) Either that or we knew each other before.
(10:00:45) (~WalksInSpirit) I felt that connection with you right off, Grandmother! That is why I called you Grandmother. :-)
(10:01:26) (@gg) Thank you, thank you, WalksInSpirit.
(10:01:47) (@gg) Are you ready now Mark?
(10:01:58) (~WalksInSpirit) Because that is a title that My People use to address a Wise Woman - Respected Elder.
(10:02:24) (~WalksInSpirit) And that is what you are, and have been many, many times. ;-)
(10:02:27) (MarkH) yes im ready
(10:02:37) (@gg) OK you're on.
(10:02:42) (MarkH) it's short
(10:03:02) (MarkH) If dreams are any indication of one's progress then I must be doing ok in getting to know our father,...I try and do the right things, I keep in mind that there is a portion of the father in them as in me,...I could apply more as in prayer and meditation ,..And I think that God is one koool dude
(10:03:52) (@gg) Yes, He IS one koool dude.
(10:03:59) (MarkH) :)
(10:03:59) (merri) I think so too mark!
(10:04:54) (@gg) Haven't heard much from you, Ron. Are you ready?
(10:04:57) (~WalksInSpirit) Yep, I think He is too!
(10:05:34) (ron) ok, I have something brief that came into my mind that may be appropriate...
(10:05:45) (MarkH) was i suppose to related a story in my life to the thought?
(10:05:48) (Raleigh) its the spirit prompting you mark---
(10:05:49) (MarkH) oops
(10:05:56) (@gg) Everything is appropiate, Ron.
(10:06:11) (Raleigh) to do that you know as far as your prayer and meditation /
(10:06:19) (ron) I remembered a converstion long ago, in my beginning days with the Cayce material...
(10:06:26) (@gg) If you wish to share it Mark. Absolutely. After ron is finished.
(10:06:38) (MarkH) that's ok
(10:07:00) (ron) This person was haveing a conversation with me. I remember her saying, "Many have god in their minds, but not in their hearts."....END
(10:07:26) (Raleigh) its the try that counts cayce said / not as others say / hmmm the try must be sincere ///
(10:07:43) (Raleigh) god sees your heart mark ///
(10:08:29) (Raleigh) geez im talkin to myself here / :)
(10:08:31) (Raleigh) lol
(10:08:43) (MarkH) lol thanks Ral
(10:08:50) (Raleigh) k
(10:09:36) (@gg) Thank you Ron. That is an extremely profound statement and a good one to remember.
(10:10:20) (@gg) Do you have anything further, Ron? I interrupted Mark when he wasn't finished and I wish not to interrupt you. :-)
(10:10:49) (ron) no, I don't...nothing more to say
(10:10:56) (ron) thank you
(10:11:19) (@gg) And thank you for sharing, Ron.
(10:11:26) (@gg) OK Mark, you are on.
(10:11:30) (MarkH) thanks everyone for shareing
(10:11:54) (MarkH) i was just checking GG for next time
(10:12:17) (@gg) Oh, you rascal, and here I was hoping to read an interesting story from you. lol
(10:12:20) (MarkH) i had no more to add
(10:15:27) (Mabel) I think the passage is saying that the proof is in the pudding so to speak. We need to Be what we Believe.
(10:16:12) (Mabel) sounds easy--but we all know it isn't.
(10:17:02) (@gg) Agreed. We are all one with God and He with us. Thank you. Wonderful words.
(10:17:20) (Raleigh) right to the point i see /
(10:17:50) (@gg) OK, big man. The floor belongs to you. Last, but certainly not least. GO !
(10:18:15) (~WalksInSpirit) Thank you Ma'am!
(10:18:25) (Raleigh) seat belts on!
(10:18:27) (Raleigh) :)
(10:18:51) (~WalksInSpirit) Well, yall all know about how I was in the tornado and had a very bad head injury, right?
(10:19:05) (Raleigh) wow / yes/
(10:20:15) (~WalksInSpirit) I lost a big portion of my memory, had to take months and months of physical therapy to learn to walk, talk, feed myself... all the little things we learned as small children that we take for granted.
(10:21:24) (~WalksInSpirit) Before that tornado, I was a pretty dadgum good guitar player, if I do say so myself. ;-) But since the twister, I had to relearn that, too.
(10:22:08) (~WalksInSpirit) It was that desire and love for music that God put in my heart that helped me to do it.
(10:22:54) (~WalksInSpirit) And now, I am back to maybe a bit better player than I was before the twister. Cause now, my focus and priorities are in the right places.
(10:23:39) (@gg) And I'll bet that right along with God's help there is a gal named Blu. :-)
(10:23:42) (~WalksInSpirit) I always try to be a channel of blessings to people - especially through my music.
(10:23:49) (~WalksInSpirit) Yes Ma'am!
(10:24:06) (~WalksInSpirit) She is my Angel
(10:24:11) (Raleigh) oyu have been a blessing to me in my life W
(10:24:32) (~WalksInSpirit) You are a blessing to me too, Ral!
(10:24:42) (Raleigh) a net in my fall /
(10:25:47) (~WalksInSpirit) But when all seemed lost, I kept my faith in God and He restored me not just to where I was, but better!
(10:26:00) (~WalksInSpirit) Just like Job
(10:26:16) (~WalksInSpirit) I never gave up
(10:26:25) (@gg) May I ask, WalksInSpirit, do you believe that that injury was something that needed to happen? A lesson to be learned even though it was a difficult road to journey?
(10:26:32) (~WalksInSpirit) And I never doubted Him
(10:26:51) (~WalksInSpirit) Prolly so, Grandmother.
(10:27:17) (~WalksInSpirit) God took a bad thing, and He used it for something real good.
(10:27:28) (@gg) And so did you.
(10:27:38) (~WalksInSpirit) Something that helped me and other people.
(10:28:16) (~WalksInSpirit) And I'd go through it all again tomorrow just to help one person.
(10:28:41) (@gg) God Bless you, WalksInSpirit.
(10:29:08) (merri) Cayce certainly puts it in perspective for us!
(10:29:21) (@gg) Doesn't he though.
(10:29:23) (~WalksInSpirit) Reminds me of a sayin... Don't tell God how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your God is!
(10:29:46) (merri) Koooool!
(10:29:47) (Raleigh) to know god is to apply that what is in our lives to help others /
(10:29:58) (~Blu) May I add something to WIS's story/
(10:30:09) (Raleigh) and yes W / i am 1 you met and helped /
(10:30:17) (@gg) A sad but beautiful story,Blu. Please do.
(10:31:20) (~Blu) When I met WIS death was a terrible thing to him. He had lost many of those he loved and he could not release the pain of it. Through the readings and his own experience, I think now he sees it as a door way, a part of life.
(10:31:37) (~WalksInSpirit) Yep
(10:31:57) (~WalksInSpirit) Blu helped me see this.
(10:32:00) (~Blu) In a way, he has over come it, and that is something that Jesus came to reveal to us
(10:32:11) (~WalksInSpirit) Like I said before, she is my Angel.
(10:32:15) (~WalksInSpirit) :-)
(10:32:16) (~Blu) death and resurrection
(10:32:48) (merri) I think Cayce did that for alot of us Blu
(10:33:02) (@gg) Physical death only with the spirit living eternally.
(10:33:34) (Raleigh) did you see what i asked today W? / over all my frinds family , counsel i come to you for advice / why is that?
(10:33:58) (Raleigh) cause i see the love you have / /
(10:34:11) (~WalksInSpirit) (((Ral)))
(10:34:18) (Raleigh) :)
(10:35:05) (~WalksInSpirit) Well, I genuinely do love people and love to help any way I can.
(10:35:18) (~WalksInSpirit) I mean, that's what it's all about.
(10:35:18) (MarkH) thanks Walks for shareing
(10:35:30) (~WalksInSpirit) that's why we're all here.
(10:35:34) (~WalksInSpirit) :-)
(10:35:39) (Raleigh) yup
(10:36:00) (Raleigh) 1 prayer suggested is others lord others /
(10:36:08) (merri) it's wonderful to see everyone's perspective on this simple quote
(10:36:09) (~WalksInSpirit) You're welcome, mark!
(10:36:38) (~WalksInSpirit) I love that one, Ral. So simple, yet so much weight to it.
(10:36:43) (Raleigh) hmmm / to know god is to apply / / paraphrase /
(10:37:00) (@gg) Thank you all for coming and Thank you all for sharing. And I guess next week Merri will be our host. Sweet Dreams. LOVE to all.
