  1. Very scary. The ocean is the sharks home. When humans enter the sharks home, sadly there will be attacks. It will be wonderful when we can swim in the ocean peacefully with the sharks.
  2. Last day of Convention. It has been amazing. So much to meditate and reflect on and many things to work on.

      Adelin, the actor actually did pretty well in some scenes. Some scenes just weren't well directed, I think.

      One thing I learnt is do NOT even speak to the highwayman opponents lying in wait in front of the assembly. Do not even say you're not interested. Ignore them. And whatever you do, do not begin to debate with them. They are experts at interrupting you and not listening to a word you say.

      I don't know exactly which is the cause and I don't wanna say it was not great - i really enjoyed it ... but, from the perspective of our last dvds, I just feel they can make a much more glorious thing - maybe they wanted to let that for the coming movie :) ;)

  3. My mother is in a nursing home. It's not the worst, but it's not the greatest either. The people who work there are nice and they seem to care, sadly, there is just not enough staff to keep up with the work. They do what they can, but they seriously need help.
  4. Convention tomorrow!!!! Very excited, so hard waiting. It's finally here!!!

      Not plenty - but I know I cried during one particular part (and I cry easy) that was shown several times. Each time, it really touched my heart.

      Same here...ours is July 31-Aug. 2 Located at the Denton,Texas Assembly Hall..Looking forward with anticipation

  5. So many movies, hard to make a favorite list Gone With The Wind Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Carousel South Pacific Quiet Man Magnificent Seven Arsenic and Old Lace Casablanca The Maltese Falcon The African Queen Key Largo The Shootist McLintock It Happened One Night Yours Mine and Ours Invitation The King and I Ten Commandments The Buccaneer I could go on and on, lol. I love old movies
  6. I am a great cook and I know my way around the kitchen. Always learning more though. Sadly, last couple of years I find that I am having less time to cook the way I want too. Just don't have as much time to make elaborate meals or learn new recipes. Kids are older too now and have lives and it's hard for all of us to be at home the same time to sit down for a meal. Yesterday I got home from work at 2 pm and my husband just left for his shift, my son was at the convention site til 8 pm and my daughter was in Cambodian Service til 9 pm. This is becoming more and more the norm around my home, hence less family meals.
  7. I think it may be more of feelings from local bodies of elders. Personally, I think this sounds like fun. Graduation Party and everyone dressing up in the '50s. There was an '80's party down here couple years back for the young ones and no one frowned. There was also a formal dance for the young ones where boys wore suits and girls wore dresses like prom dresses. I think a theme like you are having is a tad different from just announcing "costume party". At a costume party, who knows what someone may dress as and how it may offend another brother/sisters. '50's clothes though shouldn't offend anyone.
  8. I work in the field for my company visiting clients, so I am on my phone all day answering emails, text, phone, checking status on our company website. Then I have my kids texting me non stop through out the day, or my husband, all of them asking, "can I go here", "have you seen my_____", "won't be home for dinner", lol. So the last thing I want to do before bed is look at my phone.
  9. I agree, I am dying to swim with dolphins and whales. Think it would be just incredible.
  10. If on any given day you can count how many times you prayed to Jehovah, you are not praying enough.

  11. So much going on with my congregation, so much going on in my life, decisions need to be made, not sure what Jehovah is asking, just have to keep praying and waiting for an answer. Very confused at this time about many things.

      One of the things Jehovah loves in us is endurance. So he must be very pleased with you Ava. Very.

      Try not to get overwhelmed. You are doing all the right things and the time is short.

  13. What is interesting is I was watching the news a little while ago and they were speaking to someone who helped with the case getting to the Supreme Court and this person said something interesting. She said "our fight is just starting. We now have to work on getting religious institutions to accept this law and not deny services like baking a cake for a gay wedding or performing a gay wedding in their church. This ruling is wonderful, but it's just the beginning, much more work is needed" So right now, the laws still protect religious freedom, but yet, how long before that is challenged? I saw some comments where ones were saying "next, down with organized religion" "take away tax exempt status from the churches" Definitely interesting turn of events.
  14. It is just a continued theme we are seeing, more and more are turning from religion. I was reading a blog post where so many people were commenting about "christian fanatics". The more and more we see of things like this, the more and more people turning against religion in general and looking at religious people as the ones who are wrong or fanatics or odd or strange, etc.
