Dear God,

[RevCheesehead]

I'm sorry that I've resorted to writing this as a public letter, but please hear me out.

You've got to do something. There are way too many good people here in this group who are suffering. Some of us have lost loved ones. Some of us have lost our beloved pets. Some of us have lost, or are about to lose our jobs. Some of us are just plain discouraged about our life, our nation, and the world around us.

We need help, please.

Shower us with your blessings, and lift us up. Give us hope for the future, and belief in ourselves and our abilities. Heal our wounds and our broken hearts. Give us a fighting spirit like Wolvie's, to be determined to do the right thing and stand up for others. And help us to bring healing to our world.

Give Keith a safe trip home, and a fresh dose of snark.

Fill us with humor and love, and help us to share the blessings that we do have with others.

Thanks for listening.
RevCheese

1. Thanks, Rev

Amen to that! You made me cry, though. If there's so much suffering in our little group, imagine how much there is in the world as a whole. We're just a tiny microcosm.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

4. A wise person once told me that tears are a good thing...

...because they remind us of how much we care. :hug:

And yeah, there's a LOT of hurt out there. :(

[SeattleGirl]

2. Thank you, Rev

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

5. You're more than welcome.

PM me if ya need a friend. I'll try to check in during the day if I can. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

3. Thanks, Rev.

You are truly heaven sent! :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

6. You're welcome, my friend.

You know what verse keeps running through my mind? "The stone, which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone."

No, I'm not claiming to be the messiah, but I know that God has called me. Perhaps not to this conference, or denomination, but I am called. I just have to believe that God will show me the way.

Still praying for ya, sweetie. :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

7. Amen.

It has to be time for a lot of good news, no?

Thanks, Rev. That was lovely. :hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

8. Hi, Patsy!

I totally agree. Let's get ready for a thunderstorm of blessings!

We missed you tonight. :hug::loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

9. Missed you, too.

Haven't really had much of a chance to DU these past few days; work is taking up way too much of my time.

[RevCheesehead]

15. Yeah, I'll add that "too much time at work" thing to the list.

Because we need you here! :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

10. Amen.

Thanks be to God and thank you Rev. We needed that.:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

16. I'm so glad you and Cassie are part of our group!

You have brought a fresh, happy perspective to us... and we all care about what Cassie's going through, too. :hug:

[Greylyn58]

11. Amen Rev!

A big Amen from both me and Sheridan.

[RevCheesehead]

17. Greylyn!

I've been thinking about you lately (all good, of course!).
What a beautiful pic of Sheridan! He looks so happy and healthy!!!

God, especially watch over Sheridan. We need him! :hug:

[WolverineDG]

12. Aw Rev

:hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

18. Back atcha.

:hug::loveya:

And special prayers for our off-topic topics, too. :P

[CC]

13. Amen

Hang in there Rev. I have been worried about you and all you are going through so still sending vibes and prayers your way.

[RevCheesehead]

19. Thanks so much, Ferretessa!

Your prayers mean a lot to me too. :hug:

God, keep the zoo crew safe and healthy. Their work here isn't done yet.

[RavensChick]

14. Let the church say AMEN!

Thanks, Rev. I'm so thankful to see that I'm not the only one praying this way. My prayer list is very extensive these days, but He knows. That's why the three omni's are critical to any student of the Bible, no matter what denomination they're in. He sees all, knows all, and hears all!

Every news report I read and see on TV is getting very depressing these days, but I know one thing for certain--this too shall pass!

God Bless You, my sister!!

RC

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

20. Thanks, RC!

Sometimes it all gets so discouraging, and we need to be reminded that no matter what, better days are still ahead. Your prayers mean the world to me! :hug:

[Berry Cool]

21. And that gets a big AMEN from the congregation!

:loveya: Rev.

[RevCheesehead]

22. Remain positive, sweetie.

Because your perfect job is out there, waiting for you. Trust it, and believe it. :hug:

[Botany]

23. And blessed is she who comes in the name of the Lord

BTW Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?
