Members weary warrior Posted August 26, 2014 Members Share Posted August 26, 2014 New to the forum. Not really looking to debate, do not want to argue at all, just looking for some like-minded fellowship and encouragement, and the opportunity to hopefully return the encouragement. I tried another Baptist forum this week, and have quietly come over here instead. I look forward to meeting you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members weary warrior Posted August 28, 2014 Author Members Share Posted August 28, 2014 Welcome, weary! I understand that you were once a member of Ken Blue's church. I attended there as well for a short time, about 28 years ago. I was a student in the Bible Institute for about ... one semester. I actually took Bro. Blue's daughter bowling one day. I can't even remember the poor girl's name now, we were not what one would deem a compatible couple. I do remember that she was gracious and polite, but just being gracious and polite. Hillbilly though I was, I had enough brains to figure out that if I asked her out again, it would just be too cruel. One can only stretch politeness so far. When I got home and my roommate asked me where I had been, he was horrified at the answer. That I had the temerity and unmitigated gall to pull up to Pastor Ken Blue's house in the middle of the day, in my $150.00 1972 Buick Le Sabre, on a Saturday, and ask his daughter if she wanted to go bowling was beyond his comprehension. By the end of the semester I called my folks, said put on a pot of pinto beans and some cornbread, 'cause I'm coming home. These folks are just different .

When my hubby was considering colleges, he looked into Open Door, but it had already closed. Her name was Lisa. Small, small world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
