Independent Fundamental Baptist John81 7,400 Posted March 17, 2006 Independent Fundamental Baptist Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Death can be very difficult to deal with, especially when it's someone we are very close with. There really is no way to prepare, beyond asking the Lord to give you strength and help you through it, but emotionally, there is little you can do. I pray the Lord will help you through this difficult time. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

Chelle 1 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 :mrgreen: I knew I "heard" my name. :mrgreen: My job right now is very temporary. The company is looking for a full-time receptionist, and that isn't my forté. I'm more of a back-office type of person -- working with spreadsheets, presentations, databases and word processors. Heavy phone work isn't something I go out of my way to find. But it's a job, it helps to pay the bills, and it gets me out of the house all day so I'm not tempted to eat junk. I don't think they'll keep me very much longer because they have to pay the agency and the agency pays me ($9.00 per hour). It's close to home, though, which I like. It takes me between 15-20 minutes to get there. I am becoming more comfortable and confident about answering the phone and paging people on the intercom system -- and the fact that I can have free frozen fruit slushes anytime I want doesn't hurt either. :mrgreen: I don't think I'll be there past this Friday, but that's OK with me. It's not what I want to do but it meets our needs for now. Anyway, that's what's going on with me these days. :mrgreen: Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

It cost $24 dollars just to walk through the door! Oh, and gas prices are now well over $2.50 a gallon so it cost $28.00 to fill my car up today!

Independent Fundamental Baptist LindaR 649 Posted March 21, 2006 Independent Fundamental Baptist Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Isn't that the truth, John!! I have a dental appt. coming up on April 6th--no dental insurance and my husband and I live on SS disability. The dental work I need done is going to cost $500--we are totally depending on God's provision because we see no other way of coming up with that money--and they require payment in 2 payments--half now and the other half three weeks later. No credit cards are accepted (we don't use them either). Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

Advanced Member chev1958 20 Posted March 21, 2006 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 It does seem that way.

I'm in an online Bible study and we just finished studying chapter 21 of Revelation and how awesome heaven is going to be--words cannot truly describe its beauty. But chapter 20 ends with the reality that the lost will end up in the Lake of Fire and will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
