Members Chelle Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 I've gone through 3 different screen names on this board including the one I have now. I started out as Tigerlily, then changed to Goldberry (after a minor character in Tolkien's [u]Lord of the Rings[/u] book, not the movie), and now I'm just plain ol' Chelle. :D As one of my friends would say: "K.I.S." (Keep it simple) :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LindaR Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 There really isn't anything special about my name--Linda is my name and R is the first letter of my last name. So, therefore, instead of using a number after my name, like I do on another forum, I just use the first letter of my last name--ergo: LindaR. I use "sheina maidle" in another chat program--that is Hebrew for "pretty girl". I am a born again, blood washed Jewish believer in Jesus Christ. I also use the nic "emeilia_rose" in the Fundamental Baptist forum--those two nics are the middle names of my 2 granddaughters in California. I am "Linda64" on the Baptist Board too. And believe it or not, I always know who I am, wherever I go :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted February 10, 2006 Members Share Posted February 10, 2006 That's interesting Linda. Do you ever have any trouble from unsaved Jews? I've known of a few saved Jews that some Orthodox Jews really treated horribly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LindaR Posted March 2, 2006 Members Share Posted March 2, 2006 [quote="John81"] That's interesting Linda. Do you ever have any trouble from unsaved Jews? I've known of a few saved Jews that some Orthodox Jews really treated horribly. [/quote] I sure have--my family. I am the only one in my immediate family who is saved. Both my parents passed away unsaved :( I was blessed to have a very special "gentile" lady witness to me 32 years ago. I have been saved 32 years today.

Members Jesuspaiditall4all Posted March 2, 2006 Members Share Posted March 2, 2006 Happy 32nd Birthday Linda.....your spiritual birthday that is... :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted March 2, 2006 Members Share Posted March 2, 2006 It's such a shame we can't always reach our families. In fact, it seems to be very difficult. I've read of other Christians who have had their Christian friends witness to their families and they would witness to their friends families because families tend to be more open to non-family members on such matters. Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS on your spiritual birthday! Praise and glory be to God! I'm pleased to have you as one of my many sisters in Christ.

Members John81 Posted March 2, 2006 Members Share Posted March 2, 2006 It's been known to work for some. I recall Jesus being unable to work any miracles in His home area because the people didn't want to listen to Him because they looked at Him as "just the carpenters son". Many families are the same way. They have automatic blocks that pop up between them and what some family members have to say about Christ.

Members SarahStrawberry Posted March 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2006 There's actually a verse that talks about that!Of course I can't remember it right now but I'll ask my mom when I get home.When she first showed me I thought that was so neat.That the Lord knew and actually wrote about it in the Bible!You know?

Members John81 Posted March 7, 2006 Members Share Posted March 7, 2006 When I was a new Christian and really got into reading the Word I was amazed at what I found in there! It's so great that God knew just exactly what to put in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
