When will our division's BS21? Does any one know?

 

Comment by Willsmom on June 22, 2011 at 7:25pm
Never mind, Rackie, I figured it out!  DUH!!!!  Thank you, anyway for offering.  I know you have so much going on with your own stuff, it was nice of you.
Comment by Willsmom on June 22, 2011 at 6:49pm
Rackie: appreciate it! Just ask them if a temporary photo ID is acceptable. My husband has no licence, as his eyes were severely burned in a chemical accident at work, so he just has and ID. The address on his old one wasn't updated. I still do have that one, though, as well as the temporary paper photo ID they issued until the new permanent one comes in. Thanks!

Willsmom:  would you like me to ask the question for you? Please post what I should ask them here..

Tickled: God  has chosen you even before you were born.. you have a purpose..

Comment by Willsmom on June 22, 2011 at 4:56pm
Tickled...I sure hope they get it to us quickly!  Embarrassed to post this, but how in the world do you ask a question on RTC fb page???  I can't find anywhere to click, type or do anything else!!!  (my face is red)  lol....
Comment by TickledTink on June 22, 2011 at 4:52pm
PS- they might be able to get the ID to you before PIR.  When my license expired, it said it could take up to 60 days, but I got it about a week later, in time before I had to fly to TX.

Willsmom- I also survived a house fire.  It was in Oct of 06, I lived with my aunt and uncle and cousins at the time.  Uncle was on a hunting trip, Aunt was still at work (she worked on the TV show Veronica Mars at the time) it was just me and my 3 cousins home, fire started just before 3 AM.  Thank God one of my cousins was still awake, the fire alarm did NOT go off.  They had a 100 yr old house, mostly wood.  Went up VERY quickly.  Fire Chief said was fully engulfed in 9 min.  I was last one out, had to crawl through floor to ceiling smoke in kitchen to get out (did not have windows that opened in my bedroom) took me about 7 min.  One of my cousins had to jump off the roof of the first floor!  Fire Chief said since fire originated in center of house and where the main exit was (living room) that we should have all died.  Aside from some smoke inhalation, we were all ok.  4 of the 5 dogs were, too, but sadly my Aunt's champion show dog Dalmatian didn't make it. :(  God was definitely with me that night, I was very lucky to not have passed out and died in the kitchen.

 

Prayer is definitely powerful!  My sister and I both prayed before trivia, and God granted me the win!  He has been so good to me and to hubby lately!

Thank you so much for your support!

Is it really possible to pray without ceasing, and to give thanks in all circumstances? Most of us can probably think of situations in which it would be very difficult to praise God; but the Bible teaches us that through Christ, it is possible to maintain a spirit of praise and thankfulness in even the most trying circumstances.

 "Rejoice always, pray continually,  give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)

God bless!! Prayers to each and everyone of us and our families!
