Yes it can sometimes be a bit difficult to catch us upside-down Down Under people - but then again it's the same for us in reverse! We're asleep when you're awake and vice versa! Did God really have to make it like THAT? *hmm...*

Praying, and hoping things are going well with the family. Lotsa love!

P.S. Still dunno where everyone's gone (tho Robin's probly buried in her study books). At the moment every time I speak here in the Inner Room my voice echoes all round the place - cos it's so EMPTY!!! *tries to laugh, but that echoes as well...* *still lonely, sob*

Oh, Bondman, thank you for reminding me about checking scripture for myself. I always did that before. I think I was just so glad to be helped in a deliverance ministry that I ended up trusting everything that was said instead of being cautious. I will have to revise this author's list I guess. Hope it will still be uplifting.

We leave on our trip on Sunday for London. I will be able to study a lot because we will be doing a lot of waiting around for flights. I will make my list then. I wish I had a laptop, but, I will probably be able to find a computer on the bases and can print my list out then.

Don't be lonely, Bond (James Bond) Be happy and visit some of the new posts while you can. Again, thanx for pointing me in the right direction. Bonnie

You're SO welcome, sweetie! I've figured for years that I may as well share with as many as I can how to avoid all the traps that I fell into over a long long period!! Oh man...

You're travelling, wow! 'James Bond' *hee!* is gonna miss you like crazy then, isn't he!! *can't bear to think about it...*

On most other forums I've been on I would go to various threads. What then happens is that I read - then can't help myself, and have to post! Then I have to go back to read responses of course. This then builds up until soon I'm just about full-time on that (or those) threads!

If I started doing this now, then The Inner Room would be totally empty in about a month flat: I'd not have time to be here, and others would then drift away. That is, I have to resolutely FOCUS on the ministry He's called me to - and I can tell you that I do NOT find that easy! I LONG to visit other threads, but cannot!

I think I underestimate the experience you guys have with your advice and the things you've seen and the places you've been in your lives. I thank you so very much for sharing your wisdom.

Goodness you're up late, sweetie!

We ALWAYS behave ourselves - thought you'd have realised that by now!! *hahah* Talking behind backs is verbotenin The IR so you're safe on that one! lol

How long are you flitting off for?

Hmm... yes, I spose there are some who would say that they've 'been there done that' as Believers! What tends to shock me tho, Mark, is how long I've taken to get to see and understand many, many Spiritual things. Sure, I HAVE had to do it all on my own these 50 long years, because of the fact that not at any point in my life have I had a Pastor or Minister who was further ahead in his Christian life than I was - to be able to teach me how to go further. Which is rather shocking when you think of it, hey!

So for poor ole BM it's always been 'pull meself up by me own bootstraps' - and that's sure been HARD! But good at the same time. Two ways you learn things GOOD! - if you have to learn it the HARD way you've usually got it forever! If you have to learn it by yourself, when you finally DO get there, then you've got it forever!

So I'm not complaining! What excites me out of my brain is where I AM now in Jesus by and because of God's grace and help. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined living the Christian life with joy and peace and love and hope like I now do! GOD IS SO GOOD!!

Love ya, man. You can grow to a place of Spiritual maturity in Christ into your future. Look forward to it, work toward it, seek for more and more of Him, be prepared to ENDURE the hardships necessary to get there - and this CAN happen for you!!

- BM
