Great article, Helena! I have named my house Obed-Edom because when I was about to move in, I read how "The Lord blessed his house and everything in it" I thought - yes, please Lord - that's for me!

A dear friend of mine, one I admired as being one-on-one with God and very prophetic, ect., etc., decided he 'needed a rest' from church. That was 2 years ago. I keep in touch with him because I l...

Low ceilings do tend to constrain one, don'y they? Not much you can do about it except, as Helena says, use more appropriate gear like ribbons. What about glory hoops? I have a stunner that was gifted...

Wow! More excellent info! Is there no end to it? <IMG content="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b286/flagady15/smilies/yahoo.gif">[Image: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b286/f.../yahoo.gif]

I think it's a wonderful tradition and all the more wonderful for all the painfully shy little ones who have to be prompted, the shepherd who ends up facing the wrong way, the Herod who gets his beard...

I've obviously not been browsing this forum enough as I quite missed this thread. I think, Tina, that you've raised some very important questions, some of which Margolit has very eloquently addressed ...

Oh, Margolit - that it so beautiful! I was almost in tears reading it and could feel the abandonment of the dance and rhythm of the music - just beautiful!!

They do look lovely - but sadly, I'd roast in something like that! After 40 minutes fast flagging with our band, I'm frequently soaked as it is! Also, our pastor's wife has this thing about having ...

Yep, know just where you're coming from in that one, Helena. It's quite a challenge - do I, don't I? My answer is a little easier as it's flags I sell and not something somebody's actually going to we...

Glad to hear it's helped!! It was one of those God inspirational things!!

That all sounds really good! I was interested in the shofar stuff. I'm trying to find other women who have/are using a shofar. Was there any at this conference or were the shofar blowers all male? ...

Amen to that!<IMG content="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b286/flagady15/smilies/blow.gif">[Image: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b286/f...s/blow.gif]<IMG content="http://i21.photobucke...

Helena, I'm so sad I never saw these before this. They would actually be quite funny except there's many a true word.......

Yes, know what you mean - this kind of mentality..... (note arms upraised in worship!) <IMG content="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b286/flagady15/gifs%20and%20stuff/inhammock-1.gif"&g...

Thought you'd like it!

I got my shofar from him! Good man! He sent me a very nice instrument (as far as I'm qualified to say as much!) Welcome sknoerr! nice to have you with us! **trots off to look at the websit...

For a long time I belonged to various Anglican churches and found the tight, traditional services very constraining. There was a "Common Book of Prayer" with every service form laid out and adhered to...

Yes, really tough that! The people who don't run away from conflict are, more often than not, the ones who engeander it while others run away! I'm definitely a runner! And I have BIG problems with aut...

Shouldn't skip on the HD though! That's weird! BTW, Helena, did you get my email about the buttons? About 4-5 days ago?

I think it is really, really lovely! And what a labour for you - can't thank you enough. I think it's a lot clearer than it used to be. Thank you so much.

That's an interesting post, DeanZF. Only a few weeks ago I was talking to our worship leader and he shook me by saying that very thing! That all the people who work the sound desk, do the OHP, and...

Oh, he's definitely sensitive to that, Dean. When we started using "Open The Eyes Of My heart, Lord" - which concludes with "Holy, holy, holy, Holy, holy, holy, Holy, holy, holy, I want to see ...

Interesting topic here, folks! I got my shofar over the internet as I knew NOTHing about wind instruments and what you've said, Dean, makes me realise I really wasn't buying wisely! However, I got a ...

Hi, FTS. Nice to meet you. Look forward to seeing you around.

Yes - I missed that! Sounds interesting in the extreme!
