Have any of you dedicated a day for prayer and spend the day in the presence of the Lord?

I am doing just such a thing on Monday. I felt a need to request the day off last Wednesday, and did so. That night, in reading an article in Pray! magazine, the writing was talking about taking a pray day each month, or at least each quarter. Immediately, I knew that was what I was to do with my day on Monday.

So, I will packing a light lunch, some water, my prayer notebook and Bible, and head out to Weedon Island for some quiet time in His creation with God. The enemy already tried to attack the day, having a mess start at work at the last minute on Friday, and I was considering going in, until I realized that I legitimately have the day off. By changing my plan, I would be putting work, the world, before God. The work can wait one day. God must be first.

So, have any of you taken a day for prayer? Or attended a prayer retreat?

God bless.

Can anyone quote scripture to me which refutes the rapture or refutes the non-rapture theory? I don't want evidence to support either theory but rather evidence which refutes the opposite theory.

I am still in a little bit of a quandry on this and am seeking the truth. I have read the scriptures myself but would like a little explanation which could clear my mind.

hey, can someone translate this song from Vanilla Sky for me? I know there is an English version also, but it's probably not the same translation. if you don't have time too translate the whole thing, then just the chorus is fine the (6 come 6) part.
thanks!

Ho perso e non so perchè
a volte la mia vita va da se
vorrei non pensarci più
ma tutto quel che ho dato torna su
è proprio km stare
in bilico tra terra ferma e mare

ho perso l’identità
cercando di fuggire la realtà
per salvarmi è tardi ormai
ma il tempo passa sempre prima o poi
e a costo di non capire
io questa notte me ne voglio andare

"6 come 6 non conta ciò che vuoi
do ancora una chance alla vita che vorrei
io sto impazzendo
do ancora una chance alla vita che vorrei
ma sto impazzendo"

Disperso tra le realtà
non ha più senso la verità
ho toccato il fondo ormai
non mi interessa più quello che vuoi
adesso è come stare
in una stanza buia in mezzo al ma

Any thoughts on the upcoming season? I would not want to shamelessly ask for a star for reaching level three without at least gaining some spiritual insight for and from thoughtful people. Or more directly asked, Can I have a star and a Christmas story for reaching level three?

I'm black myself but my friend wanted me to ask a question on yahoo .


I notice alot of black and latinos have very nice figures.

their figures are like that hour glass shaped, everything correct everything in the right place blacks and latinos legs tend to be longer, butts bigger, have smaller waists,etc.

even when they are fat they breast tends to be bigger and their butts larger when they are skinny they still have curves (you know like jessica alba but with a booty and breast)

yeah there are a few black american women who don't have this body type but i recently went to Nigeria and EVERY woman there had a nice body like omg

anyways my real question is why do alot men prefer woman who have "the hour glass figure"? is there any other man out there who likes flat chested girls or girls with short stocky legs?

and why do black and latino women have such nice curves!"

today is my 19th birthday and I don't have any friends availiable to hang out with tonight or a car, and I don't want to spend my b-day alone, I already spent one in the hospital.
so I was wondering if I should call a cab to drop me off at this new big club that opened in my area, like 10mls away (I live in an outskirt area) and the cab service I called, there's very few in the area (Louisiana) and the one I called is $2 a mile and I have $22 in my wallet and $750 stashed away to save for my car, but the cab serviceis only open so late. and I won't have a way back, but I know how to go some where by myself and have fun and meet ppl, and I have ALOT of aquaintances, and it's the hottest club in this area so bound to see someone, and I'm single and hot so I plan on talking to guys, and if I find a guy I like that I'll be talking to most of the nigh he'll probably ask and offer a ride home, so %85 chance of getting home without calling my grandmaw (57) to come get me, should I?

You can buy milk when it is on sale, stock up and save on trips to the grocery store. I was not sure about this and called the Dairy Association and it is alright, they just said to use it within three months of the date you froze it. I simply buy it in plastic jugs and pour a little out of the jug to give some room for expansion, so the jug will not burst when frozen.
Now it will look yellow when frozen, but let it defrost in the frig and it will thaw and look white again. I will buy extra for Christmas, for my families visit.

Religions and cultures that deny women and gay people basic equality, or exploit and abuse them, are, as far as I am concerned, a bad thing. I don’t feel the slightest obligation to respect them.
