Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
A long time ago, the Lord rode into a city, seated on a donkey, and he was cheered into the city, palms layed across the road, like a carpet for royalty. And so the remembrance of the Lord's Passion begins. We know where it led to. The same people cheering for HIM, in less than a week, cheered on his crucifixion. Historians said that they expected him to ride into Jerusalem and over throw the Romans, and when that did not happen, they turned on him. They crowned him with thorns. Christ knew where he was going, he knew that the revolution he sought was one of the heart and consciousness, he knew that worldly things such as political rule were of little consequence in the big picture, in the Universal picture. The Temple fell, Rome fell, in it's place though, a powerful movement of the soul for millions and millions of humble people happened, leading to eternal dwelling with God in Glory. If you have Jesus, and believe in his resurrection, and follow him, you have all the power you need. Everything else is just pocket change. This is Holy Week, and we follow him to the Cross. God Bless.
This is beautiful, thank you. 🙏🏻
Love this! I was stressing about what I need to buy in case we go dark in the very near future. Not stressing anymore, my daughter, s-il, myself and hubby are getting what we need. I've been telling myself for several days, he will provide.
Thank you for writing this. 🙏
