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 evolving
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
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

I did, I know you did, you are almost as crazy as me. Hubby and I bought everyone gag gifts and out did his sister the queen of gag gifts. We gave ourselves gag gifts to throw every one off. It’s nice being part of a family that can laugh instead of complaining and fighting. The most important part is Jesus and the children. It’s been cool seeing it through her little eyes. Amen, Santa & Jesus have been her most popular words last month (going to church so she’s got Amen down).
That’s so sweet. Depending on what kind of church it is, she will raising little hands and shouting. 😉
She’s been doing prayer hands and saying Amen, it’s so cute. It’s non denominational, I think the music is modern, not sure. I used to go to a southern Baptist church that was modern and traditional. They started with praise songs, had a band & choir. The choir did a song and ended with traditional call to alter old hymn. I heard they don’t have a choir now. I don’t care for choir music but this choir was good and several older ladies were more like a black church than a southern baptist white church. It was fun. Nothing against black churches! I love how they worship. People did praise hands and I loved it. I stopped when I got bad chronic pain and then the really good pastor left. I learned more from him in three years than I did at any other church, plus the Sunday teacher was amazing.
My girls were born into the Pentecostal church so they would raise their hands, and shout and dance around. 🥰
One southern Baptist church I went to people raised their hands, including me. It was very different from the other southern Baptist church I attended, they might kick you out for that. I joined and was baptized there. Then when they fired the preacher when they found out about his affair way before he came I left. His wife knew and had forgiven him. Should have known, hubby said they wouldn’t let a man join because he sold beer at his convenience mart. I have a big issue with humans judging people. It’s not nobody is sin free.
