Thank you, Danielle. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it though. My Grandmother passed away today.

However, I must thank you for your well wishing.

wolfie,

I am so very sorry to hear about your grandmother. I will be thinking good things for you today, and if you will permit, I will say a prayer. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Thank you daniellejean,

A very Good Friday and Happy Easter to you also.

Another Easter showing of DeMille's "The Ten Commandments," whatever Moses has to do with Easter! I am going to an Easter dinner at a friend and art, and lighting client's home. However, we're skipping "The Ten Commandments" and watching "Vertigo" (they've never seen it!)

For Pete's sake, woman! Didn't you read the study that stated that hospital patients that were being prayed for consistently did worse than those that didn't? Do you want to kill me?

Sorry, I just thought I'd joke around to lighten my mood. You pray for me if you want to. If you feel you must, then feel free to do so. I don't want to hear or read your prayer, mind you. In fact, it was probably better if you didn't tell me you were praying for me.

The study I was talking about actually suggested that the stress of knowing (or at least, thinking that you know) that you're being prayed for makes things worse.

In summary, pray if you wish. I cannot stop you from doing so and it's not my place.

And a Happy Easter to you all.

We celebrate Easter as a time for family outings and egg hunts for the small ones. I always looked forward to it as a child and I want the grandkids to have a memorable time also.

Thanks daniellejean. I hope you have a wonderful Resurrection Day as well.

Everyone should know by now that announcing one is going to pray for someone is self-gratifying egotism. One is suppose to do it without broadcasting it. Not only to the person in question, but hardly on a public forum where their are other eyes to behold this fallacy in character.

I think at worst, Wolf, she is just trying to injure you.

Not from a Christian viewpoint it's not.

Christ Himself told His disciples 'I will pray for you' and 'I have prayed for you.'

The apostle Paul also frequently wrote to the churches that he was praying for them.

Moses and the prophets of the Old Testament said the same thing.

Perhaps from whatever religious background you are from it is considered inappropriate. But Momma Angel is a Christian and is fully within the practice of her faith in doing so.

Have a good weekend, Lightwiz.

Wolfie,

I have not said a prayer for you. I have gotten into the habit of asking someone first if they mind if I pray for them. If you prefer I don't then I won't. I have no problem with that whatsoever. Just know I am wishing peace and comfort for you and your family dear Wolfie.

Lightwizard,

I am sorry you felt you had to make that statement about me. Crying or Very sad

You obviously don't know anything about me and I can accept that. I have respect for others and their right to their beliefs. If someone doesn't want me to pray for them, then I don't. I ask if I can pray for them out of respect for them and what they believe.

Real Life is correct though. I am well within my rights and my beliefs to pray for whomever I wish. I asked Wolfie if I could pray for him because I felt comfortable asking him because he seems to understand me pretty well and knows that I would never do anything to intentionally hurt or offend him. And Wolfie knows that if he asks me not pray for him, then I won't.

Perhaps I should have asked Wolfie in a pm. I am sorry that I didn't handle it that way.

Read my post again. You'll see that I quite clearly stated that my preference is, "I don't really mind either way." You do what you feel you have to, MA. If you're the one that's praying, it's up to you to pray or not.

Have a Happy Easter. If that's not appropriate, have a pious one. If that's not appropriate still, have a lightbulb. Idea

Oh I understood you perfectly, Wolfie. It's one of the reasons I like you. You respect my rights as I respect yours.

Happy Easter is just fine! :wink:

Wrong. You are not Jesus, nor Paul, nor any of the prophets. If you think you are, you have a problem.

It is self-serving to report that you are doing a good deed or telling an individual you are praying for them.

Hope nobody is planning on doing their own resurrection this Sunday.
Just have a nice Easter.

Lightwizard,

Christians are to emulate Christ. If He did it, then it's something we should do. And before you say it, God resurrected Christ. Guess you missed it ~ I didn't say I was praying for Wolfie! I asked Wolfie if I could. And since Wolfie did not say yes, please do. I didn't out of respect for him, even though he told me to do so if I wanted to.

If you are going to accuse someone of something, LW, please make sure you have your facts straight.

Like I said, I should have asked Wolfie in a PM and you can for sure count on the fact that is how I will handle this particular question from now on.

Please forgive me for saying this though, I don't think even that will be enough for you. I may be wrong about that though.

Perhaps in your religion (whatever that might be) it is. But not according to the Bible, which is the standard that Christians use.

Goodnight, Lightwiz. Hope you have a good Easter too.

Yes, Happy Easter, and I look forward to the day when I see MA or RL emulating Christ and walking on water.
