Re: hello

I'm back (again!) It's been a long time since I posted in here.... Lots of things have changed in my life since I last posted...

My mom died in 2017 and I'm helping my dad out after he had several surgeries.... That's the biggest change. Will have to post more in here.

Re: Female COC preacher

I thought it was very interesting. How many cofc women through the years have missed their "calling" as preachers, teachers, or ministers because they weren't permitted to speak? I would guess thousands through the years. In one cofc church I attended, decades ago, there women who were fa...

Re: I was wondering when this would happen.

That's crazy! No social distancing and impossible to do the 5 acts of worship if you're watching online in your house.

Re: Oh, golly

And while the rest of us in Pennsylvania and the entire Mid-Atlantic region finally dug out from this weekend's blizzard that topped the one we had 20 years ago, I found out today that the coc I attended near my house actually still had their service at 2:00 or 2:30 pm this afternoon.
