Almie Rose by Michelle Lawrence It was at least two months before Christmas, when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father an me that she wanted a new bicycle. Her old Barbie bicycle was just too babyish, and besides, it needed a new tire. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade - or so we thought, as she didn't mention it again. Merrily, we started purchasing the latest rage - Baby-Sitter's Club dolls - and beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. The, much to our surprise, on December 23rd she proudly announced that she "really wanted a bike more than anything else." Now we didn't know what to do. It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts, to take the time to select the "right bike" for our little girl. So here we were - Christmas Eve around 9:0 pm, having just returned from a wonderful party, contemplating our evening ahead - hours of wrapping children's presents, parent's presents, a brother's presents and friends' presents. With Almie Rose and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, nestled snug in their beds, we could now think only of the bicycle, the guilt and the idea that we were parents who would disappoint their child. That"s when my husband, Ron, was inspired. "What if I make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?" The theory, of course, being that since this is a high-ticket item and she is "such a big girl" it would be much better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next five hours painstakingly working with clay to create a miniature bike. Three hours later, on Christmas morning, we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened and read the note aloud. She looked at me and then at Ron and said,"So, does this mean that I trade in the bike that Daddy made me for a real one?" Beaming, I said, "Yes". Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, "I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I'd rather keep this than get a real bike." At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!

I have been gone for a few days on a church outing and checked my Juno mail.....340 messages. Alot of these are oneliners saying "testing system" Or just a Good Morning. This is time consuming and ridiculus. I agree with Opus when she says send out pertinent information. Having a mailbox bogged down with useless information is hard. Please be considerate of EVERYONE when sending mail. With "junk" mail like some of these are I can see why some have chosen to drop from the group. suz

try this <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/6358/">Errand of A ngels</A> if it dont work let me know pam

I have reason to believe that you are a brother or sister in Jesus Christ our Lord. If I am wrong or for some reason you do not chose to read the rest of this message, then may the peace of the Lord be with you and I hope you have a beautiful day. This is a one time mailing, so there is no need to ask me to remove you from a list because there is no list. My name is James and I am proud to say I am a follower of Jesus Christ and his Holy Word, the Gospels of the Lord and the Scriptures. Those gospels in the words of Jesus Christ say, �Go ye into the all the world and preach the gospel to every creature� - Mark 16:15. I have until now, never had a calling to do that, perhaps because I have never had a vehicle to do so. Now the Lord has presented me with a new way to reach others with the joy and wonder of our Lord�s good news. That way is the internet! My idea is simple, it utilizes my love of reading the Gospels and writing, to reach out and touch others through the inspiration of the Lord�s message and love. Each day I write a devotional prayer, along with a Biblical reading and a short discussion of that reading. I share those inspirational writings daily early in the morning with brothers and sisters in Christ. With your help I will be able to reach thousands and thousands with our Lords words and with his wonderful promise of being saved through his grace. There is no obligation just send me an e-mail request asking to be placed on the daily devotional list. You will immediately begin to receive your daily devotionals. There is no charge to you, THEY ARE FREE!!! If you care to give your support of this serive either financially or through your prayers I will feel more than blessed that God has touched you through these devotionals. So I hope you join me and choose to receive these unique daily devotionals and writings. AGAIN THERE IS NO OBLIGATION, NO COST, IT IS FREE!! JUST WRITE ME BACK AND LET ME KNOW YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO SEND THEM TO YOU EACH MORNING. IF YOU WANT THE DEVOTIONALS DAILY THEN PLEASE DO NOT FORGET YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IN YOUR REQUEST!!! Here is a poem of prayer to the Lord: Homage You are the reason behind my humble life The peace I find inside that eases my strife You are the essence of me like my every breath Embracing my soul to it's deepest lost depth You are the simplicity of an orchid's dew The faith inside me I always must renew You are the beauty of a golden sunrise The hope found in every mother's eyes You are the strength I have for the longest day The one in the darkest night to whom I pray If today I have not told you I love you anew Then listen to my heart and know that I do Our Email address is: [email protected] Our postal address is: K and J Enterprises Suite 161 6326 E. Livingston Ave. Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068 May God Bless you this day and everday of your life. A humble brother in Christ James

In a message dated 97-08-17 21:06:12 EDT, you write: << What the hell is up with that letter sent about the "occasional table" HELLO are we wasting E Mail paper on that one or what????? >> Once again I think I must have missed something. I don't remember any reference to an occasional table. There have been a few other times when there have been postings referring to something I didn't receive. Do any of you have any suggestions as to why this would be happening? I know we have been getting a lot of mail, but it is frustrating to not get everything when you feel like you've been "left in the dark" on something! Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Love at Home Text and Music: John Hugh McNaughton ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There is beauty all around When there's love at home; There is joy in ev'ry sound When there's love at home. Peace and plenty here abide, Smiling sweet on ev'ry side. Time doth softly, sweetly glide When there's love at home. Love at home, love at home; Time doth softly, sweetly glide When there's love at home. In the cottage there is joy When there's love at home; Hate and envy ne'er annoy When there's love at home. Roses bloom beneath our feet; All the earth's a garden sweet, Making life a bliss complete When there's love at home. Love at home, love at home; Making life a bliss complete When there's love at home. Kindly heaven smiles above When there's love at home; All the world is filled with love When there's love at home. Sweeter sings the brooklet by; Brighter beams the azure sky. Oh, there's One who smiles on high When there's love at home. Love at home, love at home; Oh, there's One who smiles on high When there's love at home.

"There are sisters who have grown up in the gospel and have had the ideal family life and do the same with their children." All sisters who fall into this category raise you hand!. WHAT? No hands. lol This is one of the Church's biggest myths....that someone somewhere is doing it all right--and it ain't me. Even the GA's have problems....some of them the same as we're having. Some of them are in counseling, some on anti-depressants, some divorced and remarried, etc etc. The important thing is that we are all trying to be like HIM - try, try, try. Love ya, Sharlene

But remember always that you are not alone, He'll take your hand , he loves you, he will guide you home. CHORUS chorus : Walk tall you're a daughter A child of god.

Whenever I am having the kind of day where I get discouraged this song ALWAYS helps. I love you all.!!! Kimmie

Yes, I would like that very much and would like to see the old group come back! Dianne, you are wonderful, thank you for your input and I will keep trying. I want you to know that I love you and that I am glad to have the opportunity to get to know you online. Love Lulu

I am moving and can't keep up right now please cancel me until later. I will be back!!! Jamie

Sisters, I agree with Shop. Sometimes we need to write to get our feelings out...it is important to do so. I think, however, when we are posting to a group such as this, we should do so with the image in our minds that we are sitting in a room with each other...say in Relief Society for instance. If what we have to say isn't something we would share in that room in person with the group of women there, we would probably do well to keep it to ourselves....use our own journals to express or speak to a personal friend about our feelings. I was under the impression that all postings to GEN-ROOTERS would go to a daily digest so that we would all just get one mailer a day with all the postings contained there---that way we can scroll down through what doesn't interest us, etc. I just returned from a camping trip last evening and when I logged on this morning, (2 hours ago) I was a little overwhelmed by my mailbox. But, now that group 2 (if I understand correctly) won't be on the digest mailer, perhaps it will get better. Would someone clarify how this is all to work for me? I hope everyone enjoys their Sabbath.... Sincerely, Opie

I don't know if anyone else is getting all these messeges. They are all from a person named SHLooi. My whole page was full of things from her. She obviously want to be off the list. Can someone please take her off. I have just spent an hour reading all her replies. I think she has gotten her point accrossed. SHLooi, if you are reading this. We have all got your messege to be taken off. please do not reply to us anymore. I am sure you will be off shortly. The problem I am sure is just temporary. It could just be a matter of the person who takes care of our list could still be busy at church and has not yet got any of your messeges yet. Thank you Kimmie

I wondered why I wasn't getting any mail...my name is ShLoOl.....when they made up the list they goofed. The mystery is solved.....I'll remove your name. Have a good day

Sometimes the only "friends and family" are those on line. Sometimes "psychological help" is not needed--just a listening heart. Maybe we should Code our out-going mail so that those who aren't interested in the personal things can delete them and not bother to read them. For example, In the Subject box If someone has a personal problem they could type PP or Personal Problem (and sometimes just writing it out helps them solve it). Recipies: Thought: Profile: ETC. ETC. ETC. I'm pretty much house bound and MOMZ has become my social experience until I can get out more. But PLEASE stop sending one line comments to the group!!!!!

In 1960 some very good friends of mine were caught in a similar flash flood that are well known to anyone who hikes the Southern Utah/Arizona Canyons. There were several casualties, including one of my friends. There is no way to predict when these flash floods will hit and the force is awesome. To have beautiful blue skies and suddenly a roaring wall of water coming down the canyon is an incredible experience, said my friend that did survive. She watched as people tried to help each other. Only a few were able to get to higher ground...she was one of the lucky ones. The force of the water pulled someone right out of her hands and swept him away. WHAT ARE WE TO LEARN FROM THIS? In life there are always RISKS. Do we need laws to regulate and control everything we do?.....I don't think so. Part of the adventure of life is not knowing what's coming next. We can't plan for every contingency....and that's where faith and listening to the spirit's promptings comes in. Rose Kennedy said something to the effect: Ask the Lord for guidance, and then hang on for the ride. Sharlene
