I will pray God's will is done. Honestly we are likely very near a power grid failure and extended time where we will not be able to communicate this way. My prayer is that we will be able to be effective warriors in light of challenges ahead; and have wisdom in survival under any circumstances as the Apostles did with their backs against the wall.
It seems the Lord's coming is very near and if He tarries a number of birth pangs to come to our nation as well as the world.
At present I will ask the Lord to give guidance to a possible alternate site or some new concept to intercept and destroy things that are aiming to bring down the site. The idea comes to mind to perhaps have a different sites for different regions; perhaps in the US and or other countries. Maybe a daily update without all the threads going back a decade would help?
I am as you may have seen expressed some concerns of late on topics that seem to be causing division among some longer standing individuals here. Answering with scripture always helps as a first response. I guess it is hard to determine where to draw the line but perhaps after several rebuttals that are showing hostility there should be a 3 strikes you're out; or maybe for a month or so that particular thread should be cut off.
Whatever happens I want to thank you guys for the latitude I have been given here and the opportunity to volunteer for counsel when needed although there was only one person you asked me to pray for in that situation. I have probably expressed to you before what I said today that I hope someone makes a concerted effort to respond to prayer requests as well as people sharing when prayer are answered by the Lord I guess you guys can have a prayer request of the day from churches; missionaries or world events as another idea I have.
Thanks for the information. It confirms what I noticed about "Shantel", as I am sure others have also come to the same conclusion. I keep Earl in my prayers regularly.
