Let's be reasonable with one another, shall we?

These are high and lofty ideals based on extensive study...

Give me a greeting when you visit. I appreciate nice-ness.
You can address another blogger ... and even disagree with them, that is fine. All I ask is that you leave censure and hand-slapping to me.
Speak up ...
about the posts.
Be nice!

Q: Why do I like these quotes? A: Because they make me feel good. :~)

Earl - As I write, teach Sunday School, I think of people like you in my audience. It gives me a sanity check of what I am saying. Would what I say pass the "crap" or sanity check of you or others that I know?

KC -
You're a great sister ;-)

Colin Maxwell -
I enjoyed your post and desire to think these things out.

Loren - Your posting is full of many thought provoking points and excellent, searching questions ... you're really a very profound thinker.

Earl - You have a fun blog!
I really appreciate what you're doing.

Joe - You are my favorite theological blogger.

Jeremy - Good job ... Bye.

Todd - With blogs like this one there is plenty to be hopeful for in the blogsphere.

Matthew - Its nice to read an edifying Christian blog ... You are so level-headed.

Mark - You're real! The blogosphere needs more real people like you around.

Loren - I'll bet you stay up late nights thinking about all the theology that must be swimming through your head. I just want to say that it's great to see the ways in which God is challenging you, and using you to minister through your blog. The things you, and others here, have shared, are very thought provoking!

I think God is awesome. He calls red white and white red ... and He is reasonable all at the same time. He has a very incredible sense of color. This is important to artsy people like me.

Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
(Isaiah 1:18)

Q: Why do I call them 'posts of note'? A: Because they are about things that I think about ... or have thought about ... a lot.

These are people that are so very reasonable.

Although I don't necessarily agree with everything all these people say, I do think we have something essential in common - proclaiming that the Word of God is the absolute truth.

  • Rose, I've been praying a lot for you lately. I look forward to seeing pictures of your little one.

    Maybe John can live blog the birth? :-)

  • Praying for you too.

  • It would look comfortable if it was really only a cushion you had under there, but I guess it is a bit heavier than that.

    You are still looking good though.

    May it come out soon!

    God Bless

  • Jonathan,
    Thanks for that. I really appreciate your prayers. BTW, I finally talked to Philip DeCourcy about your encounter with him. He said that you said I was "hopeless about Calvinism." Thanks, Jonathan! You know me.
    Live blog the birth? eeewwwwww!
    I shouldn't whine - I know it was harder for your wife having twins.

    Thanks Neil.

    DF,
    Yes it is heavier than a cushion and harder too. I wonder why I can't tie my shoes anymore?
    You are so sweet to say that I still am looking good.
    Soon, yes!

  • Hi Rose, Hope you are doing good!

    And to answer your Q?
    to me it would!


    Blessings

  • You don't look all that comfortable, but you do look happy.

    I pray that everything goes well for you and the baby in the delivery.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 12/14/2006 3:06 PM  

  • Rose, could you change the title of this post to, "Do I Look Good?" because that's the really relevant issue.

    OR

    "Do I, Rose Reasoning, Look Super Young?"

    I'd say yes and I hate you!

    By Blogger Unknown, at 12/14/2006 3:44 PM  

  • Let me see whether I can find the word to express the answer to your question...........yes, I can: no.

    By Blogger Joe, at 12/14/2006 3:45 PM  

  • "Hopeless about Calvinism"? I really don't remember saying that at all. I really do consider myself to have been the most hopeless case ever - which makes you look very, very tame. I certainly do believe there is hope for you Matthew, Antonio, Jodie, etc. Warm regards,

    By Blogger Jonathan Moorhead, at 12/14/2006 5:25 PM  

  • Rose,

    you do have a smile on your face...

    By Blogger Antonio, at 12/14/2006 5:25 PM  

  • Jonathan,

    If I get to heaven before you, I plan on asking Jesus to allow me to teach you, the Pyro boys, Canadian Daniel, Bluecollar, Jazzy, Marc, and Jeremy Weaver, a remedial class in soteriology.

    By Blogger Antonio, at 12/14/2006 5:27 PM  

  • Antonio, lol.....as our British friend would say, of all the cheek.

    Rose, looking forward to the little one. Does John get some time off?

    By Blogger Jim, at 12/14/2006 8:58 PM  

  • We shall all stop foaming at the mouth one day:-)

    sung to the tune of "We shall overcome"

    We may find out one day that all that Sovereignty and Calvinistic perspective was correct after all.

    Rose...December the 25th:-)

    Its that or jogging!!!!

    Get out and go girl....run, run, run.

  • Jel,
    It sounds like there is a bit of a story there. God bless you.

    Gordon,
    I look happy? Well, that is good. I feel happy at times. I am glad it can show.
    I am very anxious to get the show on the road! I also pray for safety.

    Jodie!
    Now that comment made my week! There is nothing like having on of your peers say that they hate you in that teenage girl voice to make you feel young!
    Now, you know I wasn't posting this picture so people would think I look good? Please? I don't have a speck of makeup on and my pants are striped with a different stripe on my shirt. Surely you can see I need a haricut! ... and my bubble-butt!
    You said I was "hot" on the group blog!!! What do you want from me, Jodie?! LOL!

    By Blogger Rose~, at 12/16/2006 12:56 PM  

  • Hi Joe!
    Thanks for the visit! I love it when you drop by. Did you do the live nativity this year?

    Jonathan,
    I would like to sit in on the class that Professor da Rosa will be instructing you in. hehehe
    Yes, Philip said that and something about Arminians that you were saying. Perhaps Jonathan, if you had told me yourself a little more about the conversation, I would have gotten the real scoop!!! Remember, you were very vague in your email and didn't reply to my question about what was said. Warm regards to you as well.

    Antonio,
    I always try to smile for a camera, don't you? Your remedial class sounds very interesting. Thanks for the chuckle!

    Jim,
    John will get 1 - 2 weeks off, which is wonderful.

    Brian,
    JOG? You have obviously never been 9 months pregnant! lol
    December 25? I think you must be a false prophet!

    By Blogger Rose~, at 12/16/2006 1:03 PM  

  • A guy couldn't do that. Be pregnant and all. The first pain that hit me, I'd be beating up the person that made me that way. Not that it didn't take two, but when that first bit of uncomfortable sat in, I'd be shooting lasers out of my eyes. I'd be destructo parent. If someone looked at me, "WHAT!?!?! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M PREGNANT?!?!?! CUT YOUR EYES TO ME ONE MORE TIME, I'LL STRETCH YOUR BOTTEM LIP OVER YOUR HEAD!" Two seconds before that first pain hit, I'd be,"I WANT DRUGS AND I WANT THEM NOW AND IF YOU DON"T GET THEM I'LL INTRODUCE THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD TO YOUR BOTTEM LIP!"

    By Blogger Gojira, at 12/16/2006 6:48 PM  

  • er umm I do hope no one stones me if I am wrong.

    Well God doesn't have to honor my guess, but in his divine decree he may have chosen to do so...who knows:-)

    Maybe not...and it still will be divine decree. Nothing we can say or do can thwart that.

    By Blogger Bhedr, at 12/16/2006 8:35 PM  

  • Still December 25th seems to nagg away at my gut for some reason. I sure do hope you get some relief soon and that I am wrong and that you guys have a beautiful baby.

    Between you and John...well, I don't see how he/she couldn't help but be.

    By Blogger Bhedr, at 12/16/2006 9:33 PM  

  • Rose~
    You do handle pregnancy well; I can’t help but to agree with Gojira.

    Jonathan I can pert near guarantee that wont happen. But please keep praying!

    Brian you crack me up.

    The light hearted humor on this thread has been very refreshing.

    God bless you all real good,
    Brother John

    By Blogger J. Wendell, at 12/16/2006 11:31 PM  

  • Rose, I think you look very pretty. You are in my prayers. I think all your friends in blogdom will be with you in spirit and rejoicing with you and John when that beautiful child is born.

    Antonio - Uh,oh, looks like I'll be spending a lot of time in the principle's office up there.

    By Blogger mark pierson, at 12/17/2006 12:39 AM  

  • Comfortable? no, but yes so happy and beautiful but I don't hate you for it, I'm thankful. ;-)

    (Jonathan that was too funny! Good answer John! hehe)

  • Hello Rose!

    I love pregnant Mama pictures! We had (the frame is broke now, but it will return) a naked belly picture of my better half on the wall in the front room among all our others--she looked beautiful!

    Praying for Dec 18th for you!

    Bill

  • Rose has been gone a long time now. Do ya think that it's happening?

    By Blogger mark pierson, at 12/18/2006 1:28 PM  

  • Gojira,
    LOL! That was truly funny. "shooting lasers out of my eyes". haha
    I would like to see YOUR photo sometime so I could imagine those eyes with the lasers. I do want the drugs, the "epidural." I went natural with the first two and with the third, I had the epidural. Now I wonder what is wrong with people who won't take the pain med - why not? Natural ... smatural. Give me the meds!

    Brian,
    It is good to be out from under the law, so you won't be stoned. hehe Maybe I will burn you at the stake? haha
    Thanks Brian for your well wishes. I did try to jog yesterday. I made it for one black - John was chuckling at me. I am sure all the neighbors were too. It did not increase my contractions. Hey, I tried it!

    J. Wendell!
    I am glad to hear you say that.

    By Blogger Rose~, at 12/18/2006 2:35 PM  

  • Bluecollar,
    That is very nice of you to say.
    Thanks for the rare visit.

    KC,
    I am glad you don't hate me. Thanks for your prayers.

    Bonnie,
    Thanks for the blessings. I hope you and Joe are fine.

    Hi BILL!
    Yes, I think December 18 sounds wonderful. I dont hold out a lot of hope, though. :~(
    Things have stalled a bit and I don't feel any labor anymore.
    I would love to see the picture of Carrie. That sounds quite charming.

    Mark,
    I am "still here."

    Todd, huh? Do you mean "just uncomfortable"? If that is what you meant, then I see - at least I am not in pain, eh? If there was some other meaning, excuse me, but my mind is not functioning at the highest capacity!

    Thanks for stopping by!

    By Blogger Rose~, at 12/18/2006 2:40 PM  

  • Jodie,
    Excuse me, I see that you did not actually say I was "hot" but I think that is what you were eluding to - Frank's coments about his "hot" wife and you say I had her beat! So what can I do for you, honey? hehe ;~)

    Actually, Frank's wife - the pictures that he puts up - she looks kind of vicious, but quite a "vixen" and a lot meaner and harsher than me! hhaha

    A real serpent-head.

    By Blogger Rose~, at 12/18/2006 2:55 PM  

  • Does this look comfortable?

    NO!

    But you are blessed and your smile shows it. I'm sure comfortable will not come close to describing your feelings when your baby is in your arms though.

    By Blogger Kris, at 12/18/2006 2:56 PM  

  • Hey, Kris,
    I KNOW you are right. I am so anticiapting that. Thanks for the visit!

    By Blogger Rose~, at 12/18/2006 3:24 PM  

  • If suceed you will and first you do not then try try again!!!

    By Blogger Bhedr, at 12/18/2006 8:47 PM  

  • Hi Rose,
    I was trying for a 'pain in childbirth' joke, because of Eve, trying to explain your discomfort as a form of God's justice. Doesn't really fit though. I'll keep trying.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 12/18/2006 9:36 PM  

  • Hey Rose!

    We'll have to get together for some post partum euchre and I'll show you the picture.

    Maybe the 19th , huh?

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 12/19/2006 7:05 AM  

  • Hi Rose,

    Did I miss this posting, or have you told us whether it's a boy or girl? And did you decide on a name yet?

    Merry Christmas.
