Yup, I agree with the posts above that say it should have been “listen _to_ the small voice”.

Be _fabulous!_… Be _fabulous!_… Be _fabulous!_

Yeah, and witnessing works well with drive-by posts like the one **Zenster** quoted. :rolleyes: …I feel so persuaded…

Horror of horrors, **N\_O** , Sniffs\_Markers is a devout Christian _and_ she’s gay! :eek:

I’m not though, so please don’t pray for me. In fact I entered into a pact with the devil when I was in the fourth grade. In exchange for my soul, I could eat all the uncooked macaroni that we were gluing to construction paper without getting a bellyache. (It was _so_ worth it!)

We’ll have a Gestapo Plantation  
Where our Moderators can roam…  
And in this plantation  
We’ll do fornication  
We’ll love our Moderatin’ home!

Das sollte _vielleicht_ sein, nicht _verlicht_, which is Dutch for “illuminated”. Gah, stop confusing me with all those languages already, sacre bleu. 🙂

_I don’t agree with fundamentalist Christians because they prejudge and demand everyone conform to their standards…_

Oh the irony.

Anyway Nomadic\_One, try _A Purpose Driven Life_, it’s a great book.

Yeah, and I am _ever_ so famous for short needless little drive by posts. Or maybe it’s just the homophobia that makes me want to puke. I’m comfortable letting others be the judge of that.

Really Really don’t mean any offence to the OP or anyone else here but… there used to be a guy in Hammersmith who “witnessed” by dragging a full sized cross around, only he’d got a little squeaky wheel on the bottom to make it easier going :smack: - So when I read **NS**'s post I immediately heard the “Thud” of the door, and the “squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak” going forlornly off down the corridor.  
Yeah, I know, I should be ashamed, in fact I am.
