Never ending thread....

[Marilyn]

Well, if we're turning this into the wishing thread......

I wish I could retire or at least not work for someone, work for myself or my husband doing something that allows more flexibility.

I wish my neck was not messed up.

I wish my family was all in optimum heath & physical condition.

I wish my daughters could find the ideal careers that provide a good income and allow flexibility that I never had.

I wish both my daughters would marry good true Christian men.

I wish my friend Luann had two good kidneys that would last as long a the rest of her body.

I could go on and on, too.

Heaven will be better than anything that we can imagine or describe. I think "streets of gold" is figurative. Solomon's temple was covered with gold, the furniture in the tabernacle in the holy and most holy places was covered with gold. Gold was the most precious thing at that time. To me, "streets of gold" means the most precious, most special, most wonderous place that God could conceive of in all His glory. We think on a physical plane, God is on a spiritual plane & what He has in store for the faithful is beyond description.

I know we cant even imagine Heaven because it is beyond us...I just like to imagine what I THINK it will be like... Did ya ever hear the song I can Only Imagine by Mercy Me???Very cool song!!!

Oh, I LOOOOOOOOVE that song. It's definately one of my all-time favorites.

I think God and Heaven are all just way too great for our comprehension. Words cannot describe either of them. And I agree with Marilyn that I believe Heaven is not a physical place, but a spiritual place.

I'll contribute to the "Never Ending Thread"...

My thoughts, as of late, are rather 'all over' the place.

Should I paint my vanity white, or creamy yellow?

Should I take the dogs to the groomers, or bathe them myself?

I really should get a Living Trust, so my son's inheritance won't be tied up in probate.

Why is business so slow today?

I pulled out two gray hairs, and now they're growing back and sticking straight up. I should have plucked them out again, before coming to work.

Maybe I'll meet up with Miss Clairol this weekend.

Why do I still have "Dial Up" at home, when I can get DSL for half the price?

I pay far too much for cable TV, when I only watch a few stations.

I wonder if Grissom is coming back to CSI.

I'm glad my mom wasn't a stay at home mom

I wish my mom would call and not bring up money for once.

I wish I had a kitchen so I could teach myself how to cook a full meal.

I wish I had a bit more direction in my life career-wise.

I wish tuition would be lower.

I wish I had a dog, no offense toward my fish, but they're...fish.

I hope my parents really do accept my boyfriend cause he'll be their son-in-law if he asks to be.

I wish I could make a career out of scuba diving.

I wish my roommate would be able to come up with more constructive advice rather than just 'pray about it,' sometimes suggestions are nice.

...I could go on...

The discussion was over responsibility, not money. You're still not getting it.

I wish my children would get it.

I hope I can find the time to get a couple of internet businesses going so I can be self employed. (I actually have a couple of lucrative ideas. This is not just pie in the sky.)

I hope it's not cold and rainy too many more days before spring.

I hope things work out for our youngest daughter. We actually think the guy may be a keeper from what we've see so far.

I love the dynamic that Marilyn and Melissa have here! It seems like yall have such a wonderful mother-daughter relationship. I love it!

I wish I could find a job that I love that has all the benefits of the job I have now. I really hate my job, but I just cannot give up my salary, medical insurance, and bonuses that I get from that job because I am supporting my hubby and I while he's finishing school. I have to stick it out 4 more months...then I'll be going back to school!

Marilyn GOOD LUCK in your business ideas! You seem like such a smart lady and I would not be surprised at all if your ideas for a business really took off.
