Teri7: Today feels like a real fall day. The air is crisp, the sun is shining and the SON is here! May God bless you all today!
    Richard Frohm: Hi,

    I recently finished my first attempt at a book.
    It is based in the 1950s through the 1970s.
    The story covers a Sean Hanlon, a kid growing up in Chicago’s south side. In grade school he makes friends with Nick Catalano an Italian kid. They would grow to be best friends.
    In fact, it is Nick’s action that brings Sean to the attention of Angelo Giordano. The head of the Giordano crime family.
    Angelo offers Sean the chance to go to college and get his law degree. He gets him a job with the firm that represents the family.
    Slowly, he gets more and more involved. He gains fame as the attorney for the mob.
    That involvement forever changes his life.
    I know I am asking a lot, but I'm hoping you will read it and give your feedback.
    There are several surprises written in the book especially the ending. Those alone will keep you reading.
    If you want to read it, let me know and I will email you a copy. No worries if you don't.

Teri7: Today is a beautiful day the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad it in. I am thankful I can type on my son's computer. I am thankful I can pray for others. I am thankful I was able to feed Cassette and Tippy this morning. I am thankful I get to see Greyson and Jonathon, Gus and Polly. I am always thankful that Tom is with me and we get to do things together, but most of all I am thankful that the Great I Am lives in me and I know that I am protected by His grace and mercy. May God bless you all today!


Teri7: This morning I walked outside in my son's back yard and just looked in amazement at the beautiful day the Lord has given us. The sky is so blue, the sun is shining so bright, the breeze is just heavenly and the SON lives forever!!!
    damommy: It's always good to recognize what God gives us. Too often, we don't think about it. A good reminder. -
    PENofFIRE: Amen to that.

    Teri, I have written something on the Holy Spirit. I don't know if it is acceptable. I am going to try copying and pasting it.

    THE MYSTERY OF THE TRINITY


    I don?t dare presume to think I could solve the mystery of the Trinity for I am not a Bible scholar. I am just one of His children who happen to be madly in love with the Triune God.

    I was a child when I first heard it explained. I accepted it as a fact without question. I also was taught about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, as well as heaven, hell, and eternity. I believed it all. The thing was, I knew about God, but I did not know Him personally.

    After I accepted Jesus as my Savior, I became intimately acquainted with each member of the Trinity individually and fell in love with each one individually. However, I still did not understand the concept of the Trinity, until one of my pastors gave an analogy regarding the three in one. His explanation helped me to form a picture in my mind that was acceptable to me.

    He said that he was a son to his father, a father to his son, and a grandfather to his grandson. He was the same person but served in different capacities. His personality was the same, his beliefs the same, everything about him was the same, but each of the three viewed him differently. As a son, he obeyed his father. As a father, he disciplined his son and as a grandfather, he advised his grandson.

    As the son, Jesus obeyed both His heavenly Father and His earthly father, but His heavenly Father always came first. It was pure obedience that brought Jesus to His death upon the cross. It was to fulfill the Father?s plan for mankind?s redemption.

    As the father, God extends us that special love that a parent has for his children, all-consuming, protective, and never-ending. His Word tells us that nothing shall separate us from His love. He is a disciplinarian, a Father who chastises His children for their own good. He is a perfect example of how we should live our lives.

    As the grandfather, the Holy Spirit speaks wisdom to His grandchildren and advises them on life?s issues. He listens intently to what we have to say, then gives clear direction as to what we should do. He prays for us in-depth, covering the past, present, and future; also every person involved in the situation. He also teaches us and reinforces the Father's teachings. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit never contradict each other
    and are always in agreement for they speak complete truth. -


Teri7: Please keep Israel and all the ones from other places, especially the US in your prayers. May God bless you all today!


Teri7: We may go through trials, but one thing I know for sure is that Jesus never leaves us nor forsakes us. He is always with us in whatever we go through. I am thankful I know who Jesus is and He knows me! May God bless you all today!


Teri7: Today I feel very thankful and blessed for the loving birthday wishes I received and all the love from my husband, sons and their spouses. God has been so good to me and I thank Him so much! I am thankful for the poems that were written for me and all the love from my friends on this site! May God bless you all today!!!
    PENofFIRE: Happy Birthday, Teri. Wishing you God's richest blessings.

    I want to ask you a question. I have writings I would like to post on your club site, however, there isn't always a category to match my writing. What should I do? -
    Teri7: You can always post it just on Fanstory. You can give me suggestions for topics and I will try to use them for the club. Thank you and May God bless you. Sorry it has taken me so long to answer you! love and blessings, teri -


Teri7: I hope everyone had a very blessed and happy 4th and are enjoying the day after! I truly am! May God bless you all!
    dovemarie: Hi Teri, I had a great 4th of July, I worked at my day program and saw the fireworks from my windows.

    I am putting a poem for your birthday on the site today. Please look for it. Thanks Donna -


Teri7: How would I feel if I woke up to nothing? None of my family, my home, our little animals. That is why I thank God each day for giving me another day to do His will and bless someone along the way. Life is not always easy, but if I have the Lord with me I know He will not fail me. May God bless you all today!!!
    GWHARGIS: Thank you for the blessing. And back at you. Gretchen -
    Alexandra Trovato : Very true! We feel the same. Thankful for every breath, every sunrise. God is Good! Your friend, Alex -
    PENofFIRE: Hi Teri, I have been gone a while, and at 90, I seem to forget some things. I received two reviews for a story I wrote and I want to thank them, but I do not see a place to enter my reply. Is it somewhere other than the review box? Also, I have some things I would like to enter in your club but there are no categories for them. What should I do? -


Teri7: I am thankful I am able to see our oldest son and Greyson, along with Polly, the chicken and Gus, our granddog! God is so good all the time!!! May God bless you all today!


Teri7: I thank the Lord that we did not have bad storms yesterday and I am praying for those affected by the storms.


Teri7: I thank the Lord for waking me this morning and for each breath of life He gives me. I hope you all have a very happy and blessed day!!!
    Ed Zeiser: Hi Teri - Thank you for the good wishes. I usually have a wonderful day and a wonderful life. I live in the country and am surrounded by trees. I am truly blessed. I wish you the same!
