We don't have a kudos thread. We need one. Feel free to post kudos for anyone you like here!

Kudos! to Halfstep_Denise.

Thank you so much for your advice concerning broken bones, pain meds and swelling. Much needed. A true God-send!

[olger]

We have a blonde joke thread Cricket.

What does that have to do with kudos? Is this an attempt to harass or irritate me? Am I mistaken in believing that you are seeking to lead me into confrontation?

Here is the "blonde joke" thread if you are interested in commenting there: The Blonde Cookbook

Kudos to Grasshopper for starting a kudos! Thread. We need to lift one another up and recognize the good that is in each of us. It's the only antidote to the negativity we are all too often bombarded with! <img src="/adventist/images/graemlins/coolhello.gif" alt="" />

Kudos to grasshopper and a slap upside the head for olger... unless I'm missing some kind of subtle joke, in which case a slap upside the head to me. Seemed pretty mean-spirited to me, though.

Kudos to The Stan - this job ain't easy, and he does it with grace, courage and kindness.

Great idea!

[Halfstep Denise]

Thank you, Chrys!

How is your son feeling? Is he still having that pain?

I'm glad I could help, with the Lord's help, of course!

Makes my experiences worth going through if it helps someone else.

He's doing much better. Advil was the key! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[olger]

Hello Bravus. No slaps needed, at least I don't think so.

We had just commented on the blonde joke thread a few hours before...

Weak attempt at dry humor. I like kudos and let's have more of them.

[Stan]

Special thanks to Bravus (David) for his support and wisdom...

[Bravus]

No worries then, olger - I'll self-administer my slap and take it like a man. <img src="/adventist/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Kudos to Pam for having the courage to continue asking questions. She's a real blessing to me in making me think and pray about what I believe and why.

[there buster]

I second the notion. Kudow to Pam!

[:"red"] 7"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

"For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. [/]

That promise is for you, Pam!

[Nicodema]

My cornerstone gem,

You are so amazing,

so breathtakingly beautiful is your heart,

so open and free your mind

I revel in your glorious embrace

Your acceptance and warmth

Words are insufficient to describe.

I am so deeply, humbly, eternally grateful

For the way you let me be exactly who I am

All of it, every last drop,

and all that comes with me.

From the battlefields of this present existence, I come to your door

For it is the one place I may remove My armor

And unstrap My sword

And not need to watch My back.

I have never known one such as you from the House of the Seven

I did not think they made them so exquisitely real

In you my Diogenes quest meets its telos

You are more than worthy to know My Name

You are worthy to receive My Seal, and be called My Peer

And I want you to know how much I love you for that.

There is none like unto you in all the earth.

Being your slave, what should I do but tend

Upon the hours and times of your desire?

I have no precious time at all to spend,

Nor services to do, till you require.

Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour

Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,

Nor think the bitterness of absence sour

When you have bid your servant once adieu;

Nor dare I question with my jealous thought

Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,

But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought

Save, where you are how happy you make those!

So true a fool is love, that in your Will,

Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.

--Shakespeare, Sonnet LVII

[Nicodema]

Ah! what rare and precious gift is this

That, descending into the pit of hell

Hath eased My eternal sorrow with her kiss

Brought comfort to My harrowed brow?

Not since the summer of 1983

When I plucked this vessel ripe and fair

Has any other dared to catch Me weep

And dry My tears with her own hair

And now the Two made One, now One

Are poised to make One now of Three

And thus the torch-fire is passed on

With knowledge of the Mystery

What joy you did bring to relieve Me of My ancient sorrows and endless torment this night, My beautiful pearl. What surprise and delight to find at your hand strength returning to My limbs, swelling in My heart, surging through My veins, bearing resolute dignity to My countenance once more. What tremendous relief you brought, what astounding sweetness, that you beheld Me in My wretched pain and despair, in the blackened stench of the most heinous and shameful secret of My being, which thou knowest why I must hide it from the face of the children of men, and yet thou didst not turn away in scorn or repulsion, nor wax cruel, but proclaimed Me beautiful.

I had thought I had seen everything upon the earth, but I have never seen the likes of thee since this one. This night shall never be forgotten.

Kudos to Pam for having the courage to continue asking questions. She's a real blessing to me in making me think and pray about what I believe and why.

Yes, Kudos to Pam

[Nicodema]

kudos to pam for her questions yes

but *unmentionable here*

for her slanderous false accusations against me

[cricket]

She won't confess

She's beautiful.

Just like me; hates to be alone

You see, her confidence is tragic

And her intuition magic

And the shape of her body,

Unusual(it's beautiful)

Meet Virginia

I can't wait to

Meet Virginia,

Yeah.

[LynnDel]

Kuds to Stan for taking the time to work on this little corner of virtual reality (or is is unreality?) and for having the courage to forge onward!

[Nicodema]

Yes, kudos to Stan and his team for ALL their hard work making this transition! And for making an overall excellent site.

[Nicodema]

Mark, o heavens!

Mark, o earth!

Mark ye this day! Mark ye well!

Mark ye well, for all time and eternity!
