We always tried to "spare" our kids that pressure, too... and most of the congregations we pastored were not the type of people who would treat our children as though they had to be perfect. Except, for one church (we were only there a year)- those people had other and bigger problems. s. But to help the situation Sam would send the kids out to the gym to play as soon as we arrived at church!
..I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ took hold of me.

Just testing you. You flunk. Now that it doesn't matter, I can tell you the truth: I HAVE A LOT OF MONEY! But, too bad, you flunked already.
I request a flirting forum.
wow, well, in my world, failure is only a negotiation for future victory (do you really have a lot of money?)
and I agree a flirting forum would be hilarious!!!

Let's negotiate, you and I.
(do you really have a lot of money?)
It all depends on what "a lot" is. I'm somewhere between Warren Buffett and the guy at the drive thru. Details come at the cost of lunch, on me.

you're going to have to narrow that gap down a little bit before I agree to anything!!!

My COGOP pastor in San Angelo, Texas, was a guy named David James. If I'm remembering correctly, he said he was a descendant of Jesse James. David was one of the most humble, Christ-like people I have ever met. A truly amazing man. Does anyone here know him?
My husband and I knew David James and his family. They attended the church my FIL pastored in Bay City, Texas. Wonderful family, special people.

25 things about me
1. I have the most wonderful Savior. He completes me in a way no one on this earth ever could. I am learning what it's like to have HIM as a dad. It's awesome!
2. I married the greatest man in the world.
3. I have the most precious son any mom could ever ask for. He really is a great kid!
4. I am left-handed. A teacher told me that the left side of your body is controlled by the right side of your brain and vice versa. So, there are very few of us in our right brain!
5. I went on a missions trip to Mexico in 2002. One of the BEST experiences of my life! I didn't want to leave.
6. Because of my family situation, "Cook" is the only last name I feel is actually mine.
7. I have been a Christian since 1996. (this is my 13th year)
8. I didn't go to my senior prom either. I didn't want to hang around people that got drunk before/after the prom. That's all they did.
9. I was raised Assembly of God from the time I was 8 years old to 20. I went to a revival at the Greenwood COGOP and felt God calling me to go to that church. I reluctantly went, and met my husband just 2 months later.
10. I have a CRAZY cat named Gracie that loves me. She follows me everywhere!!
11. Being a wife and mom is so much more fun than I imagined!
12. I have a sister that is 16 years older than me.
13. My dad has never seen his grandson. His loss for sure.
14. God started to heal me of the hurt feelings/anger towards my dad about 5 years ago. I finally feel that healing is complete. I am just trying to deal with the issues that go along with not having a dad there for you your whole life.
15. I am not ashamed to talk about the way my life was. I want to help others that may have went through the same/similar situations.
16. I have a passion to reach the teen girls.
17. Sometimes I feel I need to talk to a psychiatrist!
18. I REALLY want to learn to play the piano. I can pick out little songs on Jakob's little keyboard. I wanna play so bad sometimes I can just taste it!
19. I play the flute.
20. I am a little OCD. Ok, maybe a lot. I seriously almost had a breakdown when I was little because I came home from church one Sunday to find my 2 little cousins playing my baby dolls with my Barbie doll stuff and vice versa. I locked them out of my room and cleaned it all up!
21. I went to work with my mom when I was little (she was night auditor for a hotel) and pushed the button under the register that alerts the police station. In a matter of minutes police swarmed the building. One asked if I wanted to go to jail with him.
22. I was paranoid about everything when Jakob was first born. I cried when he started sleeping in his room right across the hall because I feared something would be wrong and I wouldn't hear him, even though I had the baby monitor right by my head.
23. I have almost lost my mom a few times. Once to pneumonia (I was 10) and once to ITP. They took her to Jackson to have brain surgery because of bleeding on her brain, and I got everyone I knew to pray. I was so scared. By the time she made it there (2 hours later), she didn't need surgery. I was 19.
24. I have some really good Christian friends that I am very thankful for.
25. It's kinda tough to write 25 things about me.

Here's my list:
1. I was born July 5 at 12:13 AM. Doc, tried to get me out before Midnight didn't work. Hence my mom used to say I was a dud. However, #13 became my # I wore playing ball. Love Dan Marino.
2. Both of my parents are deceased. Mom died November 22, 2004 at 2:39 AM I was holding her hand and singing, "It is Well with my Soul", when she drew her last breath. Dad died September 10, 2007 at 6:07 PM of a heart attack. I wasn't there for that. I helped preach both of their funerals as well. Now I know what it feels like to be an orphan. I miss them both terribly.
3. I was raised in Fairmont, WV. One of my childhood friends was Ronnie Retton. The older brother of Mary Lou. She used to run and jump through the house saying, "I'm going to win a gold medal." (Wonder if that makes her a prophetess?)
4. As a Sophomore in High School I played on the 10-0 football team (we didn't qualify for the state playoffs) that gave up only 6 points all year, and we were beating a team 59-0 at halftime and they wouldn't come out in the second half to finish the game.
5. As a Sophomore in High School I played on the 26-0 State Championship Basketball Team.
6. As a Sophomore in High School I played on the baseball team that won our first 10 games and then lost to Bridgeport and the headlines in the sports section the next day said, "Rams finally lose"
7. Played Baseball in College at Alderson-Broaddus College.
8. I am married to the most gifted woman I know. Don't know how I did it, but you talk about marrying up I did. Aside from Jesus she is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
9. I am blessed with two beautiful girls. They are not girly girls. The both love sports and my oldest plays golf and before long will beat me. I think I will quit before that happens though.
10. I was in the delivery room when both of my girls were born, and I got to assist in the delivery of my youngest. Without question the greatest moment in my life, aside from being saved.
11. I have one brother, we were not very close growing up but with the passing of mom and dad we talk nearly every day.
12. I have been to every state East of the Mississippi and several west of the Mississippi. I've also been to Europe, Asia, and Mexico and the Caribbean.
13. I love sports. So much so that I officiate High School football, (I'm the white hat), basketball (the hardest of all 3) and baseball.
14. I am pastoring my 4th COGOP church.
15. I love to read, my favorite authors are R.T Kendall, Max Lucado, John Maxwell, and I'm reading "The Faith" by Charles Colson now.
16. My favorite place to vacation is Cancun, go on a cruise, or Myrtle Beach.
17. I've been to several sporting events: Daytona 500, Super Bowl, World Series, Final Four, Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl. The best you ask? Final Four without question.
18. Helped start a Christian School with 3 Free-Will Baptist 1 Southern Baptist, and 1 Church of Christ Pastor. Quite an experience.
19. Preached over 30 funerals one year. Most of them I didn't know the families was simply asked by the funeral director, but it helped us win some folks to the Lord and grow our church.
20. Ran for Mayor, lost by 66 votes.
21. Rode an Elephant in Chiangmai, Thailand. The picture of me is in a frame made from Elephant Dung.
22. Love italian food. Especially pepperoni rolls from Colasessano's in Fairmont, WV.
23. I'm a die-hard WVU fan, UNC Tarheel fan and a Big East Fan. I tolerate UK, long story of why I'm no longer a fan. I hate ND, Michigan, Duke.
24. I performed a wedding with Dr. R.T. Kendall and he preached at the church I pastored at the time.
25. Last but not least, I love Jesus.

If I were to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for business. I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right will make no difference." -Abraham Lincoln
