Don't get the wrong impression of me though, I'm no wine connosseur.. I've only been drinking wine for about 6 months now. I started mainly for my heart, but have come to enjoy it.
PIC, Bill [/color][/quote] That's how you become a connosseur - by trying different kinds and learning what you like. I have only been trying different kinds of wine for just the last few years. For the millenium, I had the opportunity and privilege to drink three kinds of bordeaux that I will never, ever, have the opportunity to drink, anything remotely like it, ever again: 1976 Lafit Rothschild, 1970 Chateau Haut Brion, and 1966 Chateau Haut Brion. Since you probably know more about bordeaux than I, you can tell me if I spelled any of the above wrong. I'm not sure. Missouri was the country's 2nd largest wine producer before prohibition. I'll PM you my personal top three. You can order on-line if it interests you.

Try any British Columbia wines from this year's harvest over the next couple of years. Should have a nice, smokey flavour to them...whatever grapes are left. And how did Agape's thread asking for help get turned into a wine fest so quickly? Agape, turn off the TV, and the computer for a couple of weeks. Don't even bother looking at a newspaper headline. Give about ten minutes a day to prayer and your Bible. That's all. Just let it all go and just let the peace which transends all understanding come upon you. Go for walks. Go to lunch with a friend. Go to a movie, or a play, or a musical (I just went to see Mamma Mia! and just loved it). The world will take care of itself. Put your feet up and let the house run down for a couple of weeks. Your family may appreciate you more if they have you less for a time. And ignore you-know-who. Many others are and you may as well be part of the crowd. Of course, we could hijack one of her threads. A bunch of wine lovers seem to have done it to yours...

HI Deby
It's Pippin here, don't faint. You've seem so sad lately. About 3 weeks ago I felt like and I mean this Satan was at my back constanly. It seem like I could not do a thing right.
My daughter had just been diagnosed with mood disorders, that's a fancy way of saying Bipolar Disorder. The p-doc but on a medicine that we weren't happy with my husband and I. See I'm Bipolar too. So we been down the medicine road. Anyway the first medicine made her violent and suicidial. She's 13 years old. To make a long story short we end up giving her my meds for a few weeks because we couldn't take the emotional pain. They worked and p-doc changed her meds and everything is pretty normal. A bpolar househld is never normal.
Anyway while this was going on I joined a group called covenant keepers my pastors program. Read Gal 5. I belong to a group of 3 other women and we call one another everyday. Of course for last 4 days I didn't call everyone that's okay they knew it was alright. We pray alone and read the bible for about an hour a day. And do a 12 hour fast on Wedensday.
This has made me so much stronger in my faith and my closeness to the Lord. I do now know how he as helped me through these diffidcult times. They have been rough.
I will lift you up in prayer. Stay in the Word and pray He will never let you down.
In His Love YSIC pippin

I need help, I don't even know what to do anymore, I have been trying so hard to be a good Christian but it seems the harder I try the more I get knocked down, it' like all of a sudden everyone in my life is so dishonest, I am having trouble here on the boards, I'm catching my family in so many lies and so many people seem to get pleasure out of being mean to me. Is it me or what? People say to stay away from anyone who brings you down in God, well I would have to stay away from almost everyone I know. Believe it or not I am a very loving, honest person, I would give anyone the shirt off my back or my last dollar, although I would do that even before I found God. What is so offensive about me, why do so many people have problems with me, please, some honest answers here. Please pray for me, I need help in my Christianity. Blessings Hi! Since the wine discussion seems to be over, let me say my two cents. First of all, I think a lot of people can relate to how you are feeling. I think special people that could be the greatest warriors for Christ are the ones that get messed with the most. I also would give the shirt off my back. I am so giving that I have been taken advantage of often. If you want to read a doozy, check out my thread in "find God". I think people like us, that truly give from the heart need to be really careful who we let into our life. Sad it has to be that way, but I have helped so many others and then when I ask for something......you know what I mean. Either that or people take what they want and have used me terribly. I have had to learn to get harder when it comes to this. I still will continue to be the way I am, I don't think we truly can change SOME things about ourselves. Like I said before though, I have to be careful who gets this good side of me so I don't have to be upset all the time. You too, are a sensitive person, like me. We let things get to us b/c deep down, we care SOO much about people and I don't think we quite understand when we are wronged. Am I right? The only thing I can say is you'll know who is truly trying to help, to be there for you. I believe sometimes we have to cut people out of our life for our own good. What good is conversing with someone that just always makes us feel bad? I think God knows we need special people to come into our life at times and He sends them. Hope I have helped a little. Blessings to you sister and I will keep you in prayer Lisa

Thank you so much for the prayers, I really needed to hear what everyone had to say.'
Lisa you are so right, it seems the nicer a person is the more they get dumped on.
Blessings to you all!
