Oh that’s funny...I posted about her writing a book too before I read your comment ! Are you listening Mesta????
By the power vested in me, in view of your esteemed research, I confer upon you the doctorate degree of Pepperology.
Henceforth, you will be known as “Dr. Pepper”.
Especially at 2,4 and 10 o’clock.
Hey, many old remedies were herbal and not all were inert placebos either. Modern pharmacology, in spite of all the miracle medicines it has, might have its own biases. I say the best of both is the Lord’s good provision.
Cowper is an illustrative figure. He, sadly, never seemed to penetrate theologically past the “frowning providence” to a Lord that actually conducted trials for the exercise to the good of His children, even if the children partly failed the trials. Doesn’t mean Cowper failed to have salvation, or lost the salvation, but this lack of faith and his shallow vision did a number on his spiritual life. He was paralyzed by the Calvinist vision (in some versions at least) of a predetermined damnation for a mortally unknown and unknowable set. This now strikes me as a thoroughly inadequate theology and if I had to assert something it would be a “Calminian” vision. But to some stricken by the ordeal, it comes as a seeming conviction that they have committed the unpardonable sin, and it issues from hell not from heaven.
Who has tried speech recognition?
That is true for a lot of people, but I have ALWAYS believed that G-d is with me. Always. No matter what ever ever ever. I can’t say it enough. My soul is not for forfeit for any reason anytime..
I doeth hundly acceot this honor.
And I humbly accept it too.
What an amazing story! Thank you so very much for sharing God’s grace with us. God is indeed working miracles on you Mesta and you are hearing his wisdom and open to receiving His grace. THAT makes all the difference.
I am thinking of making a very peppery stew now myself!
I do not know how any man presumes to judge FOR the Lord nor do I understand why so many are so willing to forfeit eternity for the short time we have here.
I can’t imagine it at all.
Add some forr me. I am starbing.
AND BESIDES THAT, I’M HUNGRY TOO.
Har. I guess you earned my caps.
Your posts are so very special. You pour so much energy into your posts that you share with us so generously. We are here and we are praying for you. Take good care of yourself.

Wow.
That took an amazing amount of effort for you. Thank you for giving us the update, even though you did not have to.
The thought of being able to read FR and not being able to respond would drive me crazy.
-—Can you still speak? Have you tried one of those speech to text programs?-—
I’ll say a little prayer for you!
Google Chrome has speech to text? wow
She could have been one of the old testament Judges (think Judge Dredd without firearms and flying machines), and one of those was a woman.
I enjoyed reading this and am fascinated! God does work in very interesting ways and I see HIM in your story. So very happy to read this update. Keeping you in my prayers Mesta.
Haha!! Hungry and all caps..A GOOD SIGN!! Glad your spirits are high! You are an inspiration.
Well, you’ve convinced me! Tomorrow I add extra black pepper, ground fine, to my chili for lunch. ... BTW, I take it the magic word is PEPPER!
They have high concentration of capsacian but are still edible.
