Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee Isaiah 26:19—28:5
Our study of prophecy in the Old Testament book of Isaiah continues in chapters 26-28. Join as we begin with the beautiful “song of the kingdom” and witness God’s promises to not destroy Israel and restore her to the Promised Land.
Thru the Bible - Minute with McGee Dr. J. Vernon McGee
God Comforts His Own
“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” Now God, in the last days, comforts His own because of who He is. And the Eternal God promises to take those who do not trust in themselves but trust in Him, and He covers them as a mother hen covers her brood. And what peace and security that there is in that and in these days for those that are God’s own.

Daily Promises
For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning. (Psalm 30:5)
You may weep and you may mourn over the troubles of this life, but know this you believers: your weeping will last only a night—for the smallest portion of your life. Once your joy is restored, those times of sadness and despair will seem only the briefest of moments. This life can be seen as a time of weeping; but when compared with the joy of eternity, our suffering seems slight and insignificant indeed. Praise the Lord that He is soon coming!
A Heart Examination
I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. — Jeremiah 17:10
We should ask God to help us examine our hearts, finding the things we need to address so we can serve Him fully!

👉🏻 Link to yesterday’s post.
Holy Father, I set a clock for 8:30 today and Youhad mewoken up at 8:15. I know this means a Holy « Carpe Diem ». You presented me with an extra quarter of an hour to make the most of today, despite the long afternoon of weekend work I have planned. There are no coincidences, only Signs.
AGENDA
Today, in 1272, passed Saint Zita whose feast day it also is.
Zita (c.1212 – 27 April 1272), also known as Sitha or Citha, is an Italian saint, the patron saint of maids and domestic servants. She is often appealed to in order to help find lost keys. She is often confused with St. Osyth or Ositha, an important English Saint with a town named after her. Zita entered domestic service at the age of twelve and served the same family for almost fifty years. Through her diligence and fidelity, she became a trusted and valued servant. She spent her days doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. Zita was known for her kindness and generosity to the poor.
