Abusive Post on Facebook?

Oh my goodness... I was totally blown away today when I went to share a link on Facebook that was for a special registration a few of us at our church is getting ready to do for Women of Faith. I clicked on the link and for the first time ever in doing events on Facebook, it stated that the link was reported as abusive. 


This is what I put down for my Event: 


God loves us more than we know. He gives us more than we can ask or dream. He's unrestrained... excessive... outrageous... Over the Top.

Join us at St. George Community Church located at 95 South 800 East, St. George Utah, on Saturday February 5th from 11am-2 pm. You will be able to get more information about Women of Faith, Register and for the ladies who purchase a ticket you will receive a free gift while supplies last. 

If yo
u would like someone to come to you and you need help registering and can't attend this registration session, we will be happy to arrange help in getting you registered. We don't want anyone missing out... And guys, this can make a wonderful gift for your wife or girlfriend, Valentines is right around the corner...

Bring other ladies from your church or group with you to register. There will be ladies from all faiths and walks of life... 


Women of Faith is a faith-based women's organization encouraging women of all ages and stages in life to grow in faith and spiritual maturity through a relationship with Jesus Christ and an understanding of God’s love and grace. These ladies and many more will be providing a weekend of the most amazing spiritual joy. Cost is $89 which includes two lunches. 



Now, I am not sure what is abusive about my post, but it got me thinking about what we view as abusive. Many times when you mention Christ, pray or read the Bible, we are told that it is politically incorrect. Christ isn't allowed in many places like He was before. It makes me wonder if that is why so many people have problems and businesses fail. If Christ isn't allowed, then why would we think we deserve to have blessings. But it took me by surprise to see that notice on Facebook today. Not sure why it did since I see posts all the time about God and peoples faith. 


Now, I am one of those people when someone says you can't say or do something, I go out of my way to prove my point as to why I can... So now I have a feeling I am going to have to go and leave great inspirational messages about God's love and what Jesus did for us... I don't actually see this as a issue for many, but maybe someone out there needs to hear this message. They may think it isn't appropriate or abusive. But that is ok, I will have to continue on my way and spread Gods message... I do wonder though what the ones who say that Women of Faith or God is abusive is going to think when they stand before God... Normally I would say I would love to be a fly on the wall... Not sure I would want to know what will be said when God tells a person who refuses Jesus Christ and where they will end up... Yikes and double YIKES...

Women Of Faith and Christmas Deals

My Mother in Law Marjorie
This is a new week and the first week in 2011...I got to hit some pretty good sales today and I love a good bargain. So off to get a few Christmas Gifts/Birthday gifts in anticipation of all that this year will bring. I love it when I can get Christmas Cards for only 50 cents a box... Whoo Hoo.  I was thinking about a couple of the gifts that I picked up. I got these shirts at Kmart for like $2.00 or less. But the last time I did that for my sister in law Carol and my Mother in Law (Mom), they both died two weeks apart. So I decided I would give my finds early to my sister, so then she won't pass away on me... Not willing to take any chances, if you know what I mean... 

I am getting Mandisa's Autograph
I also got a pretty cool call from Dawn at Women of Faith today. She was seeing how things were going with getting everything together for the Las Vegas Conference in April...I told her that I am working with Lynda Parker and how awesome it is going to be...  I have to tell you all, that I am way way excited about this. My favorite Christian singer "Mandisa", is going to be there and so is Amy Grant.  I love Amy, but I am so excited to see Mandisa again. Last year a very dear friend Chris helped me meet Mandisa and I am so thankful for this meeting... In case you read this Chris- THANKS :) Still a happy moment. This conference if for ladies only and will include 2 lunches for the 29th and 30th. I am hoping my health stays ok since things go on a day to day basis. But that won't stop me even if I am having a bad day with the Myasthenia... It will happen... But this Saturday at Quiznos we will be setting up a booth and will be giving out information, giving away some tickets and also registering people for this out of the world event... Really I consider it more than an event, its a life changing weekend. It's one of those times you can spend with thousands of other ladies and let your guard down and let Christ speak to you one on one... 

Sandy Patti
This year Sandy Patti will be there... I seen her a couple of conferences ago and she brought this young lady named Lisa with her. Lisa had Down Syndrome and out of all the people in the room, this little girl that was sitting in the audience was signing with her friends and group... I couldn't help but feel the true joy that came from this girl and she showed everyone that was there that day how unconditional joy and peace can be... I don't know if this girl travels with Sandy Patti or not, but I am hoping she will be there. There are going to be many more speakers there during this weekend, but I am looking forward to these the most... I am so ready for April to be here in that sense... The only bad thing is that April is awful close to summer- eeegads 

Other than that, today was pretty uneventful for the most part. I conquered the icy roads headed up to Veyo and faught with my dogs who decided they didn't like to go outside to go potty since they slide all over the place on the ice... Not funny, but is funny at the same time...
