CHAPLAIN'S CORNER - A Pastoral Care Resource Room Exclusive For NewsTalkers
A new and exclusive to NewsTalkers community resource room for pastoral care is now open to all NewsTalkers members and visitors.
Those seeking ideas, techniques, and experiences with providing and receiving pastoral care can find it in CHAPLAIN'S CORNER.
The room is co-run equally by Enoch and Raven Wing. All are welcome to read articles. Those wishing to post comments should read the rules in RED.
Contributions violating site and room rules will be deleted for cause by either Enoch or Raven Wing.
The room is a place to find pastoral care for those seeking and/or wanting to provide it. It is a resource for help. It is not a debating society on doctrine, viewpoints etc.
Anyone wishing to have an original article or seed posted should send it by site private notes to both Enoch and Raven Wing for consideration.
If the proposed monograph fits the room theme we will post and support it. If it does not, it may have great value elsewhere on the site. We shall so advise and entice submitters to post it in another venue, wishing you well with it.
Our profound gratitude goes out to TIG and Perrie Halpern for all the effective work they did to make this library for our community possible. Thank you.
Peace, Abundant Blessings; Giving and Getting Help When Needed As Wanted.
Enoch and Raven Wing.
Raven Wing and I welcome you to our new resource room.
The room, Raven Wing and I are here to help you.
We are always available through site private notes.
Let us know if you want us to post an article on a topic of interest to you, if you cannot locate one.
Peace and Abundant Blessings Always to You and Yours.
Enoch.
Thanks Enoch and RW....I joined the group.
Looking forward to reading the articles posted there.
Hi Kavika! Glad to have you join our room. Hope you enjoy the articles.
Dear Brother, Close Friend and Treasured Writing Partner Kavika: Welcome.
You are most welcome.
Particularly you.
Will be in touch about joint venture co-authoring opportunities soon.
Its between minus 20 to minus 40 degrees F with wind chill here.
As a Floridian, I am sure you can relate to all this.

I just took Wiki out for her nightly pee and it is 55 degrees.....Not that I'm rubbing it in, but I am....
Be careful my friend, they are saying -50 tonight and the next few days......
Cops have been out passing out gloves......
Smiles.
Always look on the bright side of life.

Dear Friend No Where Man: Frost bite can occur very rapidly in such temps.
For the next few days, shy an emergency situation I plan to enjoy the great indoors.
15 November last I had open heart surgery.
This winter shoveling the drive and walkway has been farmed out to folks younger then me.
Fortunately, that is almost all the population on this globe.
E, Tossing Another Log in the Fireplace.
Congrats and I wish you the both the best of luck with your joint endeavor. I know it can be a wonderful resource for NT!
Thank you Perrie. I know that Enoch has looked forward to this for some time, and I am most honored to be a part of it, and helping him fulfill his wish.
Dear Perrie: Welcome.
Many thanks for the crucial role you played in making this site resource possible.
We are profoundly indebted.
E.
Nice to see the shop doors have opened. Congratulations to you both.
The Chaplain's Corner is an excellent example of how to leverage the power of groups on NT. I am sure the other major group owners will be here to welcome you to the fold as the newest major NT group.
( Now I need to work harder on my group. )
Thanks for all your time and hard work. We could not have made it what it is without all your expertise and great ideas.
Well......if you need a BT to help....(ahemm)
Dear Friend Tig: I recently joined your group.
Thanks for letting me in. (There goes the neighborhood).
Welcome. you are most welcomed to our group.
We are most indebted to you for your time, talent and expertise.
We could not be here without your skill sets.
Thanks.
E.
Happy to support your efforts Enoch. It is also nice to see how well you two are making use of the NT capabilities. There is a lot here and unfortunately much of it is untapped.
Dear Friend Tig: Perhaps you and I can work on actualizing the site's potential together.
It would be my honor and pleasure to collaborate with you.
Please let me know.
E.
Dear Brother Enoch,
I have had the honor and pleasure of working with TiG as an NT Beta Tester (BT) on some of the new features he has developed over the past year or so, and he is a wonderful teacher, and the patience of Job with my many questions as things progressed. I am sure that the two of you would work very well together. (smile)
Dear Sister, Treasured Writing Partner, Close Friend and Moderator to the Stars Raven Wing: No doubt about it. TiG is good people!
This site, as our resource to this site room owes TiG big time. Big Time!
I look forward to working with TiG in whatever ways the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune send our way.
Good times ahead, full steam.
E.
Happily joined my friend!
With you and sis's advice, how can I go wrong!
Yours always....
NWM

2 very good people doing a good thing on a good site
Dear Brother Charger: Thanks you very much.
Each time I see your avatar, I am reminded of that classic car chase scene from the movie, Bullit.
We hope what we are doing here is helpful to our on line community.
We look forward to learning from and serving you here.
E.
Thank you charger. Indeed NT is a very good site, and it is a great pleasure to be a part of it. (smile)
You are both what's best about NT.
Dear Friend Pat Wilson: Many thanks.
Impossible for me to go wrong partnering with Sister Raven Wing.
We hope to be of service to our community here.
We also wish to learn from you here.
E.
Thank you for your very kind words, Pat. There is so much to be shared on this site for those who are willing to share and learn from others. (smle)
ditto
Dear Friend Trout Giggles: Easy to collaborate with Raven Wing. Difficult to Tuna Fish.
Just an aquatic joke for the halibut.
Heard it from a Pieces. I think he was working for scale.
Whale of a stand up routine.
Holy Mackerel.
Time for me to stop now.
As I look out over this sea of puns, I feel a wave of nausea coming on.
Grins.
E.
good job on the puns
Thanks.

Well there is that old yiddish saying......

Lieber Bruder NowhereMan: Ah Shainen Dank.

As I have certain limited Moderator powers for specific purposes and duties, I can become a member of all non-private groups and can open and post to the ones I choose without requiring to click on "JOIN GROUP", so please consider me an interested member although I will not show up on your member list. I wish to welcome you, Enoch to the frustrating life of a group administrator. Raven Wing has already borne the tribulations of being one.
Welcome Buzz! The Chaplain's Corner is no longer a private group, that was only while it was under construction. Since it has now gone live it is now an open group for any who wish to join, or just to come and visit and read the many articles. Chaplain's Corner is meant to be sort of a Library of various Pastoral articles that all are welcome to come and read. And if anyone wishes to add an article that is appropriate for the group they are welcome to submit a copy of their article to both Enoch and myself via the NT Private Notes for consideration.
While there are always some types of issues that can arise when administering any kind of group, I do take great pleasure in doing so. Most visitors are more than willing to offer many interesting, enjoyable and enlightening comments.
I will also be the Moderator of the new group and assist Enoch however I can while he is still recovering from his recent surgery.
If you would like to submit any articles that are related to the Chaplain's Corner we would be happy to hear from you. (smile)
Dear Brother Buzz: As "Mein Besten Chaver" you serve as a role model for me in how to do this.
The room is really a library resource center for ideas and articles.
Not much in the way of give and take back and forth expected.
We want those who need to have a pastoral care needs a safe place where they can come and obtain, hassle free.
A "Succat Schlomecha" (Peaceful dwelling).
With Sister Raven Wing as my co-equal don't see how I can go wrong.
E.
Congratulations Enoch and Raven!
I didn't realize I was a member of this group till I opened your article. As the founder of a group, I welcome both of you and wish you good luck
Many thanks.
No stopping us now.
E.
Thanks Giggles! I hope that NT members will find the room of some value when needed. That is what it is there for.
Thank you Enoch and Raven Wing for providing, what I hope is, respite for NT members. It will be awesome, the two of you create harmony, instill peace even though your life experiences are uniquely individual.
Welcome Lynne,
We hope that those who are in need of spiritual and personal peace will find that in our room.
As we are all connected, we are all one. (smile)
Dear Friend LynneA: We hope to help those in our community who need and want help and to help.
We see our room as a resource center for getting, receivng and learning about pastoral care.
We also want the room to be a Succat Schlomecha (peaceful dwelling).
The rough and tumble is well represented on the site and lot s of other places in the Internet.
For those seeking calmer waters and fellowship, we hope to make it available.
We are honored and grateful for your presence here and all you do.
thanks.
Peace and Abundant Blessings Always.
Enoch.
I would join your group but alas, I am too bad.
Haha
Congrats Enoch.
Congrats Raven.
Also a congrats to TiG. He never gets credit, even though he does a lot of behind the scenes work.
Dear Ender: You are most welcome and encouraged to join.
Cannot actualize its full potential without you.
Totally agree on getting credit to TiG for all he does for this site.
Talk about an unsung hero!
While we are on the topic, a huge shout out to the site Moderators.
They take on a thankless job, never get credit.
Just a bunch of guff from those who break the site and room rules and get caught.
So many do so much, and are praised so little.
This is one of the many reasons why we need you as a member.
To be the site conscience.
Peace and Abundant Blessings Always.
Enoch.
LOL!! Not so!! Thank you for your kind words. You are most welcome anytime. (smile)
Indeed! It has been my very great pleasure to work with TiG on various occasions here on NT. Our Chaplain's Corner is a testament to his abilities and hard work. There was a lot of hard work on his part to create the Migration function so that we could easily transfer all the articles from their previous location to the Chaplain's Corner as opposed to copy/paste, which would take much longer and more editing.
The new Migration feature not only provided a fast and easy way to transfer our articles, but, will also help others here on NT who wish/ned to do the same.
TiG is truly an valuable Member of the NT site, and a very dear Friend. (smile)
How do we get to the library ?
Dear Friend Pat Wilson: Go the Groups.
Click on Chaplains Corner.
Do the secret knock three times.
Say, "There's no place like home".
We look forward to seeing you there.
Peace and Abundant Blessings in 2019 and Far Past to You and Yours.
Enoch.
I am sorry to say that the delay in Chaplain's Corner being visible on the FP was due to my forgetting to check the Featured box when setting up our room. It is now visible in the list of groups on the FP.
We hope to see you there. (smile)
Presently there are 58 articles in our resource room.
By the end of next week there will be at lease 61, maybe more.
When searching for an article about a specifc topic, always use the "View All" button in your search.
If you need help, or don't see what you want, site private not Raven Wing and/or me.
We will get you what you seek.
Enoch.
Enoch, Raven Wing,
I am late to the party and have no idea how I may fit in.
Maybe I will read along.
Back to the movies Julia and I are trying to watch together as it spends half it's time spooling.
Dear Brother and Close Friend Dave: Mrs. E. and I devote Saturday nights when we have no company, and are home setting aside "just us" time with a good Netflix movie following a candle light dinner.
In the early 1970's we started a s a couple.
Over the years we became a family.
Now, as the journey comes full circle we are once more free to be a couple again.
We both just move slower.
The room is a site and community resource.
We endeavor to address topics of universal experience and import.
Issues such as birth, life, death; wellness and illness, prosperity and thin economic times, marriage, divorce, success and failure etc.
The province of pastoral care is people being there for other people when and as needed and wanted.
You are always welcome to come visit.
Look up items of interest and relevance as you journey life.
Use information for yourself, and for us with others.
Grace us with your wisdom and humanity, as expressed through your posts.
If you wish to write an original article you want posted here, please site private note it to Raven Wing and me.
You are important to us.
Both here in this room, and site wide.
Important, respected and valued.
Peace and Abundant Blessings Always.
Enoch.
Thank you Enoch,
Enjoyed your experiences. Agree, a good movie to share after a nice romantic meal is a good formula.
Well we got through half of the movie. The new Mary Poppins. Of course being young and from the east she has no idea about the first Marry Poppins. Being a romantic, comedy, action adventure girl, she was a little slow accepting the movie for the first half hour. I told her it was laying some ground work and would pick up later. She agreed to continue and sure enough she began enjoying it. Her phrase "it is interesting" means it is a good movie.
So, being she is still in purgatory (Ukraine), she is 7 hours ahead and it is past bed time. We will finish it tomorrow.
So, yes, she is still in purgatory and will be for a while yet. Visa processing from there has ground to a halt and my own personal main remaining issue from the GFC (the recession that only lasted a year, hahaha) came to a head. The house. Discussed it together and we want to try keeping the house. Finally made a final mandatory payment that "should" put us in the clear. "Should", as they have a ton of fork tongued "I gotch'yas" in the paperwork.
Downside, I can't afford to bring her back now. Savings starting from scratch. Although she works for a US company, her "home office" is in Ukraine and when she is in Ukraine, she get Ukraine rates which is next to nothing compared to here. Results, rebuilding savings will be a little slower than desired.
quick joke: How do you become a millionaire when starting a business at the beginning of the GFC?
Answer: Start with 2.
Well, when you start with 1, hmmm.
Enough hot air from me.
Thank you Enoch.
Dear Friend Dave: Why do they call them brokers? Because they make you broke.
How do you go to a casino in a $40,000 car, and return in a 1.5 million dollar vehicle? Lose your shirt at the gambling tables. Buy a bus ticket to get home.
And so it goes.
E.
LOL. Yep.
