Rules of Open Talk Mom

Since we're growing everyday, it's time to implement some rules. Yes, I know, it's sad that we can't come and enjoy our little spot without spammers, but that's life on the Internet, right? So here we go:
1. Everyone must upload a profile picture of your face. If you haven't done so, please do so now. I hate to have to ban anyone, but I do have to enforce the rules.
2. Make sure you appropriately answer all the profile questions. No "I'll answer later" or "I'll fill this in at a later date."
3. While we encourage you to talk about your business and can even post links to your own websites and blogs, please, NO advertisements on your pages. I don't want our members to feel like they're bombarded with advertisements everywhere they go.
4. If you want to post advertisements, see our "advertise" page for all the details.
5. If these rules are not carried out, I will give you one week to adhere. If you have not done so in that amount of time, I will send you a warning. If you still refuse to adhere to these rules, then I will have to ban you.
Only 5 rules, not too bad. But, if they're aren't followed properly I will have to take action. We want all our members to feel comfortable here, and not like this is a place full of ads or like we're here to sell something.
Thanks for understanding!
Mary

The Legend of Jack O’Lantern

Carving faces onto hollowed-out pumpkins on Halloween is one of those things we do without giving it much thought. The jack o’lantern makes a nice scary decoration, but have you ever thought about why it has become a tradition? It has been said that jack o’lanterns containing lit candles ward off evil spirits. The idea that [...] Related posts:

To all members and friends

It has been long since I've been on the network. I just want to share what has been going on in my life and why I was away for quite a few months for the glory and Honor of God. Only Him could change the impossible to possible if you believe.
My husband decided in Dec. of 2008 that he did not wanted to serve… Continue

When Leadership Hurts

I can't tell you how many times I have been hurt by 'leadership'. I know we all make mistakes, but when you and your husband repeatedly have to go to your 'leader' to confront him on his behavior being hurtful, then perhaps it's time to deal with it in a more direct manner. The Bible says to go one on one, then two on one, then you can take a third person, if he/she still doesn't reconcile, repent, and work on rebuilding the relationship, it is then that we have the authority of Jesus Christ to… Continue

Praying with Authority

I think this is something we all really need to realize, we can and should be praying with authority. Jesus Christ Our Lord said 'Greater works will you do' I will be writing about this in an upcoming article at AGMinistries very soon. I hope you'll come by and get subscribed by email.

We have the right and the authority to pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. He said if you ask anything of my father in my name He will do it. We just need to walk in this reality and have explosive victory… Continue

Dad gone all day= frustrated mom

My husband works shifts, and yesterday he was gone from 2:30 til 12:20am. he woke up at 7am and won't be home until after midnight sometime. So my kids haven't seen dad since lunch time yesterday- and won't see him until tomorrow morning sometime. This plays on their emotions and while they may not say "I want dad or I miss dad" they do and they in turn drive me crazy! my 4 year old had a breakdown while trying to clean up her clothes on her floor. the 2 year old drew on my carpet! AHHHHH. I'm g… Continue

Weight Loss Progress

Wow has it ever been way tooo long posting an update here!!! I've been really busy with my VA business, which is GREAT, not to mention all the activities summer has brought.

Looking at my photos here, you will see I was blessed by a visit from my sister, who is the other 1/2 of Open Talk Mom, Christie Garcia. She and her family were here for just over 3 weeks, and we had a great time!!! I wish she were still here; it's not the same without her.

Well, as you can see, the title of this blog post… Continue
