Amanda,
I just signed in for this blogg and find it very interesting. At our church we have had some studies or at least question and answer times on the subject of tongues. I look forward to joining into the discussion with you all.

My first blog

Hi everyone,

My name is Roger Somero & I'd like to share my feelings about the Holy Spirit & speaking in tongues with Amanda and anyone else who may find this of interest.

First I'd like to say that the moment a person begins to look into the subject of the Holy Spirit you're already being prompted by the Holy Spirit... This is AWESOME ! ! !

I was born and raised in the Apostolic Lutheran faith and I'm glad I was raised with WONDERFUL Christian parents,(Mom & Dad are in heaven now) three brothers and two sisters. I met a truly Pentecostal girl at a young age and my life changed totally from that point on (Her name is Kim & we've been married for 33 years now). Actually my life testimony starts much earlier and I'm willing to share it with anyone who may want to hear it.

I believe speaking in tongues is a gift that God gives to whomever he chooses. (This is in the King James version Bible) When I give a friend a gift, I don't give every friend the gift & I feel God must work in the same manor beings I was created in his image. I personally have not been given the gift of speaking in tongues (YET) but I do seek it and I don't feel I'm a lesser person because I haven't been given that particular gift.
God has given me many wonderful gifts in which I'm most grateful for. I've seen God work in ways I could never have imagined. God usually deals with me in absolutely hilarious ways. ( It's usually not funny at the time but when it's all over & I begin to see the whole picture...It's HILARIOUS ! ! ! )

I'm sure we'll all have lots to share on this subject & I'd like to encourage everyone to join this blog so we can all learn more from each other. One thing I've learned in life is that if I complain about something and don't have any answers or ideas, I shouldn't complain at all.

May the Lord bless this blog and all the wonderful people that make this blog possible.

Thank you Pastor Scott, you and your whole family have given SO MUCH to the people of the Copper Country in the short year that you've been here. The life you live encourages me.

In Christs love.
Always,
Rog
