GUIDELINES AND POLICIES

Please read these carefully.
Things to note: If you are using our network inappropriately, we are not hesitant to ban your membership. We always try to be fair, but the integrity of the ministry will never be risked due to posts or peddling of products, books, etc.


Find safety tips here at Ning. Remember that your info CAN be found online or even through Google searches. Once it is posted, it can take weeks to get it out of Google indexing even AFTER the information has been deleted.

1) All are welcome but please remember that this is a Christian environment. Use discretion, compassion and wisdom with any postings.

2) The Sunroom is a place for individuals to find encouragement and friendships among others who live with chronic illness. Basically PLAY NICE.

3) This social network does not allow any kind of advertising or promotion of one’s own web site, book, blog, company, etc. within your postings except as the 15-word footer as explained below. Repeatedly posting about your own resources as part of engaging in conversations will be seen as advertising. For example, if it's obvious you are pasting the same welcome message to numerous people just so you can mention your 15-word footer, is not allowed. You are allowed a 15-word footer to your postings to let people know about your book, chat room, web site. For example, “Free download to a chapter of my book for the chronically ill see www.restministries.org

4) Paid advertising is available for a very low cost for people or members wishing to reach Sunroom members with their message. Members cannot recruit for other networks and websites, nor solicit other members about products and services. One warning will be given with clarification and then you risk being banned from our room.

5) Under no circumstances, posting of nudity or profanity in this network is allowed.

6) All images, music, videos, etc. that you post you must own the rights to or have permission to post.

7) Rest Ministries does not provide medical advice. No information found here should be interpreted as such.

8) Rest Ministries reserves the right to remove or ban members, postings or groups for any reason.

9) Though Rest Ministries does their best to remove any questionable materials as soon as possible, they cannot be held responsible for the posts of others on this site.

10) Please do not post messages about politics unless is specifically relates to illness issues.

11) Rest Ministries reserves the right to remove/delete any messages, photos, profile accounts or any other form of information at any time. If you have a profile w/o any content, bio, etc. it may be removed w/o notice.

To report misconduct, please click on Feedback below or email Lisa, Sunroom "owner." See top of this column.
 

Welcome to our Sunroom


We're spiffy-ing up the Sunroom. If you have suggestions, please let us know.

You will find loads of joy, compassion and understanding here, all from people who live with illness each day. Many mornings it's hard to get out of bed... but we take one moment at a time and having friends to share it all with make it a bit easier. Each post makes the Sunroom richer, so even if you are feeling a bit down and out, go ahead and share your thoughts. Not only may someone cheer you up, you will likely validate exactly what someone else is feeling who just hasn't yet felt comfortable enough to write about it.

Are you new? Check out "Help and Tips for New Sunroom Members!

HAVE AN AMAZING BLOG POST? Or have you read a blog post here in the Sunroom that really touched you? Let us know and we may just feature it on this front page of the Sunroom. We want to get to know you better and hear how God is working through your valleys and mountain tops!

______________________________________________________________________

IS YOUR PHOTO A SKY?
We'd rather see you! Go to your "page" and in the left column under your country it says, "Change My Photo." If you don't want to post one of you, choose whatever. Your favorite flower, pet, whatever. See details on how to do this here.

Todays' Daily Devotionals from Rest Ministries

At The End Of Your Rope

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3) Many of us would be familiar with the above verse from the passage called the Beatitudes where Jesus is teaching his disciples. It’s a verse I’ve read many times and even memorized when I was younger. Recently I came across [...] Related posts:

Season Change, Relapse Recovery and Going with the Process

Quantum change? Whenever I hear people talking about "quantum change", I wonder, "What the heck is that all about?" Change to me is about "evolution" or a transitional process.




For instance, when the season changes, we don't wake up one morning and the snow is all gone and there are leaves on the trees. While the weather may get warmer as spring approaches, we are likely to experience some ebb and flow of snowfall and rainfall. The snow may melt but a further blast m
