Etta Sue ... what's scarey about that is I get it!       

Good morning, gang!

Amen, Etta Sue.  Words to remember.

Good morning brothers and sisters in Christ.  As some of you know, I have been the photographer for our VBS this year and last night the children made their frames with the individual pictures of them that I took.  It was a blessing of joy to me watching them work.  But even more than that and my job as photographer for the event, it has been special to me to get involved with their songs and festivities and return to my own child-like reverence of our Lord.  There is a joy in my heart.  My favorites for the event was the 4 year olds, who last night during the closing were the loudest in singing "Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes Lord, YES".  Oh the sweet joys of innocence.  Truely a blessing to serve, at whatever level we serve, be it organizer or the person cleaning up afterwards...what a joy it brings.

Carl it is always good to see and hear the children rejoicing.

God devotional today Etta Sue. thanks you.

Good Morning to everyone, I hope you all have a terrific day. I am short on time again this morning as I have been busy doing other things. I have completed one load of laundry and another is in the dryer. I am going to work soon.

Good Morning Everyone!

Carl, what a blessing that must have been.  For me, there's nothing as precious as hearing these little ones sing.  I just love it.  What a nice little "job" for you to have for the past week or so taking photos of these kids.  Great!

Thanks Etta Sue for the words of wisdom today-- and the graphics as usual.  Love seeing what next you will come up with.

Hi Jane and Marilyn...



Nards, Good Morning!

hmmm i think i'm getting used to this posting thing! haha. even though i very well might be the youngest one who has ever joined; that just makes it all the funner.

Carl, i know that exact feeling. i'm a part of it's called Crosswalk, http://www.crosswalkinc.org a mobile ministry team that goes to lower income developments and tells kids ages 3-12, and anyone who sits off the tarps haha, about drugs, alcohol, but the importance of having Jesus in their lives. during the summer we go to churches and do VBS's, and the like - and i'm always the one with the camera. our last retreat we did was for missionettes in ohio, and it was their districts 50th birthday. our lesson was following their dreams and what i did was took girls who were friends and girls only [i'm not sure if you're familiar with missionettes, but friends is like going up the ranking, and then girls only is the highest you can get] and took their pictures, asked them what they dreamed of being, with no costs, no limits. and then when there was a ceremony for them at the end of the week with parents everywhere and about 500 girls some with awards some with not, there was a slideshow presentation with their picture and "i have a dream to be..." it was so cool. my mom was actually the speaker because she's a part of the crosswalk team too, and she had the privelege of speaking at the ceremony about dreams and living out your dreams and so many people commented about the pictures, so it really was a blessing.

hope everyone is having a great day so far !

be blessed.

Cnadice, what a joy to work with kids as you do!  And how YOUNG are you??    Not that age matters at all, we are so happy to have you.  We love people of ALL ages here.  How wonderful that you are being a servant of Jesus at a young age.  May your numbers greatly increase.

Ohenry, what fun you had at VBS, too!  That sounds like a job I would enjoy a lot.  Kids and their innocence and enthusiasm are a real joy to be around.  I only wish their innocence could stay with them longer, but this old world tries to destroy it as quickly as possible.  At least the kids raised in church have a much better chance.

Darrel and I did circuits for our workout this morning--15 min. on the treadmill, 15 on the stair stepper, 15 on the bicycle, and 15 on the rowing machine.....then stretches.  (Isn't that exciting?)  Sorry. 

I need to be about working on my new business some.  The beauty of it is, it isn't work, to talk to people about something you believe in and that will bless their lives! 

Etta Sue, I loved the devotional today.  Sometimes I think I'm in too big a hurry to read all of the long ones, but that is not a good attitude.  If we are too busy for God, we're too busy!  I read every word, and that is one of my many favorite passages of Scripture.

I'm wanting to post a few photos, but since my computer problem, on my PSP, some of the tools are not showing---namely the resize and jpeg ones--and I haven't yet figured out how to get them back.  Lots of tools there I have no idea how to use, and wouldn't you know, the ones I used all the time come up missing. 

Oh, well!

I turned 17 july 6th. last night i was talking to my mom and i'm like "mom, 17 is not 3 years from 20. nor is 20 three years from 17, i'm not getting old, nor am i driving by myself."  she laughed. but i've been told i could pass up to a junior in college, and not once have i been told i look younger.  man, i don't want to get old tooo fast. but sometimes i do wish i could skip these ages.

you said something about a new business, and said it's not work, being it just talking about something you believe in.  me being the one that has just joined you might have already stated where you've started working, but i've missed it.  where do you "work"?

I work at home!  I don't want to be commercial here on CP, but have come into something that is a blessing physically and financially to hundreds of thousands of people.  It is a company founded and run by dedicated Christian people whose greatest desire is to help people.    I'm excited!

i think i would be too! that sounds very cool. well i pray God uses you to His max haha, i'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it.

Thanks, sweet one!  Prayer is always appreciated!

I came back to say I had a short email from Anthony Patrick.  His Mom is not well at all, and he would appreciate prayer for her.  They were having trouble getting her the meical attention she needs so desperately. 

He also said to tell all of you hello, and he will pop in and post when he can.

Hi everyone.  I have been on the run all day and am worn out this evening so am just stopping by to say all is well here and I will try to post more tomorrow.

Hello again everyone: I have been busy since I got home form work, folding my laundry, watering my potted plants, installing  hose holders in on the front and rear of the house, walking the dogs,  reading email, answering email, doing dishes, and making a tuna casserole. Are you tired yet?

Good to see Candice posting here in NEM.

Tomorrow I am taking Fay out to luch for her 97th birthday, we are going to the Oriental buffet in Arcata because I know she likes that food there and will eat what I put on her plate. I made her a cake while I was there yesterday morning.

Still no signs of a new caregiver. A woman called  me yesterday and said she did everthing except cook, and that is exactly what Fay needs.,

  i do what i can. i don't have the average teenager summer. i do work, but it's at my churches rec center where they also have a computer with internet access. and when i'm really not home, i'm out on ministry trips with Crosswalk, and definitely no internet access there. so i just leave this screen open and refresh it every once and awhile. 

tuna casserole, if you had a teenager you would notttt be eating that!  just joking hahaha, although watering plants i wouldn't mind.  hope you find time to relax tonight after your long day!

be blessed.

I never made tuna casserole when the kids were at home although now my youngest son (33) loves it and so does his kids. He is the one who brought over a Tuna casserole to share with me I have just acquired a taste for it. Besides it  doesn't take much to please me anymore and doesn't cost much to fix.

My daughter was a Missionette and  three of the boys were Royal Rangers.

I have an urgent prayer request from Lebanon:

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I haven't been on CP lately.   So busy!      I was at the airport in the middle of the night last night picking up a girl from Korea.  She will be staying at my house and I will do homestay.  I just came home on the subway with her to show her where she will be going to school.   Tonight I will sleep early. 

Please pray for Israel!     Their enemies are giving it to them from two different angles.    If they had their way they would wipe them off the map!   But God is in control.    God Bless

Love Ruthie

Hi, Ruthie!  Yes, pray for the safety of Israel.  They have every right to defend themselves, and have many enemies close by, wanting their destruction.  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, we are told in the Word.

I went to a concert of the Continentals tonight here in town, and it was very good.  Oh, my!  The energy of those young people is amazing!    Their director was from Costa Rica and had a very interesting accent.  (Of course, Pat says I do, too.!) 

I'm going to bed.  "Night, all!  (Nytol?) 

Time to lock the door...
