Christian Photographers Community

Well here I am on my first day of umemployment and I am already thinking about the new job that God gave to me,  I can't wait to get started. I am really looking forward to the new job. Isn't it so AWESOME the way God had taken my life and given me my wildest dreams, restoring me to my family and everything else.

Pat: Does cellulitis come back? I had it 10 years ago after a fall, and today my leg is aching and tender in that very spot. I need y-all's prayers.

HEY MELVIN I SEE YOU ONLINE.
Come in  and join the conversations. Don't be shy now.

Marilyn, I've heard that it can come back but that it didn't really get cleared up in the first place.  Judy McKenna's husband has it back but I think it's been bad for a couple of years.  Mine hasn't come back.

Good afternoon!!!!  Slow getting here this day.

My sister woke me with a phone call.  Then she mentioned she was going to mow today because it is suppose to rain this afternoon and tomorrow.  So I hopped out of bed, put on my mowing clothes and mowed the yard.  Then weed eated.  Then showered.  Then ate lunch.  Then did my Bible reading.  Then got on the pc with the washer and dryer running behind me and a cup of coffee in front of me.

Iain ~ We are creatures of habit.  I usually read my Bible first thing in the morning.  All the while I was mowing...I thought....don't forget your devotions and Bible reading....don't forget your devotions and Bible reading.  And I didn't.  But my grass is mowed....not high!!!

Tonight I will be going to my niece's with Ivalou to a Jewelry party....even a cook out, too, Robin says.  So I may not get back on here again today.

I pray that every one has a superb day with God being the main focus!

Iain, I'm going to check out those photos as soon as I finish this post, I really enjoyed the other ones!  How long ago did you go?

Etta Sue-sounds like tons of fun, can I come?  I currently own three pieces of jewelry.

Pat-how was your drive, very long?

Well, I got some more painting done today, which is good.  Our house is going to look great once it's finished.  Hopefully it will sell then.  I'm off to the gym.  God bless you all.  Jen.

Those photos of Iain's are breath-taking!

Thanks so very much for sharing with us, Iain.  I'd love to be able to do that missionary work.

Many thanks indeed folks for all your birthday greetings. I am once again gobsmacked!! I'm glad this is not a video forum as I am beaming bright red just now!!

Hello,

     I would like to thank Pat, Marilyn and Nancy for their assistance and welcoming me to this group. Have been a Christian since I was 15. At the time, I really didn't understand the importance of what it meant to turn your life over to The Lord. But, I understand it more everyday. It is beyond my comprehension how The Lord could love me as much as He does, but, it's nice to be able to be numbered as one of His children. I trust him completely with everything that goes on in my life. How could I not trust Him?
     I am 54, single, never been married. Enjoy travelling, photography, eating out, bowling, riding bicycles, collecting records, and horseback riding. Glad to finally be a member of this wonderful group. I would like to add that I was born in Dallas and live in Irving, TX.
     

Great to see you made it Melvin.

I think I am through packing for today now it is rest time and computer time. I won't be able to be on the computer as much from the new job. Working at the Library made it so easy to sit down at the computers and lurk or post here and on SN.

The dogs are enjoying being in the house all day and not out in the hot weather. Even Happydog who love to be outside has stayed in the house all day when I am home.

Welcome Melvin!


It's great to see that you were able to post!  Now, just do that over and over and over again!

We're so happy to see you and hope that you'll feel welcome here among this little group.

There's always fresh coffee or tea waiting for any who come into this place.  So pull up a chair and join right in.

Hi Melvin, welcome to Christian Photography. You will find this a home from home brother! Just don't tell anyone when your birthday is or your face will end up as red as mine was this morning.

Hope and pray that you will enjoy the fellowship here.

I think that this is so cute!

The software for this forum even gives him a birthday cake and I've just now learned about this.  

I guess it will disappear at midnight!

We went to Hugoton, met Curtis while he was on his lunch break, sat on the grass and visited with him until he and Lewis got up to get back to work; ran the car through Jeff's new automatic bay.  Boy, it's quite a deal:  Washes the undercarriage, soaps and power washes, spot-free rinses, waxes, rinses again, then blows the car dry!  All touch-free!  And it was money-free to us because they were doing some fine adjustments on it, and Jeff wanted to see if they had it all done right.  The auto bay is brand new, and cost him the big bucks!  Our car sure looked nice when it came out!

Iain, I am enjoying your Romanian photos so much.  I was in Cluj and Ocna Mures a few years ago.  We took in lots of clothing and medical supplies, and did medical clinics while there.  The need is so great, especially among the gypsies.

I'm going to watch the news, and hope for some good news for a change!

[size=8]Melvin[/size] Glad to be able to welcome you, brother.  I hope you'll visit every part of this site.  If you have prayer needs, visit the "Have You Prayed About It" part.  If you want some good devotional material, go to "Manna," and then, by all means visit the Photo parts as well.  I'm really looking forward to your fellowship!

Hi Mr Killough   I am Mieka

And a Hi Mr Moak and Ms Sonifo  

And a HelOOOooooo to everyone who is not here yet.  

    I was not here yesterday   I think I was very busy and I forget to say Happy Birthday
Paulette!
I hope it is ok and happy every day after too ok.

And Ms KARMAT I almost could not breath that you went into the mans room.

Hello Mieka,

        I'm new to this group. Am looking forward to participating in the photographic challenges. Thank you for welcoming me. With more and more frequency, I'm striving to capture some of the beauty of Gods creation through my photographs. Thanks, Melvin

  Oh Hi Mr Killough, I am excite to see your pictures. I love to look at all the pictures from everyone. I know you will like everyone here. They are wonderful friends.

Hi, to both Mieka and Melvin.

Mieka, I miss your good postings when you're absent.

Melvin, I agree with Mieka - you'll thoroughly enjoy this group.

I've taken a vacation day today, so am more rested now and ready to go back to face the world tomorrow.

Y'all have a great evening.

Ruth ann

Hi RuthAnn, Mieka and Melvin. And whoever else is here I forgot to check. This afternoon has been very kick back for me. watched some tv., made some lasagne from a box without meat. Got a sweet tooth that won't quit and nothing sweet in the house. I could sure use some chocolate. MMMM Don't feel like going out in the heat to the store, maybe tomorrow I will go ealy in the morning before it gets too hot. Ineed to check my PO box anyway. I finally brushed and braided my hair about noon.  So that has been my day.

Be back later

Oh Hi ms Bice, I hope it is a wonderful day for you.

I do have a a very big question and I have a fear that I will be sad of the answers I will find here.
I think it is written that a Christian is to give all of what is of the earth away and to follow Jesus.
Can we not better help those in need if we have a wealth of things to help them with?
To give away everything because it does not have a worth in Heaven, this I undarstand. But it seem the poor will be given everything in heaven, yes?
The devotional does say: trying to convince God to let us do what we think best, or seeking to live the life that God desires for us?
Does he want for us to be poor, and not able to care for ourself? or is it ok to have great wealth and able to help ones in need?

WEll I just had the funnyist thing happen!

My young Rotti (Bruno) found a grape that one of the girls dropped and has been tossing it around like a ball!  I have been backed into and shoved sideways and finally I looked.  Silly Bruno!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAIN
Thankyou Iain and pat for the devotionals and the hymn.  Now back to reading all the posts.

Meiks.

I think what is being asked of us is that we are willing to loose all for the Lord.  I do agree that if you have some wealth we can then be used to give to those who have need.  If you can go to a church library, see if you can find any books by Larry Burkette.  He is good at explaining these things so we can understand.

Welcome Melvin, I am looking forward to seeing your photos!

That is all for now, going swimming

Love to all JudyB

Hello Mr. Moak,
     
         Thank you. In time I'll try to utilize the services the photography group offers. I love photography and am trying to capture a small part of the beauty of this world through photography. Thanks, Melvin

I'm late as usual, and it's even later for Iain, but...

I'm sorry I was so late posting the birthday greetings and since I wasn't on at all yesterday, it also looks like I completely missed Paulette  

Yesterday afternoon we went out to Stony Creek, to Alice's and got a good supply of grandchildren hugs!  It's amazing how much those two have grown since last September.  It looks as though Rachel is going to be even taller than Alice, who is 5' 10".

Then when we got back and had supper I had just started to get the computer on when it began to thunder soooo.... It's a good thing I did unplug because there was one severe storm after another all night.  We didn't lose power, but I didn't get a whole lot of rest.  

At work today, we did lose power - just for about a half minute, but we were working on the payroll and everything got all bolixed up.  Finally got it all straightened out after a couple of calls to the software people, but by then I was feeling "yucky" and since there really wasn't  anything more for me to do I came home.  And did nothing but sit around all afternoon.  

Well my goodness is this a most awesome surprise to come into today.....I was reading yesterday's posts because Pat told me to and lo and behold.....there were so many birthday wishes awaiting me......my daughter will be very sorry ......but I am pleasantly surprised to say the least....


and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ALSO IAIN.....I believe that i was doubly GOBSMACKED as you say .....hee hee.
I just wanted to say thankyou to all of you great folk here at CP for making my day so bright and welcomed.....God bless you alll.
In His Grace...Paulette...with a bright red face and a very full heart.

Mom, would you really make me sorry when all these lovely birthday greetings surprised you so pleasantly

Melvin, a warm welcome to you.  I'm sure you will enjoy your time here.  God bless you.

OH ms Tenderheart, I did not undarstand why your daughter will be sorry for this.  

IT WAS A SNEAK, YES?   HAHAHahahaha
HOW Fun !
