Morning Devotional...
 
Psalm 18:2.  "The Lord is my Rock and my Fortress and my Deliverer; my God, my strength, in Whom I will trust; my Shield and the Horn of my Salvation, my Stronghold."

This first verse summarizes the entire psalm.  The remainder of the psalm just discusses the particulars summarized here.  In his summary, paraphrasing, the writer is just saying, "Lord, becasuse You've wonderfully done all the marvelous things I'm going to mention here, therefore You're everything to me in all of life - You're my strength, my deliverer, my everything."  Whenever there's a danger, a difficulty, or a problem, the psalmist's Lord can be depended upon to be there and to make His love known.

More importantly for us, though, and just because all of the particulars of the psalm are just as true for you and I as for the psalmist, this summary should be ours as well.

So, we need to ask - is this indeed the summary for your life or for mine?  Is He the "immoveable Rock, the Fortress that no one can overthrow, the Savior Who will restore us each and every time we stumble?  Do we know Him well enough to know beyond doubt that He will keep us?  If so, then we know He'll never get tired of us and that we can always return to Him after every fall.  In the words of the apostle Jude, "He is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy" (Jude 24).  And, dear brother or sister - He's DOING it!

Oh make Him the Anchor and everlasting surety of your soul!  He will take care of you!

I know He is my rock in good times and bad. For like Paul I have learned that contentment with godliness is great gain 1Tim 6:6; and to be content in all circumstances for He is always there and He never changes.
Just Saturday night God proved to me how faithful and protective he is.

I was cooking tea. TV was going the exhaust hood going lots of activity. In the midst of it all I heard the muffled sound of children crying. I couldn't work out where the sound was comming from. I stuck my head around the lounge door to check the TV and Jack. No it was not coming from there. I went outside - maybe it was kids over the fence? But there was no noise out there the dogs were quiet and there were no cats meowing!

I continued cooking tea but the noise returned. Was it in my head? I went up to my daughters bedroom but it was not comming from there. I then decided to ask the Lord if He was trying to get my attention. However as I did this the phone rang. My mother-in-law. I stuck the phone by my ear and started to dish up tea while chatting. My daughter came in to grab her tea and I was going to let her take it but then thought the bowl was a little ful and perhaps it best for me to take it in. So I went in the lounge and that is when I smelled the hot smell and the faintest trace of smoke. I just immediately knew it was the aircon and went over and switched it off. I pulled the plug out and it was hot and the socket had just started to turn black, Praise God I found it in time.

But this was not all. Whilst I was on the phone talking to my husband who is working hundreds of kilometers away the kids told me that the lilttle blow heater was making a smell too so they turned it off earlier. I looked at it and there was some paper stuck to the element. I opened it up and cleaned it out. Praise God twice over my home and loved ones were at risk but God helped us to avoid trouble. So interesting that this happened the night before I was due to preach.

Al ~ Thank God we have a God that is with us all the time...during the good and the bad.  As you most know, I am a late Christian.  Looking back, I don't know how I endured without God in my life.  Yes, he is my Rock, my Strength and my Comforter.

Outbackjack ~ What a close call!  Fire is a fear that I have.  I am so happy that God nudged you to keep on investigating.  How great He is all the time.

Janet ~ At this time of typing, you are probably out of surgery and recovering...maybe even on the way home.  I am praying that everything is well with you.

Carol ~ I wish I had learned to quilt.  I only crochet but if I have a pattern, I can crochet anything....some things without a pattern.  I only knit those Grandma dish clothes.  I have crocheted everything from Barbie doll clothes to my dresses for Christmas!  Afghans to lamp shades!

Marilyn ~ You must take a picture of your quilt when you get it done.  Don't you just love sermons that are from the heart? 

Jane ~ We all have those unmentionable worries in our families.  I don't know why we keep them secrets.  God knows all about them but yet, He blesses us anyway. 

JudyB ~ I will put Monty on my prayer list.  In fact, I just said a prayer for him. 

Sarah ~ I know you are one busy gal and it means so much to us all for you stop in once in a while to say Hi to us.  Thank you for that!

Kitty is still having compter problems.  She has two relatives that promise to come fix her computers but they are no shows.  So now her husband has said she can call a guru.  But she brought her laptop here and we set her Outlook Express settings the same as mine.  I don't know if her email is okay or not.  She can read email  on Outlook Express but has to reply on Embarq webmail.  Weird! 

Then Kitty and I went to Indianapolis to the Indiana State Fair to the Open House in the Home and Family Arts building to see how our photos did.  Kitty got one of her three photos hung and she entered two framed and glassed computer generated photos in a category in the basement and got a red (second place) on one of them!!  I got all three of mine hung...that's an honor, right there.  I got a rating of 71 on each of them.  I didn't see any numbers less than 70 and the Grand Champion got 78. 

Kitty broke off a tooth below the gum Saturday and had to go to  Emergency dental.  It was a tooth that had a root canal so she had to have the tooth cut out and the root canal removed and then sewed up.  (I think that is what she said)  Therefore she could only eat soft foods.  So we stopped at Panera Bread on the way home. 

Then I followed her home and she gave me some vegetables from her garden.  Lunch today???  Bacon, tomato sandwich!  Yummm!

Hi everyone.  We had a wonderful weekend at the State Park with about 400 other friends who have walked similar paths to ours.  It was a weekend of encouragement and growth.  As has been said by a couple of folks since I last read postings, we probably all have parts of our lives that we do not reveal in detail here or anywhere else publicly.  Fortunately, I think we all understand that the details aren't that important but it is the knowing that we have that Higher Power that knows everyone and will help up each day if we are but willing and seek his will for us.  

We had very nice accommodations and 5 great buffet type meals of very delicious food.  You wouldn't believe the dessert spread in the evening.  To tell the truth that is where I wanted to start my meal (and probably end it there as well) but didn't give in to that temptation.  At night they featured mountain trout that were so long that they extended beyond the edge of the plates and had lots of other good things as well.  We had very good rates as the two nights lodging and the 5 meals cost us only $167 each.  We also had a nice mountain setting.

We came home to an outdoor air pollution problem that we have again today.  You can actually see something in the air it is so thick.  Fortunately, I do not need to be outside today other than to get from the car into the cafe this morning and later will get the mail.

This afternoon the tech from ATT is suppose to be here to try to fix the problem I am having with less than satisfactory service from my DSL.  

Since there are too many postings that I have just read to try to address everyone I will just make a few individual comments.

First of all Jane, I was happy to see that Bry was able to achieve his return to the Army.  It sounds like he has matured a lot and that the specialty will be better suited to him.  No 17 year old is equipped to deal with the brutality of horror of combat.  We owe all our soldiers and their families such a debt of graditude.  It is so sad when we see the stories of shabby or neglectful things involving our veterans and their families.  I think I detect a miracles of God in putting that officer in the path to get Bry where he wants to be so that he doesn't have to return to the same thing that caused him so much trouble.

I know Janet is at the hospital for her surgery this morning.  Janet I am praying that the results will be what is expected and that the days of pain are about to come to an end with your arm.  

Outbackjack, your weekend experiences avoiding fires is very heartening.  You were indeed blessed with another of those miracles.

Al, once again your writing in our devotional is right on target.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Marylyn, I used Earthlink DSL service for a couple of years and had good results.  I discontinued the service because I had decided to use cable for Internet and have now gone back to DSL as had so much problem with cable.



Well the housekeeper is gone now and it is time for lunch.  

Well last night was interesting.  It started with Kassie yelling "Get a box, hurray get a box!"  My thoughts immediately went to the dog who was pregnant.  From 8:00 p.m. till 1:45 she delivered 5 puppies.  Her tummy felt soft so I went to bed.  When the girls woke me Kassie gave me the news that she had SEVEN! but one had died, perhaps still born.  Stitches has turned out to be a good Mama.   Oh and Heather's dog had 7 puppies last night as well!

Good Message Al!

Larry I am glad your time away was good.  A change is as good as a rest I am told.yes indeed having God as the pilot is the only way to go.  I would be soo lost without Him in control. Also as you have said it really isn't important for everyone to know details of our lives, we can pray knowing God does know all.

outbackjack.  God was really with you over the weekend.  Things could have gone so wrong with out His warnings.

Janet Know I am and Have been praying.  You know.....having a Souverign God sure lets us rest.  we need not fret with Him in control.  God be with you today.

Well I have laundry to hang and more to wash.  I have spent the entire day to 1:30 preparing Meals for John to take on this weeks trip.  Five dinners, sausage and boilled eggs for breakfast and he has tinned soup for lunches.  It is quite a job, but it is a whole lot cheaper that having him buy,  At about $13 per meal..... Yes this is better and hopefully more nutritious.  Well I am off to check the photos, then off to laundry.

Love to all
JudyB

I am amazed at the talent we have here in CP.  The photography is wonderful.

Take a look and see what we have here.  Leave a comment as well. 

   Hi to all.  Noreen and I have not been feeling so good since we came Back from Scotland.  We ask that you would continue to pray for us as  Noreen is seeing a new doctor this week and I have to make a new appointment to see our family doctor.

We are thankful to the Lord how he continues to give us strength to get by each day

God is so good and he never let's us down and he tells us to trust him in all thing's and that;s what we try to do.

Pat: Your devotional for the last one was great.  I did enjoy Dr. John Moores hymn I have heard this many times and sung it to.   I did look at your tube and did enjoy it .  Hope that you are not doing to much.  God Bless sis. ;

Etta Sue:Hope that you are feeling o.k.  Look after yourself  I am so glad that God became your comforter

Janet:  Hope that the surgery went well and that you will be feeling much better soon.  Look after your arms.

Al : how are you doing . Happy belated birthday God bless.

Marilyn:  Hope you get good results. The Lord will look after you.

Larry:  Cars are a pain they just keep on costing us more and more each time you take them to get fixed. Look after yourself .

Carol: I have not forgotten about you re: Scotland.  Please let me know when you are planniing to go  send me an email and then I will get back to you soon.  Praise the Lord for a good answer.

Judy B:  Hi to you.  It sure souds that you are very busy. Noreen and I friends here this weekend and through our coversation your name came up and he said I know that name.  So he told me where you live and I said that is them.  His name is Diavid Pringle he is with Christian Transpotation so he said to say hi.  Say hi to John.  How is the honey doing? Love ya Sis  God Bless.

Colin:  It"s so nice to see you on C.P.  Very nice picture. Thank you for the poem.  Keep them coming.

Outbackjac:  It must be terrible not to have rain the drought must be very scary.  My brother used to live in South Adelaide and he told me about some of the heat that they used to get.  Praise the Lord how he is able to get through to us when we are not expecting things like what happened to you and your family the other day.  God"s telephone system is awesome and again he never lets us down  Praise his name.

There is one thing I would like to share with everyone on C.P.  I heard this today and it makes a lot of sense.

IF YOU DON'T PRAY FOR MUSLIM"S  YOU WILL BE PRAYING TO THEM.

Think about what this means as there church is growing so fast.
We pray to a much more powerful God and we know that he hears our prayers. God Bless you all this week.  Gord.

Hello all you fine cper's. I don't want to leave anyone out.

Great Devotional on Psalm 18:2 Al. I have decided to read Psalm 27 for a whole month. I need to go find your study on it. 

I have been to my neighbor;s to pick some snow peas. She had told me that the vines were over loaded and that I needed to get over there.

Not much is new here  am anxious to hear from Janet.

We have begun our 40 fast. The first 10 days is one meal a day.
2nd 20 days  all entertainment
3rd 10 days all negativity
4th 10 days  a 5-7 day water/juice fast or two meals per day.
Anyone care to join me?

TTYL

lefty janet checking in.  surgery went well, got home around 4 or so.  quite a bit of pain but think that will pass in a few days--have to take 8 weeks of therapy, range of motion.

darrel also had a little surgery today--right big toenail removed, sides of it anyway.

long day since 4:45 am, and i am headed to bed with high hopes of actually sleeping.

thanks so much for the prayers.   

Janet I am continuing to pray for you and Daryl.  Take care and don't overdo the typing.

Yes Gord I do remember David Pringle.  So would Pat remember his father.  Sorry you havn't been feeling too well.  I am praying for both you and Noreen. 

Marilyn I would love to join you in the fast.  I can do up to the water juice fast.  That I cannot do with the digestive problems I have.  I can do the rest though.

It is after midnight.  I am off to bed.
Night all
JudyB

hello all
well its been a long week and its only tuesday..... anyways i hope everyone is doing well i must go put the truck up.... unfortunatly the work must continue i will type at ya'll later have a GOOD day
Sarah

Hi everyone from a very hot and steamy Georgia.  We are suppose to have temps between 97 and 101 today, which is rather unusual for us as we usually don't get above the low 90s in the summer.  The air quality is also in the danger zone even 30 miles from Atlanta where I live.  Our daughter said it was really bad down her way in Atlanta.

Janet, glad to see you posting and to know the surgery went well.  It always seems that after the third day the improvement is very noticeable.  I am feel for Darrel as several years ago I had the same procedure done on both big toes in my doctors office.  Really have the shots in the toes to deaden the big toes was the worst part of it and it was just momentary, but the idea of the shots is really a downer.

Gord, sorry to read that you and your wife are not feeling well after your trip. 

JudyB, I bet those new pups are really cute.  There is something about baby animals that is so special.  Your girls are fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience these births.  Having been raised on a farm I was priviledged to experience baby animals.  You preparation of the meals for John sounds like a good idea as it gets very expensive to eat out every meal.  It used to be the breakfast was inexpensive but no more. 

I need to work on Pat's scanner as it isn't working correctly so better get busy.  I also have a meeting to attend this morning.  Pat has gone for a diagnostic test this morning.  This afternoon the ATT tech serviceman is due again as what they did yesterday did not fix the problem.

Good morning all,

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I have been reading and praying as I can. Everyone here is about the same, Frank small improvements, Michael is doing very well since his surgery and PICU visit except for a seizure on Saturday, and my shoulder is basically no change. The websites are coming along very well.

Al ~ wonderful devotional and I love the song. Never heard it before.

Janet~ praying for you as you recover from your own surgery, thought about you all day the day you had it and prayed.

Outbackjack ~ wow! God sure is good and watches over us.

Gord ~ sorry to hear of your illnesses, you and your wife, praying for you.

Larry ~ wow its warm where you are, we are about 5° behind you and it is very humid.

Hi Marilyn, JudyB, Pat, Colin, Sarah, EttaSue, Ruth, and anyone else I cant remember names for . Toooo many things on my mind.

Pat~ you made a comment on my picture 3D flower New Life, I posted a quick note in the photoshop section with the pic and the link to the tutorial I followed.

Everyone have a God filled and blessed day!
In His Love,
><>Jeannine

Larry, I can relate to the heat thing.  We are supposed to have a record high of 93 today.  hahahahaha

Marilyn, I want to offer encouragement to you on your fast.  While I would love to join you, it has been my experience that when I fast just to fast, I get sick.  yuck.  However, if I follow the Holy Spirit's leading and fast when it directs me, it is much better.  I once went 5 days with nothing but water.  I'm not saying you are not being led to fast, I am simply telling you why I am not joining you.

Janet, I hope you had a restful sleep, and recover very, very quickly and completely.

My pastor called the other night from wherever he is in Indonesia.  Said things were going well, he was loving the food, and the best Bernard could tell, two had been saved.  The pastor couldn't come out and say that for security reasons, but Bernard thinks that is what he meant.  He should be home Thursday.

have a great day!

hello all.  i got good sleep last night, so thankful.

keeping my arm elevated and with ice pack is difficult. 

start therapy in the morning.  leave for st. louis tomorrow.

later............

Larry ~ Sounds as if you had a great weekend of visiting, viewing and eating.  My kind of weekend.  Seems like you are getting smog from Atlanta.  We have had a lot of hazy days here but it is pure humidity! 

JudyB ~ Oh, my!  Thirteen puppies!!  But aren't they so cute.  Well, maybe not yet but once they get their eyes open, they are darlings!

Gord ~ Thanks for the hopes.  I am feeling fine.  I am finally over the tickle/cough/mucuous and that is a blessing.  I found a blood pressure medicine that works for me.  Now if it would just cool down here in Indiana...but when it does that, I know winter is on its way!

Marilyn ~ Fasting is great for cleansing the body and the soul.  I fasted once for 98 hours and only then did I eat because I kind of got scared.  I only had non-caloric beverages.

Janet ~ Great to hear from you and about your surgery.  So you and Darrell both had your extremities worked on!!  Remember every day gets better after surgery.  God Bless You.  You aren't over doing it by going to St. Louis tomorrow, are you?  Wish I was heading west and could meet you in St. Louis.  Sounds like a song, doesn't it?

Sarah ~ You certainly have a great work standard.  You would be a blessing in any job opportunity.  To tell you the truth, a few years back, I didn't think that but now....you are a super employee!  As someone said....You go, girl!

Jeannine ~ Great to hear that you and yours aren't having any setbacks.  I pray for you and yours daily.  Sometimes several times.   God Bless you and your family.

We had a downpour last evening with lots of lightening and thunder.  I had sent an email to a friend, telling her if she had any problems downloading a free .pps viewer to call me.  I couldn't get online or get any emails.  I tried before going to bed...nothing.  And this morning...nothing.  I did a restore...that didn't help.  I did a scan for virus'...that didn't help.  Then I remembered...try pushing the power button on the modem and wait a minute and turn it back on.  I did and now have internet.  I guess the modem did a hiccup.  It is terrible but I felt lost without internet! 

I have already been to the gas station for lawn mower gas and filled my tank...$40.  $2.74.9 a gallon.  It went up again...Why???

And my Weather Bug pop-up said there is a warning in my area...a heat index warning.  It is suppose to get to 95° today so they are warning every one to stay inside in the A/C...don't mow your grass until after 6pm and I shouldn't have pumped gas at 10am this morning but didn't realize the warning was in effect. 

Etta Sue--2.79 is up?  ours went DOWN to 3.00!

just been to care home, Beth's problems continue to multiply........   another round of doctor appts for her upcoming.

I hope the trip will give me time to heal, shouldn't be doing much while on a trip!  Be home on Monday.

Yes Etta Sue 13 puppies!  At least they are not all in my home.  Had them to the vet today and had the tails clipped.  It sounds so mean but when you see the damage of an injured tail....well this is more humane.

Janet take care.  YOu need to give yourself time to heal, and for once look after Janet and not everyone else.  Larry stay cool.  If you have air conditioning keep it going and stay inside, away from the polution.

Karma that is great news from your pastor.  There was rejoicing in heaven!

Marilyn I prayed about the fast, and like Karma I don't feel God leading that way.

This has been a quiet day.  The girls are staying with friends and so it is just mom and I. 

Well I am off for a while, I may be back tonight.
Love JudyB

Judy that's cool. We are fasting for the churches. There are so many churches dealing with so many problems these day and we felt led to do a fast not only for the churches but to see what God would have us to do about it.  He seems to be telling us to stop complaining and DO something about it. So we are seeking HIM. It would be hard for anyone to fast if you are fasting just to fast, you have to have a goal to fast for.

My Internet was off most of the day from what I could figure out. I couldn't get on at all this morning and it was back when I got home about 2:30.

I had about 3 -4 inches cut off my hair today to get rid of all the dry ends. It feels and looks great now. It was getting so straggly looking.

I am trying a new Chocolate product I ran across. It is dark chocolate and one of the things is does is help a person to lose weight as well as all the other benefits of dark chocolate. It is even good for diabetics because it has no sugar in it  but has the same sweeteners as Splenda. I read that pure chocolate (Cocoa) has no caffeine in it. I didn't know  that. It tastes so good. MMMMM. I love it.
TTYL

   Good evening to all.   Hope you are all well.  Could you please pray for a couple that I have known for a long time.  His name is Ernie and he has Terminal cancer and he has one fantastic attitude towards his medical problems.  His wife is Helen and she is actually my old girlfriend from when I first came to Canada so we have kept our friendships up for many years.  Today the Holy Spirit helped me to send an email to them today regarding there lives towards the Lord. 
So this is my prayer request that they will think very seriously about making a decision for the Lord.  Praise the Lord for this oppertunity to witness to them.   
We will be travelling this coming weekend for a wedding and for a baby dedication so lots of driving so also ask for safe driving on the
roads.

Judy B:  Wow that is a lot of dog's.  How are you keeping hope that your health is good.

Marilyn:  That is wonderful what you are doing at your church I would have a hard time fasting.   The Lord will bless you for this.

My wife just came into the office to tell me that the house accross from my sister-in-laws. was broken into and she had actually seen the person trying to get in.  So she is a single mum who lost her hubby to cancer and she asked for prayer as she is very upset and worried as he saw her .  Her name is Dolly.

Thanks for the contiued prayer and God Bless.

Etta Sue, i read that you said i had a good work standard.... this has been a "forced issue" or maybe its just me growing up.... i'm almost done with school and got major promotions when i transfered stores this last time... however its kinda getting to wear the bosses take advantage of me sometime i end up doing most of their work (well the only boss i have right now) being the assistant manager is kinda a crazy position i've decided u have to listen to the complaints of the employees and relay them to the RGM however the RGM tells me to tell them to be quiet (sometimes thier complaints are bogus) but then you also have to know what the RGM does to be able to fill in for them when they are gone...and this week i've done just about everything that has to be done... Inventory, scheduling, packet to the main office in liberal so anyways what i'm getting at i guess in a long winded way is that i had to be responsible for work because i can't tell the employees they ahve to be there if i don't show up on time in uniform when i'm scheduled (no double standards) anyways i'm off to be early morning tomorrow... ttyl

Yes, Sarah, you are growing up.  I've seen lots of changes since I first met you several years ago.  Good for you!

We are ready to leave, but first have to get my bandage changed.  It is unraveling and dropping wads of icky gauze wherever I go.    Then have to go to therapy, then we hit the road. 

See you all about Tuesday.  Try to behave while I'm away. 

Have a safe trip Janet.

Good Morning one and all. I have myself all ready to go to work. I still have to have my breakfast, put Bebe inthe car then come back in and feed Happy. They have had no food or water since 8:30 last night. I can't feed one and not feed the other. Bebe is going to the Vet this morning to have her teeth cleaned etc that I already told you about.

I went to another Chocolate party last night and learned a lot more about the benefits and such. If anyone wants to know more email me and I will send you a link to the website.

All is well with my job, I am loving this one.

TTYL

   Marilyn, you are fasting, but going to chocolate parties?!    

Morning y'all!

Samantha this week I am fasting only one meal per day. That is my lunch meal. It is not a chocolate party like you would think. I wasn't eating chocolate.

Marilyn ~ That sounds like the same chocolate that my DIL was selling.  Xocia or something like that.  I don't think she is selling it anymore....too many in the area selling it. 

Gord ~ I will pray for Ernie and Helen.  I have always said, it is never too late to accept Christ as your Savior.  But it may be too late if you don't.  (Meaning you could die first)

Sarah ~ I repeat...you have a great work standard.  You are young and with all that responsibility you will thrive in your later years.  And after your college education, I predict you will soar!  When I grow up, I want to be just like you!!

Janet ~ Have a great trip to St. Louis.  Never heard...is this a pleasure trip or a work trip or a mission trip?  Will you get to do fun things?  Botannical gardens, zoo, the Arch, baseball game, Grant's farm?

Samantha ~ Good morning to you, too.  Yeah, Marilyn fasting but having chocolate.  I could fast like that!!

Not much planned for today other than normal things.  Just trying to keep cool.  Suppose to get to 97° today!!  Suppose to be the same tomorrow but Friday, Saturday and Sunday it is to cool down to 90°!!  I just looked at my weather bug.  It is 89.9° right now with a heat index of 94° and humidity is 62%.  That sounds muggy out there.  The kind of weather you need to carry a towel to dry off after your humidity shower. 

Etta Sue that is exactly what it is XOCAI Healthy Chocolate.

Sarah WOW such a level head and maturity.  You are a good example to those you work with.  Keep up the good work!

Janet enjoy your time away.  Only do what the physio says so you don't reinjure your arm.  Father take care of Janet and Daryl as they travel, give them your protection while they are gone.

Yes Marilyn I could fast like that!  Only one problem I can't eat chocolate, really bad results when I do.

Morning Etta Sue, Samantha, and everyone else.

We have a break in the heat.  There is a good breeze blowing and it is really nice outside.  I am off to buy more chicken food, Boy do they eat!   One bag only lasts 2 days.  A bag is about 45 lbs. or so (25KG) I think.

Have a good day everyone.
JudyB

Wow!  $2.75 and $3.00.  I wish.  Here the lowest is $3.25.

     Hi to all.   I amglad that we do not have to pay that much for gas in a Canadian dollar.  You guys in the states are still getting your gas cheaper as there is two different gallon measurement's.
So you still get more for your money.

Marilyn:   It must be nice to be able to eat this chocolate.

Pat:  How are you I hope that you are well and taking it easy.  Look after yourself. talk to you .  Sis.

The couple that I told you about last night.  I did get an email back from her and she told me that she was baptized by emersion and that she knows something is not right in her life and she also told me that the thing that is missing she know's her sister had this.  So I pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to Ernie and Helen and that I will be able to contiue to be a witness to them.   THANKS.  Gord.
