Good morning, all!  Cloudy and chilly here in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains!   

Yesterday I went to my audiologist for my last free cleaning/adjustment.  They're advising a replacement of the five year old hearing aids but I told him I just have to trust the Lord to keep these working. 

Sunday night was a true J night, so I was tired last night and turned everything off early and snuggled down when the night time setting kicked in on the thermostat.  I didn't fall asleep until about 11:00 and woke up again around 2:00 - wide awake until after 6:00 a.m., decided to rest another hour or so and the next thing I knew it was 10:05!!!  I shouldn't need a nap today!   

Larry, the reason you couldn't find Zeeber's post was that Pat had already moved it here.   

Thought the Bible was good--way too many commercials towards the end; don't like the interruptions when you are really getting absorbed in it but that can't be control.
I, too, didn't think the actor playing  Moses was as commanding enough in the role(guess I like Charton Heston better as Moses)

I like how they started the movie; thought they would start with Genesis but found this beginning done very well.

Hope all have seen it by now and I didn't spoil anything for them.
I have free on demand on my cable channel and it's under entertainment, then the history channel so I don't have to tape it...

Best to all

Pat, thanks for copying Smokey's frost picture here.  He also posted another one in our site.  Check it out, folks, HERE

And while you're in the photo topics, there are lots more wonderful pictures from many of our members.

Yes, Larry, the crucifixion scenes in The Passion are heartbreaking!  And when we visited the Holy Land Experience, the re-enactment of the crucifixion was so well done, it was easy to believe it was real.

Joyce, I agree--that guy is no Charlton Heston!  I love the Ten Commandments movie, thought it so well done.  The costumes were so much better, etc.  But I know this series is a labor of love for the Lord by Roma and her husband, so do not want to be too critical of it.  May God bless them for the four years and untold money spent doing it; and may it bring many, many souls to the Lord.

I'm home, but pulled a muscle in my leg, so am having to do special stretches to try to work it out, it hurts!    Well, I am not crying, really. 

I watched  the first episode of the Bible sunday night, I also wen to www.thehistorychannel.com to see several 32minute clips.

   Hi to all.   

Larry.  Thank you for the answer re this procedure and I do hope that you will be able to find out the name.

We have a crazy kind of a day here as the weather is supposed to get warmer and get some clear skies but it keeps on getting cloudy.  Hope you all have a wonderful week.  God bless to you all.  Gordon and Noreen.

    Judy B.  I don't know that song that you just posted but when I played the music I thought I was listening to my mother sitting in the other room playing it.  It has a beautiful lyrics thank you for this.

I still haven't watched 'The Bible'.  I really don't think anyone could tell anything about it to ruin it for me.  I know how it ends!   

Busy day...even for me.  I have been to the pool, got my nails done, ate lunch, got Hawaii oiled and maintained, cashed a check at the bank, and got some supplies at Dollar General.  Took Ivalou her mail.  And the trash is out ready to be picked up in the morning!

The Weather Guessers say we are in for SNOW!  And lots of it.  While getting Hawaii worked on, I looked at the Weather Bug on Droid and just north of me was all pink...snow.  The Weather Guessers said it would hit Indy at 3pm.  It's almost 4pm and still just rain outside! 

Anyway, I have no where to go tomorrow other than Wednesday Night Live tomorrow night.  And if it snows much, that will be called off.

Well folks, sunny California isn't!  At least where am it isn't.  Steady rain and cool sometimesl known as cold. Spoiled?  Yep.

Tonight, wind gusts here are about 40 miles per hour, and snow is blowin' like crazy. I'm so thankful I don't need to go out tonight any more.

Will get to see my trucker son tomorrow again - they're to pass through town about time folks are stretching and turning off the alarm. , so you know who will be turning off the alarm at oh-dark-thirty tomorrow.

Much love to all,
Ruth Ann

Away with those who would seek to coax us to devotion by promising us things other than Christ! His glory alone is sufficient for that work!~Paul Washer

I was looking for the "Like" button after reading Ruth Ann's post!!!  Can you tell I've been on Facebook?

I watched the 1st. part of Bible and liked everything but the violence.  They did skip some things though - I was glad to see the part of Rahab (the woman who hid the two Christians).  What an interesting story about her.  Moses wasn't commanding enough -

Ruth Ann:  Sleep fast tonight and enjoy meeting your son.  I hope he doesn't have to drive through the snow but if he does, I wish him  very safe travel. 

Zeebers:  Hooray!  You are back.  come again very soon.  What a full and vibrant work time you have and it sounds perfect for you. 

Al  Remember the song, Into each life, some rain must fall?  At least I think it was a song.  Don't forget to wear a hat.

Friends came here today and they like to go for the $1.50 slice of pizza, so we did.  It costs forty cents more for pepperoni and the slice is the size of two slices, such a bargain - anyway, they came, ate, and left to go home for a nap.  I had some pounding and physical therapy this morning then the visit and a ten minute snooze so feel better.  There is a pan of brownies here - will share with anyone.   

Another thing about the Bible show--Sarah was VERY BEAUTIFUL, but the woman playing her isn't even attractive!  What's with that?  Surely they could have found one beautiful woman for that part!?!  But, if beauty is in the eye of the beholder.......oh, well.

At our Bible study last night, we talked about this series, and were all in agreement about the Moses character; but also that we pray it will get people to pick up the bible and read the stories for themselves.

My leg is better, and it's time to get to the gym again.  See you later!

If we do not make known all of God's attributes to men, then we do them a great injustice & condemn them to a life of ignorance & idolatry.~Paul Washer

Hi everyone.  It is a chilly, overcast and windy day here in Georgia.  It was 36 degrees when I went to coffee.  I had to fill the car with gas this morning and it was really chilly standing next to the gas pump. I just now got back from a trip to Kroger's and then stopped at the computer repair shop and picked up my desktop computer.  I will put things back in place during the next couple of days.  I am also fixing up Pat's old laptop to be able to send to Mary when she goes home in a couple of weeks.  She doesn't have internet and this will be used basically to play games on.  She is really enjoying doing that on Pat's computer and I just had the old computer sitting in a box. 

Pat continues to make progress each day. We are still awaiting the physical therapy to call and make an appointment to come here.  Stacey did get the new charger for her wheelchair yesterday afternoon and has already been out for a brief time this morning.  This is a different charger than originally came with the chair as they have been having problems with the original ones.  Nothing else on the schedule for today.

Jeanne, I saw that Pat had moved the conversation after I had posted.  Regarding your hearing aids, if they are working why replace them until necessary. I expect it is cold up your way today.

I have written a long post and have read all the postings up to now but will not make individual comment today.  It is about lunch time and then time to rest this afternoon.

Well, the Weather Guessers were right and they were wrong.  Right in that we did get snow.  Wrong in that we didn't get as much as they said we would.  So all is white and good! 

I got a call this morning saying that Wednesday Night Live Bible study is cancelled.  So now I have no where to go today but to the mailbox!! 

Tomorrow I have a blood draw at the hospital.  So I asked Ivalou if she wanted to go with me, then eat breakfast somewhere and then go to Walmart so she can get groceries in.  She said she would think about it.  So I don't know.  I may just be going by myself!

Nothing much more to talk about today.

When I was suppose to be sleeping a funny thought came to mind..I realize I said that I thought Heston played a more commanding Moses but then the thought was why not have Moses be a common man that GOD would come to and bring him his words to follow him and be a leader for his people..

Makes me feel that GOD could come and call anyone of us to be a leader of HIS words ; just a common person someone who everyone can relate to.

Just a thought when I should have been sleeping....

This has been an interesting week.  I had a friend pass away suddenly, a lady who always seemed healthy.  We knew her for over 20 years.  She walked downstairs to her husband complaining of chest pain, Her husband asked if she wanted to go to the hospital, ahe said yes and dropped dead.  So sad as I don't know what her spiritual state was.

We have snow today, house is feeling chilly, however the thermostat is at 70. So I will put on a sweater.

Larry is there a good free spyware program I can download?  Also a pop up blocker?  I have AVG virus protection.

I have an accounting test to do......Not looking forward to that!

Have a great day everyone!

Busy day so far.  First I got my blood draw taken care of with ONE stick!!  I will ask for Erica again! 

Then to Perkins for breakfast.

Then to Walmart.  For someone that only needed Fish Oil capsules and mustard, I sure spent a lot!!  My trunk was full of Ivalou's and my purchases. 

Then home to carry Ivalou's groceries in and then to my drive to carry mine in.  Cat litter sure is heavy!  Now everything is put away and I am in comfy clothes ready for the rest of the day.

Ivalou and I both watched 'The Bible' last night.  If you missed it, look at your guide on the History Channel and if it is about Noah, it's the first of the series.  I enjoyed this episode.  Yes, it was violent but face it, the Bible is full of violence.  And I have pictured Moses being meek and shy...very similar to this Moses.  Remember he stuttered and this Moses, kind of stuttered also.  The one thing I thought was Abraham should have been older...but he did age and did have gray hair when Isaac was born and almost sacrificed. 

Robins...robins...robins.  Spring must be coming to Indiana.  I see 5 robins in my front yard as I am typing!  Fat robins so they are eating something. 

That's it for today!

I just got word from Heather.  She was at the school doctor, and he has said because of the concussion she needs to take an additional 2 weeks off school.  If she does that she will loose her funding and will have to start repaying it immediately.  This mom is concerned.

Thankfully he was able to access the hospital records.  She isn't saying much, I am now wondering if there "WAS" a brain bleed.......

Don is off walking to pick up our vehicle after oil change and new gas cap.  We drove there then walked back here - everything is so close in this town and it sure makes staying here easy.  Of course, today the weather is about perfect.  I am listening to "Killing Kennedy" by O'Reilly and another author.  Facts I never knew.  "Killing Lincoln" was full of new facts as well - am looking forward to the next book. 

JudyB:  So sorry for the dilemna for Heather and for your concern as a mom.   Hugs to you. 

This "Bible" comes on at 10 PM and we have given up here.  We can't record on the service we have so hopefully it will be on tape someday at the library. 

    Good afternoon to all.  We have some sunshine but also some snow flurries and cloud but it is not as cold.     I was a volunteer this morning at the food bank as I do every Thursday and it was a good morning and a little bit harder as my partner that works with me is away so it makes it more work but I managed.  I am grateful to the Lord that I can do this.

Well I have to go to take a lady from our church for an M.R.I. and it is in Niagara Falls at there hospital so it takes a little time to get there so I must go for now.  Please Pray for my daughter in law as she is at the hospital right now and is bleeding since the birth of her new baby 2 months ago today she needs all our prayers.  Her name is Amanda Brown  

God bless will look in after.  By. Gordon. .

Hi everyone.  It is a beautiful and warmer, sunny day here in Georgia.  I have stayed home all day and spent most of it working on setting up the laptop for Mary and also getting my desktop setup as I want it again.  I have had a lot of fun this afternoon finding educational free software for children and putting it on the laptop for Mary.  She has three great grandchildren, the oldest being 7 and the youngest 3.  They spend a lot of time with her.  I have also put a number of games on the laptop for her use.  Pat finally had the physical therapist visit this afternoon and start on the therapy.  This was the same therapist she had before that she really likes. 

Judy, I have used AVG Free with good success.  When I had the desktop fixed this week they loaded AVAST free and that seems to be fine and I also like Microsoft Security Essentials.  I also use Malwarebytes, which I run occasionally.  I also like a program called Advanced System Care and I use the free version.  You might want to go to the KimKomando.com website and check on what she recommends.  She is a very reliable expert and I get her newsletters everyday.  I can understand your worry for Heather.

Gord, sorry to hear that Amanda is having bleeding problems.  Surely the hospital will get the situation under control. 

  I just lost my whole, long post!  Phooey.

I had said we went to get Darrel's surgery staples out, and just got home a bit ago, and a lot of other stuff, but don't want to do it all over.  At least I know what I did wrong this time that made me lose it. 

I came back to say there will be a program on KWCH (Wichita) at 10 tonight about a fellow who has Neurofibromatosis, both 1 and 2.  Just in case any of you can get it and would like to watch it.  I'm sure you know this is what my sweet daughter Beth has.

Oh my friends, may God help us all get our greatest joy from knowing Christ! and not from our performance. God forbid we commit such idolatry!~Paul Washer
