Christian Photographers Community

Hi everyone.  Just have a minute or so to write this morning and hopefully can get back later and write a little more.

Welcome to joemoses53.

Sonja, certainly sorry to hear about the stroke your brother suffered and will be praying for him.  Hope Troy has a good trip to his meet.  Is your family still going to be able to attend the event as you planned?  Sonja, I do have a meter that works on my steps.  However, I don't use it as it is posted that 15 laps around the gym is a mile.  What I want to get is a lap counter as I am now using my fingers to keep track of the laps walked.  

Pat, glad you had a safe trip and I saw your message on SeniorNet that your dental student spoke of light at the end of the tunnel.  Sure that was music to your ears.

Marilyn, certainly glad to see you are home and feeling well but am certainly concerned when you spoke of using the vacuum cleaning as that is very hard on a person.  Please don't undo the good that has been done.  

I am getting ready to fix lunch but wanted to come in here and read what you all have been posting.

We will be leaving here to go to Cheyenne at 5:30 or 6:00.  Depends on what time Mike is able to get off.

I better get for now.  Mike is due home in 30 minutes.  Have a good day everyone!

Soni

SONJA:
Yes, they were some really great cars on display.  I drive dealer trades for a Ford dealer, so I don't need to spend much time in the Dors Area.

Lotsa concept cars...BUT also lotsa people.

Personal Life: Alone With God

And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His
disciples.  
--John 6:3

Just prior to this miraculous multiplying of the bread and fish, Jesus
"went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples"(6:3). That
fact is noteworthy. It seems plain that Jesus withdrew purposely from
the great press of people who had been pursuing Him.

There are some things that you and I will never learn when others are
present. I believe in church and I love the fellowship of the
assembly. There is much we can learn when we come together on Sundays
and sit among the saints. But there are certain things that you and I
will never learn in the presence of other people.

Unquestionably, part of our failure today is religious activity that
is not preceded by aloneness, by inactivity. I mean getting alone
with God and waiting in silence and quietness until we are charged
with God's Spirit. Then, when we act, our activity really amounts to
something because we have been prepared by God for it....

Now, in the case of our Lord, the people came to Him, John reports,
and He was ready for them. He had been quiet and silent. He had sat
alone with His disciples and meditated. Looking upward, He waited
until the whole hiatus of divine life moved down from the throne of
God into His own soul. He was a violin tuned. He was a battery
recharged. He was poised and prepared for the people when they came.  
Faith Beyond Reason, 130,133.
   
"Lord, I'll spend a lot of time in the company of people today, but
just now I come in quietness and silence to wait for You to fill
me. Amen."

Just a quick hello for all of you

What I want to get is a lap counter as I am now using my fingers to keep track of the laps walked.  

When i used to work out at the gym regularly  , I found that carrying pennies worked.  If i wanted to do 15 laps, I would wear shorts with pockets, and with every lap, I would put a penny from one pocket to another.  Another idea is to get a matchbook and with every lap, simply fold one match down.  Generally cheaper than lap counters.  


IT'S FRIDAY.  WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!

I hope all of ya'll have a wonderful evening and weekdend.  

HI all where is our Pat? Pat oh Pat where art thou?

One of the girls who stayed to take care of the dogs just called to check up on me and told me that all the food they left in my fridge was for me WOWwhat a surprise.

My fridge hasn't been that full in years and that  is the truth> I have a whole bbq'ed chicken , salad makings  4lb brick of cheddar cheese. etc. etc. And this is from two 18 year olds. I am awe struck. I have never been treated so nice by anyone before. You may find that hard to believe but it is true.

that's all for this time I just wanted to share the good news with my family>

I'm going to Marilyn's for supper.  Who do I need to pick up on the way/???

As the old song said "Come on a my house" you young'uns may not remember that one. Doris Day sang it.

Oh Marilyn, this is it...

"The Fruits" of the spirit.  Thank-you Lord Jesus for touching hearts towards dear Marilyn.

LuV U Sis.
Glad you are home.
God Bless, Jenny.

I am out of here.

I won't be back till Sunday night.  I hope you all can get along without me.  

It will take us 4 hours to get to Cheyenne, so we could use some to get there safely.  Thanks so much.

 
Love
Soni

Sonja, I am so sorry to hear about your brother's stroke.  Hopefully he will make good improvement.  I had a stroke about six years ago and my right side was effected.  But now I am doing fine with just that feeling that my arm and leg have gone to sleep.

Pat, I have always loved the song, "I must tell Jesus."  Thanks for sharing it.

Ria, I am sorry to hear about the teacher who was shot by a student.  It is sad to see violence like this and innocent people being killed for no reason at all.  We have had a lot of this in America.  I am hoping it will not happen again.

Ed, yes that is the idea.  Keep reading and then read it again.  And when you read ask God to help you understand.  "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.  But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind."  (NIV)

Sarah, good luck in your game tonight.  And remember that what is important is not whether you win or lose but how you play the game.

Janet, you are going to Honduras?  Cornelia and I went to Guatemala for a month a few years ago.

Etta Sue, I had not heard you should not defrag XP and I did it a few weeks ago.  It didn't cause any problems for me.  People at the congregation where we worship are very generous with their giving.  We have about a thousand present most Sundays.  Our budget last year was over a million and a half and our giving went over the budget.

Marilyn, it is good to see you today.  I hope you can get rid of that catheter.  You have so much food in the fridge we may all show up for dinner.

Judy B., your story reminded me of an uncle who used to ask us which we would rather have a nickel or a dime.  I remember his saying, "The nickel is bigger."

Karmat, we go to Florida every spring for a month.  I swim every day.  I have a bowl full of shells and each lap I take a shell out.  That way I can keep up with the laps.

--- Papa John              <)))><<

Hi Pat.....It was interesting seeing the blackbird who could see his breath in that cold morning!  Thank you for the devotional this morning.   It is good to get alone with the Saviour and wait at His feet.

Sonja....Sorry to hear about your brother.   What an awful thing.     I will surely be praying for him.

Hi Ruth Ann....I have 3 sons also.    It is so good when they all get together.   My 3 sons all have different personalities.   Which is amazing when you think about it.  They all come from the same mother and father and yet are different from each other.   Hope your sons have a wonderful time together.

Nita,   I'm so happy to hear that depression has lifted.   Isn't it wonderful the way the Lord makes Himself known to us in little ways and big ways and if we ask to feel His presence, He will give it.    God Bless

Hi Jenny....I love lavender also.    I have a vanilla candle in my bedroom.    I light it at night and love the smell also.

Hi Ria... You have rain and we have snow and cold.    Oh well,  spring is just around the corner.

Eddie....What you might do if you don't understand a part of the scripture is get an NIV version or the Living Bible which is a little easier.  Look there to the portion you have trouble with and sometimes the answer pops up.

Janet..  Have a great time in Honduras.   God Bless

Etta Sue...I know what it's like to have cats running and chasing each other around.   Especially when the weather is cold outside.   They are wonderful company though.

Marilyn....So glad you are feeling better.  Get lots of rest though.   Don't overdo it.

Judy....Interesting, funny story.

Chris,   I enjoyed your devotional.    It is true nothing takes the place of being in the presence of the Saviour.

Papa John.....God bless you.


Love Ruthie

Well, here I am, Marilyn!

I've been resting a lot today.  Then I took a friend to the store.  It was so cold out there.

I wanted to do some other errands but I just hurried home into the warmth.

Etta Sue, here's a URL for you to have a look at.  I don't have Windows XP but this tells you about defragging with it.  http://thepcyoubuy.com/scandiskXP.htm

What an interesting post, Ruthie!


It's so good to see you all posting.  Let's encourage the ones who have registered but never posted to come in and get to know us.

Talk to you in awhile.

I sure will be missing Janet and Soni!  But I hope that they have a wonderful time while they are away.

ruthie, Pat Scott, Larry Hanna [/size]



Look who's online.      Welcome


Love Ruthie

I'm just "skipping" to page 4 here to say Hi and Bye.  I feel chilly.,so I'm going to snuggle down into my bed with the electric  mattress warmer!

But... I did want to tell Sonja that I will be praying for her brother.... and for you and your family too, dear Sonja!

all my love and prayers..... Judy (((hugs)))

Oh... Papa John:  Where would I find that scripture verse you mentioned in your previous post??... thanks... - Judy

Jeanne: you always make each welcome so unique and beautiful.

Pat how are you feeling?

Hello Ruthie, Nita, Jane,  Lee,Larry Al, Chris Iain, Margit Jenny, Ria, Karma, Nards, (mieka, Janet and Soni are traveling) I know I have left out some, let me see now, Judy Mc, Judyb,Ruth,Kathy, Liz, Ruth Jen, Paulette, Sue, Rachelle, ok that's all  can remember right now and that was pretty good. Dontcha think?

Well I have started tearing strips for the quilt top, I am going to sew the strips together and then cut squares. Actually I think this would be a duvet since it is going to cover a comforter than is getting thin.

Time to get off again before mhy back and shoulder start huting, I have discovered that Ibuprophen works the best for the pain.

Marilyn, thanks for your comments about the welcome graphics I post.  I have quite a few templates and like to vary them.  

We made it today!  It got up to +5 this afternoon - for a few minutes.  We're heading into a slightly milder time and then it starts back down again next Wednesday or Thursday with more below zero temps.  But that's OK.  The days are getting a little longer and when the sun shines it has a little more warmth to it and the Lord has provided us with a snug little trailer - and plenty of blankets.  

I just had to come on to ask Marilyn (me being one of the older 'uns) if you're sure it was Doris Day who sang, "Come on a my house".   I'm hearing Rosemary Clooney.  I hadn't thought of that song in a long, LONG time. haha    I have a big pot of fresh vegetable soup, so I could bring that.  I was going to make it last night, but decided on today.   If I see you on the road, Karma, shall I stop and pick you up?

Pat, snuggle down and stay warm.  I was glad to read that you were actually resting.

Jeanne, glad that you have a nice warm place too......and plenty of blankets.

 Judy, you too, honey.  I didn't realize I was telling so many to stay warm.  Lots of cold weather everywhere.  I hope your chilliness goes away when you get a snuggly with your electric mattress warmer.  It's not cold at all where I am.  I almost feel guilty. haha   I just saw on the news that it was 71 today in Phoenix, where my oldest daughter is.

 Hi dear Ria.  I really like the little encouraging poems you post.  I'm so sad to hear that there is violence in the schools there now.  Violence seems to be over the whole earth.  It just gets worse, doesn't it?    Our God and Father is still on the throne, and He has always known these days would come.  I always pray for our kids everywhere.  Keep warm!

  Hi Ruthie!  

   Have a great trip Soni and Janet.  I guess you're gone already?

   My grandaughter, Angel, is wanting me to listen to her new CD with her, so gotta go and check it out.  Have a blessed weekend everyone.
 

 

Want to go to the Dentist with me?

Judy, is this the verse you were asking about?




James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

Have finished reading today's posts and feel so happy to be back on-line again.  Surely did miss CP the past while...

The kids went to Victoria today and I did housework and organized a few things.  Still getting settled in my new home.  Feels strange after 13 years in another home.  Sort of like being in Limbo...not certain where I really belong yet.

Wendy keeps bringing me down food as she seems to be afraid I won't eat if left alone.  Nice to have company on a regular basis...tho' does feel a little strange.

They left that 'darn cat' Perkins in the Family Room to toast his whiskers by the gas heater.  He simply loves that heater and either sits and stares at it or curls up in his bed and sleeps with great contentment.  I have been up to check on him and he gives a meow and more or less tells me to 'get lost.'  Wendy thinks that he is getting Senile in his older years as he now goes places once feared to tread.  Like the Living Room or Ralph's office.  I said that he can't obey the rules if he can't remember them!  Can certainly relate to that!

I am going to e-mail you a couple of pictures Pat.  Hope they turn out.  Will study about posting them myself when this tiredness passes.  Suddenly feel every day of my  many birthdays.    Gad...how the years do fly.

Have purchased 'The Purpose Driven Life' and will start on it next week.  Looking forward to learning what everyone is talking about.  

So good to read your posts Papa John.  I get much comfort out of what you write.

Also a thanks to Fast Eddie for the Christian Sites.  I checked and they are great.  

Will close now and see about trying to get the pictures e-mailed.  Also must go and check on the cat.  He looks so innocent.  Oh, the kids are home.  Can forget about him now!!

God Bless and pleasant dreams.  Liz.

Hey, Liz...  I'm so happy to see you posting.  No lurking allowed zone here!  LOL

I wanted to tell you I saw your granddaughter online earlier but I don't think she posted.

Isn't this a good thing to do?  Let's all make a practice of Kneeling at the Cross...

We have been staying away from the computer - awaiting several phone calls.  

I bought three new study books at a newly-opened Christian Book Store and will tell you about them later - no time this day with company & other errands.  

Nita:  Are you serving veggie soup?  I could eat that for breakfast....  Save some for me.  

Sonja must be nearing Cheyenne now and I hope that it doesn't snow there as there will be some snow in the foothills tonight.  

Carol

Well it is finally warmer up here in the frigid north.  It is only minus 18*C not minus 30 plus.  There seems to be a warm streach coming from the west and we are in line for it.  I certainly hope so.  I was speaking to a friend and she was saying her wood furnace wasn't able to keep up either.  This cold is just to penetrating.  A lot of people are having their water pipes freexe up, Doug was out to his in-laws tonight to thaw water pipes for them.  We had that problem last year and Heather's hubby worked on them for us.

Well I am off to bed, I have praise team tomorrow and Melaura may be taking over for a friend who is sick.  We will know for sure about that tomorrow.

Night all
JudyB

Time to lock the door.

Glad to hear that you're a bit warmer up there, Judy.
