In which book of the Bible do we find the verse:
"...for God did send me before you to preserve life."

1) Daniel
2) Esther
3) Genesis
4) Luke[/b][/size][/color]

Morning Devotional...


And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper.
1 Samuel 17:20


The keeper is unknown to us.

Yet, had he not faithfully tended the sheep, David would not have been free to accomplish his exploits in the Valley of Elah.

Perhaps we won't be the one to do "great" things for God ourselves, but our faithfulness in the "small" things (Mt. 25:21, 23) may release others who can.

Some day, when the whole story is told, we will rejoice together.

OH wow, sarah.  congrats.  I used to enjoy the last few days of school so much.

I hope everyone is doing great.  I have just now finished reading Sunday's posts.  Didn't quiet make it through all of Saturday's, I don't think.

What is a dessert auction (I told you I didn't get them all read)?  That sounds like something I would be interested in!


I gotta get to bed.  I've been working on some pictures now until my eyes are crossing.  We have some friends who are bluegrass musicians, and they are getting ready to make a new CD.  They let me take the picturs for it, and I am trying to get them ready to burn on a CD so they can look at them.  I sure am glad I am not trying to make a living at this. >o o<     <----karmat's eyes crossing

Have an awesome week ya'll.  It looks like another super busy one here, but I'll try to get in.

Take care

Thanks, Pat.  I think hugs are what I need.  Boy, food poisoning is NOT fun.  I feel so weak and wrung out today I can barely drag.  But I will get better!

I hope you all have a great Monday!

Ohhhh, Sarah!  I remember my last few days at school!  What fun!  But you are much earlier getting out than our schools up here for sure.  Our schools go right into mid June.

Well I finally finished reading all the posts from yesterday.  Won't try to reply to them, though.  Yesterday went well, though tiring.  We drove 120 miles up to the little area called Pistol River, I preached, then the little group had midday meal together, then drove back down.  It's a very, very small group.  I've wondered a time or two if it's really worth it for me to go up there.  Sometimes I think it would really be better if they went to another church in the nearest town, which is only 15/20 minutes away.  Lord, give me wisdom to know what to do.  I only go up there about once every 2/3 months anyway.  Someone in the group ministers on the other Sundays.

MY  GOAL

In whatever i say,
in all that i do,
let my goal always be
to help others see You.

Ria, you get the best little poems!  I just appreciate this one so very much.  You should post it in the topic that Joyce opened in Manna For The Soul.  It goes right along with what she was saying.

Quote from: Al Moak on May 17, 2004, 09:38:16 AM

It's a very, very small group.  I've wondered a time or two if it's really worth it for me to go up there.
 

Al, this reminds me so much of some of the very small churches that Jack used to go and preach in to help them out.  It was a long drive there but my how they appreciated Jack going to them.  It was worth it. 

I just looked and saw that we have NINE guests on line!


And there are no answers to our little quiz up above??

The answer to the quiz is Genesis in the story of Joseph.  Well, I didn't look it up this time but I think this is correct.

Another cloudy day here with a chance of rain later today.

For the past several Sunday nights, Chris, our preacher has given us lessons from Psalm 103.  It is a wonderful Psalm which tells us about God's love.

Ps 103:8-14
8   The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
9   He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10   he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
11   For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
12   as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13   As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
14   for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
(NIV)

Yep!  You're right, Papa John!    It's in Genesis 45:5  "Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life."

Psalm 103 is a favourite of mine as well, Papa John.  In fact it was also a favourite of my father's as well and he has as his licence plate on his car, "PSA 103"

Hi everyone - its 4 in the afternoon here and i've just popped in to read todays posts.

Ruth Ann - i do hope you are feeling better soon and the dizzyness stops.

Janet - i also hope you get over your food poisoning quickly.

I shall pray for you both.

As for me i'm not any worse and have even had a few restful hours today.

Enjoy the day - speak again soon
love from chris

Good Morning: This morning I am going to work on some more PSP lesson. There is no WM's today If there was there would only be 2 of us.

Thank you Pat for the devotional. You alway find just the right one for each day.

Ria thank you for you little poem today and each day. You are so thoughtful to put them in each day.

Janet. I am so sorry that you got food poisoning at Sonic. ow awful. Are you going to report that to them to let them know that you got sick?

I have been invited to gotoa Revival this week at the United Pentecostal church in Eureka. One of the young ladies at church is going to take me and her mother. I'm not sure what night but it will be this week.

Hi chris, nice tosee you posting today. Come back soon. Still praying for you.

TTYL

Pat Thanks for the devotional.

Al when are you coming to Ontario to one of our churches, I would be one of the guests coming to listen.

Pat:  I remember Judy  telling me about your Dad's licence plates.

Ruth Ann:   Do get well

Janet:  Do get well food poisoning is no fun. When I was little our whole family had it and I do believe mother ended up being the worst.  In fact all of us had to see the Doctor.

Ria: Nice reading your posts as well.

My printer is acting up so I must go the the shop and see if I will get it repared or purchase a new one.  What I would really like is a 3 in one unit but cost is the reason right now and even at that I am not sure what make to even consider purchasing,


Blessing and have a great day.

Ruth

Chris, what a joy to see you popping in here and posting.  I'm glad that you had a few hours rest and I'm sure that as I told you about when Jack had his out, it was about Day 7 or 8 that he started to be able to tolerate the pain more easily so you're on Day 7 now, right?

Good day all!

Can't stay long.  Lila Mae has a dentist appointment at 11:00. 

Be back later

Hi everyone,
It's a beautiful sunny day here in Kansas today. Those cute air freshner plugs my dh bought for our house make it smell so wonderful. I almost thought I smelled fresh apple pie this morning. LOL. Makes me want to bake.
Jason has a conference call at work this morning. Pray for our friend Barbara who put her back out and is in a lot of pain. I feel so bad for her.

Janet- I hope you feel better soon and get over your food poisioning quickly.

Ruth Ann - i do hope you are feeling better soon and the dizzyness stops.

The boys are playing today. I taught Dalton how to count to 100 (surprisingly he didn't need my help much) and then we worked on shapes. Karsten and I have to work on reading and math today and then we should be caught up.
It's hard because sometimes with my bad days I just want to take time off and now I have to make up for that. LOL.

Anyway, not sure what to cook for dinner tonight, just maybe something with chicken.

Have a great day all.

Hugs,
Shawnee

Hey, al of ya!  I've been pretty slammed with work this morning, but I finally got a lunch break   Sure hope everybody has a good day. 

I have the sweetest wife.  She puts up with me when I'm a real pain

Hopefully I'll be back later, but no guarantees!

Nard

Shawnee Check out our Kitchen  thread there are some great Chicken recipes in there. There are many other recipes too.

I am just stopping for a few minutes before I leave for work. Going to Fay's today. In fact I am there 6 days a week now for 3 hours each day. Then at Bea's 2 days a week for however loong it takes to get things done and take her where she needs to go. 

Sooooooo I will make like a tree and leaf.

TTYL

I am late today but I knew if I got online early, I wouldn't get much done today.  Jerry and I mowed the yard...we moved some stepping stones....we moved some edgers....I did some weed eating...Jerry cleaned the area between the planter and the front window....I cleaned the picture window...I gave 2 skids to the sod farmer...I took some pictures...I sprayed some Roundup...Jerry cleaned the A/C drain and swept the garage...I fixed lunch..I fixed some Magic Cookie Bars...Jerry is taking a nap.

That's what we have done so far.  I think I am done in more ways that one!!! 

Janet ~ I feel for you.  I got food poisoning while in Hawaii...I was down one day but I wasn't going to let it stop me from seeing Hawaii!!!  Sure isn't fun!!!

Ruth Ann ~ I am sure praying that your dizzy spells stop!!!!

God Bless You All!!!!

"A pessimist has no starter, an optimist has no brakes."

Hi everyone.  For some reason this has been a very busy day and I am just now getting here to read messages.  I am worn out so am just going to write a couple of things and then post some photos I worked up a few minutes ago.

Janet, sure sorry to hear of the food poisoning.  I have never had that but my poor wife and grandmother had it in July in Oklahoma back in 1964 when we were expecting our daughter.  Pat had been basically ordered to stay in bed as was having some problems and my grandmother had come to stay with us to help with our baby son.  We had over 30 days of 100 degree weather and we had no air conditioning back then.  Needless to say it was a memorable time for us all (in a most unpleasant way).

Karmat, a dessert auction is one where you go and pay $5 each to enjoy a dessert of your choice.  Then there were many items dontated mainly by members of the congregation plus the youth selling services such as babysitting or yard work as a fund raiser.  They were having both a silent auction and a regular bid auction.  The trip is going to cost around $10,000 and this is a major fund raising event to help the youth on their mission trip. 

Judy, it is good to see you posting again and to read that your arm isn't as painful. 

Please forgive me for not commenting to each person today but that is going to have to wait for another day.

Nice to hear from you Larry!

Come on folks!  We're only on page 2 and it's supper time here in Ontario!  LOL  Will we fill up page 3?  HAHAHA

Here's a lovely chorus....  Let's make sure that our eyes are turned toward Jesus...
