I am tired but it is a good tired.  Nancy and Walter are great people.  I can't believe the progress he has made in two years since his stroke.  He is suppose to be a vegetable according to his doctors but the man walks by himself, feeds himself, and talks too!  It was very windy today and spitting snow coming and going.  We made great time...two hours to get there, two hours there, and two hours getting back to their house.  Then the total of an hour and twenty-minutes for my driving my car....so I am tired. 

A friend that graduate in 1960....same as me...let me burn 4 CD's.  Hit songs for my Freshman year, Sophomore year, Junior year and Senior year.  A total of 113 songs!  I love them!  Listening to 'Sugartime' by The McGuire Sister right now...a #1 hit during my Sophomore year! 

Also, I forgot to mention that a lady had a flat tire at the end of my brother's drive this morning.  Noticed it when I took my trash out.  Well, she came here and I let her call her son.  A very nice lady...a Christian.  I know where she lives and works but didn't know her. 

Two good samartian deeds done today.  I am jazzed!!

  Hi ms Etta Sue      I think it is most wonderful to help others when you can. I am happy you do it.  (I like the blink dog)

Hi Ms Nita !!!    How fun top see you.  I am on a boat for some weeks now but it is not a cruise ship. It is only a big boat.  It is my hope if I can be home next week. 

HI Ms Jane EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee  And you are a blessing to me and I so love you. 

Hi ms Anna, the banana smiley is a giggle to see.  It is very nice to meet you here.

Hi Ms McKenna  It is SO fun to see you here. I pray you are in a good health. 

Hi Mr Moak   

Hi Papa John
1   The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
2   The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

It is my hope SO many times if ones I love will find God.  I am sad of it so many days.  Some seek with all of heart and still do not find.  I know it is Gods promise that ones who seek will find him.  Why ever does it take so long for some.  How can they do Gods work if he will take so long to find for some.    I only do not undarstand it. 

I wish for you all a very happy day. 

Hey there MIEKA!!    I love you and seeing you here is added blessing to my day. 

God bless everyone who comes here today and I pray God will bless your day with Him....

See y'all later .....

Good Morning It is 57 * right here at my desk this morning. My heater won't go on so I have to call the Landlord this morning and see if they will get out here today to fix my heater. Needless to say I am cold this morning.

I only work 1/2 day today through Saturday. That will be a treat for me and give me a chance to do some more stuff around here. I do wish Gilbert would get over her to move this stuff for me so I can finish my unpacking.

Etta Sue thank you for the devotional today. I had just read that in my own Bible time this morning.

Tonight I am being a hostesss at a Mary Kay class for my friend Patty to try to earn some stuff for myself. Versal and her daughter who are related to Patty have already ordered some stuff that will go toward my class.

Mieka - the problem with those who take a long time seeking but do not find God is that they aren't really seeking God!  We often merely seek what we WANT from God, but we do not seek Him with the idea that we will obey Him, repent before Him, and seek to truly live a life under His lordship.  It requires a work of God's Spirit to move people to TRULY seek Him.  Often you and I don't know the hearts of those who supposedly "seek" Him.  If we could see from God's perspective, we would realize that they aren't TRULY seeking Him, but are only seeking a god of their own making.  To truly seek Him, we must bown before Him, allow His lordship over us in life, and admit our sin to Him.

Our circumstances are not an accurate reflection of God's
goodness. Whether life is good or bad, God's goodness, rooted in
His character, is the same.

God Bless you all this morning !!

It looks to be a busy day shaping up here in CP!  That's great!

I pulled my left hip flexor muscle this morning, so Kristi told me STOP, and had me do several different stretches to alleviate the pain.  She warned me that it will try to protect itself by contracting, and to do the stretches often today, and drink water water water!!!

The guys got the gas line fixed to the trailer, I have called for the inspector to come check it; then they can get the furnace going and I can get the painting done.  Oh, will I ever be glad when this job is FINISHED!!  

My ladies all have other plans today than painting, so that means I have the afternoon to paint ceilings instead of canvases.  

Mieka!!  So good to see your happy post again!  I love you, girl!  You are such a ray of sunshine and a blessing to my life! ((((((many hugs))))))

Gotta get moving, hip is trying to lock up---can't allow that!

  Aawww Ms Janet.  I love you 

Mr Moak, I have a  puzzelhead now about what is to seek God.

I did think it is to look for Him.  In the flowers and the new leaves and in all that is good.  To seek is not to look for him at all? And to find him in all that is a wonder? 

To seek, it is to follow the teaching and obey the word of God?

Is it correct?  I did not ever think of seek in this way. 



Hi ms Tbear 

  Hi ms Geri-Jean 

Hi Everyone!

How are you all?  It's trying to   here but it's not rain, it's snow!  What wind and the howling is something else.

I have company coming so I have a lot of work to do.

I'll drop in later.

Love you, Mi! 

Hi Mieka! It's wonderful to meet you!  

Thankful to be home after a long and busy day at work... on the go since 8am.  Lovely to be here and relax!


Have a wonderful and beautiful day everyone!

Time to sing!

Did anyone watch the TV earlier which the pilot struggled to land his plane with no landing gear at Atlanta, Georgia?

What a time.  I was glued to the TV and I was certainly praying for that pilot and then to see a "text book" landing with no wheels was just amazing and no fire.

Pat those pilots have so much practice in the flight simulators that when an emergency arises they just do what has become so natural for them to do and they do it perfectly. I am told that all you have to do is listen to the voices on the black boxes and how calm those pilots are during the emergency. But I agree with you that it is so awesome to see how perfectly they do it.

Mieka you have a puzzlehead Is it all in pieces for us to put back together then we will see you with a whole head. 

The maintenance guy will be here in about 1/2 hour to see what is wrong with my heater. I got home at 11:30 and hurried to get the floors clean before he comes. The dogs had been sliding around on the kitchen floor with muddy paws and left me a mess.

Aren't those great photos above on the Newsline?  Hope you click on them and let the photographers know how much you like them.

Marilyn, that's so true but still it was nerve wracking and what a great landing it was!


Time to sing again?  What wonderful words in this hymn.

Jesus paid it all back on Calvary's tree for us.

Sing it with me, folks!  I love the piano midi that Larry got for this one.

Mieka - Psalm 14:2 says, "The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.  They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not one."
To seek God is, as you say, to try to find Him,  And indeed He can be found in the beauty and wonder of His creation - but not until God's Holy Spirit gives us the ability, because, ever since Adam, we don't have that ability.  It's the same with study of the Bible - for that, too, we need the help of the Spirit of God.  If we sufficiently desire to find Him, either in nature or in His Word, we may ask Him for that help, and He will indeed give it.  But first we need to admit to Him that we have sinned, that we have lost our ability to know Him, and that we deserve eternal punishment because of our rebellion against Him (to go our own way and ignore Him and His commands entirely).  Having admitted our lostness, we can indeed come and ask Him to save us through His Son's sacrifice on the Cross.  We tell Him we've lost our ability to know Him, ask Him for His grace to know and believe, and, blessedly, He gives it to us.

Without these things, we cannot seek God, and the Psalm I've quoted here tells us that we indeed don't seek Him.  I say these things to you because I very much love you and desire you to be able to seek God and find Him.  I also greatly desire you to be able to help others do so also.

I'm back just for a minute or two.  I got the ceilings in three rooms painted, and I'm sure tired.  That overhead work is hard on the neck, shoulders and arms.  And I am so thankful to my heavenly Father for excellent health that allows me to still work hard.  I will finish it up tomorrow for sure.  The other rooms are smaller, but still there is all the cutting next to the edges.  No easy way to do that.

Mieka, you are a doll!

Pat, I saw just a bit about the plane and pilot before I left, and am so happy he landed safely.  Yes, they do use a simulator some, but the most of their experience is in a real plane.  Mark called home needing another $200.00 to pay the guy who was to go up with him for his test flight to get his private pilot's license.  He is loving every minute of his flying, and I'm tickled to see him so happy.

Tonight is ladies Bible study, and I am so tired and sleepy, it better be good or I might fall asleep on the table......

See you all tomorrow.

I don't know how I missed coming to CP and NEM yesterday. Y'all forgive me - I didn't intend to ignore you.

I'll be driving with my son to Atlanta tomorrow afternoon and returning on Saturday.

Y'all have a good weekend.

Ruth Ann

What a wonderful explanation to our Mieka, Al.  I found it helpful as well.  Thanks!


Yes, Janet, what a landing.  Even the guy who was talking while it happened on CNN (Miles O'Brien who is a pilot) was amazed and said, "TEXTBOOK LANDING!" It was so good to hear that.

Ruth Ann, you travel safely to Atlanta.  How's that foot doing?  Have you been back to the doctor to see if the bones are knitting any better?  I surely hope that they are my dear sister.  You are so special and I want to hear good news.

Well, it's snowing and windy and horrible outside.  I'm waiting for company.  I'll be back a little later.

Love y'all!

Open the door Richard.
Open the door and let me in.
Open the door Richard.
Richard why don't you open that door?

Some one forgot to close the door.

Here I am, Richard, I mean Ed!

I'm very late tonight!  Had company drop in.

Anyway, here's the link to tomorrow's New Every Morning!
