Christian Photographers Community

Happy Anniversary Christian Photograpers[/size]

I have enjoyed so much being on CP over the last few months and I thank Pat for inviting me to register.   Thank you Pat for showing me all the instruction concerning the computer.   

I value the PRAYER REQUEST area and feel it is SO important to pray for each other.

I also love NEW EVERY MORNING with all the interesting posts.

I have had a great encouragement when I post in NEM and such blessing to be able to post some prayer requests about my family and friends.   Thank you everyone who has prayed.

It has been fun putting pictures in the PHOTOGRAPH area.  I don't have a scanner and so I thank Pat for doing that for me. 

Overall Christian Photographers has been a huge success and I will personally pray for GOD'S RICHEST BLESSING in the coming year.

Love Ruthie

Secondly, as a matter of curiosity, what is the connection between all of the original CP'ers.
I have gathered that some of you are related...maybe all of you are.  Some of you are from scattered areas of the US and Canada.

Eddie, I am related to Mullet, Mike, T-bone.  The rest I have met on here.  I have met Etta Sue in person.  She was driving up to Canada and she stopped by to visit and have lunch.  She is an awesome person.  I also met her sister, Iva lou.  She is also very sweet.

Eddie, JudyB is related to me.  She's my sister.  Bonesy is Judy's husband.

Ruthie is my cousin.

The rest are super friends who we've got to know over the years on both SeniorNet and now on this website.

Yes, we now have our THIRD Larry!   

I've got one thing to say about CP:

"Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
Oh come to the Father,
through Jesus the Son.
And give Him the glory -
great things He hath done!"

Yes, we are all related!  We are brothers and sisters in the Lord!  We are family!

Darrel and I now have several blue trees in the yard.  We wrapped them in blue plastic and blue tarps, and are praying for protection against the hard freeze that is predicted for the next two nights.

I need to fix something for a carry-in dinner for my painting group tomorrow.  Any suggestions?  (Yeah, I know--go to In the Kitchen!)

WELCOME, LARRY THE THIRD!   Glad to have you with us!

OK So, Al Moak, let's sing it!

We're expecting a snow fall here too, Janet and today right now is just like a lovely spring day.

WAS IT BROKEN?  (that you had to fix it?)

                               
       
 
HOW TIME FLIES WHEN YOU ARE ON HERE!
WELL DONE PAT.

It isn't so easy (or comfortable) to sit at the computer and type.  I bend over to the right and can move the mouse okay, so that's what I've been doing for a while.

I do want to come party with y'all today, though!  It is really hard to believe this year has gone by already.  Then I look back and marvel that so many events and situations have been packed so tightly into only one year!  So much has happened ... hopefully we have all grown in the Lord and learned to let Him keep us steady.  I so praise Him for how He has kept me close to His heart this year.  I don't ever want to move out of this place of intimacy with Him. 

PAT~You have been an inspiration to many of us--not the least of whom is me!  Thank you for hanging in there when the going got tough, and you were suffering physically...God has been good to you, and to us through you!

FAVORITE QUOTE
One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference
between an inconvenience and a problem. If you break your neck,
if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire -- then
you've got a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Life
is inconvenient. Life is lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in
the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of
lump. One needs to learn the difference.  -- Robert Fulghum

Thanks Chris!  That's so beautiful! 

Yes, Pat, it is broken.  Will you come and fix it?  What do you say, have to make something?  Guess it is a colloquial thing, here we say we are going to fix food.  It needs fixed to be ready for the table, I guess.  Never thought about it. (Smarty pants!)    But I love you, anyway!

Nice to see you, Trish!  You and Jacob have a happy day!

Let's remember too that this is Good Friday...  Maybe this hymn would be nice to sing at this time...

Happy anniversary Pat,

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ALL OF THE CP FOLK.

PAPA JOHN:  Praise the Lord for your return to good health.

Marbeth:  This machine is not all that bad but each of us do learn something new each day so do not be afraid.

Marilyn: You are more adventerous on your computer than me, usually I will pick up the phone and let my daughter Sue talk me through.


It was also wonderful remembering that we had lovely Meika with us last year as well.

QuoteHave you enjoyed looking at each others photographs?

I sure have!

I have enjoyed all of Etta Sues beautiful sunsets and the pictures of Alley, Bubba, and her newest addition to the family (Stinker??)  I can't remember his name right now.

I have enjoyed Pat's cute stories about the baby birds and squirrels. 

I have enjoyed watching Travis grow up.

I have enjoyed seeing Janets paintings and viewing her underwater vacation shots.

I have enjoyed watching Marilyn grow with her photography skills.

I have enjoyed looking at Chris' pictures with scriptures.  They have been an inspirition to me.  I also enjoyed the cards you sent me when life was tough. Thanks!

I have enjoyed the family photos that were posted by all the members and can't forget all the animals too (because they are part of the family too).

I have enjoyed posting my own shots and getting advice, fun comments and I love it when you all say how wonderful my prints are.  That makes my day every time!

       

Thank you Sonja,, if we can encourage you in any way, you just ask, ok?

Thanks Chris!  Now I am getting all teary eyed. 

Hi Ria, my most favorite person from Holland!  I didn't realize you were related to Eddie and Bonsey!

Eddie:  My connection to CP:  Pat is a friend of mine dating back to Our School Bus Driving days with the same company then later I met and became friends with her sister Judy B and her husband John. 

During the last year my daughter Sue joined the CP family as well.

Wow!  We're really dating ourselves, Ruth!  That was 1970 or 1971!!  Jack started driving for Langdon's in 1969 (I think that was the year).

                 Jesus, fill now with Thy Spirit
Hearts that full surrender know;
That the streams of living water
From our inner self may flow.

Happy Anniversary CP,

.... thanks for the welcome Etta it put a huge grin on my face

God Bless each and every one of you.

Now I see what the connection to the original CP'ers is.....either Senior Net or Relatives.

I also see that I have been elevated up from NEWBIE...it only took 50 postings.  Maybe after another 50 postings, I will have started using all of the tools that are available.

It tells me that a whole lot of work goes into maintaining this site....something that I don't have the patience for learning how to set up, even use.

No, not all SeniorNet or relatives.  Many have come to us from Google and some from various photo sites as well.

There was a site also called "Christian Photography" and the original owner decided to shut it down very quickly and that's when I decided to open "Christian Photographers" and many came from that other site, Ed.
