Diana_g, DougPaz, iggy386, Joyce Robson, lhall,

Something to talk about...[/font]

I wondered if we could, today, spend some time telling each other what CP has meant to us during this past year. 

• Has it been a blessing to you? 
• Have you learned new things regarding God's Word? 
• Have you enjoyed looking at each others photographs? 
• Do you enjoy singing the hymns?
  
• What new things would you like to see added to our website?
  
• Was there a humorous event that you remember happening this past year?[/color][/b][/size]
  

I would like to publicly thanks those who have been helping during this past year.  Without the several Moderators and my fellow Administrator, Larry Hanna, I could never have been able to get through this year!    Thanks so much my fellow Mods!


Have a look at our very first New Every Morning of one year ago by clicking on this link...NEM of April 9, 2003.  Not only was Soni our very first new member when the site opened, she was also the very first person to post a message after I opened it! 

[/b][/color][/size]







Surely just as we opened our great website one year ago by singing this chorus togeter, we can sing this today on our First Anniversary with real meaning as we celebrate one year together on this site.









As we start afresh our second year on Christian Photographers, let's remember what our main webpage says...[/size]

We are a group of people who, first of all, love the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and enjoy sharing together. [/list][/size]

and let's again refresh our memory as to what our Purpose is:


The Christian Photographer's website has several purposes:

• To glorify and magnify God through His creation.
  
• To lead the lost to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
  
• To share requests and pray for one another.
  
• To encourage and inspire those who need it.
  
• To share tips and techniques for taking better photographs.
  
• To enjoy fellowship with believers in all countries.

Thanks so much, Soni....  Means a lot.  Kind of teary-eyed tonight thinking that we've been together for over a year (some of us) and it's just such a great feeling!

Love you guys so much.

Please click in the Prayer and Praise area too to see that Nita's brother, Morris went home to be with the Lord this evening.

Pat, I also got teary eyed  looking at the post from last year.  I also got a chuckle  from some of our posts.  We have had a great year.  I wouldn't have changed a thing. 

This place is great because I got to meet all of you folks. 

((((hugs to all))))

Happy Anniversary to CP! 

I don't have a lot of time now to elaborate, but thanks to Pat for all her hard work and to all of you for all your involvement.  I REALLY appreciate you guys!

Bye for now,
Nard

Happy Anniversary!  I don't get here much but it is a fun place to visit.  Keep up all the hard work!  Mary

Thanks again to Pat, the wonder woman, who does so much to provide us with our CP forum.  This year like all of them seems to have passed by so very quickly.

When I look back I have to say thank you all my CP brothers and sisters for your prayers when I was very sick in the hospita lthis last year.  Heart attack, colon cancer, colon surgery, cardiac arrest, blood clot, pneumonia --- all these things came one after the other.  The prayers of my family, my church, my friends in CP, were powerful to bring me back when they thought I wasn't going to make it.  Hospital pictures:   http://hospital1.homestead.com/index.html

I have enjoyed the pictures of our members.  A picture IS worth a thousand words.  They make us feel like we really know each other.  And of course I enjoy the pictures over in Photography from the very amateurish like mine to the very professional looking pictures like Soni's.

And, of course, I have enjoyed the devotionals which daily remind me that what is important each day is God's will for my life.  Whatever happens to us God is there for us.

Also, I have enjoyed the questions.  Some of them hard and some very easy.  We need to be inquisitive and we need to ask questions and search for their answers. 

2 Pet 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
(KJV)

So I will give Pat the first prize for this web site.  Thank you Pat.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO CP!!  AND MANY MORE!!Heartiest congratulations to our able Captain, Pat, for steering the CP ship through the rocks and troubled waters, as well as the many days of smooth water and beautiful sailing!  We love you! 

I was here earlier and made my post, but our server had a blip and it was lost.

This has been a great year.  A year of mighty blessings and miracles:  Papa John's being restored to us tops the list!  Thank you, dear Lord!!

One of the most special things about CP to me, is our Prayer area, where we have the privilege of praying for each other's needs, and asking prayer for ours. Then we get to read those wonderful praise reports, too!

I love all the photographs, too.  It helps us to get to know each other better, and we get to see beauty from all over the world!  Great!

I love getting to meet all of you, hearing about your families, your daily activities, your hopes, dreams, disappointments and triumphs.  We ARE a family here on CP.

I do miss our brother Iain.

I will be back later to chat with you some more.  It is overcast here, and they are predicting a low of 24 degrees tonight.    I am praying it will not happen, as we have tiny fruit on our trees now.

Look who's online right now...


Pat Scott, Carol, Sonifo, Janet, Al Moak, Ria, Etta Sue
PLUS 7 GUESTS!

QuoteHas it been a blessing to you?  

Yes, this site has been a blessing to me and my family.  I have learned so much in the past year.  More than I have in the past 10 years. 

I have been blessed with meeting and getting to know so many folks on here.

I have been blessed by so many people praying for my family, especially Zachery, who needs pray all the time. 
Thanks!

Soni, I miss our Zachery's happy posts.  Please tell him to come back and talk to us!  And please keep us updated on his condition, so that we can pray specifically for his needs.  We sure love all of your family, and Zachery is so special!

Isn't this just so true?

Happy Birthday CP and congratulations and many thanks to all who have worked on this site!  Blessings and easy techie fixes for the years ahead for you as well.

Janet:  I hope that your temperatures won't drop that drastically but we are having wintery weather here as well - no fruit trees.  I did watch Condi Rice being grilled yesterday and believe she is so sharp and articulate but a few men came across poorly when the camera turned to them.

Papa John:  Just did not remember all you have been through this last year.  Now, everything in your body must be fixed after all that trauma.  We pray so. 

I am cleaning house and preparing for Easter dinner here and the forecast called for some wintery weather so will have to see what happens.

Pat:  What are you doing for Easter?  We used to go to sunrise services some years but it doesn't look good for this year.

Hi!  This is Marbeth. Al is sitting a few feet away from me, and is laughing at me and instructing me. He wants me to learn this awful machine in case he can't come to the computer some day.  SO praise the Lord!

WELCOME MARBETH!

Happy Anniversary, CP!!!!!  I think I am blessed because if it werent for this site, I wouldn't have met Sonja, her family, Pat, Judy Mc, and Beverly during the past year!  And Jane was so close, I felt I met her also!!!  Thank you, God!  I love the fellowship here and the awesome photos!!!!!!!!

Marilyn ~ Thanks for the link.  I don't have a security problem...just that my microphone doesn't work.  I have done all the tests and it seems that something isn't hooked up...no sound is detected when I run the test.  Yes, you can record your own voice or whatever....go to All Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Sound Recorder.  I did this all the time when I had Windows 98SE.  With this new compressor, I can't.  I have emails my guru!!!  Also thank you for your comments on my photos in the Wood and Water challenges.

Janet ~ I agree about TV.  Another reason I have Ultimate TV and I record what I like to watch when I want to watch it.  I think the commercials are as bad as the programs....fast forward through them when they are recorded.  Hope you get relief from your 2-3 hours of sleeplessness. 

Jane ~ I am sure and positive that you had a wonderful visit with your daughter and granddaughters.  Just wish you lived nearer to me...I would drive you wherever you would like to go and maybe where you wouldn't like to go...  The 11th was my husband's birthday.

Larry ~

QuoteEtta Sue, have you checked your volume control panel to be sure that the microphone control isn't either muted or set to its softest setting?  Also, are you sure you have the microphone in the right plug in your sound card.  Voice of experience as I have had both of these things happen to me.

Does making sure I have the microphone in the right plug mean on the inside of the case?  If so, no I haven't.  I did make sure the microphone is plugged in the right spot...at least, it has a microphone icon near the plug.

Joyce ~ Your words are very comforting.  Have a great trip over the Easter Holiday.[/b]

"Forget the health food.  We need all the preservatives we can get."

MARBETH, get Al to show you how to register!

Then we'll know that we're talking to YOU and now that old guy!!!

Hello there, Marbeth!  Don't let Al's laughing intimidate you!  I needed a class beginning with "This is the ON button" when I started, and I am still muddling along and making many mistakes with computer stuff.  Thos organized people like Etta Sue and Pat would have appoplexia if they got on my computer and tried to find stuff!

Carol, I agree about Condi Rice--I am SO proud of her!  That one guy thought he was being so smart when he kept calling her "Dr. Clark" and I wondered how long she would tolerate it.  I was happy when she finally said she didn't think she looked like Dick Clark!  President Bush made a good choice when he picked her.  She is one very intelligent lady!

Today is the one year anniversary of the toppling of Saddam's statues in Iraq.  Been a long year in that country, and our people there need our continuing and fervent prayers.  Please remember to include Jane's dear grandson Bryan in your prayers.

Etta Sue, you're right about the commercials!  Ugh.

QuoteHave you learned new things regarding God's Word? 

I have learned so much.  If it wasn't for Etta Sue recommendation for the book "The Purpose Driven Life" I wouldn't be as happy as I am now.  I feel Like I am headed on the right track now. I have asked many questions on here and got many answers.  I have learned to read the Word daily and understand it better.

Thanks to Papa John and his "Verse inserts". He usually posts what I need to hear for the day.

Jenny was a big help when she would post her lovely post about different situations.  That girl knows her Bible.

And last is Ms. Patsy, Pat, Mum, Bestest gal ever!  Her devotions everyday helped me to learn about daily living in God's word.  Each devotion has taught me something new. You rock, Pat! This is for you.

now it's going to let me post.
earlier i tried to post and it wouldn't let me kept logging me off. who knows! well anyways i'm glad cp's been around for a year. but i must be off to clean house right now so that i can go out with friends tonight ttyl

Happy Anniversery to all our members and most of all the Pat who has worked wonder on this site.

I haven't been toread the pasts from last year yet. you would not believe theproblems I am having with this computer. 
I did a system restore after i did two different virus scans. I had an email from someone I don't know that said they received a virus from me.  I didn't let it load into my computer  read it on the web site.

Then this morning  Avant browser would not let me get on to any website so I uninstalled it. I have been messing with this compouter foor a few days now trying and doing everything that Dell tells me to do. I uninstalled that  Serive pack that I loaded in yesterday. Took out Kerio firewall and some other programs.

How frustrating it gets when things just do not go right.

I have also made potatoe salad during the wiatign times  with the computer.  YEOW I am ready to tear out my hair.

I am using Internet Explorer now, I ready did like the Avant  browser that Larry recommended.

TTYL

I am you very thankfull dear
PAT for all your work this year.

May God also Bless you the coming year and give you Power

This has been an interesting year For CP..

Just take time to browse the pictures.... they kinda tell it all.

We are about our faith in an awesome Saviour, Prayer for family, friends, and our world. 

Pat you have taught me so much and reminded me of family times lost in memories.   Thank you.

To the rest of you here I say thank you as well. 

Most of all Thank you to our Wonderful Saviour who has made this all possible.

Love to all
Judy

I do want to wish CP'ers a Happy Anniversary.  Some of you may be in church at this hour.  Since our church has a "drop-in" anytime format for Good Friday I am not in church at this hour.

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.

JESUS: You have done so very much for me.  You changed my life, so completely, from what it was, to what it is and to what it is gonna be.  I'm so thankful that you died for me so long ago.

Pat, that is an awesome graphic! 

Your welcome!
