Marilyn, did you get my photograph of Sammy?  I sent it to your  hotmail account.

Anthony.

Was going to post more, but Travis just dumped out a bowl of cheerios.  Back later.

There have been quite a few people in today.  Good to see each one.

I am trying one of those fancy action pics to see if it will work for me.

Ps i can't post the graphics from work I can't copy or paste on these computers.

Hey papa John you did it. Plus you posted a new photo of yourself. You like those action graphics Huh?  :-*Looks like I started something. Now we need to see one of you sailing a boat. Or behind the pulpit preaching.  

Hi Anthony I see you on line; Did you check out the
CHEESECAKErecipe. MMMMMGOOOOOOD!!!!!

Mieka ~ I have copied the meaning of your name and will keep in among my files. I love it. We are to be fishermen of people for the Lord and I believe you are doing just that! At the end of every Daily Encounter I get, is this fish, <)))><< !

Marilyn ~ I will see about sending you Bubba's picture and what little I do know about him!

Papa John,

I love the animation that you posted.  Marilyn, you have started a new craze.

Jerry, that's a good illustration regarding Mieka's name.  We are indeed to be fisher's of men.  I love that sign of the fish.  I wonder if it's copywrited

Anthony.

Hi everyone.  I am late getting here today as it has been a busy day.  Pat had an eye appointment this morning and as soon as we got back and ate a bite of lunch I had some shopping to do.  After going to Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and Office Depot I was beat when I got home and had to take a little nap.  When I got up I went to visit my friend, Tom, who is now pretty well housebound and no longer able to stand.  He is looking better overall but I am certain her will never be able to walk again.  He is such a fine man and he has a wonderful wife.  They are both in their early 80s.  Fortunately their daughter, who is a nurse, is now staying with them when she is not at work and that is a big help.

Pat, thanks for the info on your daughter and how she plans to use her seminary degree.  I think I thought yesterday was Thursday in my comment about your attending the ceremony then.  I knew it was today.  That is a beautiful piece of music you posted and am enjoying listening to it as I write.  For years I have loved the music written by John Peterson and have several of his books.  It is time to get them out and play through them again.  He has written many Christian songs, including some wonderful Cantatas for Easter and Christmas.

The devotionals are all very meaningful today.  Jerry, those scriptures leave little wiggle room in interpretation.  

Papa John, I like your new picture of yourself.  I believe you could audition to play the role of Ernest Hemingway, if memory serves me correctly.  Must be the beard.

Mieka, I don't believe any of us would ever be angry with questions you may have.  I second what the others have said about what a great joy it is to have you participating with us.

Karma, that is what little ones are suppose to do.  It is their job to be sure their parents have something to keep them busy.  

Marilyn, I will have to check your webpage again.  I sent you an e-mail with links to get a couple of pictures of our Mr. Tiggers (our cat) yesterday.  It went to your Yahoo account.

Wow, it's been busy in here today.  I've missed a lot.  I just wanted to share something I heard.  "When you attain your goal, it is merely the starting point for another one."

I thought about it all day.  You know, we are limited in our humanity.  We have ideas of goals we would like to attain for the Lord.  But He has different plans for us very often.  However, God still brings us to different plateaus in our walk with Him.  Different levels of knowledge and intimacy with Him.  I know in my own life, when I see that God has been gracious and brought me to a new plateau, sometimes I feel ecstatic and I don't want to move, because it's such a wonderful place to be.  But God doesn't want us to be content with that.  He has so much more planned for us.  When He brings us to a higher level, it is only another step up to something else He has for us.

Hehe, anyway, there's my mini- life-lesson for today!  It never sounds as good when it's written down.  Anyway, I have to run because dinner is ready!  God bless you all.  Jen.

Anthony ~ I don't believe that fish is copywrited. I know it is used on bumper stickers and emblems for cars and I even have a friend who has one tatooed on her shoulder. I have seen it everyplace imaginable.

Larry ~ That is why I like my Daily Encounters. It doesn't leave any room for doubt because it has the scripture from which it is taken and written about!

You can m,ake that fish on the keyboard.

<)))<>>!

Hi all,

Glad to be back for a few minutes.  I wrote a message in the prayer request for zachery.  I am at the library in fort colliins.  I have to go, but please keep us in your prayers.
Sonja

<))))><<   You mean like this!  <))))><<

Whew!  I am stuffed.  I had a late lunch today.  One of those days that I told myself don't stop on the pc until you have so and so all done.  So it was late.  

Then around 4pm, Barb, my SIL, called.  Wanted to know if I wanted to go out to eat with them and Ivalou.  When?  Right away.  So I ran a comb through my hair and walked to their house.  We had Chinese food.  I wasn't hungry but it was soooooo good.  I am stuffed!  

But the company was why I went ... not the food.  I really didn't eat that much but I am stuffed.

Did I tell you that I am stuffed?

I got all my PSP lessons done.  All six weeks of them.  Now for a mini-vacation and the next lessons start in June.

Here are my lessons...
Week 6

See, Pat, I remembered how to do that!!!

Yes Jerry like that.



I am building a free clipart page on my site check it out.

I'm very very late.  I was surprised to find the lights still on for April 24.

  Today was a day of sunshine and rain, sunshine and rain.  Oregon weather.  I took my camera out and tried to get some pictures, and did a few, but can't remember now how to post them. haha  (Pat, I know how to resize and optomize with PSP, but can't remember the code to post.

  I just wanted to be sure and get here before I tucked myself in for the night.  TONIGHT, I will sleep!  Thanks for your prayer for us, sweet Marilyn.

Good morning everyone.  I do trust that Pat has had a good time at her daughter's graduation.  It must have been quite a moment for the family.

Thank you Marilyn for the link to the free clipart.  That is a precious resource.

Etta Sue I enjoyed your PSP lessons.  You are advancing very well.

I love the fish sign.  I think I might use that in my emails.

God bless to everyone else.  Sorry I haven't spoken to each by name;  a  little under the weather this morning.

Anthony.

Good morning everyone.  I got up very early this morning.  I have been having back trouble and at 4:00 o'clock I couldn't sleep so I got up to take some medicine for my back.  Pain is not fun.  I am reminded of the prayer of Jabez which we read a few nights ago in our daily reading:


1 Chr 4:10  Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.
(NIV)

I hope you all have a nice day today serving the Lord.

--- Papa John      

Mieka:  It is refreshing to have you ask questions - never annoying.  

Papa John:  Sorry about your back pain!  I hope that it is short-lived pain.  

Sonja:  You must have been driving in the rain on Wednesday.  I am going to check out your note.

Carol

Good Morning Everyone!

Yes, I got home at about 1:30 am from Toronto.  It was so nice to be there.  The speaker was excellent and I enjoyed being able to meet old friends.

I peeked in here but my bed was calling so loudly so I just got in between the covers and went to sleep instead of doing the Morning Devotional.

Have a great day everyone!

Papa John, I was sorry to hear about your back pain.  It is unpleasant, especially when we are not able to sleep because of it.  I am happy, though, that you quoted the scripture.  I never realised that Jabez asked to be free from pain as well.  Thank you for pointing that out to us.

Carol, it's so good to see you today and I  hope you have a wonderful day.

Pat, I am glad that you enjoyed the ceremony (if that is the right word), but you must have been very tired.  It's good  to see that you were blessed with travelling mercies.

I usually go out on Friday's, but the weather is too wet.  We visited a garden centre instead and enjoyed a meal.  It is nice not to cook or wash up.

God bless to everyone.  I plan on doing some French study this afternoon.  It would help if I could figure out what has gone wrong with my printer, but I can't at the moment.

Anyway, have a great day and catch you later.

Anthony

Pat, glad you had such a nice time yesterday and got to see old friends in addition.  I think our daily devotional from yesterday, plus the additional devotional items posted by Jerry, Papa John and others have sufficent content to last us two days.  Get rested up and we will look forward to the devotional for tomorrow.

Papa John, hope you back is feeling much better by this time.  Sometimes it seems almost impossible to get in a comfortable position.  

I think Pat and I are going to do some furniture shopping today.  I need a new recliner as I have sort of worn out my old one.  We are also shopping for a new dinette set as the chairs for the one we currently have are getting in back shape, in fact, we had to discard one of them sometime ago as the leg broke.  

We had lots of rain again last night with more heavy thunderstorms predicted for this afternoon.  Hope we can get back before they get here.  It is usually later in the afternoon before we get the storms.

Nita, on the reply page you see several "Add YABBC tags: line above the message posting box.  After you get your photo the size you want and get it uploaded to your server, just copy the file location on your server and then click on the fourth item from the left in the second row (it looks like a picture in a frame) and put your cursor between the two tags and paste the path of your graphic there.  If you want to center it once you have that done you can highlight that whole thing and then click on the centering button (the fifth item from the right in the first row of tags and it will put the centering tags around the highligted area.  That technique works for any of the codes that you want to subsequently add.  Hope this makes sense.  Pat, if there is a better explanation please let us know as we are all learning to use this coding, which is a bit different from regular HTML coding.

Hi to everyone stopping by today.  Will be back later.

Larry

  I just lost my post.
Good morning:
Pat, It is good to hear that you had a nice time with your daughter Janice at her graduation and got to meet up with old friends. Better still that you got home safely.

PapaJohn I am sorry to hear about your back pain. Pain is not nice under ANY circumstances. Good that you recalled the Paryer of Jabez. I have the first little book that Bruce Wilkinson wrote withthat title. Jehovah Rapha is the God that healeth thee and I pray our God will take away your pain.

Anthony I will post the link to my Christian clip art page in the christian Links section. I will be adding some links to my page as Ifind them on the internet. That way we can just link tomy page for whatever we need. I have some saved to disk that I still have to post. I just need to make sure that I give credit where it is due.

Hi Larry I see you posting at the same time.

Today April 25th Francy Lou is in surgery today. Lets all pray for her!!

TTYL
Marilyn

Message from Francy Lou... Francy is having trouble posting on CP but I am busy checking my email here and found this from her...

Marilyn was thinking my surgery was tomorrow...  but it had to be postponed (no new date yet) because of the abcess.  I go to the dentist tomorrow - must be where she got that idea.

Will you thank everyone for their prayers.

I'll keep trying to post...

Francy[/list]

Good day from cool, overcast Kansas, the land where the tumbleweeds roll!

I am getting ready to go to Hugoton.  My kids are having their annual Open House at their business, and I want to go see what's happening there.  Tomorrow I am going to the big city of Campo, Colorado, where I grew up, to attend my ____th year high school reunion.  Well, okay, it's my 45th!  I can hardly believe it!  Darrel will go with me, and we are taking my Mom.  She graduated with one of her granddaughters there, after many years of bieng out of school raising a family.  She got her GED and they let her go through the graduation exercises with the kids that year.  She is so proud of that.

I have lots to do today, so I won't be spending much time on the computer.  But I do wish you all a wonderful day!  

Pat, I'm glad you are home safely.  We are hearing so much about the SARS thing in Toronto, and how they are angry about the WHO telling people not to go there.  This morning they said there are 400,000 Chinese living in Toronto--I was really surprised at that number!

Pat and Marilyn, thanks for the reminder about Francy Lou's surgery.  It must be frustrating having to wait.

Larry, I hope everything goes well with the shopping.  I was looking at a recliner today for my mother, but it was a little too expensive.  I hope you manage to get one sorted out for yourself.

Marilyn, thanks for your thoughtfulness re the clipart.  It is a great idea.

Anthony.

Yes, I was just watching CNN and the question was asked, "Would you travel to Toronto?"

So I wrote the following:

Would I travel to Toronto??

I certainly would.  In fact I did and without any second thoughts about doing this.  I traveled to Toronto yesterday from my city of Guelph and was right in the middle of the area where most of the cases have originated.  I then traveled to the centre of Toronto (Jarvis and Gerrard Streets) in order to see my daughter graduate and I had absolutely NO qualms about doing this.  I never saw a single person with a face mask and I hugged old friends and acquaintances and shook hands with many people.

The W.H.O. decision to issue this warning is just terrible and could cause such panic among the populations of the world and such devastation for the convention centres of Toronto.  If the W.H.O. had just simply come and done their homework in this situation, they would certainly have come up with a very different decision.  The SARS is definitely under control in the city and the Health Care workers who have worked tirelessly to get this problem rectified deserve so very much credit!

Get the word out please that Toronto is a good, safe, clean and friendly city to travel to right now.  This BAD decision by the W.H.O. was simply a political move on their part and they are using Toronto as their scapegoat.  The number of suspected and probable cases in Toronto actually dropped by 10 yesterday, as several were scratched off the suspect list.

Pat Scott,

Good morning everyone from a rainy, cool and dark Indiana.

Glad to see everyone posting and telling us about yourselves....what you are doing, or wanting to do.  

I am just so glad that I am done with my PSP lessons.  I am looking forward to NOT being online this afternoon or sitting at the pc.  I don't know what I will do but I plan to surprise myself!!!
