It's great to see JUDY MCKENNA here!!!

Well, my goodness., Pat dosen't miss a thing does she?  LOL - actually, I had to ask Pat for help getting in here., but with her instructions, it was a "snap"!

I have missed you all so much.  Norm and I took a week's vacation last week, going to Lancaster PA.  It was a terrific time, with a Christian tour company.  There were 156 of us on the tour, and thats was the first time we had gone with a Christian organization.  It really makes a difference being with Christians.  We were from many diverse backgrounds, but all were born again.  One of the best parts of the trip was the massive prayer meeting that was held, and the hymn sing.  Several of the hotel employees asked to join in, and they certainly heard the gospel.

We were told that two of the employees asked for prayer, and asked the Lord into their hearts.

I haven't accomplished near what I needed to do today, I'm still trying to rest up.

Its great seeing so many here, and new faces as well.

Love,

Judy

Pat, I am delighted to see the new topics you have established.  I had been having some thoughts along these same lines, especially the links to valuable Christian resources.  A suggestion for a little later after we have had a significant number of links identified would be to put them together on a supporting webpage for quick reference.  However, I suppose if we put the link name in the title of the new topic (which I believe you suggested for each new item) perhaps that would serve the same purpose.

Congratulations and thanks Karma for agreeing to help Pat with this new section of discussions.  

Larry

well now my goodness.....I am away from the computer for the weekend and look what I come back too......many, many posts....and many new faces and questions....

well..we do welcome new faces and lots of questions.....

Pat....great devotion...well comment on it later though.....been busy looking through all the posts and my mind is filled with all the various comments and so on....

Judy so glad to see that you made it here and I pray that you had a lovely vacation and now are getting caught up  and will be back with us when you have rested....

Pat....I think the new category is a fantastic idea.....and I will definitely be using it and putting some stuff into it as well.

well two of my daughters have gone to wash and vacuum the van for me which is really nice....and so I am off to prepare some things for supper now...
God be with you all and I pray....will see you all later.

Hi Paulette!  I have to get my car washed.  Where are the girls?

I'll go and park my car next in line!

Well, Howdy everyone!

I had to re-register to get in here but it did work.  I also have a new e-mail address - CShovein@yahoo.com

We have been terribly busy since we made the decision not to build in the mountains and staying right here.  I have been unpacking and it is almost like Christmas because I had forgotten so many little things.  Now, is that not a strong hint that I need to get rid of some more earthly things?  

There may be some medical concerns for Don but we are not going to let it affect our lives and our committment to Trust in the Lord.  

Just keep up your wonderful daily guides.  

Thanks ever so much for this site.  

Carol

Oh, Carol, it's so good to see you.  Yes, you'd have to register as this is a new site but you'll only have to login the next time!

I'm sorry to read about Don.  Maybe you better tell us about it over in "Have You Prayed About It?" so that we can all keep him on our Prayer List.

Now, there's fresh coffee on the counter and lots of goodies to enjoy so pull up a chair and just make yourself welcome!

Good afternoon everyone.   I'm just getting here, so I have all the neat posts to read.

Meika...your question about "fearing God" is so good.
I remember telling God,  "Lord, you have shown me nothing but mercy and love that is without measure.  How can I ever fear You?"   And as others have said, I found that the fear for God is an incredible awe of Him.
That was easy for me.  So...with my heart filled with awe and Godly fear, I drew near and melted into His arms once more.  Not wanting to do anything to hurt Him, and this is just my own heart, is more important than fearing punishment.   I've felt his displeasure in my actions, for sure, and have felt his discipline.....but He is always FATHER, and we are always HIS CHILDREN.  Hellelujah!  His LOVE....like a river flowing to us, and into us, covering us....WOW!  All I can do is cry at such love.

 I know why song writers must write!   Expressing such love is our heart's longing. We want everyone to know.

  Spring is getting here!  yep, yep, yep.  I have signs all over.   I've been snapping pictures of flowers and buds, so need to get them in our new challange.   It doesn't count when people have spring year around; does it?? haha

 
   

 

 

Great to read your post, Nita.   (Nita and I have been close friends since about 1996 and I just love her to bits!)

aahhhh...Pat.  you're sweet.    Pat knows I've actually been in bits through lots of stuff.......and taking my eyes off the Lord in the middle of it......but thanks for friends who love you to "bits" and love you to wholeness.

Thanks for the hymn Pat, that is becoming a favourite of mine.

I am a bit late to reply to everyone, but it is good to see Carol registered and to hear from Nita, Paulette, Papa John, Larry and Judy and Marilyn, and if I've forgotten anyone - oh yes, that girl - I've forgotten her name but I printed it on the bottom of a custard pie, let me see - Karma.  I look forward to looking into the new resources folders - that sounds interesting and thanks Karma for helping out in this way.

I hope everyone has a great night, and look forward to meeting you all tomorrow.

Anthony.

Anthony, you forgot me

My, we have been busy.  So many of our lost sheep have returned to the flock!  

Fear...I put 'fear' into my Franklin Bible and it said it is in 48 books of the Bible.  It doesn't tell how many verses.  Fearing God, to me, respect, reverence, awe.  Just looked in my collegiate dictionary and it says...to have a reverential awe of  (fear God)

CONGRATUATIONS, MODERATOR KARMA!!
Mieka ~ I love your picture...you are a cutie.  And I love your questions.  I can hear the pages of our Bibles turning.  God is so happy with children such as you.

Ivalou had an eye exam this morning.  Her vision has went kaput in the past year.  So she is having Cadillac cataract surgery next Tuesday.  Then return on Wednesday and schedule an appointment for the other eye.  She knew she had small cataracts but now they are ready for surgery.  She will be fine.  We have a pickup service so we will be picked up and taken to downtown Indianapolis and brought back home.  Curtesy service!  

I, for the life of me, do not know why I am inside this house.  I have all the windows open.  A wonderful breeze is swooping through the house.  It is 73°F and the brightest sunshine available.  But I did get 3 PSP lessons done.  Perhaps when I get my mail, I will just stay out there awhile.  

God is Good!!!

Janet, how could I forget you?  God bless to you and Etta Sue before I go to bed.

Hello everyone.  We had a wonderful day today.  I did go to work, and spent my whole afternoon cleaning the company van, which I didn't mind at all since it meant I was outdoors.  Meika, I'm sorry to hear of your pain, but I'm so glad to hear how God has helped you.  He is such a gracious God, we cannot help but stand in awe of Him.

Pat-I think a new section is a great idea.  I'm glad Karmat has agreed to be a moderator too.  How was your day today?  I'm so glad you got to go to dinner with your son and daughter-in-law.  I hope it wasn't too hard on you.  I was praying for you.  

Well, I will be off to bed now.  Have a great night.  Jen.

 ;DI am home from work now, it has been raining all afternoon oops I mean't   We need the rain here in the desert. I think it might  be God getting me used to the rain I will be facing up north.
It is good tosee all the posts today. my goodness 4 pages and more to come. Well I am going to go eat some Top Ramen I Like it with vinegar in it. which is my dinner tonight. See y-all later.

Marilyn

Just dropped in late tonight to say HI!  I read most of today's messages.  My reaction is, "My! what busy, happy people.  Pat, your devotional message and the hymn were wonderful.  
I'll try to get back again tomorrow, when I am not so tired and sleepy.  May God watch over all of us this night.

I am just stopping by to say good night, and I will see you when we get homne from Texas!  God bless and keep each of you!

I posted some photos tonight, in case you want to have a look.

Pat, I hope you have had a good day and evening!

Me thinks it is time to go to bed.  I hope each of you has a wonderful, restful night (or morning as the case may be) and an awesome Tuesday.

I'll "see" you tomorrow!

Janet: I looked at all your photos. I like them all so very much:

Pat: Did you have a nice time with your family.?

I am just stopping by to say good night and Good Morning to Anthony. He will be here while most of us are sleeping.

Anthony: how is you dear mother doing? Are you still saving your socks for Par to Darn for you?

Etta Sue do you like chocolate fudge? There's a new recipe for you to check out, one that you can do less than 5 ingredients.  

Karma even you can do this one without many mistakes.  

Merrychild: it sound like you are having some real nice weather. It is 40 F. here and wet.

Judy I'm glad to hear you had such a nice trip.

Well Good Nihgt Sleep tight and don't let the beg bugs bite. LOL

Marilyn

Yes, thanks Janet and Marilyn, I had a nice evening with the kids.  It was nice to keep my mind off things.

Now it's time to lock this door but tomorrow's thread is open and there's a light on in the front window for you all to find your way!  

Please feel free to continue the discussion in the new thread.
