That was a wonderful devotion, Chris!  Thank you!

Thank YOU Sonja, you are doing great!

Nita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jane, that's a cute butler that Chris is sending.  I've been wanting some things done.  Does he do windows?  Maybe you could send him over here when you're done, as long as Chris is paying.

We'll be leaving at 1 pm today for a run to Atlanta, returning tomorrow morning.

I pray that you'll have good driving conditions to Atlanta, Ruth Ann.  You'll certainly be missed and we'll be waiting for you to return.

Ohh, Soni, what a blessing from today's New Every Morning!  Just wonderful...

How can you experience Christ's love?

• Repent of your sins.
  
  Acts 3:19  "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out" (KJV).
  
  Repentance is making a U-turn.  You turn from your sins and trun toward God through Jesus.
  
  
  
• Trust  Jesus to save you.
  
  Ephesians 2:8-9  "for by grace are ye saved through faith;  and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (KJV).
  
  Faith is like trusting an airplane to take you on a trip.
  
  
  
• Surrender to Jesus as your Lord.
  
  Romans 10:9  "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved" (NASB)

Surrendering to Jesus as Lord means giving Him control of your life.  You do what He wants you to do instead of what you want to do.

To repent of your sins, trust Jesus as Savior and surrender to Him as Lord, pray this prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God, and you died on the cross and were raised from the dead.  I know I have sinned and need forgiveness.  I turn from my sins and receive you as Savior and Lord.  Thank you for saving me.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Oh, I'm so glad my computer is now fixed!

Hi Ruth!


Have a great time at your prom, Sarah!  Good to see you posting.  Come and drop in when you can love!


Oh, Ria!  JESUS LOVES YOU!   And make sure you know that sweetie!    How's that big toe?  I hope it's so much better now.

Just such a lovely poem today, Ria...

I'm a gem, Pat says!

YOU SURE ARE!!!  You sure are!


Hi Janet!   Yes, it's so good to be back online in my own home!


Hey, Etta Sue!  Thinking of you and these liver tests.  I will be praying for you.


Thanks Marilyn!   Yep!  Great to be back. 

Bea and I have been to the Hospice Thrift shop to look at sofas I bought a pair of pretty pastel plaid set of sheets and a belt for my self. She didn't buy anthing but we did find her a nice hidebed and pretty blue rocking chair. She has to wait until her check comes to buy. I got most of her dishes packed up but still a lot to do.

They told us her place might be ready tomorrow, they were still painting when  we were there on Tuesday.

Janey I am not going to make it up there next week, too much to do to get her ready for the move. I am sorry tomiss this trip. I think Al may be well enough to travel very soon. He will have to fill you in on that.

Going to read prayers now sooooo

Sounds like you had a terrific little trip to the Thrift Shop, Marilyn.   I'm also so glad to read that Al Moak is on the mend.

Aaawwwww Marilyn    I was so looking forward to your visit, and Nita really wanted to meet you ... But I guess you have to do what you have to do ... and you are missing the trip for a good cause.  I'm sure Bea could not do without you and all your help. 

Congratulations on your profitable trip to the Thrift Store!   

Well I have just discovered tha tmy pretty sheets are not full size they are King size. Hey I can fix that!!

Time to get off, going next door to babysit for an hour or so.

See y-all tomorrow.

I have written a discription of what Brother Iain is going through, Please read and pray.

Hello everyone!!  My Bible Study group just left, and I thought I was going to have some time to actually leave a decent post in here, but now my boys are home, and since I haven't seen one of them all day (nard), I think I will go see him.

Hope you aren't offended, or anything!!!

Hello Marilyn.  I am here.

Well, I have stopped in to read several times today but haven't really felt like writing.  Cornelia has been busy planning a shower for our granddaughter, Robbie, who is going to have a baby toward the end of May or first of June.  The shower is Saturday and you would think the Queen was coming for all the hustle and bustle that is going on around here.

I have been shopping for a lawnmower and I bought one today.  I had been to Home Depot and to Lowes and also to Sears.  Anyway today we bought the one I was considering at Sears.  Our old lawn mower is just about worn out.  It still runs though and I am giving it to our son-in-law, Martin.  It has been a busy day.

Cornelia and I are continuing our reading the Bible through out loud the second year in a row.  We are following the same schedule we used last year and we are now in 1 Chronicles.  There are a lot of names and genealogies which make it a little heard but we plow through those difficult names and I think it makes us realize that these were real people.  They had names.  God cared for each one of them

One night this week we read about the prayer of Jabez: 

1 Chr 4:9-10
9   Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain."
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 good night's rest tonight.

After Papa John talking about reading the Bible through with Cornelia, this is a good hymn to sing...

Hi Everyone.... I am watching the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Philadelphia Flyers.  The score is 2/1 for the Flyers.   

GO LEAFS GO    GO LEAFS GO   GO LEAFS GO

Ruthie

I've been watching it too as I've been trying to get caught up with 3 days of backlog, Ruthie!


GO LEAFS, GO!!!

Well, they lost!  Sad!  3 to 1

Yes Pat,  the Leafs lost tonight.   Apparently the Flyers are all real big guys.  Not that size means too much.  Remember Gretszky, the Great One!   He was a little skinny guy, but boy was he amazing!

Time for bed.   God Bless

Love Ruthie

Hi Ursula!

Yes, I sure did miss my computer but it's so nice now and so fast!

It really did need reformatting!

Hey, Ursula!  How's the picture taking out there in British Columbia!  I'd love to see some of them.

You know if you upload to Photo-Sense, Neil doesn't mind you deeplinking from his site so you can do it all on your own and you don't have to send them to me!

I'll talk you through it or Neil will if you upload there.  Also, the plus side is that several there will just love to see your photos and they will comment on them.

See you there?

Pat, sorry for not answering sooner, I've been in and out all day again.  I think I once looked at Photo-Sense, will look at them again tonight, after I get the dishes done

Picture taking in BC is going slow (lots of pictures, not much quality).  It takes a while to develop a "feel" for how light works in different places, and to find places where you can take pictures.  The landscape around here is quite overwhelming, very beautiful.  But it seems to me that the lack of "open spaces" makes it more difficult to figure out how to take pictures (at least landscapes).  Even the day to day light, e.g. for closeups of flowers, is different than in other places, more purplish I'd say.  There haven't been any sunsets to speak of, and I'm just now finding bodies of water (lakes, still pools in the river, puddles).  Bodies of water are so good for photography!  I'm also rather frustrated with my camera, it has too much noise (not in macro mode).  The noise is particularily noticeables on landscapes, especially when the light isn't terribly bright.

I've been busy "judging" pictures at DigitalPhotoContest (this is my second month), and part of judging there is to restrict participation at other sites (because there's so much cross-over, although probably less from DPChallenge than from other sites).  If any of you participate at DigitalPhotoContest, you might consider volunteering for a month of judging - it's a good learning experience.

Talk to you later

Ursula

Good evening all!  (Or night as it probably is for many.)

Not a lot going on in Western NC tonight, calm, cool, and blooming.  The dogwoods are out, the blackberries are starting up, among other pollen distributing plants.  Ahhh . . .choo.  The sounds of Spring!

Did I happen to mention that Bernard and I are both sick.  We are debating whether it is a cold or "just" allergies.  In any case, we don't feel so good.  'Tis the season, to be sneezing, I guess. 

I think I'm going to turn in early, tonight (like before midnight) so I hope all ya'll have a wonderful weekend!!!

I'm so sorry that you both are sick, Karma.  Maybe too much birthday cheer?  Did he see his cards on CP?  Get well soon!

Karma, sorry to hear that you and your husband are sick.  Allergies are such a pain.  But dogwood and blackberries, that sounds good.

GET WELL SOON![/size]

Hello Ursula and Pat! 

I am heading to bed. 

Talk with you all tomorrow.

Sonja

Night Soni!  Sleep well.

Well, it's time to lock the door and open a new one for you. 

My heart is heavy this evening as I think of our brother Iain.  Please join us as we pray together for our precious brother as he goes through this struggle at this time.

Now, here's a link to tomorrow's topic...
