Hello ajewell,

Now I don't feel so lonely.  I don't take photos either...only the odd snap...I'm getting in a right mess just now trying to use a Scanner to send a few little pics to friends over the water.

I love this family and I know you will too.
Do pop into Prayers and Psalms. Wonderful!

Pat I loved the Hymn...Dark nights are coming but Jesus is with us.  I hope you will give us this one again in the bleak mid-Winter.

Marilyn I will be praying for you re the doctor....
Love you dear Sis.

Love and God Bless to everyone too.
Jenny.

Well, it's good to see each one today.  We are having another hot August day with the temperature aroung 90.  But here I am in the comfort of air conditioning.  I think we are spoiled by the comforts of modern living.  I think today about those in England and Holland where it has been so hot and kwhere air conditioning isn't as wide spread as it is here in the southern part of the U.S.

Pat when I read the devotional this morning I thought of a passage which we often refer to here:

Phil 4:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  (KJV)

Regardless of how low we may get or how overwhelmed we may be with the problems around us we can put our trust in God and enjoy his peace because we know He is with us.

QuotePhil 4:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  (KJV)

Papa John, that is indeed a wonderful verse.  I've claimed that verse so very often--especially in the past couple of years.  Our God is so faithful.

On the radio this morning, it was told that we are to expect 90° plus today.....first, 90° since July 7 here.  HUNH!!!  Many days on my trip NORTH were 90°+.  I thought I was going to have cooler weather going north but no way.

Also, it isn't too cold to sit outside in the evening.  It is the mosquitos that keeps us inside after dark and in the evenings.  Noah should have swatted on of them on the Ark!!!

Jane ~ I didn't mean to say I didn't want you to tell us your problems...just that I am tiring that you are having problems.  Get out of the valley, sister!!!

Cami ~ I was just through your town last Thursday on my way home from Canada.  If only I'da known it!!!!  We could have met for coffee or an ice cream!  I am directly east on you.  I can see State Road 32 out my front window.  I am between Noblesville and Anderson in Indiana.

Thanks you, Ria.  But I think I am in need of making some different graphics.  I am tiring of these!!


Jerry is having a bad day today.  He is so tired.  I got the car maintained and Jerry was back to bed when I got home.  He had been up...made the bed...but was back on top of the covers with an afghan over him.  He got up for lunch and asked if it was okay to go back to sleep.  I am praying that this rest will do wonders for him.  I don't like to see people ill or hurting.  

Thanks Ria...   I hope that you'll be able to send some more photos for posting again soon.

I'm sorry about Jerry, Etta Sue!  Jack had days like that too after his strokes.

Dear "personwhoneedshelp", please don't feel you can't or shouldn't post here.  This is a wonderful place with wonderful people who will be thrilled to help you find your way to the love and forgiveness that Jesus is waiting to give you.  We have all of us, at one time or another, been given that wonderful Saving Grace that we were sure we didn't deserve.

But praise His Holy Name, He doesn't require that we deserve it.  Only that we seek it and let Him give it to us, free of charge.  

it's not that I don't want to be here it's just i know some people who are in my church and school who claim to be christians but always have negative attitude about everything they do they use words that i thought christians werent' supposed to use i feel into that crowd and have got myself stuck there and now am debating about everything cuz right now i just don't have time to be constantly posting! the churches i have went to all seem to be telling me I don't belong I go to a branch of the Church of God that is out of Anderson Indiana and if any of ya'll know about that church it's not something you have to be a member of to be considered part of the church. everybody keeps yelling at me and i don't know how much of it i can take and these are just a few of my problems! they go a lot deeper than that but i'll get into those some other time

PWNH:

You haven't told us whether you are male or female so I don't know whether to call you brother or Sister.

It sounds to me like you are saying that the people at church are yelling at you, and that is not the way a true christian acts. True christians are supposed to be full of love, helpful and understanding. Not mean, hypocritical, or setting bad examples.

I think you need to look into going to a different church. The Church of God people that I know do not act that way, maybe it is just a few of the people. you didn't say if it was the church people, that was an assumption on my part. Correct me if I am wrong.

Dear  one, anyone who is a Christian is considered part of THE CHURCH. The Church is all believers no matter what denomination, as long as they believe in God and that Jesus is the Son of God and was born of a virgin, and is willing to state those beliefs.
Being a Born again Christian doesn't mean that every one who professes to be Christian acts the way they should.

Please don't leave us, you can learn so much from the people here at this site, we  have wonderful teachers
men and women of God who will lead you in the right direction and love you just as you are.

Dear PWNH I am glad to see you here again.

Jesus is not a "sin counter" He is a sin "carrier".
He carried your sins and mine all the way to the cross. He opened His arms wide on the cross and said "I Love You".

Churches are for sinners who go there to learn to be good.  It is a journey.  We are all on this journey and here at C.P. we help one  another.

Please come and talk to us.  We serve a Great God and He can help you. Marilyn is telling you the Truth.

Jenny.

(Jenny, I just posted your photos.  They need a description.)

PWNH, I'm glad you decided to tell us a little about your problems.  We'll be praying for you to find a true and loving Christian fellowship, both in a church and in your social/work life.

A SLAVE OF CHRIST

"In the 19th century, a young Christian heard a Bible teacher say, 'The world has yet to see what God can do with a man who is totally surrendered to Him.'

The young Christian said to himself, 'I want to be that man.' That young man was Dwight L. Moody, who became one of the greatest evangelists of all time, long before radio and television.

When the searching eyes of the Lord found Moody, they found a man whose 'availability' far surpassed his 'ability.' But God can do a lot with a little if He has all there is of it.

Moody was born in 1837 in the little town of Northfield, Mass. His father died at an early age of 41, leaving his widow in poverty, with a large mortgage on the home. The creditors grabbed everything they could, including firewood. Mrs. Moody tried to keep her family of nine children not only together, but together in Sunday School.

By the time Dwight was 17, he had become a successful shoe salesman for Holton's Shoe Store. Moody accepted Christ in the back room of the shoe store through the guidance of his Sunday School teacher. Later, he became
actively involved in the Plymouth Congregational Church in Chicago. As a layman, he began renting the church pews and filling them up with men and women whom he had invited.
 
He went on to become the great evangelist. But he never got away from his simple commitment and the memories of the first time he stood up to speak as a young man, when one of the deacons assured him that, in his opinion, he would serve God best by keeping still. Another critic praised Moody for his zeal but pleaded with him, saying that he should realize his limitations and not attempt to speak in public. 'You make too many mistakes in grammar.'

Moody patiently made reply to the man's concern: 'I know I make mistakes, and I lack many things, but I'm doing the best I can with what I've got.'  He then quietly looked at the man and searchingly inquired, 'Look here,
friend, you've got grammar enough. What are you doing with it for the
Master?'

God is looking for people today who will decide to take what they have and totally commit it to be used for the Master.

Perhaps a future Dwight L. Moody is reading this right now."

  I know I do not yet have a grammer enough, But I give my heart to the master.  I know he can undarstand me even more than I can at times.

I am away for some weeks and it is hard for me to see the CP at times. I did get to come here to read at times and it is my hope You all know you are in my heart.  It is wonderful to come here and read your words and to know you all as my friends.

There are some I wish to welcome here. I did not yet get to meet them.

Ms Angela,
Ajewel

Ms Anne Coughey

I know you will love the friends here. I do hope you will know me as your friend too.

There are still so many days I did not yet get to read. I hope you will all forgive me that my note is so short.

I  Pray for you mr Jerry

And I hope it is a wonderful week for everyone.

Look who's online right now!!!

Ria requested this...

It's so good, Trish, to hear from you.  We were all rather concerned about you sweetie.

I somehow lost the posting and have to start again.  So, thank you Pat for the devotional.  I just played the music and sang along.  It does much to soothe the soul.  Are you the one playing the piano?  You seem to be a lady of many talents.

Be strong Jacob.  I will also pray for your Trish and am so sorry this has happened.

Thank you Larry for you words of wisdom.  Agree that we need to be centred on God in order to have happiness.  

I will pray that things go well for you Marilyn.  Agree completely with what you said to PHNH.  True Christians want to help not hurt.  My morning devotional was about that very thing and focused on how a little kindness can make a big difference.  There was a little poem at the btm. of the page:

   It was only a brief little note,
   Or a word that was prayerfully spoken,
   Yet not in vain, for it soothed the pain
   Of a heart that was nearly broken.     -Anon.


Oh Mieka, so happy to see you again and loved the pictures.  Hope that you are once again nice and warm.

Papa John, I love the picture of you and your wife and the gentleness seem to just reach out and touch one.  Your words are always so true.

We still are badly in need of rain here on the island and the fire hazard is extreme.  Days are cooler but not a drop of rain falling.  Will trust that it will come soon....Have a nice evening all.  God Bless, Liz.

hello hello hello

I think we have our modem problems fixed, but things seem a bit slower.  I don't remember if I've posted today or not.

Sorry you had a rough evening Trish.  That had to be scary.

Glad to see Jerry posting again.

To PWNH, I guess if we were all honest, we could probably tell you about a time in our life when we felt the same way you did.  It is unfortunate (and grieves Christ, no doubt), but I think the deepest pain I have ever had came at the "hands" of other believers.  I heard it once said that Christians were the only ones who shot their wounded.  It SHOULD NOT be that way, but sometimes we  let our own perceptions of our righteousness get in the way of our perceptions of our Holy Father.

HI MIEKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to those that have joined in the past day or two.  I am not sure if I am coming or going, and I honestly don't remember if I have welcomed you all or not.  We are a pretty cool bunch of people, I think, and I believe you will find some good cyber-fellowship here!

Hi, friends,

It's so good to read messages from and about all of you and to pray for the requests. I love you all.

I'll be working BIG TIME for the next 3 or 4 weeks.

My health is slowly improving and I hope the extra work won't delay my recovery.

I'll post as I have the time - tonight I'm wound up and am having trouble falling asleep. I imagine sleep will come when God wills it.

Y'all have a good evening.

Ruth Ann

It's time to lock the door.

Let's all remember to pray for each other tomorrow.
