Christian Photographers Community

Oh, Janet!  You're getting photos ready to post?  Yippee!  I can hardly wait!  

Thanks for sharing that, Chris.  I meant to tell you before... Pastor Tozer was the pastor of a very large church in Toronto.  We as a family went to hear him a few times over the years.  It was sad when he died.

Yes, Etta Sue, it's wonderful that we might have some folks come here from your church!  Great job, girl!

Oh, gotta get a refill in my cup.

Karma has been to the eye doctor this morning...

He says there's nothing wrong with her eyes (20/20 and 20/15, no glaucoma, etc), and that if the headaches continue to see her family doctor.  

I hope that's good.  I'm going to put her on a computer time restriction of about 2 hours a day and make her go to bed before midnight until this clears up, but she really doesn't know that yet  

TTYL!

Thanks for the report, Nards.  Anything to do with the eyes is certainly scary.  I think I'd be seeing the family doctor as well.

Good man Nards...
put your foot down with a firm hand!

Thank you Iain for that great devotional.  

I have missed being on CP.    My computer has given me so much trouble.     Kevin,   my son   (you all remember him with the funny face)   fixed it, but when I hooked everything up the keyboard wouldn't work.   I am now typing on an old keyboard.  

Pat,     I am praying for you,    asking God to heal your eyes and  that you will feel His Touch today in your life.    God Bless.

Will post again tonight.  


Love Ruthie

Oh, it's so good to see you posting, Ruthie!  I'm glad that your old keyboard works.  It was so nice speaking with you on the phone a little while ago.

It has often been said, and with truth, that Christianity is the only religion that can deal with man's past. God can 'restore unto us the years that the locust hath eaten' Not because of what we are but because of what He is. God forgives and heals and restores. He is 'the God of all grace.' Let us praise Him and trust Him[/color].

Lots to think about in your devotion today, Iain.  Not because of what WE are but because of what HE IS!  Wow!  Isn't that wonderful to meditate on?  

Thanks for jumping in today and opening a new topic for all of us.

Good man Nards...

We'll see how much of a man I am when she beats me half to death!!!!!

Thanks for the great devotional Iain.  You are such a blessing to everyone at CP.

I recently finished a story by a Christian author:  'Not A Sparrow Falls.'  There was a line that has really stayed in my mind.  An elderly grandmother told her repenting grandchild, "Don't make no difference what you have done.  YOU CAN'T OUTSIN THE CROSS."  

Thanks for the links Sonja.  You and your family will remain in my daily prayers.

Nita, I sometimes feel like what you said, "Like God has given me a new heart...again."  

So glad that you are back Pat.  I pray for you each day and hope that you will listen all those folks saying, SLOW DOWN PAT.

Must go and get ready to see a Specialist this morning.  They want to take a look inside with a Scope...Talk about invasion of privacy.  Not worried as the new medicine is helping and its simply a tempest in a teapot..or some such nonsense!

Good luck Nards....!   Can you put a lock on the computer???

God Bless.

Well Nards,  if she leaves you half dead, you will still be half alive.
Think positively lol.

Iain.............

Thank you for your time and love to all.


Yesterday, I called Mary Shackelford at the hospital and she's in pretty bad shape.  She told me she was afraid (She's dying from cancer).  I asked her if she was strong enough to listen to a story.  She said she was, and I told her the following.

"When my brother Bob died in 1985, pastor John MacArthur conducted the services and told us a story of what happens to a Christian when he dies.  There was a man and his wife who lived in the woods with their very young son.  The father had to go to town and the boy asked if he could go with him. Now what father wouldn't want his son to accompany him on a journey to town?  It had been raining heavily and the river was swollen, and the wind was blowing heavily.  They dressed for the weather and then walked through the woods until they got to the river.  The storm was far greater than the father had thought, and the river was lashing at the ridges of the banks.  It was running so strong it had knocked the bridge down and the only thing left were the pilings.  Knowing he had to take care of business in town, the father took his son by the hand and they very carefully stepped from one piling to the other with the water licking their heels, untill they had crossed the river.   Arriving safely in town, the father conducted his business but it took longer than expected.  It was dark by the time they started toward the woods, and as they worked their way into the darkness the little boy began to cry.  His father asked him why he was crying and the boy said:  "Daddy, the bridge was destroyed by the river and now that it's dark and we won't be able to cross and we'll fall into the river."  His father reached down, cuddling his son in his arms and soon the boy went to sleep.  When the boy awoke he was in his own room, the sun was shining through the door, and his father was standing in the doorway watching over him.  That is how it will be for us.  When we die, our father will be there to protect us, He will hold us close to Him, we'll go to sleep, and we'll awake in our own room, with our Father watching over us."

Mary's voice brightened, there was joy in her heart, and she said that that was what she wanted to hear.  She then said she wasn't afraid anymore. Our God is so good.

The wise and diligent traveler watches his every step, and always has his eyes upon the part of the road directly in front of him. But he does not turn constantly backward to count every step, and to examine every track. He would lose time in going forward.

You're a good man Lee.

Lee, that was a beautiful story!

Nards, I'm praying for you!  

Okay, I have posted and posted and posted photos.  Some in each thread under Photos!

Darrel has been busy making noodles!  Mmmmmmm!  (More photos to follow!  No stopping place!)

Oh, Lee...  What a wonderful story to tell your friend.  I'm so sorry that she's scared.  Let's all pray for this dear saint.  Soon she'll be singing,

Thanks so much, Chris.

Jack used to sing this so often...in the shower.  He changed the "We" to "I".  Thanks for getting that midi so quickly.

You are welcome my sister.

Chris thank you for the nice hymn

Ria, that is interesting to know.  I didn't realize they took on all the names of the family.  I don't know to much about the princes and princess'.  
I called the doctor today and they haven't called back.  If they don't call me back in a couple of hours I just might go down there.

Love this quote! Thanks for sharing it.  I will remember this.

Lee~Lovely story!  I will keep your friend in my prayers.

Janet~Thank you!   (((hug)))

Chris~Thanks for the link to the song! Don't believe I've heard it before.

Hello Jerry!!!  How are you doing?  Have you got your tree up yet?  Did you get your brakes fixed?  Let us in on the happenings!

hey ya'll,
We are out of school today SNOW DAY! it should be fun just me and my mom (she took off of work because its too bad to drive all the way there!) well i'm off to go rest and get over what i've got and hopefully get my voice back ttyl
Sarah

Do you have any coloring books?  You should get them out and color with your mom.  It should bring back memories for you two and maybe get in a few laughs.  I do that with my 14 year old still. He loves it.  

Hope your throat feels better!

Sonja

I talked to the Nurse at the doctors office just a minute ago.  The hospital in Rapid City are faxing the results to their office as I type.  The nurse said the doctor will look at them and then he will call me.  

As soon as I hear the news I will post it.  Thanks again for all your prayers.

Sonja

Thanks for the News Flash, Sonja.  I pray that the results will be ones that you'll be happy with.

ATTENTION JERRY!!  I am going to post some photos especially for you, so be sure to look at them.  I will call them "What kind of car is this?"

Waiting for that good report, Sonja!

Hello every one:

Thanks Iain and Jenny
I enjoyed both devotionals today.  It is always nice to read those posted here as well as my private worship time spent with the Father.  

Pat:  It is so good to see you back so soon, I am hoping you continue to improve.    

Chris: You are faster than a cat on wheels.  Pat no sooner had the hymn "I am going to see the King" posted and you had the music.  Wow!  

Lee: That was a great story and I know it gives comfort to those that know they have only a short time left here.  It is also a good story for all of us, for we do not know when the "night cometh" for any of us.
Thank you for posting it.

Sonja: I hope you get good news from your Doctor.  You remind me of my Oldest Daughter with your posting abilities and your sense of humor.  Now you know what I think of you, because I love My Daughter.  
 

Thanks Boots...  It's good to be back.


Sonja, we learned that little song in Belfast.  Whenever we went to Belfast, we went into the city a couple of nights a week to meetings at the Crescent Church by Deryk Bingham and he taught it to us.  We sang it most nights at the meetings.  

Boots Hello Brother.  I just popped in for a few minutes.  It's bedtime for me over in England. 10.30 p.m. although if this night is anything like the last I shall be sitting in the lounge by the fire as its icy cold and sleep eludes me. I came down at 3 a.m. this morning, made tea and toast to warm myself up and little Sunday dog came too, of course. I actually spend the time praying quietly and I do think of you all at such times.

I tested the waters again on my scooter this afternoon but I got no farther than the post box..oh dear, try again another day.  It's far too cold for me.

Pat Praying for you dear sister.  Hope you have a good sleep tonight and feel properly rested in the morning.  "Do as I say, not as I do".......Not so, I really have cut down on my "puter" time.  I had a horrendous couple of days recently with my eyes and head.  Better now, I listened to my body, yes I did.  Pat take note!

I am going to say Goodnight now dear ones,
God Bless,
Sleep tight.
Jenny X

Soon and very soon ... We used to sing that song a LOT as I was growing up in church.  I haven't heard it for a while. Thanks, PAT and CHRIS!

SONJA~I'm joining the group in the "waiting" room for your test results.    

It's raining this afternoon, so looks like Nita and I will be staying indoors after all.  Maybe tomorrow?  Or the next day?  Or....  

JANET~Can I look at those photos, too?  Huh? Can I? Purty pleeeze?  

Nard's not home from work, yet, so that is why I am able to be on the 'puter!!  I promise to try and post as much as possible, but you heard what he said!  (Like I'm gonna listen to him) hahah

OK, I was going to post a corny poem, but it was just too much.  hahaha

Soni, I hope your report is good.

Pat, I hope your eyes clear up.  

Take care all, I will try to be back later, Lord willing and Bernard doesn't look!

A little song for Janet! hehehhe...
