Mullet

God sure does like it when I study my Bible and have prayer times at home as I can't get to church much at the moment. You got it, O.K! Don't worry though.  I had Holy communion at home three weeks running. God is looking after me "young un."

Happy Valentine's to you too.
Lots of chocs eh?  

Message from Christopher



Thankyou Marilyn Pat Larry and Ria for birthday wishes.
I have just got in and have had a very nice day, I went to see Master and Commander with Russell Crowe- it was amazing!!!
Love from chris

Sonja, you can send me a check anytime.  I can always use a couple of extra dollars.

Jenny, Happy Birthday to Chris.  Cornelia and I went to see Master and Commander a few weeks ago.  It was very well done and we enjoyed it.

Al, I'm glad you had a good week end and a successful time visiting in Davis.

Marilyn, we have a Dollar Tree near us.  I think it is Cornelia's favorite store.  I like the cookies and candy which I don't need but which I eat anyway.

We will have our supper a little early tonight because we go to our mid-week meeting.  We are having fish tonight which isn't my favorite but it is good.  I like fish when it is dropped in cornmeal and then fried but Cornelia doesn't make fried food anymore.  Baked fish is all right but not as good as fried fish.

But I don't want to complain.  We are so fortunate to have so many material blessings.

1 Tim 6:6-10
6   But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7   For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8   And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9   But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10   For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.  (KJV)

Hi Joyce, love your pictures of the deer in the snow.  Great shot.

Ria, thank you for that little poem.  It makes me feel wonderful inside.


WELCOME  CBNTMKR  Does your name mean or have something to do with a tentmaker?   Like the apostle Paul!  

Sue,   it must be hard right now for you.   Praise God your husband is in heaven!

Hi Sarah, hope your day was wonderful after getting a good night's sleep.

Janet, I bet your art class went very well.   I can remember when I took art lessons.   Some days were wonderful and some days were frustrating and I wished I had quit painting while I was ahead.

Jenny, I have a friend who is a Muslem.   She is the technician at my work who does the mammograms and she is very good.   I can always recommend her.  Zari is from Iran and we like each other.  One day she will know Jesus as her Saviour.

Hi Al, what a great report about the church in Davis, CA where you were preaching.  I'm sure the congregation loved you.   It reminds me of the time I was in South Africa.   Boy could the congregation sing!  The sure didn't need microphones!

Judy, thank you for the scripture Nahum 1:7  The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble.  He cares for those who trust in Him.   Praise God.

Papa John,   so good to see you.  It is wonderful that you can meet with the brethren and worship together.  Yes it is the highlight of my week
also.

Sonja... I love your post with all the little characters moving across the screen.   I would love to do the same.   Need to learn.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS

Mullet,   that sure is funny the way you describe our Mommy.  Is she bouncing up and down on the tramboline!



I hope everyone is planning on seeing "The Passion of Christ"   Apparently the ten Boom Holocaust Center in Ha'arlem, Holland, has launched a prayer and letter campaign to Mel Gibson to add a postscript to the film that will be shown in anti-Semitic countries to deter those countries from using the movie to incite Jew-hatred. The statement would say at the end of the movie, "During the roman occupation more than 250,000 Jews were crucified by the Romans, but only one rose from the dead."   The movie will be translated into Russian, Arabic, French and dozens of other languages.    Please pray that God will use this movie to draw people to Himself and speak to Christians about their walk with Him.
God Bless


Love Ruthie

No she is just very excited to be going to get a new cam.

Mom, Troy, dad, and Me, are also excited!!!        

I'm not to well I think I have a slite cold.
I am also veryyyyyyy tired, and cold, But when I feel My skin I feel hot. I might take a bath.

Love you all!!
goodnight

Mullet, sounds as though you have a fever.    Bath and bed are probably just the ticket.  

We got Gene's new glasses today, which had to be paid for "up front" and now we wait to see how much of the cost the insurance will reimburse.  One place in the coverage explanations it says one pair of glasses for a cataract removal and in another place it says one lens.   Whatever it is, it will be a help.

We continue to have warm sun during the day, just melting a little of the surface of the snow.  Then it freezes again overnight leaving an icy crust.  It looks beautiful when the sun reflects off of it, but it's really rough on the animals like deer, whose legs can get pretty banged up - even broken, when they break through the crust.

I'm done taking a bath now step two bed Night everyone!!
see you in the morning!

Goodnight, sweet Zachery, the one who sometimes holds props and sometimes holds lights, but always posts very cute graphics and is our little sweetheart.  (Will you be my Valentine?)  Please be well tomorrow! (((hugs)))

Papa John, I am SO glad you are able to walk and that you got such a great report from your doctor!!  Wonderful news!!

Today, I had a much better time in class, and apologized to my painting buddy Dee, who sits next to me, for the grousing I did yesterday.  Guess I was just having a bad day, but today I took time to pray, that is what makes the difference!!!  If you're too busy to pray, you're too busy!

I am tired and want to watch Jack Van Impe preach on End Times Prophecy, which is coming on TBN in a couple of minutes.

I get it!!  cbntmkr----CABINETMAKER---RIGHT???  Kool!

Hey, Sonja---more cute graphics, I need to leatn some of those!

Ruthie, Mel Gibson did add that to the end of the movie, I got an email about it a couple of weeks ago.  I heard on the radio today that the Passion movie will be showing in all of our area theaters beginning Feb. 25th.  I hope I can go---have to drive at least 60 miles one way to see it, though.

LOL - Janet beat me to it.... CABINETMAKER!!! - I was going to guess that too, Janet.  Whatever., we all welcome him very sincerely!

Oh Marilyn - that truly was a sad site!

Zach., are you feeling better tonight?  A warm bath, getting into your jams, and crawling into bed with a good book is such good therapy when not feeling well...agree??

Sue:  I am praying for you today.  My good friend, Audrey, whose husband passed away last Saturday, told me today that she isn't sure if her husband was saved.  I tried my best to comfort her...it was VERY difficult knowing what to say.  I did say though "well, Audrey, he knew the way of salvation, you just don't know what went on between he and the Lord".
was that a decent thing to say to her?  Can anyone tell me?  

What would YOU have said?  I'd really like to know, as I've been in a situation like this before.  Its hard to know what all to say, isn't it!

Well after hearing that suggestion about a hot bath, getting into my jammies and crawling into bed with a good book sounds pretty attractive to me too Judy.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow.

Love Ruthie

I just read your post again Judy and I believe you said the right thing to Audrey.  It is true that we don't know what goes on between a person's heart and the Lord.  I sometimes tell a new Christian when talking about prayer that "God knows our thoughts" and God can read a person's mind and hear his thoughts at any time.

I remember talking to a very old lady in the hospital and I made the suggestion that all she had to do was to "ask Jesus to come into her heart" and he would come in.   She could hardly talk so all she had to do was say a prayer in her heart and Christ would come in for sure.   The next day the lady was not in the room.  I know God had me talk to her at just the right time.

Judy, you said the right thing.    God bless

Love Ruthie

Well, closing the door a little early tonight.  I have a sore back and I have more Avon to pack tomorrow and get delivered so I'm going to be resting up.  I've been told by some loving folks that I should get the door closed earlier anyway so that I can get my rest.  

So, let's fill tomorrow's up before morning!  LOL

Here's a link!

Judy, I agree with Ruthie.  Only God knows the heart of a person and we just can't know what happened in the heart of the person in those final moments.  I think your answer was just fine.
