Nice new photo Nards.

It looks like the rain has stopped for a little while, i will call Bea and see if the water at her place has gone down engough for me to palk in from the parking lot.

For now I am only checking in here for a few to see what's up?

TTYL

Jerry and I are back from having breakfast with our friend from Minnesota.  I had met her before but Jerry just met her this morning.  Besides Cracker Barrel is a great place to eat, visit and do a little shopping besides.

Nards ~ Hey, man!  You are looking good!  Forgot to comment earlier but then I was in a rush!!

Rachelle ~ So great to see you posting!  I know we are busy but it is great to see you take some time to post a few words.

I am going to see "The Passion of the Christ".  I don't like violence.  I may have to shut my eyes and cover my ears with my hands but I want to be one that will up the ratings so that Hollywood will find out what type of shows John Q Public really wants to see....not all the garbage they try to force down our throats.  I, personally, think that Mel Gibson did a very good job in his interview.  I loved it when asked 'Who killed Jesus?" and without a second of hesitation, he said, "We did.  We all did."  

Even before I have seen the movie, I will purchase the VHS or DVD of it when it comes out and I don't even have a DVD player!!!!

Hey there, ETTA SUE!  Was that Joan L. (Northern Joan) you and Jerry had breakfast with?  I have met with her several times ... she even came to Coos Bay once and Nita and I had lunch with her!... a really neat lady, fer shur!

And... I just have to say Hi to ANGEL!!!    
I know your g-ma has her 'puter in the shop today, but you'll be here soon and get to see all your welcome cards!  I think it's great that you have come to join our other teens in the teen room...and here, too!  Love you!

I love to sing the Psalms.  I wonder if you do as well.

Good Afternoon All..

Karmat~No WW didn't really work for me   But, I know that I need to find something that does work for me because I need to get rid of this weight-I know its not healthy for me..Just a personally choice for myself..I have found it harder this time to loose the weight. But, I know that the Lord will give me guidance and wisdom to get  through this.
Yes, I  have (Run) 3 online ministries..One is a private group called The Heart of a Mother-It consist of 10 ladies including me-it is private mainly because the original group closed due to some problems and the ladies wanted a private group.
The 2nd group I have is Christ Centered Mommies it is an open group and there are 6 ladies there..I do daily devotionals and Scriptures of the day-weekly prayer request. And it is a place for Christian Mommies to be able to come and be themselves and to be encouraged and build up in the Lord.
The Weight loss group is Called Temples for Christ-these are all at Yahoogroups.com
I would love to see you ladies that wanted to join.
ok-thats about it on those things-
I am still waiting for my computer to be fixed, the parts won't be in till tomorrow..We have finished school for the day-so now I just have to be a good wife and mommy and get other things done-like housework etc.
I have also signed up for more Psp lessons so I need to get those caught up.
Hope you all have a blessed day.
Hugs in Jesus
Rachelle

*PS my husband recorded the Mel Gibson interview and so I will watch it later.

Hi Rachelle...

I just got my week 2 PSP lessons sent in last night.  Now I'm going to try to get week 3 done.  I love working with PSP though.  Who are you doing your lessons with?


I know what you're talking about regarding the weight for sure!

It is exciting that you have started a Teen Site here on CP, Pat.  Would it be helpful to contact some of the existing Christian Teen sites and also some of the churches on the web, informing them about the New Christian site for Teens?  This is a wonderful opportunity for them to help one another...or be helped.  CP has spread by some of us being invited to pop in and check out what is happening....so those who went fishing did catch some fish!!  They ventured forth and cast a wide net....God Bless.  Liz

Hi Everyone.

I have read all the post from yesterday and today.  The discussions were very interesting.

I must however give you all the definition of Fundamentalist and Evangelicals.

A Fundamentalist is one who uses a tripod with their camera in a set position.

The Evangelicals use their hands and let the camera swing freely.

The snow has all gone in my neck of the woods.  I played golf yesterday.  I washed my dirty car and worked in my very small onion bed today.

That is all I have time for now, I must get ready for our annual Home Owners Association Meeting tonight.

Remember friends "Christians are not perfect they are just forgiven."

Boots I rather like your definition of the difference. By your definition one can be both.

Back from the Dr. and from Bea's place. The rain quit for aqhile and the sun came out. As I went to Arcata I noticed that the Mad River is way up.

I had an EKG, and am scheduled for the Mammogram and an Echocardiogram on March 2. I have a history of a murmur and MVP and haven't been tested in 20 years. I guess it is about time.

On to check the other folders.

Hi Everyone:

I saw the interview with Mel Gibson and Diane Sawyer
last night.   It was very good.   No matter what she said and tried to get him "off track"  he would not be.  

I'm going out tonight with my team to talk to a Filipino couple about the Lord.   Please pray and I will report back later tonight.

God Bless

Ruthie

HI Ruthie.  I love your new picture!

I love your name.  You must be a surfer.    Come on in and tell us about yourself.  

QuoteTell him when he passes Exit 37 (in North Carolina) on I-40 that he is where I get ON that Interstate every day going to work, and then when he turns down I-26 and passes Exit 53 (old exit 22) that he is where I get OFF the Interstate every day as I go to work.  So who knows.  We may well cross paths on his trip and never even know it  

Nards, I phoned John as soon as I read your post.  He was rerouted today and guess what he is going to Commerce GA!  Be on the lookout for a Canadian truck, White with green accents and the name Bakke's on the doors!  Honk loud and long he will get the message.  He won't have time to stop this time, but perhaps the next trip!  We both think this is so neat that we are getting to know people in the US.  Thanks.

Pat when are you going to VA with John?  Call and talk to him sometime!

Well time to get going, laundry to fold, and a rug to put down!

Love All

Hello Angel..

Your grandma told me about you...

I am glad you are enjoying it on C.P.  Is our Zach looking after you?

See you again.

Jenny.

HI Jenny!  How is your evening going?

Did you ride the scooter today?  

Soni

Just checking in here for a few minutes, just got through running the virus scan (Stinger) on my computer and removing a couple of things I no longer needed. Cleaning up the computer.

Just popping in to say hello to everyone.  Nice to see you back again Rachelle.

Hello Papa John.  I was happy to see that you were feeling well enough to give such a wonderful and warm post yesterday.

Hello to all the newcomers.

And now I'm off.  I have to catch up on some banking items and must also make some SHORTBREAD COOKIES!

Have a good evening everyone!

FOR SUCH A WORM AS I:  I remember reading about that hymn here a day or two ago, I think the song was even posted here....funny thing, today while on the road, I'm listening to a Greater Vision CD and what comes up, but "At the Cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light"  Another of the songs that I love to sing the bass part.

MEL GIBSON:  Pat Robertson said last night that Mel put up his own money ($20 Million.)  He also said that advance sales have already topped $35 Million and that this is unheard of with this type of film.

I don't know if any of you worried about Mel losing his money, but I did.  "Oh yea of little faith."

I do not like Diane Sawyer and I sure didn't like the way she tried to bait Mel with her questions.

He was Mister Cool when answering all those baited questions.....Good Show, Mate!

I liked his response to "Who killed Jesus?"  One thing he said was that there weren't any Norwegians there.

Then she tried to get something going about his Dad.  He said, "I love my Dad"....then when she persisted, he said.... "Don't go there Diane, I love my Dad."

This is atypical...maybe we disagree with a lifestyle or something that is done, but we still love the person.  Mel loves his Dad and that came out best of all.

Anyone with kids can attest to that....even grown kids disappoint us at times.  If we're honest enough, I'll bet we parents disappoint our kids as well!!!!!

Jenny..........

Long time no communicate.  Hello to you.  I have a question.  In the so-called "Superstar" movie, how do you handle "He's just a man"?  I was repulsed by Satan's production to sway the unsaved that Jesus Christ "Was just a man."  Never saw the movie and won't.  That song alone has helped to keep me away.  I also am sickened by there calling Jesus Christ a "Superstar."  Hollywood may call themselves stars, but Jesus Christ is the Messiah God Almighty.  This is what we should let the unsaved world know.
I don't mean to be argumentative at all Jenny, I love and respect you as a sister in the Lord.  I simply feel it necesary to stand-up for Christ among fellow believers.

Liz...........

I wanted to see the Gibson interview but missed it.  Did he say that the movie showed why Jesus was crucified?  I mean His dying in the cross for the sins of mankind and for their salvation?  I've given several sermons on the murder and torture of our Lord, and I always stressed the horrors of what He had to go through for me.  It was ugly, and I personally believe everyone should know just what He went through for us.  It may be just my opinion, but I believe the words "He died for me" falls short  when we tell this to the lost souls of this world.  I pray the movie does in fact tell why He died.  If it doesn't, I'm going to print the purpose of His dying (Man's salvation), and I'm going to stand at the door when the people leave the theater, and I'm going to pass them out.

Eddie..........

Just read your last post.

LOVE YA.  You speak well.

 

  PRAYFORSURF  TO  CP

Possibly you should have addressed that question to me Lee.  I was the one who started the subject.  In reply:  When I saw Jesus Christ Superstar, I was not a Christian...at least not a 'born again Christian.'  I had come through a terrible time in my life and was a witness to terrible hypocrisy by people who claimed to be that very thing.  My late sister-in-law literally dragged me to the theatre.  For some reason still unknown to me, I cried all thro' the movie, so moved by the beauty of the music...not the words.  So moved by the story...not the perfection of the script.  Something happened that made me long to learn more....which I have been doing ever since.  I became a 'born again Christian' and have searched for deeper truth since.  As stated before in my post....God will use many ways to lead people to truth.  That is why I hope he will use Mel Gibson's movie to lead other non-believers to the Lord.  Not because I feel that we need to dwell on the agony of Christ.  If that is what is needed to touch people today, possibly that is because we live with violence everywhere and it is best understood in this time and place.  To me that is very sad.  I prefer to dwell in a light place, on the love and teachings of Christ.  Not on the sadness and agony of his death on the cross.  To be aware of it, yes.  To dwell on it, no.

It is not my intention to offend anyone and I am sorry if stating my opinion has done so.  Have learned that there is much that exists beneath the correct words and pat answers that many give today.  So have learned to examine and look for both the good and bad.  God Bless.

Your post was written as I was writing mine.  Yes Lee, he did and I believe he understands.  However, there were things brought out in the interview that does not  leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

FYI

A wonderful Christian (now) singer was in that movie, I'm not sure but I think he played Jesus Christ. His name is Jeff Fenholt. His testimoy of his salvation is incredible. He was also in the group Black Sabbath  as was Ozzy Osborne. He has been on the TBN trips to Russia and on TBN lots of times.
