Morning Devotional...



And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:15


The town of Chepstow in South Wales is one of the gateway towns from the country's border with England. A stroll through it while on holiday caught my imagination when I saw a hotel called "The Five Alls."

The facade of the building was bedecked with five life-size figures with inscriptions as follows:

• A soldier with the inscription "I fight all;"
  
• a bishop with "I pray for all;"
  
• a king, "I rule all;"
  
• a lawyer, "I plead for all;"  
  
• a banker, "I pay all."

What an opportunity to preach a message concerning Christ in that town by adding two other themes represented in His blessed person:

• "I love all"
  
  
• "I died for all."

--B. Powlesland

What did Paul do to Timothy because of the Jews?

• Sent him to Macedonia
  
         
• Shaved his hair
  
         
• Circumcised him
  
         
• Hid him in a synagogue[/b]

U.K. 5.50 a.m.


Timothy:-

Him would Paul have to go with him: and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.  The Acts (of some Apostles) 16:3

Every Blessing in Christ Jesus.

Pat:  Thanks for the devotional this morning.

Ria:  I love reading your posts, they are uplifting and informing, following the weather in other parts of the world and then comparing it to ours is very interesting.

Jenny: I like doing jigsaws of which I get a daily e-mail but I have not done the ones on CP for some time. Will check them out later today.


Blessing

Maybe I am early enough to be on page one today!  The sun is shining, God's in His heaven, all's right with the world!  (But not IN it.)

I feel like myself again today, and for that I am praising God.  I can't stay down in the dumps for long!  No good to myself or anyone else when I am feeling down.  But there come those days (rarely for me, thank God) when the trials of life, combined with a lack of sleep, really pull us down----but "Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world."

BEEP BEEP!   ;D

Good morning/afternoon folks!

Troy has another swim meet this morning at 10:30am.

They bumped him up to the A team, which is with the best swimmers last night.  Not sure what they have planned to do today with him.  

The coach said, "he is doing really good."  
Troy swam the 500yd freestyle last night and got a 6.23 min. The coach said, that most kids who have been swimming for 2 years can't get that good of score." Troy's goggles came off even when he dove of the block, so his eyes were all red and he could barely see.  :(
He was excited and so was his team.  He took 7th in the over all heat.  Which is excellent since he was swimming with the A team.

He will swim the 100yd butterfly and the 50 free today.  I am so jazzed.  I love watching the kids swim.
It is going to be crowded there today with 30 different schools there. The girls we also be swimming today. Ugh...what a mess.

I better get going.

I love you all.
Soni[/color]

SONI..how proud you must be of Troy.  I will be pulling for him.  It is 10:40 EST right now and I thing you are 2 hrs behind me.  Anyway, I will be thinking and praying for you.  

I agree with you, Ruth, about Ria's postings. I look forward to seeing just what's going on in Holland and then love to read her quotes.

Today it is beautiful and not too cold.  In fact the temps are in the high 40's.  

I am going to Myrtle Beach tonight and to see the broadway play tomorrow.....Les Miserables.  I have been given tickets for a present and  am really looking forward to it.  I dearly love the ocean and beach.  When I am there it is soooooooo relaxing.  I wish I could afford to retire there and just listen to the waves washing on shore everyday.  

God's blessings to all .  Will be back after the weekend.    

love, kathy

Good Morning:Pat thank you for the devotion.
Janet glad to hear you are back to being youself again.
Ria, I hope you will be feeling better as the day progresses.
Jenny; Bless you dear sister.
Sonja: WooHoo for Troy, you go Troy.

Today I am doing my laundry in my new washer Ya--hoo!!

The kids finally got here about 9 pm last night broght me 1/2 of a German Chocolate cake. (My Favorite by the way) and a Gift certificate for a one hour threaputic massage at  Dynamic Therapies. I will call and make an apppointment soon.

Both dogs are standing on the couch looking out the back window over the fence at the neighbors dogs and whining. Poor babies have to be confined to our yard. Better for them that way.I would rather have them safe than to be out in the neighborhood.

Kathy, that has always been a dream of mine--to live near the beach and the ocean......... 8)  Even if it never comes to be; it's a good dream!

Marilyn, it sounds as if you had a terrific birthday--good for you!

Ria, I also enjoy your posts.  Keep them coming, please!

Morning, Sonja!  Another busy "kid day" for you!  Good going, Troy!  You're the man!

Beth came over to sign her tax returns that Darrel prepared for her, so I made her breakfast.  At least I know she ate one solid meal today. ;)

Talk to you later, kids! ;D

Kathy ~ I wish I were going to Myrtle Beach with you.  I love that area!  Lots of memories at Myrtle Beach.

Sonja ~ Thank you for your encouragement on the devotion.  If you use it for your website, maybe you should say it was from 'The Daily Bread'.  I am praying that Troy does great at his swim meet.  And Lila Mae....what a moment!

Tony called me again last night and talked for over an hour.  He doesn't like this night shift...5pm-5am...but I think I do.  He calls me about every other night.  Also they are to be here this evening and we are going out for dinner...my way of paying him for fixing the garage door.  BTW, I did walk out there this morning and it was frozen to the pavement.  I got it loose and it works fine.  Just remembered, I walked out there to get a cassette of the Youth Ministers sermon last weekend...forgot to get it!

It is snowing!!!  All is white.  New fallen snow.  No brown from polution yet!

Hi Pat,   I enjoyed the devotional this morning and the answer is Circumcised.

Love Ruthie

Ria sorry you couldn't sleep.   Have you tried drinking "Sleepy Time Tea"   before you go to bed.  Do not drink regular tea because it has caffein in it. Not good for sleeping.  Another trick is to drink warm milk with your calcium pill and then put socks on.  Apparently if you have warm feet it keeps you sleeping,    Hope some of these help tonight!

Love Ruthie

Janet, happy to hear you are feeling "up" today.   I know sometimes I feel "down" because of life.   It is good to know that "no matter what" we have a Saviour who loves us so.

God Bless

Ruthie

By the way Janet...I like your new picture of yourself.  From my first post to you to the next, it changed.  haha

Love Ruthie

Hey, you guys are good!

Yes, "CIRCUMCISED" is the correct answer!

Acts 16:3  says:
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

Which book has "A soft answer turneth away wrath"?

       

• Psalms
  
         
• Proverbs
  
         
• Ecclesiastes
  
         
• Song of Solomon

[/b][/size][/color]

Some of us really need to know that Jesus Cares!

Happy belated birthday Marilyn.  I'm glad to hear that your day was a nice one.

Happy Anniverysary Judy and John.

Thank you for the beautiful songs.  I hate to shut them off, but must as housework is calling.

I have a new face today!  Thank you to "you know who!" for that.

I just posted a lot of underwater photos in the Photographs Here area, hope you will all go look and comment.  I still have more to do, but no time just now.  It may be better to break it into two parts, anyway, I wouldn't want to tire anyone out!  Hope you enjoy!

I came back to guess that the answer is Proverbs! (If I am wrong, I will get my concordance and look it up!)

Hey Everyone!

Go and see Janet's fantastic underwater photos!  They are awesome!

The Holy Spirit: We Need to Repent

Do not quench the Spirit.  
--1 Thessalonians 5:19

It is time for us to repent, for our transgressions against the
blessed Third Person have been many and much aggravated. We have
bitterly mistreated Him in the house of His friends. We have
crucified Him in His own temple as they crucified the Eternal Son
on the hill above Jerusalem. And the nails we used were not of
iron, but of the finer and more precious stuff of which human
life is made. Out of our hearts we took the refined metals of
will and feeling and thought, and from them we fashioned the
nails of suspicion and rebellion and neglect. By unworthy
thoughts about Him and unfriendly attitudes toward Him we grieved
and quenched Him days without end.

The truest and most acceptable repentance is to reverse the acts
and attitudes of which we repent....

We can best repent our neglect by neglecting Him no more. Let us
begin to think of Him as One to be worshipped and obeyed. Let us
throw open every door and invite Him in. Let us surrender to Him
every room in the temple of our hearts and insist that He enter
and occupy as Lord and Master within His own dwelling.  The
Pursuit of Man, 71-72.

"Forgive me. Change me. Indwell me. Control me. Amen."
---------------------------------------------------------------------

RUTHIE i have always socks on in the winter then it is not so cold when i must from bed. The last night i have walk a lot trough the house
and i trink mostly before i go to bed tea with honey
that is mostly making very sleepy.

JANET a lovely new photo of you.

BYE LOVE RIA

Oh, Chris, what a timely message you've brought to us today!  Thanks for that.

QuoteLet us begin to think of Him as One to be worshipped and obeyed. Let us throw open every door and invite Him in. Let us surrender to Him every room in the temple of our hearts and insist that He enter and occupy as Lord and Master within His own dwelling.  
The Pursuit of Man, 71-72.

"Forgive me. Change me. Indwell me. Control me. Amen."

I will say my AMEN along with Pat on your post Chris.  Proverbs Pat

Janet I like your new photo you look great, no wonder Darrell married you. 8)

I have a 2:30 appointment at the hairdresser for a haircut. I am contemplating getting my looooong hair cut off to about shoulder length. Trying to eventually get it to all one length and get the perm cut off. Can't do it all at once though, I hate to cut it period it took so long to get this way, but  the layers need to go. I will have someone take a new photo of me later. I forgot you can't really see how long my hair really is, it is just about the middle of my back around the strap area.

Janet...those pictures sure are beautiful.....wow makes me feel like I am right there in the water with them......looks like you really enjoyed your trip..
thanks for sharing them with us....... ;D
Hello to  you all here on cp this fine day.....take care and God be with you all.
be back later on...Paulette

Pat...I believe that answer is found in the book of Proverbs......a soft answer turns away wrath.

Congratulations, Paulette and I think Janet!  (Forgive me if I've missed someone)


The answer is PROVERBS!!!

Proverbs 15:1  
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

LOOK WHO'S ONLINE



Lee, I've missed you!

Have a Blessed Day!



Love Ruthie

How many books of the Bible did Timothy write?

• Zero
  
         
• One
  
         
• Two
  
         
• Three[/b][/size][/color]
  
  
  

How nice to see Lee on line.  This is one of my favourite hymns.  I hope you'll all enjoy it too.

Zero...   Some think Paul wrote Timothy and Titus,  some scholars  think others wrote these letters later on.

Force ten gales out here tonight.  Batten down the hatches in England folks.

Nite nite all.

Thank you Pat as you know it is also one of my favorite hymns.

Watching Ice skating today just stopped in to say hello and tell you Pat that the Canadian junior champion is a wonderful skater.

TTYL

PAT:  "It is well with my Soul" is one of my favorite hymns.  Especially because I love singing the bass part.

Now as Paul Harvey would say...Here is the rest of the story.

The writer of this GREAT hymn used a personal tragedy when he penned these enduring and encouraging words.

His wife and children had booked passage to sail from England to the USA to join him.  At some time during the night, a storm struck.  The ship sank and all on board perished.

Later, the writer was returning to England on another ship.  When the ship reached the point of the sinking, the ships captain, as an honor to the lost , stopped the ship at the exact point and told the writer that this was where his wife and children perished in the storm.

At this point the man went back to his cabin and penned the words to this song out of deep sorrow, yet comfort.  

He was much like Job, who had lost everything he had, but to the Sustainer and Giver of life he could write "When sorrows like sea billows roll."  

When the storms of life of life strike and all around us is lost.....you can sing "Whatever my lot......It is well, it is well with my soul."

YOUR ASSIGNMENT:  Go back and re-read the words to that hymn (as I am going to do) and see how much more that hymn will mean to you.

Sometimes knowing the rest of the story, makes something so much more meaningful.

OKAY!!! I have now posted the rest of my underwater photos.  Whew!  I'm tired!  I hope you will enjoy looking at them and commenting on them.  I called that thread "God's Underwater World."  And now I better get off here, or my arms will ache all night!

Well, it has been a long day here.  We went to the homecoming brunch at Lipscomb University this morning and saw many old friends.  We always enjoy events like this.

This afternoon we went to a birthday party for our son-in-law's dad, David East.  David lost his wife last year and many of the family were there including his son and daughter as well as several of the grandchildren along with the Murphrees.  

On the way back we stopped at the Mall to walk.  It was after dark when we got home.  Pizza for supper.

Janet, I really enjoyed the amazing pictures.  It is quite an adventure to view such marvels of the sea.   God's creation never ceases to amaze me.

I am really late getting here today as have spent another day of frustration with the computers.  I once again had to call our son, who came over this evening, and got everything going and did some other improvements.  Needless to say I am beat but wanted to at least post today.

It is cold here tonight, about 30 now and will get colder before morning.  However, we have no snow or ice so am not complaining as have a nice warm house.

I read all the posts but will pass on comments this evening as just too tired.  I will try to get caught up here in the morning.  Good night all.

Good evening folks.

It has been a busy day for me and my family.  We had fun though.

Troy did great at the swim meet.
Took off 4 sec. on the breast stroke.  

I am going to get off here. I will talk with you all tomorrow.

Have fun at church.
Soni

Well I didn't get all that much cut off my hair. an inch off thelength thn I had the top layer candled. It is a lot smoother and shinier now.

Getting off now TTYL

What a strange day we had today!  The sun would shine brightly, glaring off the snow, for a while.  Then it would get so dark I needed a light in order to read.   Then it would brighten a little and there'd be a snow squall.  The temperature got up to 38 degrees, but the wind was so strong and gusty it didn't feel warm at all.  A little bit of everything except rain.   ;D

Got all the bills paid this morning and of course there was one more in this afternoon's mail.   :-\  I did make one huge mistake today...  I let Gene go to the grocery story by himself. ::)   Oh well.  Maybe I'll get some new town work on the computer this week.  

Marilyn, what is "candled?"  I've never heard that term before.

Hello everyone nice to be back.

Hmmmmm... not much to say but Howdy.

I'm can't wait to start writing in again  ;D ;D ;D ;D.

How Is everyone doing? I'm doing good.

love you all!!!!!!!!!!!

hello ya'll
I'm here, kinda late. been a nice relaxing day. nothing to do but relax. tomorrow i'll have church and class lab work for the EMT class. it will be fun. ttyl i've got to go
Sarah

Janet, I saw your God's Underwater Pictures and they are amazing.   I hope everyone takes a look.  So many different things under the water that I had never heard of.  Hope you're not aching from posting them all.

Love Ruthie

I thought I got the other computer fixed but now the monitor isnt working. Boy I think I am going to take a long break from these frustrating things.

Well, hasn't this been one wonderful day of photos?  If you haven't gone to see our Janet's fantastic underwater photos, make sure you go and see them.  They are worth every moment you spend there viewing the marvels of our God's creation!


Now it's time to lock the door...

Tomorrow is the Lord's Day.  I pray that all of you will enjoy the Lord's presence in your life as you worship Him.
