Christian Photographers Community

Hello Marilyn,

        I've been browsing through the CP pages.  It's really nice to be able to read messages from people who are genuinely filled with the love of Christ.  Have a good day. Melvin

Hey Melvin!

I'm so glad that you finally got online.  I've seen some error messages from you but now you're on here and that's great!

How are you doing?  I've been praying for you and a job!

Hi everyone.  Have really had a busy day and just now having time to write a little bit.  I got up early and went walking at the "Y" as the housekeepers were coming this morning and Pat needed to go to the "Y" for water aerobics before they would be done.  Came back and stopped for coffee at the cafe.  Worked all morning on the church webpage and when Pat got home from the "Y" we decided to go have some Mexican food at a new place.  They had a nice buffet at a reasonable price so we enjoyed that.  Then stopped at the library to return items and Pat got some more.  We then stopped at two grocery stores for a few items and at the bank.  Now we are home for the evening.  (Wasn't that boring but that was my day.  Suppose to rain tomorrow so we wanted to get these errands done.)

Pat, that is a beautiful midi of "Blessed Assurance".  Do you know who the pianist is?   Also very meaningful devotional comments and pieces today.  JudyB, I liked the PUSH story as that is certainly true.

Mullet, tell us a bit about your paper route if you care to do so.  Also do you have any particular hobbies.  Tell us about your Sunday School class or youth activities at your church.  Tell us about your swimming.  Was your paper route easier today in your new vehicle?

Etta Sue, noticed your comment about having sermons from your ministers posted on your church webpage.  Just this last weekend I set up a new section on our church webpage to start putting the sermons from our pastors on the website.  Two of our three ministers write their sermons in MS Word and I can take those files and immediately convert them into html files and just upload them so it is very easy to do.  If you are interested in seeing the way I have done this just go to http://www.wpcsnellville.org/ and then click on the link to Sermons on the left side of the homepage.  I feel this added a needed devotional component to our webpage.  So far have only 5 sermons linked.  Unfortunately, our third minister doesn't write out her sermons but uses an outline.

Etta Sue, regarding the IE Browser, I have been using a browser called Avant, which is built on the IE platform but allows tabbed browsing, which I really like.  You can also set up groups of sites and open them all at once.  It uses the IE bookmarks and looks very much like IE.  It is my browser of preference now.  It is free and here is the link:  http://www.avantbrowser.com/ if you are interested.  I think as Pat says you should be able to open as many IE windows as you want.

Marilyn, I hope your son didn't have a dead battery in his car from leaving the door open all night.  

Judy, hope Norm is feeling better today.  Pat, is the toothache gone today?  Ruth Ann, hope the dizziness has subsided.  Hard to do anything while you are dizzy.  Fortunately I have only experienced that feeling a few times in my life.

Need to stop writing and do my Bible and devotional reading for today as didn't get it done before I left the house this morning.  Hope everyone has a good afternoon, evening or morning for Jenny, Ria, Chris, Iain and anyone else in Europe.

Hi Pat,

   Thanks for writing back. I've never had such a difficult time, finding work.  I believe in the power of God and that difficult times don't last.  I just have to trust in His timing.  I'm on my way to eat with a friend, so will talk to you later. Melvin

Hello Melvin: good to see you posting here. We all missed you so Welcome back.

Melvin!  Great to see you back posting.  

We actually got up to 35 degrees this afternoon - for a few minutes.    Then it clouded up and started snowing again, which wasn't in the forecast.  Guess the weatherman forgot to tell the weather.  

Zachery, you're really doing great - swimming, paper deliveries, computer posting, cooking...  keep up the good work.  You're part of our "family" now, you know, and we're all proud of you.

See?  I knew if I started naming names I'd get into trouble.  Suffice it to say that today's devotion and the other uplifting postings were "right on".  

Hi Jeanne - I see you and I are online together!! - I love the way you express your love in here for Gene...and the thankfulness you always have for your nice warm cozy home.
I am thankful for Norm and our warm cozy home too.  Tonight as I write, itd dark, cold and damp outside....I am thankful for being inside!

Mel. - thank you for the reminder for us to pray for a job for you.  I know of another fellow who has been looking for a job now for two years.  This particular person has a wife and three small pre-school age children.  He is getting pretty desperate.  Please pray for Bruce!

Zachary:  One of my grandchildren swims in competition.  She swims every day., sometimes she gets to the pool as early as 5:am.  Do you swim in competitions?  Kelsea is very competitive...BUT she is also very hard on herself.  She is always trying to beat her record.

Thank you Larry for asking about Norm.  He is feeling better today.  We are seriously looking at his diet.  He is driking lactose free milk, organic breads and special margarine.  Anything made with milk, he is avoiding.  I am praying that its  a milk allergy that he has.  We can deal with that.

Does anyone know how I can find out what symptoms an allergy to milk can cause?  I would sure like to find out what all foods to avoid.  It will be a new way of cooking, if thats the cause.

I'm off to the photography forums now.

Pat - how is your facial pain....gone I hope!

Love.... Judy

Judy, if I were told not to express my love for Gene or my love for my Savior I'd be in big trouble!  

Judy...Just popped in before I go to my bed.

Milk allergy can cause I.B.S.(Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Long Life Skimmed Milk, U.HT.  does help this wonderfully. It is very highly treated, boiled even more times than sterilised milk.,This kills the parasites that cause havoc with the intestines also it is higher in calcium this way. I listened to a bowel specialist on the radio last year and he was expounding the qualities of U.H.T Milk. He did explain how it works but I cant recall.

I use it all the time having been hospitalised and drip fed due to severe I.B.S. In fact I have a mug of skimmed milk here beside me as my bedtime drink.

Thats all for now dear Judy, I must to my bed.

See you all again.
Love Jenny.

Ria, yes Ruth and I are mother and daughter.

Pat, I think that Dad enjoyed coming for dinner.  I know I enjoyed their company.....I always do!

Pat, thank you. I have always had more than one window open, but always minimized the current screen to then open another window from my desktop.  This is a wonderful shortcut.

Pat, what wonderful music.  Blessed Assurance.  The first time through, I sang the words.  Then just enjoyed the skill of the pianist.

Work was much better today.  Things are starting to calm down emotionally after last week's upheaval.  Time to get off line and do a bit of cleaning and then some rest and relaxation before starting a fresh day tomorrow.

Hey, Guys and Gals!

I have had a great day at painting class, and Sonja, it's lookin' good!

Zachery, what is your favorite thing to study in your schoolwork?  What is your favorite swimming stroke?  Did you look at my underwater photos?  You might like them.  It sure is good having you back in here posting again!  Love you!

Pat, no toothache today?  I hope the pain is gone.

I enjoyed everyone's posts, but am tired tonight and need to do a couple things yet before bedtime, so please excuse me for not mentioning everybody.  I still love all of you!

Thanks Jenny for that information.  The "strane" thing is, though., Norm hasn't any problem with his bowel...its all nausea and pain in the abdomen. I'm hoping this lactose free diet will help.

When he is doubled over in pain., my heart goes out to him.

Janet - did I tell you that I love this new picture of you?

Jeanne - nobody would EVER tell you not to express your love for Gene or your Savior....Never, never, never., especially in here!!

well., I have been sitting here at my computer for a couple of hours.  Its time to put the dishes away., and get into bed where its cozy and warm.

I hope everyone has a good sleep tonight!

I am hoping that everyone on CP will go and see the movie "The Passion" that was directed by Mel Gibson.  Apparently Famous Players are thinking of limiting the screens.  If all the Christians support this movie it would be good.    Billy Graham has seen it and said that it brought tears to his eyes.   Also James Dobson is supporting it.

Thank you.   God Bless

Love Ruthie

Pat, I enjoyed the devotional and reading all the posts tonight.  I have just come back from an EE planning meeting for an EE clinic.   This is where we train Pastors to present the gospel.  

Now I have to let my new boarder get on the computer.  He is researching for his new job. Ryan is a nice Christian fellow who lives in the basement and has no computer as yet so I agreed he could use mine until he gets one.

God Bless


Ruthie

Thanks for the compliment on my photo, Judy.  Pat thought this was a better one of me.  Pat.....

Hi y-all and a special hi y-all to Zachery, How's it going little bro? I like your posts and I know i haven't ever said anything. So I apologize now. and ask your forgiveness. So you like cooking. HMM got a good recipe for cheesecake. There is one in recipes here for White Chocolate Cheesecake that you might like to try. and it is easy to make.

talk to all y-all later.

Hey Al did ya make it back or are you still in Davis? I see you online here.

Well, we have had another nice day.  This morning I had an appointment with my Cardiologist.  He listened to my heart, looked at recent lab tests, etc. and said I was doing fine and to come back in six months.

This afternoon we walked in the Mall.  The doctor wants me to walk every day and so far I have been doing pretty good.

Larry, thanks for the information about the Avant Browser.  I have downloaded it and I think I am going to enjoy using it.  Anything which is new takes a little while to get used to.

I hope you are all doing well tonight.  Good to see each one of you.

Kind of a lively one...  LOL

JUDY:  Thank you for the neat story.  Sometimes we cannot or do not see the results of what God wants us to do.  We look to others for confirmation that we are doing the right thing.

Sometimes we need only to look at ourselves to see the results.  When I think back to how I used to be, I am humbly blessed to see the changes that he made in me.

Satan does tell us that we are still the same person, but looking at the results, we know that we are not.  PTL

PAT: Thank you for putting the music on...now as I navigate the entries...I listen to some of my favorite hymns.  of course I could use my Windows Media Player....

Hey, Ed!

Great to see you here!  How's the weather across the border in Michigan?

It's been cold and damp here today.




I'm off to London tomorrow early.  I'll have to pull out of here a bit before 7 am so I'm going to open our new topic a little early tonight folks.

Pat:  Thanks for all of your hard work.
Pat: How are your teeth today?

Ria:  Yes Sue and I are mother and daughter.

Zachery: It is wonderful that you enjoy swimming so much keep up the good work.

Today started out as any normal day the roads and weather were good a hint of sun as well.  But as I drove along picking up the students for school a message came over the 2-way radio sugesting that a watermain outside the school had broke.  When I arrived water was all over the road, we had to keep the children on the buses until it was decided what to do.  Phone calls were made and the children were picked up by their parents and taken home as for tomorrow we will have to wait and see. Today my morning trip trip ended at noon.

Ruth

We have been experiencing a sort of thaw around here.  Yesterday it got up to 41, don't know about today.  Snow still melting.

Probably as soon as the snow is gone, we'll get another batch.....Oh well, you have to get the last snowstorm then comes the warm stuff.

We went to Eaton Rapids (s of Lansing) on Sunday, for our newest grandchilds dedication service yesterday.  A nice sunny day for a drive.

Ed, did you get photos of that new baby's dedication?  We'd love to see them.

Ruth, what school?  The senior school?

Pat:  The School was Our Lady of Fatima (grades sk to ----- Islington  & Rutherford  


Pat: You asked if Mel enjoyed his Dinner at Sue's  yes he did and if the day arrives that he does not want to eat something will be very wrong.


Ruth

Hi all!  sorry I didn't get in here from work today.  My students were excessively talkative today.  And it was me they were wanting to talk to.  No subject in particular, they just kept shooting the breeze.  every itme I would start to post, one of them would start to tell me a story.  go figure.


Z= I think you asked why the lower forums didn't get read/commented on alot.  I can only speak for myself, but a lot of times, I come in read NEM, comment, and then have to chase a 2yo.  Also, alot of times, I read the posts, but don't comment unless I have something burning to say.

I am sleepy, and Nards has some programming ot do, I think, so I will callit a night!

nite nite all
