The drive to Bloomington, Indiana University, was great.  No problems at all.  The two hour drive seemed like a lot less time.  And of course, it always seems like a shorter drive back than going!!

This has ben a long day.  John just called, I was waiting up for the call.  Now to put the dog out, feed the furnace and off to bed.

Papa John I know the time with Cornelia is rollercoastering.  It is a difficult time for you  both.  Just remember we here are all praying for you both.

Marilyn I didn't respond to your situation when you posted, didn't read it till tonight.  I will be praying for a healling for you too.  I am there with you. 

Janet you need to make sure you get enough rest.  you are pushing too hard I think.  Just remember I am continuing in prayer.

Etta Sue Good devotional.  Reminds me of Romans 12:1-2

Sue The emails are a great reminder.  I still am not totally organized. but I have redused a lot of clutter.  John is glad for that.

Have a good rest everyone and God Bless.

The Holy Spirit: Some Other Time
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I
do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because
I go to My Father. 
--John 14:12
"You will receive power" (Acts 1:8a). "Eagerly desire the greater
gifts" (1 Corinthians 12:31a). Anything that God has ever done for a
soul He will do for anyone else, if the conditions are met. The Lord
who blessed these men that I spoke about, and the thousands who
followed them but whose names are not known, is willing to do the
same for us as He did for them.

Unbelief says: Some other time, but not now; some other place, but
not here; some other people, but not us. Faith says: Anything He did
anywhere else He will do here; anything He did any other time He is
willing to do now; anything He ever did for other people He is
willing to do for us! With our feet on the ground, and our head cool,
but with our heart ablaze with the love of God, we walk out in this
fullness of the Spirit, if we will yield and obey. God wants to work
through you!
The Counselor has come, and He doesn't care about the limits of
locality, geography, time or nationality. The Body of Christ is
bigger than all of these. The question is: Will you open your heart? 
The Counselor, 121.

"This thought is very convicting, Lord. I know I've been guilty of
praising You for Your power and goodness, while secretly doubting
that You were really going to work in my present situation. Forgive
me that duplicity, Lord, and give me faith to believe You for Now,
for Here, for Me. Amen."

Hello all!  Snow at our house this morning.  About 2 inches so far and some still drizzling down.

Hope all is going well.

Nita, who is your sister that has a PaD?  I saw where you said you saw our links on hers.

Have a good day!!

  Ask God to help you strive to be like good soil in every area of your life at all times.
     This is a great devotional today Etta Sue. It challenges us to be good soil

It a beautiful Sunny day here today. MY husband and I have already been out for a walk, because we have a prayer meeting this afternoon and I don't want to miss this important meeting.
I pray the Lord will bless you all today and give you the desires of your heart.
If we do no get weary in well doing we will reap what we sow if we faint not.

  I had a great night's rest last night...probably because I was tired when I finally got to bed....also I was cold.  I can't sleep when I am too warm.  Anyway, I feel very rested today! 

I am praying everyone has a God-filled Day!

Karma, I sent you a pm.  You didn't get it?  Anyway she is fayepek on DPC and her PAD blog is called faye's fotos.  She sure has some great wildlife ones.  She has some real characters.  I like Maggie. haha

I slept well last night too.  I'm sitting here enjoying a cup of Hazelnut coffee and listening to the dogs play in the living room.  My daughter, Kim, will be here soon, for coffee and dog play, so they'll get excited when they hear her car.

Blessings, and as Etta Sue said, have a God-filled day.     Nita

Wow!  I can't believe no one has posted since my morning post.  I guess everyone is busy.

We, my daughter and I, just took the dogs for a walk.  It surely feels nice in the sunshine.  I did notice that lots of lawns were all nice and mowed.  Mine isn't.   Guess I'd better think harder about it.   

Well, keep having a blessed day. lol     

During the day I rarely can get the puter to hook up to the server.  Today so far is different.

Hi Nita, and Karmat, also Etta Sue.

Pat where are you today?  Looking for some hymns to send to a friend.

Well bye for now and God bless.

Nita, mow the lawn?  Can I come do it for you?  I would really like a dose of summer right now.

Judy B, yes the reminders are nice.  If they keep me motivated to do my thing than I will consider it a positive influence!

Papa John, it is so nice to hear that your church family is taking care of you as well as your blood family.  I pray that Cornielia continues to improve one slow day at a time.

Al, I'm not sure what I would do without my blood family.  They can be frustrating at times, and I know there have probably been many days that mother would liked to have strangled me but I know she loves even so.

Please pray for this tiny little one

I had to work today and struggled with getting the job done as my nose had that raw feeling of a cold starting.  I left work and on a whim stopped by my daughters to see if she had left for work yet.  I was in luck and she was still home.  We went shopping and I priced out the DVD's at Walmart for the Toronto Gaither taping.  It will cost almost $100 plus taxes to get the DVD's and CD's for the shows.  Ouch!  Perhaps another day.  We then progressed to Zeller's (another department store) and I purchased two skirts that were 40% off each.  I wouldn't even have seen them if my daughter hadn't been with me.  I then dropped my daughter at work and I am now home and plan to take a Neo Citron and go to bed early.

Hi everyone. 

I have been very busy the last couple of days and didn't even get into CP yesterday to post.  Nothing in particular but a bunch of little things. 

My son was over for several hours today and we were trying to decide what to do with my desktop computer.  We found a new replacement motherboard that matches what I have so I bought it outright from a seller on eBay for $25.  He will replace my motherboard when it comes as he has built several computers, incluidng one for me several years ago.  I hope that will solve the problem of it suddenly and unexpectedly rebooting. 

Our washing machine died on us a couple of days ago.  As it was 25 years old we decided to replace it and the new Maytag was delivered today. 

Pat has been busy as well helping with getting the decorations for our Senior Sunday ready.  This is an annual banquet our senior ministry has on the Sunday closest to Valentimes Day.  We have a lovely sitdown dinner and then entertainment.  They prepared for 16 tables.  She has been on the run all week and announced a little while ago that she was staying home tomorrow.

Papa John, glad to read that Cornelia is doing better and was able to come to the table.  That probably tired her but I expect it also was encouraging to her.  I thought it was a very good sign that she has once again started her lists for you.  We certainly don't want you to slack off on your duties.

I was so far behind that I am not going to make individual comments this evening.  I have enjoyed reading all the postsings and the devotionals.  Tomorrow I will be gone most of the day as it is our volunteer meeting for our computer learning center and then our Computer User Group in the afternoon.  My very good friend, Rod, is doing the presentation so it should be a good one.  I will take my laptop and webcam and we will do a demonstration as this is the subject of part of his program.

Hope everyone has a good night.

Good evening, everyone.  I had a great day again today, painting.  After the frustration of yesterday, it was really nice!  I do believe I will be able to finish three paintings in the 5 days, as I only have finishing touches to add tomorrow. 

Thank you, Papa John and JudyB for your concern.  I felt better today, but now my arm/shoulder is really hurting again, so this will be a short post.

Good to see you, Larry!  I was wondering about you, and am glad you were just busy, and not ill.

Beth will be kept in the hospital for another week.  Her Dr. says those wounds need careful attention.  Darrel has been working so hard, trying to get her ramp lengthened so it isn't so steep, and forming up for pouring some concrete.

I'm going to shut this down, watch an hour of TV and hit the sack!

Love you guys!

Well I finally got on the internet with  the help from the cable company.  I must have had 125 emails to read. It was only a minor thing to get back on the internet. A small problem with my  firewall.

Jany took me to lunch at the airport , it has a real nice restaurant called the Silver Lining. Expensive too. We had Deep fried Cod and a green salad. $11.00 each. Ouch. Then I went to Fays and we went to the hardware store to get some pain and some chain. Tomorrow I will put the first coat of paint on her door where they put the board on the window. Also take her grocery shopping. She likes to get out when he weather permits and it's been so nice here for the last few days.

I washed my car so It will probably rain tomorrow

Cornelia has not been feeling as well today. When the physical therapist came her blood pressure was very low. She called and talked with the cardiologist's nurse. Later we took her blood pressure and it was up normal again. Later the nurse called back and said if it fell very low again we would need to bring her in to see the doctor.

Our daughter, Beth, came from Knoxville today. We just hope things will begin to improve soon. Cornelia is depressed because she keeps saying that she will never get any better. I believe it is just going to take some time and we need to be patient.

Sometimes we go two steps forward and one step back.  Yes, we get so much support from our church family.  When we were in the hospitals most of our elders came at one time or another for prayer.  She is of course on the prayer list which goes out everyday in email from the church.  A Baptist church down on the corner from us has her on their prayer list and she has received a great pile of get well cards.

Good to see everyone today.

Papa John

Papa John, what you are describing is so like Jack was so often.  Depression is just so read and I've been told that it's so common for folks after a heart attack and after heart surgery.  I know that Jack had it but he came out of it.  How I'll be praying for you and Cornelia my dear brother.  You both are so special to me.

Early tonight for closing but I have a terrible headache so am going to try to have an early night.
