Christian Photographers Community

Hi, Jennifer_Jo,

I don't know as much about this software as I should, but the tags here are just a bit different. Larry or some of the other moderators can give you great advice.

I'm thankful for a day at work where I got several things done, saw a project come to fruition today, and did a bunch of file maintenance.

So, while I'm tired, I'm thankful for a good day. It was a day that allowed me to spend long periods of time in silent prayer as I went about some mindless duties. How precious to know He's right there with us, no matter where we are or what we're doing.

Y'all have a good evening.

Jennifer - the reason the HTML tags are showing is that this site doesn't use HTML!  When you are posting, see above the posting window for the tags we have to use.

Thanks for the devotional, Janet.  It is always appreciated.

Pat, I didn't get on the computer yest. and am sorry that Pastor Jack had to leave...but you are still carrying on his work and that must be pleasing to both God and your husband. 

The rain didn't come and the cold continues....more snow is forcast.  We look like an Alberta winter.  Victoria and outlying spots are not prepared for this and it is causing much hardship for many people.  So many were without power & phone for days, so no heat.  That is what it was like where I used to own my condo.  Dreaded power failures.  Fortunately, tho' the power did go out at times, we have both electric and gas heat here and other than being housebound...we are comfortable.  A short distance over, the power was out for days and has only now been restored.  God definately smiled on this place!!

God does not seem to be smiling in many lives from what I determined on another site...SN....Being bored and not used to staying indoors, I ventured forth on the internet.  Usually only use the computer for specific things and not into much posting  and not into chatting.  Remembered there is a religious site on SN so thought to check it out.  Big mistake.  Read thro' the current posts and could not believe what was going on.  Decided to make a short comment in order to take some of the heat of one poor, battered christian who was not doing well.  They came out of the shadows, hissing and spewing venom.  Made two more short posts and left for good.  One thing that I have learned is to be compassionate towards other's point of view.  According to Einstein, everything is relative.  We each have our own version of what is truth...each see things from our own frame of reference.  According to Physics (as I understand it) there is no one correct view of the universe and any observation is valid.  For me, God is real and the Bible is truth.  At least my truth makes for a happy experience and kept me from responding to that kind of abuse.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9

The Lord says: My thoughts are higher than your thoughts. I have something far greater in mind than you realize. And my ways are also much higher than your ways; my means to help you are much greater than you know.

God’s mercy is without bounds. We must not think that people are placed on earth to be eternally damned. He has forgiveness in mind for everyone. In everything, therefore, let us trust in his grace.

There now, I am sort of tired and possibly wrote too much!  Wendy had a bad day and I made the dinner, now must go and take care of Misty.  Bring her in from the garage for a bit each day and hold her on my lap.  She is stuck in the garage until the snow goes as it is too cold and we would lose her in a snowbank!  Poor thing almost got stuck under a bush the first snowfall.

Marilyn, I tried your Angel Biscuits and they are great! 
Annie, I really liked your poem.  I am sort of a dabbler in poetry myself....when the mood strikes.

Pleasant dreams and God Bless.

Liz, I'm so glad you didn't lose you power and stayed warm through the storm!  Too bad about the vipers and their posts; I stopped going there for that very reason, I don't need more stress in my life.

If you have been enjoying my photos of Thailand, and want to see some more, Vol. 7 is now posted.

I just clicked on one of the Google ads and found this.  I left the Keywords on it because I find it interesting how Google connects words we use in our posts to the ads.  But please read the little story that follows the keywords.



Thai Tribe Saved from Killer Tsunami by Elders

Keywords: Aging; Bible; Elders; End Times; Judgment; Judgment Day; Leadership; Preaching; Scriptures; Teenagers; Warning; Wisdom; Youth

The Morgan sea gypsies are a small tribe of 181 fishermen who spend much of the year on their boats fishing in the Andaman Sea from India to Indonesia and back to Thailand. In December, though, they live in shelters on the beaches of Thailand. In December 2004, in the hours before the killer Tsunami crashed ashore, the Morgan sea gypsies were living on those beaches. They were in harm's way and would have likely all perishedâ€"had they not listened to their elders.

For generations, the elders of the tribe had passed along one piece of wisdom. The tribe's 65-year-old village chief Sarmao Kathalay says, “The elders told us that if the water recedes fast it will reappear in the same quantity in which it disappeared.”

And that is exactly what happened. The sea drained quickly from the beach, leaving stranded fish flopping on the shore. How easy it would have been for those who live off of the sea to run down where the water had been minutes ago and fill every basket available with fish. Some people did just that in other areas of South Thailand. Not the Morgan sea gypsies. When the water receded from the beach, the tribal chief ordered every one of the 181 tribal members to run to a temple in the mountains of South Surin Island. When the waters crashed ashore, the 181 sea gypsies were safe on high ground.

Hi Al, I am using the buttons on the posting window and it is leaving the tags.  I assumed it was HTML, guess I was wrong.
Like if I try to bold something... I hit the bold button and it leaves the tag... see bold.

Ok never mind.. now it is working right... that figures. haha

Just came in to catch up but I am heading to bed now.  I am tired and 6:15 comes very early.
Good night everyone and God Bless!!

Hi Jennifer... 

Just make sure that everything you want to be BOLD is highlighted and then click on the Bold button.  Don't click on it before the word and then following the word or you get both the opening and the closing tags in both places.

I took out the extra tags in your first post for you.  You can go and click on Modify if you wish to see how the tags look now.

Great to see you using the buttons.

Hello and goodnight everyone.  

I haven't been around much this past week, and was able to spend a very quiet evening catching up with everyone.

Just a couple of notes:  I use Norton here, but AVG is on my computer at work.  I am really not sure which one I prefer, as I have found that both have had viruses that I've had to work at get rid of.  Luckily, the ones at work, I can just say "I give up" and call the techs in to finish.  At home I have to stick with it until I get it resolved.    

Janet, I have really enjoyed sharing your Journey to Thailand, and am looking forward to all the photos you post.

Pat, 4 years is only a blink of an eye.  


Pat, you posted the music a couple of days ago, and it is now repeating over and over....
"LETS JUST PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD, LETS JUST LIFT OUR HEARTS TOWARD HEAVEN AND PRAISE THE LORD"

And now, goodnight everyone!

Lovely to read all your messages in today's New Every Morning.

I just thought that I'd put in the devotional tomorrow the very last devotional Jack ever wrote for me.  He wrote it for me to use on SeniorNet in our Manna for the Soul discussion but I never found it till the day after the funeral.

I do pray that you'll receive a blessing from it.

Talk to you all tomorrow.
