Etta Sue - Your news is better than silver or gold. Praise the Lord.

Pat - can you send the warm weather to Sonja via the Western Isles. It's already warm where Sonja is compared to here.

Meika - I wish I could explain things better than what I do. Having read Al's post, it was far clearer.

LOL

I am so pleased for you Etta Sue
It is such a beautiful day here. At 5:30 pm it is still 32 degrees C (to work that into Ferignheit multiply by 9 divide by 5 and add 32). LOL

I have had an enjoyable afternoon in the cool house looking at all the beautiful photo's that  have been posted.  If you haven't taken the time to do that, free up some time and scroll through the pictures.

Well I had better get a film in my camera snd start clicking.

Till later,
Judy

Well, I was out putting out resumes today.  I had a line on a job from a friend, so I'm really praying about that.  I feel a lot more calm than I did this morning.  I was really boiling.  But it's all for the best, I'm sure as the Lord has said, "All things work together for the good of those who love God, who are the called according to His purposes".  I forget the reference for that.  Thank you all for your prayers. Jen.

Jen, I've heard it said, "When God closes a window, he often opens a door." I'll really be thinking of you and if there's any way I can help, let me know.

And, Etta Sue - what WONDERFUL NEWS! Makes me want to sing a happy song of praise. How's that snippet of a song go, "A song of praise, Halleleujah!"

Ruth Ann

Hello, everybody,

I haven't been here much in the last couple days (lots of things going on outside of sitting at the computer) - but I just wanted to say a quick "HI" to everyone.

A couple days ago a lady called Cornelia had gone into the hospital.  Is she back home and OK?  I guess I could read through the posts (but I'm being lazy

Take care everyone!

Ursula

Ursula, yes!  Papa John's dear Cornelia is back home, and for that we are praising God.  Also for Etta Sue's good report, and that Jen will soon have a new job!  (I'm speaking in faith, Jen.)

We have had lots of hard winds today, my most UNfavorite kind of weather.  And it was really a scorcher, too.  But tomorrow is another day........

I'm very thankful that Cornelia is back home!  That's wonderful.  Also for the other good news you mentioned (Jen and Etta Sue).

It's been hot here in Ottawa also, I couldn't sleep for a long time last night because of the heat.  I hope it goes better tonight.

Janet, I hope you don't get any tornadoes or other nasty weather.

Etta Sue that is great news, God has blessed you.

Has anyone heard from Joyce Robeson? I wonder how she is doing?

How are you feeling Larry?

Papa John that was sure a cute little thingy you sent me about the bugs. Lots of laughs over that one.

Now much new around here, I am in my last week of work at the library. Counting down the days until the move. Now I wish I had not packed up all my crocheitng, I need something to relax and keep my hands busy. LOL

Earl has a good bit of swelling in his feet and ankles tonight.  I hope this doesn't spell trouble.  He said he has had a little bit for 2 days, but he didn't tell me.  
If he still has this tomorrow I will call his doctor in Amarillo.  

Janice...Is he on diuretics?  Has he had more salt in his diet than usual?  How's his breathing?  (I'm a nurse - sorry for all the questions!)

Welcome, Pinkie.  I was glad to see your photo.  Tell us more about yourself, where are you from?  Again,  Welcome!!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes!
I'm from Longview, TX.  Been a Christian since 1980 - was saved in Norway where I lived for 9 years.  I have one son who was born in Norway.  I still speak the language and believe God will one day move me back there, but right now I feel like I'm in limbo.  Was on the mission field with YWAM last year for 6 months.  First Crossroads DTS for 3 months in Denmark then on outreach to Latvia and Moldova for one month each - and - since I was in the neighborhood - Norway for one month.  I'll try to post some pics from my missions trip.
Shalom.

Etta Sue, we are all excited and pleased that you got a good report.

Iain, I appreciated your thoughts about Jesus on the cross and what it accomplished for us.  References like Zech. 13:1 linked with John 19:34, strengthen our faith in the inspiration of the Bible.

Zech 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. (KJV)

John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.  (KJV)

This morning I mentioned in commenting on Marilyn's writing about Isaiah 53 that the prophets wrote so much about things which came to pass in New Testament days and they didn't realize the significance of what they were writing.

1 Pet 1:12  Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. (KJV)

Mercychild, your reference is Rom. 8:28, "Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (KJV)  We all hope you find exactly the job which you need.

Ursula, thanks for thinking about Cornelia.  We think she is doing very well.  She is still weak from her ordeal in the hospital but she is able to be up and about the house.  We are trying to keep her less active than she usually is.  We appreciate all your prayers.  She is the lady who is pictured with me.

I hope you all get a good night's rest.  Cornelia and I reached the mid point of the Bible tonight in our reading in the 119th Psalm.

Marilyn, I got the cute thingy from Etta Sue.

--- Papa John              <)))><<
 

Judy...where are you located?
I'm in Texas and I just checked...32 = 92 - and as a matter of fact that's exactly what it is here at 8PM.  I don't tolerate the heat well so stay in much of the summer, and that's a bummer cause I love being out in God's great creation!

It is such a beautiful day here. At 5:30 pm it is still 32 degrees C (to work that into Ferignheit multiply by 9 divide by 5 and add 32). LOL

I have had an enjoyable afternoon in the cool house looking at all the beautiful photo's that  have been posted.  If you haven't taken the time to do that, free up some time and scroll through the pictures.

Hi Pinkie!  Welcome from Colorado!  Where are you?

Hi Carol...
I'm from Texas.  Hope it's cooler in CO than it is in TX!  
I wanted to post some pictures (by myself), but am not understanding how to go about it.  I joined webpost and posted 4 pictures on one page, but maybe I should only post one per page, if I wish to use them on this site?  Can somebody out there help me?

I happen to know that Pinkie is a fantastic photographer too.  She's got some lovely ones that we'll try to get her to post here.

Thanks Pinkie.   Some of Norway fiords would be lovely!  (Is that spelled correctly?)


Now, I'm going to get the New Every Morning ready to post early tonight as I have to be up at 4 am to take my neighbour to Hamilton to the Cancer Centre.  Then I'll hurry home from Hamilton to read Iain's post.

Wasn't his post today just marvelous?  I'm still being blessed by it.

[I happen to know that Pinkie is a fantastic photographer too.  

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say THAT!  Especially not with Iain here on this site!

Thanks Pinkie.   Some of Norway fiords would be lovely!  (Is that spelled correctly?)

Actually it's FJORDS
heheh

QuoteActually it's FJORDS
heheh

HAHAHA!  I knew it was wrong.

Hey, Pinkie, if you put the words "quote" and "/quote" between these brackets [ ] , you'll get the quote like I've used and then people will see that you're quoting something from their post.

Try it, you'll like it!

It would look like this but without these brackets...  

{quote}Actually it's FJORDS
heheh{ /quote }

Talk about Iain, we also have Sonja and Karma who are pros too!

Dear friends-Thank you all for your encouragement.  I was out this morning after I came home from my former work, and put out several resumes.  It's too early, of course, for any calls, but I'll be praying.

Papa John-I knew it was in Romans, but I get my references mixed up.  Thank you so much for mentioning that for me.  Thank you also for your prayers.

Pinkie-I'm looking forward to seeing some of your photos.  Do you still have some from Norway?  I know a fellow in Norway who's family is a missionary family there.

Etta Sue-Thanks for your encouragement and prayers too, I can use all the prayers I can get.

For anyone else that I've forgotten, thank you kindly.  I'll be willing to return the favour anytime .  Jen.

Pat, I am determined to get my foot in the door before you close it tonight!!!    

I was on earlier, and reading one of Papa John's posts, and POP!  the lights went out and I realized there was a bit of a rainstorm and hail going on outside!  So, I unplugged everything and left it alone for awhile.  We have had several nice rainfalls lately, but we are still way behind average.  Annual average here is only in the upper teens, would you believe?  

Pinkie, so nice to get acquainted with you.  thanks for your reply.  My husband had relatives in your part of TX.  His parents came from that area to NM soon after it became a state.  He still has some cousins around Gilmer I think.  

Yes he is on diuretics, Lasix.  Last month he was in hospital at Amarillo with congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and kidney problems due to diabetes.  He has been doing pretty well,  and is restricted to one liter of fluid intake a day.  I talked to Dr' office today and he has increased the Lasix to daily, and added potassium.  Hope this takes care of the problem.  His kidneys were at 40% function when he left the hospital.  
Well, if I am going to get in my hello before it becomes tomorrow, I better do it now.  Actually, it is still daylight here, at 7:45 PM.

I will come back and post some more later, folks.  ~Janice

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!  I was so sure I had posted here before, but I guess not.  

Let's see. ... we've come into summer with a vengance.  In the sun this afternoon it was 99 and now at almost 10:00 it's still 70.  What makes it feel really sticky is that there's not the least teensy breeze.  Oh, well. last week we were complaining that it didn't feel like June.  

Wow the weather sure is crazy. Here in the Mojave desert it is 72 F at 7 pm. There has been a nice breeze all day, windy at times. Gusts.

Praise report
Gilberts tests only showed that he has some irritation in his stomach, they took him off Prevacid and gave him something else that I don't know the name of. Praise God no ulcers.

I guess I will say good night early tonight 'cause Miss Pat is closing early. I'll probably post in NEM later .I also noticed that no one is posting in the Precious Promises folder. We only put Bible quotes in there, Janet is the moderator and I seem to be the only one posting. Come on y-all open up those Bibles and add some promises in there.

Marilyn

Hi all, I have been mending Don's clothes all day - it is difficult for me as all I want to do is quilt and the mending pile has been getting larger & larger.  Now that task is over!  Water exercise today just wore me down for some reason and it was not easy to make myself do the laundry and so forth.  

Etta Sue!    So happy for your great news on you medical checkup.

Pinkie:  Howdy!  We lived in Plano for 9 years!  And, some friends from there just stopped in for a visit Friday night - we talked fast.  
Also, we were in Norway last fall for a bit - loved the country - my relatives that I met for the first time are from the Arvika & Koppom area very near the border in Sweden.  That is quite a change from Norway to Texas.  

Ursula!  Hello - how are you?

Jen:  I read your note & you are doing the right thing in talking to everyone and keeping yourself busy. Praying and talking to God helps a lot too.  Carol

Great news, Marilyn!   Thanks for letting us know of Gilbert's tests.


Wow!  Would you look at this!

All these folks are online on our site right now...

Hi, Jeanne.  Well, it sure feels like June now, doesn't it?    hee hee.  
It was awful hot here too before the rain.

Hope you have enjoyed a good day.

Marilyn:  You are going to have very different weather when you move - I hope that you have a few flannel shirts and so forth.  I love a soft flannel shirt for chilly days.  I wear denium shirts over a tee & here it is both cold and hot and cold again during the daytime.  So happy for your Gilbert and his medical healing.

Someone asked about our weather and it is so different this year with clouds and afternoon storms all around and the grass and hills are green.  No smoke in the mountains as we had to endure last year. Carol

Jen...I was also out today from 9am to 3pm putting in resumes and applications after the Sunday paper ads.  

QuotePinkie-I'm looking forward to seeing some of your photos.  Do you still have some from Norway?

Oh, I've got lots of pics from Norway!  I'm still trying to figure out how I can get them posted without going through all kinds of problems.  That webpost only allows 10 posts before you have to pay for it.  And you have to first send the pictures via email to be fetched by the webposts site,  - anyway, there has to be an easier way!  I tried posting some on WEBSHOTS, but I don't think I can link to them either.  I'm going to try to post a link to the 6 pictures I posted there just to see if you can access it.  Don't know if it will work...

QuoteI know a fellow in Norway who's family is a missionary family there.

I'd like to pick your brains about this missionary to Norway...

shalom...It will be ok...God will provide you with another job.  

Have you all checked out Janet's "Cowboy Painting" http://christianphotographers.com/yabbse/index.php?board=19;action=display;threadid=692

Pinkie, click on the "Modify" button by your post and you'll see how I fixed your post so that the quote worked.

It's just the brackets that were the problem.

   Looks like there is a lot of rejoicing in our ranks today.  I am soooo pleased for each of you that have had a good medical report.

I have just watched a beautiful sunset.  There are no clouds just a red sky that turned into a beautiful deep magenta, a beautiful end to a beautiful day.

Have a good night folks, I am turning in, it is 10:17 here in North Bay and I will be up early tomorrow.

G'night all
Judy

I'm so glad that you are in here early, Janice!  Of course, after what I went through for 10 years before Jack's kidney's failed altogether, I'm saddened to read your post.  Have you tried the ice chips to satisfy his thirst?  Jack used his ice crusher all the time as he was so limited with his fluid intake.

I just posted this in our Tips area...

Make sure that you check this often as someone on our site might be trying to contact you with a private comment or question.  The word "message" in this message is clickable and will take you to your INBOX.

When replying to the message, click on the "Quote" button and the complete message that you received from the other member will be quoted in your reply.

This sure helps if you get lots of messages of if you sent a person a message a few days before with a question in it.  It doesn't make much sense to receive a reply with simply the word "Yes" in it or "I don't know."  

Pinkie I have several photos on the webposts sight and have not had to pay anything. What is do there is upload the photo and instead of posting it to the site I just highlight and copy the url to the photo the post the url here . Webshots won't let me in to your album until I sign in so the link didn't work for me. I will have to go to the webshots site first and sign in then try clicking on your link. You can also get a free web site at http://www.freewebs.com and you can post 25 photos there in the webalbum and not pay. You can also post photos to 7 pages. I have many many photos on my site there.

Pinkie -- I see you are a member of CMA.  One of my favorite memories from college involves the CMA.  We were on Spring Break in Dayton, FL during the 50th Annual Harley Ralley there.  Literally thousands of bikes everywhere we went.  Rows and rows of them. (I wanted to push one, just to see if it would really domino, but not all bikers are members of CMA  , and i am not a total idiot).  There was a "bar" there called "The Hole."  It was owned and operated by Christians, and they served no alcohol, only soft drinks, and milk (I kid you not).  (During bike week,  they decorate it with a bike theme, and during Spring Break peak, it is decorated in a college theme).

We went there one night, just to hang out and the place was full of bikers.  Big, burly men, that looked, well, mean.  At several of the tables, bikers sat leading others to Christ, etc.  It was awesome.  I have a picture somewhere of me arm wrestling one really bad-looking dude.  Those guys and gals were AWESOME!!

I have a favor to ask of you, if you have time.  Can someone please go to my profile, and click on the "Karma's Prints" link?  Then, when that page loads, please note if it is my page or the homepage for DPC Prints.  Also, scroll down at the very very bottom and see if it says "Referred by karmat."  I want to make sure that it is working, and I am having difficulty with it.  PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A PLOY TO GET YOU TO BUY PICTURES, I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS WORKING PROPERLY"  Thanks.
