Pat I love all the jumping dots having a party! How in the world do you do that?

They are "smilies" Judy.  I have them on my computer.

As I sat today at the funeral of our friend I thought how sad it is when people who are not Christians die and they live and die without the promise of God and the hope of heaven.

Rev 14:13  Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them." (NIV)

- - - Papa John

Oh Papa John I know how hard it is to say good bye to a friend.  

I just know there is a way they will also get to go to a most wonderful place. If the good deed will follow them, then they are much more than filthy rags. I just know I will see my friends again. I hope it, I pray it and it is my every wish.
Perhaps they will not get to live with God in Heaven, but they might still get to go to a heaven, yes?
There are many things I promise, and I make it certain that they happen when I promise. But many times I do things because it is my wish and not because I promise it.
I know God will welcome all those who know and accept Jesus, It is his promise.
Do you think God can allow others into heaven just because it is his wish, without a promise? Or is it written that it will never be?

Mieka what a nice new picture of you.

  I thank you Ms Marilyn, it is so Papa John will not think I am a pig tail girl.   I do not think I want to be one.  

MIEKA!    

  HI Ms Jane !!  

Mieka ... I love that picture of you, too.  Two beautiful flowers.    

  AAaaawwwa How sweet. A rose and a onion.  

WRONG!!!

  as long as I do not look as a pigs tail. I think a pigs tail is gross, yes?  

Meika that is a beaytiful picture!

And boy can you make me laugh

You are pretty as a rose!

  I thank you Ms JudyB, but today i do smell like a onion. I do.

I have been a cooking and cooking all day. I am almost done for this day. I am SO excite for this party. It is a fun one here, it is to welcome home everyone from the travels, and to start the summer.

Mieka,

I didn't mean you look like a pig's tail.  But the little girl you had on and which is now at the bottom of your posts have hair fixed in what we call pig tails.      You knew that!

I do like your new picture.  Not a rose and onion, a rose and another beautiful flower.

  I love you Papa John, I do. and I thank you SO much for your help. I hope you know how much you help me.

(i did look up the pigs-tail, it is tobacco   ??
Oh, and a braid of hair too)  

Mieka, Your posts today lets me realize how much I have missed you since you left for your trip at sea!  Welcome back!  And I don't know of anyone that is loved by a group more than you are loved by this group.  Anyone on here can be down in the dumps and you will bring them right up with a chuckle or a smile.  Thank you, God, for sending Mieka to us here on Christian Photographers.

Now, I'll be a Monkey's uncle???  I don't know where that saying came from but I have said it all my life.  I think it means 'Well, I'll be!  Why didn't I think of that?'  Or 'Well, I am amazed!'  or even 'Geesh!  Anymore ideas, anyone?

Also I was the baby in the family.  My big brother used to wrestle with me.  He would get me in a 'hold' and I would yell for him to let me go.  He would say....'Say Uncle!'  He wouldn't let me go until I said 'Uncle!'....unless Mom stepped in...  Now, I don't know where that 'Uncle' thing came from at all!!!  May have been Kaye Don's invention, for all I know.  And I still don't like to be held down!!!

Ivalou fixed lunch for me today so I was over there for awhile....70 steps...I counted them again.  Either had shorter steps today or I miscounted the last time...  Then I came home and crocheted.  Making a new plastic purse!  

Ali entertained herself with a fly.  I think she worried it to death.    I don't know where it is now.  But it couldn't fly when I saw it last.  

Mieka......I like onions, too!!!!

Don is in the basement making a surprise for me in his wood shop  

Meika:  It is always so much fun to read your posts!  You keep us hopping!

Larry:  Pat is my kind of gal - off to the quilt store!  I think that it is really sweet of her to make a quilt for your afternoon siestas.  

Mary Frances:  Hi - it is good to see you!  

Etta Sue:  Now, isn't it nice to have your last doctor appointment over for a  while?  It is super news especially before your trip to Calgary.  

Carol

Oh, Mieka, Mieka! You are so special to us.  I don't think we're going to let you go away again.  I've been sitting here giggling away and I'm all alone in the house!  The dog wonders what in the world I'm laughing at!

Pinkie - I reall AM glad you're here.  Better late than never.

Thanks Al
...just curious...what nationality is the name "Moak?"  Sounds like it could be Norwegian...

Pinkie, I'm so glad to meet you. I've looked and looked for you, but must have been looking in all the wrong places.

And, a fond hello to everyone else, as well!

Hi Everybody:  We are just back from our 4 days away, attending one granddaughter's 8th grade graduation.

It was lovely seeing her accept several awards., she tells me she is going to a Bible (overnight) camp for a week, with her girlfriend.  Please pray that Kirby will come to know the Lord.

This family foes NOT attend church at all, so you all can understand how delighted Norm and I are to know she will hear the Gospel.

I am not going to attempt to answer each one personally.  Just know how pleased I am to be back to CP; and to know how much I miss you all when I'm away!

Yes...    we're tickled pink, Judy, to have you home again at CP!!

Glad you had a good time away.

Now you'll have a lot of catching up to do here.  

... LOL - yes... LOTS of catching up., for sure!


... 'tis good to be back "HOME"....

Bonz is my hyperactive child.  I can almost never catch him still and therefore most shots of him are blurry.  He is also a HUNTER - no fly lives in my apartment!  He isn't supposed to be up on the table, but when he's hunting, he forgets where he is - so intent is he in getting that FLY!!!  Pinkie

Why do cats love to play with rugs?  I don't know, but these two have the best time playing with my throw rugs!

Pinkie: Yahoo doesn't allow you to link to another site. That's why I had to move to a different site to post my photos.

Mieka, I'm not really a monkey's uncle.  And I don't really want to be one, either.  I just meant I felt foolish.

Etta Sue, I think the expression to "cry uncle" meaning "I give up" is an old one and pretty widespread.  I wonder if it could be a corruption of something in another language, like so many of our expressions are.  

When I was a kid (back when the earth was cooling! ) we used to make each other yell "calf rope" that same way.  Yes, "Uncle" has been around for many a year!

Mieks, you make us all remember how funny the English language can be!  It is really a mixture of nearly every language on the earth!  Bits and pieces got mixed in as it evolved through the years.

Say!  Was that largest smilie on the right ME???

Here's a link that discusses "cry uncle:"
