Zachery, I was bitten by a dog when I was about your age.  I was riding my bike.  To this day, I still have a fear of running/jumping dogs.

Mieka, How nice to see you again.  I just wish that you were able to pop in more often to see us.

Papa John, I am pleased to see you made your destination safely.  I hope and pray also that your vacation is an enjoyable one!

Hi Kathy!

I am trying out my new Pizza Stone today from Pampered Chef.  They are all ready to go in the oven and my parents are the invited guinea pigs.   Anyone else care to join us?

And now, time to sit and relax and do some cross stitching before they arrive.

Etta Sue:  Thanks for the clickable to Southeast Church..  I read most all of the sections, includin the resume that is printed up.  They are looking fr a new Senior Pastor.  Sounds like a lot of work for him., some Pastors are expected to do so much...and for so little reimbursement sometimes.

I know for a fact., as our son was a Pastor for several years.  His pay was extremely low., compared to the other pastors.  It cost him the same to buy groceries as it did the other pastors.  e left the ministry to seek other employment.

Now in case you all think he has left the Lord...NOT SO!! In fact, he leads a Sunday School class of 75., which in some places., thats almost a small church in itself!

Etta Sue.  The church I read about is in Salt Lake City.... the one you and Ivalou are going to, must be a sister church to it., am I right?

BTW, Etta Sue.... Happy 6th re- Birth!.

Larry:  I am so sorry to read of your granddaughter's terrible migraien headache, and the tumor.  That is indeed very frightening.

Please know.... I will be praying for her, and for you and Pat., as you both must be so anxious for her.

How is her husband holding up under all this stress.  He has a terrible burden to bear now, with two little ones to care for as well.

Bless him... I will remember him as well!

Marty:  I am glad that you are enjoying it here.

Kathy:  Another welcome to you as well!

Ruth Ann, your story about "Tugger" reminded me of something similar.  Some years ago Cornelia and I were doing some work in the Ivory Coast, West Africa.  Our missionary friend had done a favor for a neighbor who gave us a chicken.  We named him "Roho." He tied the chicken to the fence for a day or two and we fed and watered him.  One day I asked a young man who worked for us to prepare Roho for cooking.  We came home from work that day and Roho was baked in the oven.  As we started dinner I said, "Pass Roho please."  In spite of our affection for Roho we did enjoy the meal.

Sue, we DID have such a nice drive down here yesterday but it was a long drive of 12 hours.  This afternoon after church we have had a good rest.  I had pizza for our supper.  It was a frozen pizza cooked in our oven here and it was very good.

Larry, we are all concerned about your granddaughter.  She is in my prayers.  We have four granddaughters and I know how precious they are.  I thought about yesterday when we drove through Atlanta.  We drove on I-75 right through the center of the city and the traffic wasn't too bad.

Judy Mc, I'm sorry your son had that problem in his ministry but I understand.  For more than 40 years I worked as a preacher and also a missionary.  We raised three beautiful daughters and sent each one through college.  Sometimes the cupboard was pretty bare but we managed pretty well through the years for which I am grateful.  Cornelia always said "The Lord takes care of those who don't have sense enough to take care of themselves."    I think she was talking about me.

And now, good night from the warm western coast of central Florida.

Hi Everyone...

I've not been on here since last night!  I had company here all day and they just left for home just a short time ago and it was such a nice day but I've missed you all.

I'm sorry about your granddaughter, Larry.  I definitely will be praying for her.

I'm so happy to see that we are welcoming a new member!

WELCOME KATHY!

Now, I'm just going to try to do a couple of my PSP lessons and then I'll be back to lock the door in here.

Like most of you, I had a wonderful Sunday.  Was able to attned both services and also, the extra choir practice we have at 5PM Sundays.  We are getting ready for an Easter cantata..but it will be held on Palm Sunday evening service.  
Jenny, I wish I could send you some of this beautiful warm, sunny weather we are having here in SC.  I feel soooo sorry that you have all that cold, wind and rain.  Take care that you don't get sick going out as often as you do.

WELCOME KATHY.  What a nice name.

I hope that Etta Sue & IvaLou both have a wonderful time!  Maybe we will hear from them while they are there.

Ruth Ann  get yourself some rest for the upcoming week.  All sounds well with you and yours.

Pat, Thanks for the work you do here.

Well, It's off to bed..after 10 here and 5 comes early!

Nitey Nite

Jenny Take care when you go out into the weather.  Those winds can blow a person over!

Papa John.  Enjoy your holiday.  It is well deserved.

To the rest of the messages I have read them and there are too many to comment on individually.  I am glad y'all have had a good God day and pray you have a restful night.

There is a situation I am requesting prayer for.  A little girl has been coming to church every week to both church and sundayschool,  She has never missed.  Her mother is a lesbian, and last sunday she called the police to have this child removed from the church.  It was very sad as she has said "I want to find out more about Jesus."  We were praying she would be back this week but no, her mother has forbidden her from coming.  Pray for "T" and the family that they can be reached and the child can return.

Well it is getting late I think I will turn the 'puter over to john and have a bubble bath!

Love JudyB

Hello, all!  It seems I always get here after the sun has gone down and all of you are fast asleep    I'm sorry if you think I'm never around!

Sunday here for the Shuford's was pretty typically hectic.  It's our most restful day, in a way, but it's always an adventure trying to time everything correctly so that Travis is fed, happy, and properly napped when we go to church.  If not, he's a whole different kind of adventure.  

That's probably a segue to all the different opinions on church nurseries  I have a most unconventional attitude about them, but I won't burden all of you with my prattling.  

Two things Satan attacks on Sundays - marriage relationships and children under 3.  Maybe even under 5.  Okay, three.  He also provides us with Sunday morning headaches any time he thinks it would keep us out of church.  Have you ever noticed how babies always cry during the invitation / altar call?  Have you ever talked to others and realized how many couples get into disagreements or fights either on the way to church or between Sunday morning worship and Sunday night worship?  Satan loves distracting us so that we can't worship, and he'll do anything to keep us from making any type of commitment to Jesus.  

And no, Karma and I have NOT been fighting today  (Just a disclaimer there).  

Jenny - I did NOT like King of Torts.  I think that was his worst book to date.  Just my opinion.  It seemed to have absolutely no real focal point or climax.  Sorry, I hope you like it!  Maybe you can tell me what I missed.  

Well, I'm about to go to bed and sleep the day off

Good night all!

Hi Folks. Just a quick note to say hi and that we had a good but busy day. Church as usual was good and spent more time than usual after church talking to people. Everyone seemed to have the time today. I guess thats a good thing.

You know when I think back God has sure made some changes in me in the area of talking to peole at church and in ohter areas of my life. Some years ago I kept basically to myself but now I seem to be quite comfortable talking to people. The same thing goes for the classes I teach. If someone had said to me 15 years ago that I would be standing up in front a group as a teacher I would have said they were dilusional. But now thats what I do as a part time job.

I'm looking forward to what else God has in store for me. This is quite an adventure. Like the saying goes " God is not finished with me yet"

Well I'll close off here for tonight and get some rest, and get ready for tommorrows dept to the south again.

Gob Bless. Bonesy.

QuoteBy Gregg~Soni --- Another question for ya... Can you use any lenses with the digital rebel? Just wondering.... Cuz I'd like to be able to use the same lenses I have if I can.

I know you can use a sigma lens with the camera, but not sure about others.  What kind of lenses do you own now?

Edited to say " I just talked with some friends and they said pretty much any lens.  I guess the old sigma lenses or a few of them won't work.

Hello everyone!

Zachery
