Christian Photographers Community

Good evening all.  I have just finished reading all the posts for the last two days....had to take breaks in between.  Have caught the virus that has spread all over the island.  So much for flu shots!

Welcome to all the newbies.  You have found a wonderful site and hope that we will see lots of posts.  I am from Vancouver Island in Canada.  

Sorry about your friend,  Pat.  Can relate as Al is getting weaker all the time.  What a strange Christmas this will be.  We have gone to Christmas functions for ages and shared so much over the years.  This virus means I will not be able to go over for awhile and can only try to provide courage over the phone.  So grateful that he is a Christian and is not afraid.

Ria, you surely do have lots of friends.  I used to paint my own cards but get Amanda to make them now.  Must speak to her about that soon....Will not be putting any decorations up as packing will be taking priority.  Think I will stick up my Christmas Teddy Bear tho'.....Wonder if packing too Carols will make the work easier??

Think I will check out the other sites now and then off to bed with a cup of hot tea.  

God Bless and Pleasant Dreams.

Ruthie - I found it so interesting to read about Faith Crosby, and the lovely relationship you have with her.  I wonder if she remembers my mother....Marian Ashby from Grace Church, Niagara Falls....my Mom took me to Fair Havens several years in a row when Faith was speaking to the ladies group there.  I wonder if she still speaks at Womens retreats.  I'd sure love to hear her again.

Ruthie - I mean't to add this to my previous post. What would your book be about if you do decide to write one?   A bio?...

I could not imagine where to start if I were to write a book....have any here on CP ever written a book...I'd be interested to know.

Marilyn I love skating too, but what  I did with the girls was better for us.

Tonight was our favourite Hymnsing night.  There are only a handful who actually go and 2 families of children.  We had an hour and 15 minutes of singing.  Pastor Jeff's wife plays, and she is soo good, much like my sister.  the surprising part of a night like this is the number of favourites the children come up with.  Absolutely an awesome time of fellowship and worship.

Melaura is staying at Bonnie's home tonight, at her request.  It will do her good to have this time with her aunt.  Bonnie spoils her, like all aunties!

Well have to close. I am falling asleep here so I am going to bed.

Night all

Judy Mc.... Yes Faith still speaks all over and I am sure she would remember your Mother.   That's the kind of person she's like.   So sensitive and caring.    Faith had cancer herself about 2 years ago, and now she is cancer free.   She gets tired though.   Needs prayer from some of God's loving people.

I would probably write a book about my life and God's faithfullness to me.  If it would help someone, it would be worth it.

Just listened to "Till the Storm Passes by"  It brings tears to my eyes.   Love that piece.

God Bless

Sorry to hear about your friend Larry.  Especially because of the circumstances.  Is Diane a Christan?  If not, your task will be harder than before.  You (and all Christians) are messengers for the Lord.  All we can do is give them the Word and the rest is between them and the Lord.  

No, Lee, Dianne is not a believer.  Please continue to pray for her.

I'm sorry to not have written back, but I don't know how to use IM.  Pat told me one time but didn't use it then, so it quickly passed me by.

Lee, when you get an IM, you click on the "Reply" button and type in the box that comes up.  That is how you reply to one.

BUT I'm not saying for you to click "Reply" to the email notification that you receive.  You must click on the word "messages" up at the top right of every page and reply on there.

Etta -- It's not actually the company Mary Kay that is requiring the book to be read, but my director.  Having said that, though, one of the reasons I signed on with MK is that their company philosophy is God first, family second, career third.  At first I was skeptical, and figured that it was just lip service, but the more I am in the company, the more I see that Mary Kay Ash herself truly believed it.  I also like that one of the "rules" we are supposed to follow is "Do unto others as you would have others do to you.'  Sounds familiar, doesn't it!

Anyway, I've read a few chapters.  May do some more tonight before bed.

Lee -- I am trying to write a book as well.  I got the idea about 5 years ago and kept pushing it back, back, back.  In the past few months, I have felt God gently nudging me (and sometimes not so gently) to commit and get it finished.  Mine is historical/Biblical fiction.

Pat, Dianne is definitely in my prayers, as you are.  

I won't be in as much this week as I normally am.  Fortunately, the approaching holiday season is a good selling time.. . .So, I have a Mary Kay show Tuesday night, one Thursday afternoon, and one Thursday night.  It's going to be a busy, busy, busy week at the Shuford house.  I'm sure my babysitter (aka nards656) will keep you updated!!!!

Take care and if I don't get back in here tonight, have a wonderful Monday mornign!!

Hello~~~It's just me, stopping by to bid you all a good night, with restful sleep and pleasant dreams about the goodness and faithfulness of our God!

Good night!

OOPS---I wanted to say to Etta Sue, how cute your welcome graphic is!  Looks like lots of work on that, and you did a lovely job.  Makes me almost wish I were new so you could use those cute bears to welcome ME!

Well, here we are back from all the meetins.  Our brother John preached this AM on the withered fig tree in Mark 11.  Then this evening we talked about it some more.  We have three of us doing all the preaching just now.  I do two times, then Chris does one, then Jon does two, then me again.  Our regular pastor is on sabbatical 'til December.  So today was Jon.  He talked about the fruit our Lord requires us to bear (Gal. 5:22, 23).
I see some here are interested in writing books.  I hope you get them written, though the hard part is finding a publisher.
I've self published one book a few years ago.  I've almost got two more on (you guessed it) Mark and Psalms.  Don't know who would publish them.  If you think of it, pray about it.

I am off to bed, folks!

Night.
Sonja

Me too, Sonja...  Off to bed.  Big week ahead of me.
