I could hear the lovely music, so I just KNEW it had to be coming from CP.  I sang along with you., but, I didn't know the last piece at all...so now I do!!

This morning we went to a different church., we had just sat down when a lady came up to us, looking so very angry, and told us that we were in HER seat.  She said she has sat there for 30 years, and wasn't about to change!!

Well, the usher had put my walker away to the back of the auditorium, so, with Norm's arm, I struggled over across the aisle.

Several people heard her say that to us, and told us not to move (there was no name on the chair, of course)., but after that, we wouldn't even THINK of staying!

Sooo, that was our experience this morning!

Etta Sue:  Your lunch sure sounded good.   Does your church put on lunches/dinners like that often?

A friend of my son's is coming to one of our local churches here to speak next Sunday.  I will be sorry to miss hearing him, as we plan to visit our daughter.  We haven't seen that side of the family since June., and I'm really missing them.

This afternoon after church and lunch, we went to the Legion grounds to hear a mass bands of Scottish Pipe bands, bag-pipes.

Is there anyone here who dosen't enjoy bag-pipes?  I really like them., but my dad couldn't stand them

I think its something that you either really like or dislike.

Thanks Marilyn for the link.  I'll have a good look at that for sure if it has where you and Al live!!!


Oh, Ruthie, how I remember the sing-songs we had at home and also when your dad and I got together.  Remember him?  "Hey, Patsy!  Do you know .....?  How about playing it for me!"  How I miss your father.  I know we aren't supposed to have favorites but I must say that there was something very special about Uncle Bob.  He and I had a closeness not very often shared by uncle and niece.  

Oh, Judy!  How I wish you had told me of the pipes and drums!  I was learning the bagpipes years ago and I just love them.   Jack was a Lieutenant in the 48th Highlanders in Toronto and all his marching was done to the skirl of the pipes!

I'm so sorry about your time at that different church.  I can't even imagine it happening!  Sorry!

Oh Pat... how I wish I had of thought to tell you!   It was such a lovely way to spend Sunday afternoon too!  Best part of it was that there was absolutely no charge whatsoever!

Jack and I were coming home from church one Sunday from Milton and we passed the Legion and saw many pipe bands and so we drove in and spent the afternoon so maybe this was a similar event.

Yes, if I had known I would love to have gone.

I've been sitting here singing and singing all of our hymns today but especially that last one "Our Song of Victory".  I can just imagine Larry's church choir singing that with all the parts.  And I can just hear them singing that last line--- "We have won!!"

Hi everyone.  First time getting here today and I see this has been a busy place with a lot of singing. I went to church by myself this morning as Pat as not feeling very good.  I think she is feeling somewhat better this afternoon and she has jury duty tomorrow so hope she will be up to par tomorrow.

Following our service this morning we had a Congregational Meeting that lasted until after 1 pm so it was late when I got home.  I stopped for some fried chicken so Pat wouldn't have to fix lunch.  It wasn't very good but served the purpose.  We elected a elders and deacons for the class of 2006 (these are three year terms).  We also voted to eliminate the position of Associate Pastor due to our financial situation.  Unfortunately our church is in a time of turmoil due to the situation with our senior pastor, who is on a six month sabbatical prior to vacating his position.  However, things are moving forward.

See you all tomorrow.

Hi everyone.  I am going to stay long enough to say hello to all of you.  Will come back later tonight and read today's posts.  Our evening service will begin in a half hour, so my time is limited right now.  
We had a wonderful worship service this morning, what a great sermon and the singing was just so good.  Plus some of our kids were here visiting with us.
C ya later.....
Love, Janice

Hi Ms Janice, it is wonderful to see you here.  

Hi Everyone,  

It is a wonderful day today, yes?  

I did try to sing a song here.   Every time I try to sing a song, everyone will run here to see if I am hurt.  
I think perhaps I sound as a cow if I sing.  
I do often have a song in my heart, but I can only sing the new words to the old song. It is the only song sound I do know.  

I did have a fun week most every day. I went yesterday to see the Cirque Du Soleil.  
If you can go to see it, it is wonderful.

And, so sad, I did sell my tiny car today.   It is too sad to see it go but I will not have a need for this for many months now.  Perhaps I can get a nother one day. It is not smart to pay for this when I am gone for so long.  

I will go now to read everything and I will be back again in a moment ok.  
I wish for everyone to have a good day.  

Hi there, Mieka!  It is so nice to see you today.  I'm sorry you had to sell your little car, but you can buy another one when you come back home, yes?  And with all of us on CP praying for you, you WILL come back!!  How many weeks now until you must go?

Janice, nice to see your smiling face today, too.  And all the rest of you!

We went to Hugoton for church, and just returned home a bit ago.  We had lunch at Diane's, then went to Guymon to look at a car wash our son in law is considering buying.  He values our input and advice--isn't that nice?  Abby was really full of "pep and vinegar" today!

I will go see what's been happening on the other threads here.  See you all tomorrow!

Oh, yes, Pat, I enjoyed singing with you this evening.  They sang all songs I didn't know today at church, with the exception of "A Mighty Fortress is our God"....I know that one!  They have so many talented musicians and singers, the worship leadership changes often, and a couple of them like the "new" stuff.  It's all right, the kids seemed to really be enjoying it.

Hi Ms Janet,   (((hug)))

I did like the stories you share.  

I must go in perhaps 6 more weeks. I must be there in the November.    I will try hard to like it. I do know there are many things I will enjoy from this. But i will miss my home for this time.

I did have some pictures to share for the place of worship challenge. For some years now I do go to all the many place of worship. I have many hundred pictures from all the places i did see. From all these places I do know which is the most holy place for me. It is the place I am with God each day. It is the place I find the best of friend and the most of love.
It is my home. I will have it in my heart when I am away and I treasure my time here.

I do love you all here, and I love you God.  

Mieka, we will miss you while you're away, but we'll cherish these weeks we have left to enjoy your company and we'll keep you in our hearts an prayers until you return.

Mieka:  I've missed something here....where is it that you are going?

PRAISE THE LORD

WHEN THE ROLL UP YONDER IS CALLED I WILL BE THERE.

We sure had a powerful prayer meeting this evening, only 3 of us were present and the spirit of the Lord made 4. Absolutely powerful. We laid hands on each other and were all anointed with oil The Holy Spirit did some powerful things in each of us. I feel so good. Awesome meeting.!!!

Hi Marilyn...  Yes, I did open the link and it's awesome!  I love that area.  

What a great time of singing we had, eh?

Now it's time to start another week!
