Verse for Today...[/font]

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
"For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. ." [/color]

Morning Devotional...

Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
Numbers 14:25

It is one thing to pray for others--as Moses had done--when you are not implicated in the results of that prayer. But what happens if God's answer to our prayer impacts us? What if it calls us to greater labor and sacrifice?

Moses had already felt the extreme burden of leading the people. Now God called him to face the years of wilderness wandering with these rebellious and often critical people.

His intercession on their behalf had, it seemed, worked to his own detriment. Yet, he was a true man of God and had the Lord's exaltation at heart.

Would I be prepared to do this?
--Garry W. Seale

Hi everyone!!

Sorry I haven't been around today.  I have been busy working on my special stuff in PSP.  Marilyn, the classes are great with Artistry.  I have been working with the Masters (the final group after the novice and artists classes) for I guess about 9 months now.  The Masters group is a little different.  (Said for those who are finishing up with the Artist's class)  We have the opportunity to do less, or learn more.  The choice is ours.  I am currently in a learning mode, and am doing as many tutorials as I can get my hands on.  PSP tends to be my relaxation, I don't find it stressful or in any way work for me.  I do know however that there are others out there who have trouble having it all make sence.

Anyway, enough of that....LOL

Mom I am sorry to hear that you fell....I hope you are feeling like you are back to normal soon.  The kids need you to be well.

I am going to run, but as always I will be around to check in on posts.

Love to all,
Heather

 ERIN GO BRAGH!!

hey everyone
Sorry I haven't been posting lately been BUSY (and gone) went skiing/snowboarding. got home from angel fire about 3 my time and stayed here and rested then had to go to hugoton. my Grampa has been put into the hospital he's very sick and all they are doing for him is giving him morphine and waiting for him to die. he's ready to go he says mom said at one point tonight he opened his eyes and said "I'm not dead yet!"  :'( well i'll talk later don't have much to say now
Sarah

Sarah, I am sorry your Grampa is sick.  He must have cancer since they are giving him morphine.  That's what my dad had some years ago.

Glad you enjoyed Angel Fire.  That's a beautiful place, isn't it?  We built a cabin south of there quite awhile ago, and enjoyed going there lots of times.  We used to go to church at Angel Fire when we were at the cabin for a week or so.
Adios,  Janice

GOOD MORNING ALL  11.17  in HOLLAND

Pat thank you very much for the good devotional this morning  also for the nice hyms and all the links.

It is very sunny in Holland and it shall be 15-17*C. :o

ETTA SUE thank you very much for your writing  "WHO KILLED JESUS"  I say we must be thankfull that Jesus is crusifyed because we all need forgiveniss from all our sins. But the Passion is now also in Holland only first in the big city's and in Holland the Jewish people are now saying. This movie let only
only see that we are reponsible for the crusifix of Jesus
was that also in Canada and America that the Jewish people that say ???

JANET i am sorry to read from your pain
and that you not may on the computer and painting
that is so sad for you dear Janet :'(

Sonja i am sorry that Lila Mae is fallen out bed  poor girl is she now afraid to go on bed.
But i am Happy that the bloodtest from Zachery are good.

Zachery it is terrible i don't no the answers on your questions because when you are writen names out the Bible then i must first taken my own Bible and look how are we that saying. You are saying Isaiah?  but we  Jesaja. Do you understand what i mean.

Sarah i also am sorry to read from your grampa but he knows to who he is going you shall miss him but he shall be so happy. I pray for you.


It was very thankfull to be in the nursing home some people there is never someone coming. The children are calling how mother or fahter is. But i say also are people demented they are also happy when there someone is coming. One woman was sitting with here Bible i ask here are you going read in the Bible she say no that can i no more i say shall i read something for you she say yes The lord is my Shepherd. I have read for here Psalm 23. She was so happy she say are you coming back i say yes that i promise you. Fryday i go back. There is such a lot work and the nursus have no time to read for the people. No it was very good to be there . There is a lot work to do.



Deuteronomy 8 : 11
Be carefull that you do not
forget the Lord your God.

PROVIDENCE AND PROMISES

   Lord, i fear only when i forget
Your providence and your promises.
   Let me live each day mindfull
of all You have done for me in the past
   and hopeful of all You will do
        in the days to come.

LOVE and Prayerfully

Hi! I will keep this brief as I need to get started here at work.  I enjoyed the scriptures and the devotional.  I hope to be adding this to my morning routine, like having the radio on the local Christian station every morning on the way to work.  That little bit of uplift to start my day makes the rest of the day go better.  Thank-you, Pat and Thank-you Lord for Your unfailing love and grace.

In God's grace,

Kathy :D

Good Morning Everyone!

Seems I've been up for hours!  I was packing my Avon last night and since this is a very short campaign, I have to get it completely done today.

Great to see you in here, Kathy!  Have a great day at work.  I look forward to seeing posts from you as often as you can spare the time.  Did you get lots of snow?  It ended up that we didn't get as much as was predicted.  Spring is just a few days away!


Janice, so good to see that you were in here last night after I locked the door of yesterday's NEM.  I think of you and Earl often.


Sarah, I'm so very sorry to read about your Grandpa.  I do feel so sad for your Grandma at this time and I'll be praying for the family as they go through this time together.


Have a good day at work, Heather.  PSP tends to be my time to relax too except when I'm hurrying to beat the deadline at the end of the class.  I tend to enjoy doing the lessons for the Artistry group over instead of the Masters.  I learn something each time I do them.


Hi Ria...     What a lovely poem...  I'm going to repeat it here again.  I'm also going to print it out and put it in my Bible.

[/color]

I guess, Pat!  Do you ever sleep?  ;)  :)

I was feeling sick :-[ yesterday and went to bed early.  I feel much better this morning.

Jenny, where are you???  I miss your post!!  :-*

Ria~Yes, Lila Mae is still sleeping in her bed.  I don't think she remembers falling out since it was in the middle of the night and she was still sleepy.  Thank goodness.  ((hug))

Awww...Sarah! I am sorry to hear about your grandfather.  I will keep you all in my prayers.

Karma~You got a shot in for portraits?  Mine was doing good, but seem to have dropped quite bit since yesterday.  ???

Egenda for the day

• Burn some pictures
• Clean house and do laundry
• Work out at the club
• Deliver papers
• Take Chandraya to dance
• Go to dance myself

Janet~Abby is always welcome to come over and help with the laundry.  ;D
I am thinking about you!  Take it easy.  :)

I better get myself something to eat.
Be back later.
Soni

Quote from: KWestt on March 17, 2004, 08:11:42 AM
Thank-you Lord for Your unfailing love and grace.

In God's grace,

Kathy :D

Amen, Kathy.

What is your favorite band?  I would have to say mine is Mercy Me.  I love all their songs.  Glad to see you posting.

Soni

Good morning!  Ria, you are an inspiration to me!  I did go to the care home yesterday, but had Abby with me and I was not feeling so good, so I didn't contact the activities director about what help they are needing.  But I will!

Janice, good to see you!  Welcome, Kathy West!

Sarah, I'm so sorry about your grandpa.  It isn't easy saying goodbye (even temporarily) to those we love.

I slept better last night, not as much pain, so I guess the treatment and the pills helped.  But I don't dare push it, so better get off here now!  I need to see what changes I can make with my setup here, so I don't have to lift my arms so high to type.

For St. Patrick's day..........

Irish Blessings:
May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks.
May your heart be as light as a song.
May each day bring you bright happy hours,
That stay with you all year long.

May the sons of your sons fill your home with laughter.

May God grant you many years to live,
for sure He must be knowing,
the earth has angels all too few,
and heaven is overflowing.

Always remember to forget the troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember the blessings that come each day.
====================

Good Morning.Pat I have sent the link to the article about the Hmoung Christians to my friends down south. How sad and awful is the treatment of those wonderful Christians. By The Way Pat I love your new photo, you are so petite and cute. ;D I have bookmarked the site for the PSP lessons and will check it out later today.  I am getting a $30.00 rebate on PSP all I have to do is send in a compy of my icture It CD and a copy of my electronic reciept or shipping order.So it is only costing me $58.00 after the rebate.

Jenny Where are you this morning?

Ria I know that you will really enjoy going into the Nursing home and being a blessing to the people there. In my work I feel blessed to be able to help those who can no longer help themselves. Fay and I discuss the Bible everyday and she always waits for me to pray over the food before she eats. Jesus said that when we do for the least of them it is like we are doing it for him. (Parphrased by me) It blesses me to be a blessing.

TTYL

Our snow was funny.  It snowed...all the ground was covered but the pavements weren't.  The snow melted on the pavements.  Jerry and I went to our Small Group Bible study last evening.  One of the men...works for Indiana Gas Company...was driving to work yesterday morning.  The roads looked fine but was slick in spots.  He approaced a crossroad with a church on one of the corners.  A car meeting him slid and went across the road in front of him.  He slammed on his brakes (one brake he knew wasn't working and had reported it to get it fixed) so he slid sideways into the parking lot of this small church.  The lady in the car did a 360°, then turned over twice, landing on the top of the car.  He was afraid to see if she was hurt but did anyway.  She didn't have a scratch on her.  Ironic that they both ended up in the church parking lot and neither was hurt.  God was sure present!!!

It was snowing again when I took out the trash this morning.  A wet snow...blowing.  My hair was wet when I came back in.

Marilyn ~ The PSP lessons...the website doesn't stay open for long after the lessons are over.  You can see the lessons but you can't download things.  What I do is I download what I need to do the lessons and then print them out...lots of ink and paper.  Then I can do them in my own time and also have the prints for later use.  

Liz ~ I am having a 'nasty' test done at the hospital tomorrow.  Clear, liquid diet today.  

Sarah ~ Sorry to hear about your Grandpa.  Some people just get tired of living and truly welcome the thought of living with Jesus in heaven.  I know I will....but just not yet.

Kathy ~ Glad to see you posting.  It is great to get into a habit of Godly things, isn't it?  

Pat ~ I love your new photo...so springy in pink!!!

Have a fun time, Jane.  ;D

Good morning!!  ;D  I won't stay long because I need to get to the store and then finish getting things together for my trip south!  

I will be leaving for California in the morning and not returning until Monday.  First, I will be stopping for a visit with MARILYN, AL and MARBETH... [size=+2]YEEEHAAAAW[/size]   Then, I'll be going further south into California to attend my first ever high school reunion.  I have never even wanted to go to a h.s. reunion but the announcement came at just the right time for me.  :-\  I have been under a lot of stress for these past months and a break from it all will be wonderful.

After brunch, on Sunday, I will be driving to Sacramento with the hope of a visit with (some of) my grandchildren.  Sixteen year old Laura says she will be home and looking forward to seeing Grandma, but she's not sure if she will be able to round up the rest of the family.  They are Jean's children, and very busy with their own agendas, y'know?  I did ask her to please try to get hold of Tim and his family, because I haven't seen him in a few years and he's just back from Iraq.  I really want to keep in touch but he was only able to write to me while away from home ... it's an old story which I prefer to leave in the dark.  Suffice it to say, this part of the family (except for Laura) have things other than grandma to think about.  :-\

Anyway ... I am off to get some more of that work stuff done around here.  As Arnold says "I'll be ba-a-ack!"

Sorry, SONI  ;)  Now it looks like you read my mind and answered before I posted.  ;D

Ms.Ria, Yes I know what you mean!
I will try to find out what it is in your language!

Good moring everyone!

Zachery

ETTA SUE  How I wish I was going with you! ! ! !  You are going to my second favourite area in the States.  (Papa John is in my favourite)

Enjoy the heat and sunshine.  

Well I am heading into the Bay soon so bye for now

JudyB

JudyB I don't know how much heat Jane will encounter here in cAlifornia, But she will see the sun shine. I has been pretty warm south of here, in some places int he 80's.

Hello!  I'm sorry I haven't been able to post much lately.  We've been busy.  The baby just went down for a nap, so I thought I would sneak in some computer time.

Heather, I would love to know more about your PSP classes!

Pat,  That storm yesterday missed us altogether.  It all went south of us.  I heard that the Lansing and Detriot areas got hit - the wet heavy stuff that makes traveling such a mess.  It's trying to snow sort of today, little tiny flakes float past the windows every now and then.

Soni, I guess I like a lot of different groups and really don't have a favorite.  I do have a couple of Mercy Me cds and I really enjoy their music and message.  I listen to WCSG out of Grand Rapids and they are online if anyone is interested to listening via the web.

Well Kim, Aunt Pat posted the link yesterday too I think.  I have so much fun doing them.  The way to get registered in the classes is to go to

http://www.coldfusion-vpm.com/~jemima/Artistry_Pages/

and register there.  They are a great bunch of people and I have learned that there are a number of Christians in the group!  I can't take credit for them being my classes though.  I would never have learned of them if it hadn't been for my aunt taking the classes.  Just when I got started I wasn't able to stop.  My hubby hardly saw me for 2 months when I was going through the classes....LOL.....  I expect that I am not the normal one here!

Mom, I hope your back is feeling better today!  It is nice to see that you are going to be coming up here to the Bay, I think that is a good sign, that you are feeling a bit better.  I don't know about having enough of the white stuff for me though.  I kinda enjoy looking at the snow.  It is ice that I have a problem with.  Ever since I broke my ankle, 3 years ago, I have been a little scared of ice and walking on it.  It is good to know though, that Spring is coming and with it the warmer weather.  Thankfully I was born in the spring, because I know that by the time my birthday rolls around we will be enjoying warm weather all the time.

Sara, I am sorry to hear about your grandfather.  It must be terrible for him to be in so much pain.  I know it is equally aweful for you knowing that he is in that pain.  I will be praying for you and your grandpa.  Both my grandfather's are in Heaven, and I know they are much happier there than they were here.  I still miss them very much, but knowing that they are happy makes it all worthwhile for me.

Ria, you are doing amazingly well with your English.  I love coming online in the morning knowing that I am going to be able to sit and read what you have had to write.  Jon, my hubby, and I have been talking, and we have decided that rather than save money at first to buy a house, we are going to save money to do some travelling.  It won't be this summer, but hopefully by next summer we will be able to come and visit you in Holland.  I have always wanted to see the land that my father came from.  We will be adding Scotland into the trip.  We are hoping by the time we are able to make this trip, that Jon will have learned who is Birth mother is, so that he can track down some roots in Scotland.

Ok, now that I have gone all color on you, I am going to sign off....lol

Love to all
Heather

Heaather, Pat, Etta Sue would oneof you send me the link to the PSP yahoo group that you all belong to. I have registered for the classes starting in May.

Kim don't you already do most of the graphics on your sight. I love your Blinkies I have someon my web site and a link to your page.

Hello everyone ---

Zach... I know how you feel about dogs. When I was 4 I was goin out to feed my grandfather's dogs and one of them thought was trying to tease them with the food. The dog bit me and I had to have 107 sitches on my face, mouth, and tongue. So believe me I know how you feel. I am still a bit skiddish around big dogs at 27!

Hello Soni... Loved those pictures of Chandraya... Such a cutie!

Lately I have been working on some test shoots for my series and am looking for one pivital piece that I need for the shoot. Plain large brown paper bags... like the ones you get from the grocery store, but with nothing printed on them. I can only find them in large quanities from like a wholesaler or something and I only need like 30 (not the 500 I would have to buy from a wholesaler). Anyone know where I might be able to find some?

Also been trying to work up my network. I'm currently looking for a hairstylist, makeup artist, and fashion designer so that we can work on projects together. I'm mostly looking to do a TFP deal (Time for Prints... It's a term that professional photographers use, if you didn't know) as I don't have the kind of money that these people charge. So be in prayer for that... I'm looking at making a flyer and putting it up at the local community colleges that offer cosmotology and fashion design to see if I get any takers.... cuz a student will be more understanding as they are most likely in the same boat as I am.

Also been working very hard on getting my friend Kristen an art show at the gallery I work at. It looks like it will be happening after we move our gallery next month. So excited!! Can't wait to see her again... She is an amazing photographer and I know we will have a blast while she is here!

Well of to get some stuff done!

Gregg

Good afternoon all!  A clear, sunny, cold day here in Western North Carolina.  I hope everyone of you is having a great day.  

Soni -- No, I don't have one in portraits.  I couldn't do what I wanted to, and just never got anything else done.  I do have one in "parallel" and it is doing better than I thought (not great, but better than anticipated).

Here's a question for you to ponder.  Aside from salvation, what is the single greatest thing Christ has ever done for you?  

Quote from: Sonifo on March 17, 2004, 10:46:19 AM


Have a fun time, Jane.  ;D

What's Jane going to do that you're telling her to have "fun" doing?

???

OHHHHHHHH......   Mind reader, Soni!

Kim don't you already do most of the graphics on your sight. I love your Blinkies I have someon my web site and a link to your page.

Marilyn, when the classes start, you are automatically added to a Yahoo group.  The groups shut down when the classes aren't in session.

Fast Eddie, the pool has now warmed up and is warm as toast.  I had a great swim this morning.  I just did 11 laps but I will work up to 20 or 25.  We had a nice walk on the beach this morning too.  It is a beautiful day here, sunshine and 76 degrees.

Marilyn and Jane, I know you will enjoy your visit.  Jane can tell you, Marilyn, about her short visit with me and Cornelia in our home in Nashville a few years ago.  It is a small world.  Good friends are a treasure.

Ps 122:7-9
7   May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels."
8   For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be within you."
9   For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.  (NIV)

Ok I will try again.  My puter is posessed or something.  I was here posting and all of a sudden 4 more explorers come up and the whole thing froze up.  I think I have unthawed it (LOL HEZ) long enough to post.

The trip to the Bay hgas been cancelled. the girls are going to miss out on Karate for today.  The chiropractor called and I am filling in a cancellation spot.  (Heather Dr Krepps asked me to get you to call them.)  

I have had a hot bath, which is probably a bad move, I would have been better to ice.  

It is amazing what you find when you do laundry.  Kass and I came up with $17.93 in change today.  I guess John forgot to empty his pockets this weekend!  I am rich! ;D

Ruth Ann did you manage to have a visit with anyone interesting?  Let us know about it? :D

Well I am out of here, Will be back after the chiropractor.

JudyB  

Ms.JudyB! You will give that money back right? ;D

It is 1:13 PM here right now. almost time to do papers.

THought I would say goodbye

Zachery

If you find money in the wash, it is mine.   ;D  I have a bad habbit of forgeting to empty my pockets. hehehe... thank goodness I do most the laundry.  

Shall we scoot, Zachery?

http://ingeb.org/songs/kathleen.html

Nope Zach I spent it.   I bought a frozen Lasagna for supper.  I am not feeling like standing that long to cook supper.

Well This is the verdict.

Whiplash (neck) injured sholder he doesn't think I have injured the rotator cuff.  Serious problems with the lower back.  He refused to touch it till I have x-rays.  He thinks there is a possibility I may have cracked a vertebrae. There is alot of muscle involvcement in tightening as I went down.  That is about it.  God is good I am still walking.  This could be far more serious.

Papa John I love those verses.  Really a sence of calm in them.

Soni, Enjoy the papers and walk carefully. You don't need to slip on ice! LOL LOL

Well I am off and running again
Talk later.

Hi everyone.  Another busy day here as we had our former neighbors over for his 81st birthday and had a good lunch of potato, broccoli, cheese and ham soup and a cheese ball with crackers.  For dessert Pat had gotten a Baskin Robins ice cream cake (and it was really good as was the rest of the food).  We then played a few hands of bridge. They told us today that they are moving back to Springfield, Ohio in a few months into a retirement community and to be close to family.  They have no family here, only many friends.  We will certainly miss them but know this is what they needed to do.  They have a two-story house and Erma had back surgery and now must walk with a cane and is in a lot of pain so doesn't need the steps.

Sarah, so sorry to hear that the days are few for your grandfather.  These are experiences of life that are not easy but which we all face.  I pray that his passing be peaceful.

Jane, I hadn't realized that you are traveling to California and will see Marilyn and Al and his wife there.  I remember now that you had mentioned the class reunion before.  Hope you have a safe and very enjoyable trip and that you will be able to see your grandchildren in Sacramento.

Zachery, sorry I haven't had time to enter your Bible trivia but will try to do so on some of your later questions when I am not quite as busy as I have been recently.  I maintain several different webpages and that is keeping me pretty busy.  

JudyB, that sounds like pennies from Heaven.  Hope you are feeling much better today.

Papa John, it was a bit chilly up here this morning with a brisk wind but this afternoon it is very nice and has warmed up.

We have to head to church shortly as this is choir practice and Pat attends a Bible study class while I am in choir.  We will go a bit early and I will help her with the children's packets for the Sunday.  Tomorrow I am going to go to the home of one of the church members and help her setup her new computer.  I had helped her some months ago but she was trying to use an old hand-me down computer.  She will be a lot happier with this one.  This has been a very busy week.

Kim don't you already do most of the graphics on your sight. I love your Blinkies I have someon my web site and a link to your page.

Marilyn, yes, I do all the graphics on the GoPraise site.  But I thought there might always be something I can learn!

Let's sing!

I am heding to bed.

Judt a quick note though, I had a call from John a while ago and he has had the most enjoyable afternoon.

He had lunch with our Ruth Ann! ! !

I will let one of them tell you about it, just thought you would like to know!

Night all

JudyB

I've been speaking to Mieka.  She's in Germany and sends you all greetings.

I hope that she'll pop in here and post later.

Hello everyone

Sarah

Sara, I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather.  My prayers will be with you over the next little while.

Okay, okay, I'll share about our meeting at lunch today.

Since all of y'all know that I'd love to meet you if you come anywhere near Nashville, Judy and John (Bonesy) took me up on the offer.

John was traveling in his rig through Nashville and due to come in about lunchtime, so we made plans to meet.

You'll laugh with me about how I told him he could recognize me at the restaurant. Of course, I wore dark green for St. Patrick's day today, so since I'm short and fat, I told him to look for someone looking like a big green teddy bear. <giggle>

Seriously, it was so great to shake hands with a new Christian friend. Our conversation ranged from sharing our faith to family and how we came to be believers to work experiences.

He even hinted that maybe at some time Judy could come with him if he comes through this way again.

Now, friends, that makes me REALLY anxious to meet others of you. Y'all c'mon down here.

Let's see, I've met Pat and Jane in person, have spoken on the phone with Marilyn and Nita, and each contact makes me wish for more.

And, you're gonna have to chide us both - neither thought to take a photo, and I was actually carrying my cell phone that has a camera in it. So, that just calls for another meeting, I think.

It's late, so I ust go. Y'all have a great day in the Lord.

Ruth Ann

That's just such sad news, Sarah about your Grandpa.  Please know that we'll be praying for you during the coming days.


Great that you met John, Ruth Ann!

Now it's time to lock the door.
