Christian Photographers Community

It is good to see each one day.  Also a welcome to the new members.

We had a busy day today.  We went over to St. Petersburg and had lunch with some SeniorNetters and that took all morning and most of the afternoon.  I didn't get in my swim today.

I agree that cremation or burial, either one would be all right.  Cornelia and I plan to be buried.  We already have a place reserved in a family cemetery and we have prepaid for the funeral so it won't be any expense for our children.  Also the price can't go up for the funeral.  As has been pointed out we are going to get a new body anyway and I am glad because this old one is about worn out.  And the new one never will.  Praise God.

1Thes 4:14-18
14   We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
15   According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16   For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17   After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
18   Therefore encourage each other with these words.
(NIV)



Marilyn, I like the new picture.  Actually you look a lot younger but I know it was recently made because I think I saw it in the mini bash.

Reports of robins in the area - but they'd have a really hard time finding anything to eat in our back yard.  It's still completely covered with snow.  Even though it did hit 50 this afternoon.    The next few days are supposed to be at least in the 40's so maybe we'll have some robins soon.  I'ts almost time to put out the dryer lint and some pieces of bright colored yarn for nests, too.

Jeanne what a wonderful idea to put out the dryer lint and bright colored yarn for the nests. you have given me some ideas too.

I already have a bird feeder, and a hummingbird feeder hanging from the eaves on the front porch, then I throw out little pieces of bread almost every day for the  birds who don't come to the feeders.

I usually see the robins on the ground so I have thown some blueberries and more birdseed on the ground for them. They don't seem to like the blueberries.

Yesterday I bought a pot of lavender and one of sage and some basil seeds, I have them on the front porch too. I don't want to put anything in the back that the dogs might destroy or spray on.

There is a nice little place for a garden but The dogs have used it and I don't want to plant anything there. So I will garden in pots.  I am so looking forfward to be able to grow a few things this year. For all those years (10) in the desert I couldn't grow anything.

Yes Papa John that photo was taken last week, thank you for the compliment.

Marilyn You look like a teenager in this new picture!

Papa John, I understand your feeling your body wearing out, but you still have a lot of wisdom to impart to a lot of family and here on CP.  We pray for you.

Well it is getting late, I am going to sign off and spend time with Melaura.

Night all

Welcome to all of our new comers.  

I have enjoyed listening to all of the music as well, I will sure miss it when I shut down for the night.

Yes Mel Gibson has done something so very wonderful in the making of the film and the majority of the folk are so very thankful for his rewards.

Marilyn I like your new picture.

Zachery: Please do not forget to return. Your youth makes us feel young again.

Hi all...thought I'd drop by to say "hi"!  I'm over at a friends home taking care of her mother so I'm not at my own computer.  

Marilyn..I really like your new picture.  Wish I could take a picture and take 30 years off! hahah

This weekend I'm planning a photo trip to Caddo Lake along with some folks from WebAperature and Creative Photography.  We know each other from the web so it will be fun to finally get to meet them and trade photography secrets!    We'll be staying the weekend so I hope we'll get some smashing photos!

My job isn't keeping me very busy, so I'm looking again.  Anybody got some leads let me know.  heheh!

Pinkie, what a great sounding weekend!  I'm looking forward to seeing your many photos when you get home!  

Locking the door a wee bit early tonight.
