Christian Photographers Community

  Is this happening to anyone else?    (that smilies are going where they want to go and not where you want go?) 

All of the smilies in the above went where I wanted them to go.

Here I am again, was here  a little while ago  but didn't post. I have been copying some of my recipes off of here because our church is doing a cook book. Our women's group is putting it together. It will be so nice to see some of my recipes in print.  If any of you would like one of the cook books I will let you know when they are ready. Then I can order it for you.
later.



edit> the smilies went where I put them.

Hi, everyone.  In case I missed someone  or someone has their virus' detector set high (Marilyn)...I have changed my email address.  You can click on my name and get it from there. 

Rain in Spain!!!!!  Rain in the plains of Indiana today!!!!  Ivalou and I went to Staples and when we came out it was so dark to the EAST!!!  Yes, EAST!!!  The sun was shining where we were.     We walked to WalMart...same shopping area...and I got my camera battery there.  (Almost cheaper to buy a new camera...well, not quite but it cost toooooo much   )  Then I drove west to a Christian Book Store and got 'Glorious Appearing'.     Then came back to across the street from WalMart to Barnes & Noble.  Ivalou and I sat in the car for 10 minutes before the rain slowed down.  We both had umbrellas but both still got wet!!!  And it was still raining....big drops and lots of them...when we left.  BUT by the time we go home...it was just a drizzle!!!

Mieka!!!!!!  I missed you again!!!!!!  How are you, girl?

My smilies went where I wanted them.  May be a southern thing...

I got lots done today!  Yeaaaa!  And it was so fun to get to talk to Mieka!  I sure do miss her!

I think Darrel needs me to help him install an alarm system tomorrow, so not sure what time I will be on here.

Ursula, I agree that your decision was the best for your photo.  I would feel the same about it.  Good to have you posting again.

Boy, Etta Sue, we sure could use some rain here.  It is bone dry and no relief in sight.  Looks as if it is shaping up to be a really hot summer.

We had some people come out to look at our house we have for sale.  I pray they decide to buy it.  We need less to take care of, cannot keep up with all of it.

I wish all of you a blessed and restful night tonight.  See you tomorrow!

My smilies seem to be obeying all right!

I'm not having any troubles with the smileys, but some of the links (e.g. next page) seem to take me to prior day pages.  Maybe I'm just confused.

Ursula, it's not just you.  We're all learning together what this new software will do.  I'm learning all kinds of things.

So, hang in there...along with the rest of us.


News out of Britain:

The first is that British police arrested eight men with suspected links to terrorism and also seized 1/2 ton of ammonium nitrate, which can be used to make a bomb.  Spanish officials think that one of the men may be connected to the Madrid bombings.   

And Alistair Cooke, an English-born broadcaster famous
throughout the world for his weekly broadcast on BBC
World Service, died last night.  He was 95.      I listened to him a lot.

One thing that is new...

HI Folks!

Just wanted to stop in to say hi and I am still around. 
I am on my way out the door to dance practice.  I'll be back later.

Ursula, I am so glad to see you here.  Another great photographer amongs us.  (lets see if this little smilie works.)

I feel uncomfortable with this kind of thinking.

Ursula, you did the right thing.  When you feel uncomfortable about doing something it is always best to refrain from doing it.

We have had another good day here today.  This morning we went to the beach and had a very nice walk.

This afternoon I had a nice swim in the pool.

Rom 3:21-26
21   But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.
22   This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,
23   for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24   and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
25   God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished--
26   he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
(NIV)

I've been very remiss the last few days in welcoming all the wonderful new members.  So this is for all those I've missed.

It has been a quiet day around here, I did get some knitting done and instead of going to work I stayed home to rest as my knee is still in the recovery mode.  I expect that I will be going to work tomorrow I can now bend my knee enough to get in and out of the car.


Jenny: Good to see you again.

I know this song is popular and we sing it too, but as our Pastor pointed out  the last line is not true doctrinally speaking, our Lord  did not " think of me above all" He came to glorify the Father, and therefore His Father was His main focus and thought " above all."
Be careful with some modern songs, they are a bit suspect doctrinally!!
love Chris.

I think it's a terrible mistake to become the "First Church of the Hymnbook", because our doctrine should be based on the Bible.  If we EVER base our doctrine on ANY song, whether it was written in the 21st century or 2000 years before Christ, we are making  a terrible mistake.  NO song is to be regarded as canonical, regardless of how new or old it is.  I don't think it's fair to criticize the doctrine of new songs alone.  They were all written by fallible human beings.  Let's subject them ALL to the same looking glass. 

I also think that criticizing this song on this basis is a bit weak when we teach that Jesus died for us because He loved us.  If it wasn't His love that held us to the cross, but only a sense of duty, we weaken the message of love that the cross is really all about.  I personally believe that He DID think of me, because He was fully God and God is love, and God loves ME.  Degenerating the action of the cross to a simple "duty" seems to me to lessen the impact of what He did for ME.  He did it because He loves me, and any other interpretation doesn't sit quite right with me.  Sorry

In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing doctrinally wrong with this song   I don't say that to be argumentative, but because I believe it's true. 

I agree, Nards.  The Bible is God's Word, whereas the hymns, songs, etc. are man's words.  Hymns, songs, etc. are good - we're admonished to create and sing them.  And they can be very uplifting in many ways, but they are still man's words.

I've posted a Prayer Request that I just received HERE

Time to lock the door on today's interesting discussions...
