Morning Devotional...Brethren. . . this one thing I do. Philippians 3:13
Priorities.
Originally it was only used in singular form, priority. Makes sense, doesn't it? When you have more than one priority it no longer takes priority but soon becomes a juggling act.
How many of us know all about that!
What was Paul's priority? He pressed on toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Everything in his life was with this one, single, glorious, priority in full and constant view. He could say, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
What's your priority?
No juggling, please!
--Rex TrogdonHave ye counted the cost,
have ye counted the cost,
ye warriors of the cross?
Are ye fixed in heart
for your Master's sake,
to suffer all earthly loss?

WELCOME lmaupin!!
We're REALLY so very glad to see you!

Jane Walker, that is great news that your grandson Tim is back from Iraq! I know you are so happy.
Pat, I hope your cold is better by now. Did you find the Zicam that the others were telling about? Take care of yourself, lots of fluids and plenty of rest. (Everyone is the expert in telling you what to do! :-)
Hope you don't mind.
Marilyn, I know what BPV is, have had that off and on for 25 years or so. It can be very bad, I have to keep my head level and straight forward or I am asking for problems! Like some other chronic ailments which I have, I have learned what to do or not do in order to avoid it getting bad again. I hope you have relief from it soon. Mine will come and go regardless, sometimes.
We had a great day at church, our pastor has begun a series on the Seven Last Words of Christ. Today it was on "Father forgive them....." This is all leading up to Easter of course.
It seems like the only time I can manage to get here is late at night. I really have my hands full, being caretaker, sort of, to two people. Hubby has had fibrillation again, and is now taking warfarin. That takes a long time to get settled in on the correct dosage. I have had a time getting prescriptions refilled - what with the drug store and the insurance - red tape! "Why are you asking for this refill early?" I just told you, the doctor has increased his dosage 3 times...."Well the insurance won't cover it until next Wednesday"...gives me a headache sometimes, dealing with all this.
We thought we were about to lose his sister in the nursing home, she has had so many health concerns the last 2 1/2 months. She was in hospital, etc. She is somewhat better now, hope she will continue this well. I have been doing her laundry and ironing these 3 years. There is more of it now as she has become incontinent. Also I do shopping for her when she needs something, and now I am taking care of her business. She got so confused she couldn't handle it.
You all have a good day. It is still 3/07 here, but will soon be tomorrow, so I better get to bed.
G'Night! Love, Janice
9.10 a.m.
A lovely sunny morning here today, though still icily cold.
Pat "Warriors" fits the theme today as I had in mind Tim when I logged on this morning.
Janice God bless you for noticing re Tim. I have come on especially this morning to praise and thank God for bringing Jane's Grandson Tim home safely from Iraq.
Lord Jesus,
Thank-You and praise You for bringing Tim home to his family in safety. Please bring Bryan safely home and the other boys also. Amen
.
Soldiers of Christ arise
and put your armour on,
strong in the strength which God supplies
through His eternal Son;
strong in the Lord of Hosts
and in His mighty power;
who in the strength of Jesus trusts
is more than conqueror.
Stand then in His great might,
with all His strength endued;
and take, to arm you for the fight,
the panoply of God.
Leave no unguarded place,
no weakness of the soul:
take every virtue, every grace,
and fortify the whole.
From strength to strength go on;
wrestle, and fight, and pray;
tread all the powers of darkness down,
and win the well-fought day,-
that, having all things done,
and all your conflicts passed,
you may o'ercome through Christ alone,
and stand entire at last."
Charles Wesley (1707-1788).
For Iain
Iain dear brother. I have not forgotten you. Be assured I continue to pray for you.
Your sister in Christ.
Jenny.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
CHRIS AND MARGIT
RIA :) :) :)
12.45 p.m.U.K.
Dear Ria
I get these warnings too from my provider AOL. They say "unless you know the person who sent this we advise do not open it." AOL is an excellent provider.
I open if I know the person.
I had crashes last year on this "puter" but I use McAfee now and Stinger and Ad Aware., also I have just downloaded Spy Ware Blaster, a brilliant, fully recommended freebie. I have double checked sister and my computer is clear. We still have to be vigilant.
When I had the crashes I was using Panda ant-virus ...that is an anti-virus that abolutely messes up your files...ouch!!! It clings to everything and it takes a lot of hard work to get rid of.
Hope you get this problem explained dear sister.
Love Jenny :)

Love Ria (https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fchristianphotographers.com%2Fforum%2Fsmi%2Fbyebye.gif&hash=8859d570f4eed25598673bd093ec19d5f359d442)
I am reposting this post, I would like to make sure I gave the correct answer!
The last hymn we sang in church today was I Surrender All. After the last prayer, a lady asked me this question.
"When we surrender all to Christ, do we also surrender our depression and lack of focus too?"
My answer was "Yes!"
Any comments?
Ria. I too have been receiving Viruses in the mail, but, the virus detection programs I have keep them out. This is a good thing. I use Norton and McAfee as well as a fire wall called BlackIce. Then to top that off I have a mail washer which deletes any spam I want deleted.. The bad mail I was getting is no longer coming in.
Pat Thankyou for playing that hymn for me last night.
Morning Jenny! Howdy sis.
I am off to a friends home, I do her laundry which is a problem for her as she teaches Melaura French. We have a good time with all the kids!
Jane I am so happy for you that your grandson is coming home. There is rejoicing in the family today!
Well I had best run and will be back tonight.
Love JudyB
I believe we must surrender all when we say we surrender all. It simply means that we are totally willing to submit to His Lordship alone. That would include any depression or lack of focus. It must include ALL.
Hi Judy...
I think you gave the lady the correct reply. It's what I would have told her.
Oh, Hi Al! I took so long to post that you got in there too. How are you today?
Chris and Margit, tell us all about your wedding anniversary! What are you doing to celebrate?
Hi Pat...
I saw you on line.
"Warm fuzzies" to you. ;) Hope that cold is better today dear.
Love Jenny.

Good morning.
Great to see Janice posting. You take care. Don't wear yourself out being the caregiver.
And what wonderful news, Jane. I know you are breathing a sigh of relief just knowing Tim is on home ground again.
I tried all afternoon yesterday to use peoplepc as an ISP to see if I like it. It is cheaper than core.com. But I couldn't get it to download the software. I even have the CD but that wouldn't work either. I called them. They said it is my virus detector. I disenabled it and it still doesn't work. Does any of you guru's have an ideas of what to do?
Since Jerry's neurologist cancelled and rescheduled his appointment a few days back, we are going today. I don't relish driving in Indy but hopefully and prayerfully, it won't be bad. My driving seems more confident since I have gotten new glasses. It does help to see while driving.... ::) ::) :o»ïÏï«,¸¸,»ïÏï«,¸¸,»ïÏï«,¸¸,»ïÏï«,¸¸,»ïÏï«,¸¸,»ïÏï«,¸¸,»ïÏï«,¸¸,»ïÏï«,¸¸,»ïÏï«

Thanks Jenny... I'm sure tomorrow will be better. Still sniffling here a lot.
Etta Sue Did you disable your firewall? I have peoplepc and it is real easy to use. I had to disable the firewall as well as the virus detector to install it.
Anyway Good morning to every one. I am going to Wm's this mornig before I go to work so I need to check throughtthe other folders and get ready to go.I will be back later.
Happy Anniversary
Chris and Margit
Good morning, everyone! It's so nice reading all the entries and getting to know everyone. :)
I guess I figured out how to post my picture correctly, since it's showing up! Whew!
Hi Kim!
Lovely to see your photo there.
You're still a llama! You know you can remove that! LOL
You have one of my favourite verses in your signature. I remember in highschool, using the old Inter-Varsity hymn book for our Bible Club, number 160 was based on this verse. It was lovely to sing.
I was wondering what a llama was! :D
Wait till Lee gets here! He'll tell you about llamas. He has one or two of them. They spit.
(The software that CP uses puts that in there automatically for all new people but you can go into your preferences and change that to maybe where you live or something like that or the kind of camera you use.)
Hi everyone. We have a beautiful and sunny day here in Georgia but it is also windy and chilly. We had some strong winds last evening but the power only flickered. Some folks around the city lost their power and I hear that North Carolina was hit hard with wind damage. I got up early this morning and did my walking at the "Y" for today. Papa John, I am like you in that my heart doctor wants me to walk each day that I can. I like to get it done early in the day. The housekeeper is here today so we will have a shiny clean house by noon time. I am taking the Saturn to the dealer for its 60,000 mile service, which is the last I have under the extended warranty. This is going to be a pretty busy week as have something on the schedule everyday this week.
Jane, certainly good news to hear that your grandson is home from Iraq and know you are counting the weeks until the other grandson gets back as well.
Ria, sorry to hear that your son has the flu and do hope it is of short duration. Has your husband ever tried the Breathe Right nose strips at night? My wife uses those every night as she has sleep apnea but can no longer use the machine that she used for about 8 years as the air from it was affecting her eyes.
Happy Anniversary Chris and Margit and welcome to CP lmaupin.
Etta Sue, it sounds like Marilyn gave you good advice in terms of disabling the firewall while you install the software. You could reboot into safe mode and do the install that way as well.
Jenny, I had not heard of the Spy Ware Blaster software but do use the Ad Aware software and Spybot and they do a good job. My ISP also scans e-mail for virus and I often get messages about an e-mail having been deleted. My AVG Anit-Virus also scans both incoming and outgoing e-mails.
Soni, your sing along with other churches sounds like a very good things.
Janice, you certainly have your hands full as a caregiver and helper. The medication your husband is taking is a very strong drug. It is really something when we humans have to take as medication the same compound that is used in rat poisoning, but of course, most medicines are poisons, or at least that is what I understand. Do hope they are able to get the medication adjusted soon for your husband.
Guess I had better signoff for now and get busy with some other things before I have to leave to take my car to the dealer.
Good morning Ms.Kim Ms.Pat Ms.Jenny Mr.Larry and everyone else!!
Welcome to CP Emaupin!!!
Zachery
Thanks Larry, it was fun. You telling us about your car reminds me we need to get our oil changed. Hope your day goes well.
Morning Zachery, Pat, Marilyn, Ria and Jenny.
Hi Kim! Glad to see you posting already. You are quick. Lovely picture! I am going to go check out your website after this post. I really like your picture you posting in the "Green" challenge.
Zachery has to get blood work done today and Troy and I are going to work out at the club. I will be sore tonight.
I will talk with you all later.
soni
Hi Soni... Poor Zac having all these blood tests!
Hello, everybody!
Windy, windy, windy and cold here in Wesssern Norf Caliner. It might snow :(
I hope everybody has a great Monday. I just poured Sprite all over the floor of the van, so I'm off to a good start, I guess :)
Talk to y'all later!
Janice, Jenny, Ria, JudyB, Etta Sue and Larry: Thanks for sharing in my "praise report" about Tim's safe return home after nearly a year in Iraq. The news that he is back with his wife and two sons and resuming his "normal" life is something everyone hopes to hear about their loved ones. Sadly, there are many who never receive news of this sort but learn they will never be seeing their special person again. :'( I pray for them. And I thank all of you who are still praying for Bryan's safety. He is in a very volitile spot at the moment (Mosul) and he says he and all his buddies "stay afraid."
Nard~I've been meaning to tell you ... you look so much like Tim in this photo of you! He plays keyboard and sings ... he is worship leader/music minister at his church in Sacramento. :D
Jenny, Judy, and Ria..........
My dinosaur PC goes into overload when anyone sends us e-mail with large attachments. Sooo, I now go to our privider and check to see who's sending the hugh attachment(s), and delete them there. Plus, I also check all other e-mail and those things I don't want, delete them right there. I simply get rid of their junk at the provider, then when I click-on We only receive selected mail.
Kim...........
I want you to know that Pat is only ONE of the "Nuts" in this forum. ;) You know what she's telling you under your picture don't you? She's saying "YOU SPIT" Tsk, tsk, tsk. :D
Actually Pat's a gently soul and only bites when she's off camera. Yep, we have three Llamas and they are gently giants. I've trained them not to spit at me. You see, in the Llama world to spit on another Llams is the greatest insult they can give to another Llama. Soooooo, I simply spit in their face. They turn away, and stand there with their lips curled in total disgust. ;D
Lee, I was just getting ready to ask you about llamas! :D
Yes, I figured out how to take off the "I'm a llama" once I knew it was okay. I didn't know if it was supposed to be there!
I guess I'll be in good company; I'm pretty nuts myself! ;D
Hello everyone!!!
Hope all is going well. I'm actually kinda busy at work, right now, or at least I was.
Sorry I haven't been around much (posting, anyways). I've been reading, etc., just never got around to posting. ::)
I'll try to do better, I promise.
Welcome to all the new members. It is actually quite fun in here, and we have some very interesting discussions.
Happy Anniversary C & M!!!!

Pastoral Ministry: A Shaky Foundation
Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not
the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his
riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands
and knows Me...."
--Jeremiah 9:23-24
It is true that much church activity is thrown back upon a shaky
foundation of psychology and natural talents. It is sad but true that
many a mother-in-law is actually praying that her handsome son-in-law
may be called to preach because "he would have such a marvelous
pulpit presence."
We live in a day when charm is supposed to cover almost the entire
multitude of sins. Charm has taken a great place in religious
expression. I am convinced that our Lord expects us to be tough
enough and cynical enough to recognize all of this that pleases the
unthinking in our churches: the charm stuff, the stage presence in
the pulpit, the golden qualities of voice....
I feel sorry for the church that decides to call a pastor because "his
personality simply sparkles!" I have watched quite a few of those
sparklers through the years. In reality, as every kid knows at Fourth
of July time, sparklers can be an excitement in the neighborhood--but
only for about one minute! Then you are left holding a hot stick that
quickly cools off in your hand. Tragedy in the Church: The Missing
Gifts, 32-33.
"Lord, confirm for each of us as pastors our divine call, that we
might indeed build on a strong foundation. Then bring conviction and
repentance to any in our congregations who are judging us with the
wrong criteria. Amen."
We would like to thank you all for your good wishes on our anniversary.
I had to work today so no chance to go anywhere, but we did enjoy our day out on Saturday, and we enjoyed a meal with some of the kids last night, and also the two big boxes of Belgian chocolates they gave us!!
I had the local flower shop deliver Margit a large bouquet this morning, just like our wedding day one, white, yellow and red roses.
So I'm in good standing today! lol. :)
Thank you all once again, for your kindness.

Hi Jenny!
I am going to be gone for a few hours to get the days stuff done.
Have a good evening/day!
Soni
Glad you figured out how to remove the "llama" comment, Kim!
Lee, you are funny! You spit at your llamas?????
Hope you're having a great day, Chris and Margit!
Soni, thinking about you. ;)
Marilyn and Larry!!!!!
I sure do feel stupid right now. If I have a firewall, I don't know it. If I do have a firewall, where do I find it? Then how do I disable it??? How do you reboot in 'safe' mode?
Anyone else care to answer? Feel free!
Whew!!!
Someone sent me an email with a clickable. It is real neat. You put in lyrics to songs and then sit back and listen.

Good day peoples....
been awhile since i have been here....so sorry bout that...
times have been kinda crazy around here...
so have not been able to come in for my visit...
but have a great day and take care you all.
Paulette
Etta Sue do you have McAfee or Norton that runs a small icon in your task bar at the bottom of your screen> I have an M in mine for McAfee. I right click on the M and a menu comes up that says. Privacy service, Firewall,Virus Scan online, updates. etc. Then I go to firewall and another little menu comes out that has disable or enable on the bottom. If it is disabled it will say enable. Hope that can help you.
Chris & Margit - I appreciate your little post about "sparkling" personalities, etc. One of the Puritans, and I think Spurgeon as well said something like, "If you can avoid going into the pastoral ministry, do so!" If young man thinks he is called to it, he needs to ask himself why. It it's the glamour or excitement, he needs to turn and run fast from that ministry. The gifts of the Spirit are the surest signs of a call, and these must be seen by others, not the candidate himself.

Pat - I hope you are feeling better... having a cold is no fun. Norm's lasted for 2 weeks. He is better now.
something is wrong with my speakers....I'm not able to pick up the hymn you have posted.
Kim: thats a lovely picture of you. You sure are quick to post. I'm sure you will love it here. Check out all the sites in here., including the "In the Kitchen" where losts of really good recipes are printed.
Love.... Judy
Hi Judy! Oh, I sure hope that this doesn't last for 2 weeks!
Hi Paulette! I sure miss you in here each day. Guess the house is buzzing with wedding plans. I miss hearing all the news.
I GOT RID OF ALL THE MUGS!
The little church I used to go to are going to be drinking out of blue and yellow mugs! One of the men are buying them all from me and is picking them up in the morning.
Well, Cornelia and I went to see THE PASSION OF CHRIST this afternoon.
As has been said by others it IS very graphic and extremely violent and bloody. It is hard to watch because of the suffering it depicts and the absolute cruelty which is almost beyond imagination.
I can't say how it might effect other people. I believe this dramatic presentation made the crucifixion more real to me. But seeing it played out in this way isn't something I needed or would have to see for my faith to be what it is.
It may help me when I think of how much Jesus loved me and how much he was willing to suffer to redeem us and save us. But I don't think we should conclude that a graphic presentation like this is necessary for one to understand the gospel and its power to save.
Rom 1:16-17 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." (NIV)
John 20:30-31 Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (NIV)
1 Cor 1:21-24 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. (NIV)
I believe it is great to have a movie like this to tell the story of the crucifixion. But we should remember that long before this movie was made these things were written so we might believe. Long before the movie was made Paul preached the gospel which is God's power to save. And long before the movie it pleased God through what "the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe."
Let's use this movie as well as other helps as we have opportunity but let's remember the power is in the gospel itself.
Jeremy, you asked about my grandchildren who were home schooled, if they went to college. Yes, the two who finished high school with their mother went on to college. My grandson John, is a freshman in college and doing well. My granddaughter, Rebekah, is graduating this May from college.

I have come in from a big day in North Bay. Melaura is learning French prepositions. Boy I am glad I have a friend who understands these things. I have no clue! She has taken a list of prepositions and then translated them into french. What happens next I don't know. Ria She should do this in Dutch too shouldn't she?
Oh BTW, We can praise God for an answer to prayer for Melaura's health!
Well I am shivering, and tired so I am going to bed.
Night all

Today was my work-out day at the athletic club. I try to hit it three days a week. You wouldn't believe the wide variety of weight machines they have, not to mention the individual weights, cardio vascular equipment, i.e., bicycles, treadmills, and other eliptical walkers. Awsome. I'm trying to get in shape for golf. Lord willing.
That's great, Lee. What types of weights are you doing? Troy and I are working with the air machines. Troy also doesn the free weights. I have a tredmill at home so I don't need to use the ones at the club.
hey everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just stopping in to say bye!!!
Love to all!!

Well, feeling a bit down tonight. Guess it's just that I'm not feeling well and then Sandy's little devotional about his father that I've used in the New Every Morning for tomorrow was so meaningful. I thought about Mike attending the funeral of his dear brother. It's so sad to bade farewell to our loved ones on earth. But how precious in the Lord's site is the death of one of His saints! I try to grasp that.
