Christian Photographers Community

I just clicked on the CALENDAR[/b] button above and I see that two of our members are having birthdays this month!

Do you have your birthday listed in your profile???

[/font]

Be sure to check out the books that Karmat has offered to us today.  It looks like some really good Christian reading.

It is a little late in the morning for me to get here but better late than never.  I enjoyed reading the devotional as well as all the posts and I will not try to respond to all the posts.  We are already on page three and it isn't noon yet.

I will give a welcome to Marilyn's friend CAMIE.  WELCOME!

The story of the prodigal son is so sad up to the point where he went back home.  He wasted the bounty he had received from his father.  He was rebellious and selfish.  Often we may look at our lives and see some of his qualities and when that happens we need to repent because God loves us and will receive us with open arms.  When we see the father running to greet his son we see the happy ending except for the other brother who had stayed at home.  We don't want to be prodigals when he was away from his father..  We don't want to be like the other brother who stayed at home and had no love for his brother and who was self righteous.  END OF SERMON.

My back is feeling much better today.  Maybe by the time I have the MRI it will be OK again.

Mieka,  you can see that you are one of our favorites here.  You are our youngest member and I think maybe I am the oldest.  I always enjoy your posts.

I hope you all have a great day.  It is beautiful here today with a low of 62 and a high of 85 and late today we may have a shower or two.

Etta Sue, I liked your quotation.  We have all kinds of weather.  I like May better than February.

--- Papa John      

Pat: I went back to the home page and voted on the 2 nd icon. Thanks for the reminder.

 Ms Etta Sue
Mieka ~ I just love your posts.  When I read your posts, you even have a Chinese accent...

I learn to write my English in a special school in China. I know it is not so good yet. Sometimes I look back at my words and I wonder what I said so I hope you will forgive me and help me when I make a mistakes.

Captain John
Mieka,  you can see that you are one of our favorites here.  You are our youngest member and I think maybe I am the oldest.

Mr John you are my treasure. It has always been my wish to one day have the wisdom as you have, that only comes with age. I wish for you many more years of good health.

Ms Janet
I pray for both you and ms Beth. I hope she is ok.


Ms Pat... a Guelph is still a very funny name for a town, yes?  

Hello LettyB
(is it Ms LettyB?) it is very nice to meet you, I am Mieka.

Letty, it's great to see you posting.  We get some who come and register and then they never post!      I hope you just go and have a great time looking at the photographs.  We have many and you can comment wherever you wish.

Now, I've put a fresh pot of coffee on so pour yourself one and pull up a chair and join right in.  The conversation is just great in here!

WELCOME LETTYB

We are so glad you came to join us. Pull up a chair and tell us about yourself. where do you live and about your family. We are a bunch of people who love the Lord with all our hearts. We welcome your fellowship.

Marilyn

Victor Oliver is in court today a week early. He was scheduled for May 7, but when Peggy called last night to make an appointment for a visgt they told her he was going to court today. Ater choir practice tonight I will let you know what it was all about.

Marilyn

Please pray the All of the truth will come out and that those things he is innocent of will be brought to light.

Welcome LettyB
Glad to see you posting so soon.  We can't wait to get to know you.  Please feel free to post whenever.

Welcome Cami and LettyB!

I'm Karmat, the well-behaved member of the group!

Since when are you well behaved Karma. LOL Rotfl
You are a nut.

Karma: I found out that I am going to have to use my own computer to dowload the photos from the new camera The computer is set up for a USB port but does not have one. Ask Nards if I can just use a USB converter.

The new camera will be here in about 2 weeks and I don't want to install my software on someone elsews computer.

Marilyn

Gosh, there are 45 posts already, I don't think I am going to be able to reply to each one and I don't like leaving people out.

I must welcome our latest member LettyB.  It is so good to see you posting, but always remember that when certain people say they are well behaved, there is always another side to the coin

I've had a useless day today.  I tried to do a hundred and one things and managed only to finish the one thing.  There must be a spiritual lesson for us there somewhere.

It's good to see so many people posting today and nice that the talk is centred on the Lord.

See you all later.

Anthony.

    Good day to all of you here today....it is nice and warm here today...a little on the wet side but am thankful for the rain..we need it very much.

Anthony....I know exactly how you feel when you set out to do a hundred things and only accomplish one....it seems....but the Lord had other things in mind for you to accomplish today ...so just rest in that and do not worry bout it.....God has you in His heart and hand.... take care brother.

well I just wanted to thank you all for praying for me and sympathizing with me..over my aunt's death....my mom and sister are  doing well and everything is settled and going well....my poor aunt though was not a believer and I fear I will not get to see her in heaven.....oh my heart aches.....

well am off now...talk to you later. take care and God bless you all.
Paulette.

I have a question for you allllll!!!

Do you have a dvd player?  
I just bought one and need help hooking it up. I am normally a wise at this stuff but I tried two different ways to hook it up and none of them worked.  Do I need a special cord or something?  grrr....help!!!!!!

Sonja, I had to get one of my grandsons to hook up my DVD player!  So I'm afraid I'm no help at all.

WELCOME, CAMI!!  WELCOME, LETTYB!!  We all hope you will be come regular posters here!  We love to visit and fellowship together, and sometimes tease one another.  It's a fun place to gather.

Beth and I just got home from seeing her doctor.  It is Bell's Palsy that she has now.  They put her on three more prescriptions, and said it may clear up in 3 to 4 weeks, but could last as long as four months.  Poor Beth--when she smiles, her mouth goes clear over on one side of her face!  So we really hope it goes away very soon.

We are going to Hugoton tonight to a Women's Aglow meeting.  Some people we know will be there, and we know these people know how to pray in faith for healing.  Beth needs to be immersed in prayer, praise and worship, and this is a wonderful time for that.  I am missing another event I had planned to attend, but this is far more important.

It's great to see so many posts today!

I have just spent the las hour looking u p the ocupations of the 12 tribes of Israel and thier flags on the internet and printing up about 35 pages of information for Inez. She asks me the most in depth questions, and wants me to find the info for her. It is very educational for me to. I couldn't even begin to be as well versed in the Bible as she is.

LETTYB!!We visit every day.  We talk about our children, grandchildren, local politics, aches and pains, sorrows, triumphs.  We discuss the Sunday sermon, our reading of scripture, a new book that touched or troubled us.  We post photographs.  We sing.  We laugh a lot.  Sometimes we cry.  We make an effort to listen intently.

Our visits to CP is our holy time.  As we read each others posts and look at each others pictures, we posts our thoughts, hopes, and fears to each other and to God.  Our posts are a manifestation of Christ in the world.  Being part of the Body of Christ is not a private walk with Jesus; it is two or three people gathered together with Christ in their midst.  When we show compassion or 'listen' with love, we are expressing Christ.  We are being the church in the world.  Even though we aren't perfect and we don't have all the right answers, we experience Christs's presence in these times together.

Who needs someone to listen???!!!

Whew!  I talked to Jerry in IM and he said he would come over and help me mow the yard.  Then it rained.  A light rain.  He got here and we went to Noblesville for lunch.  When we got back, we each got on a mower and my grass is mowed.  I did some weed-eating while he filled the tanks and did some maintenance on the mowers since both of them are being contrary in starting this year.  BUT the yard is mowed for another 5 days!

There were predictions of thunder storms this afternoon but they aren't here yet.

I wanted to mention that today is the 52nd annual National Day of Prayer here in the U.S.  There is a website at www.nationaldayofprayer.org  if you would like to check it out.  Beth and I listened to the program as we drove, and it was really good.

It is so refreshing to have a President who knows the Lord and knows He is the one Who holds our future.  He freely admits his dependence on God.

Well, I'm just about to leave for the Guelph Hiking Trail Club executive meeting so please keep the home fires burning while I'm gone!

Get lots of new folks in here this evening.

Goodnight, Anthony!

Good evening everyone!

[size=45WELCOME CAMI AND LETTYB!!!!][/size]

It's good to see so many people posting.  God bless you all.  Jen.

Welcome Cami and Letty B!
You have come to a tremendous place.  I am so in awe of the excellent  knowledge of the bible that comes from so many - Pat S., Anthony, Papa John, Marilyn, Larry, .Etta Sue, Jerry, .....too many to list and forgive me for not naming everyone.

We drove to Cheyenne today so Don could have a CT scan of his lungs at the Veteran's Hospital.  Gas was a terrific price of $1.21 a gallon so we did fill the tank.  After a late breakfast, we stopped at a restraunt and the waited told us that the group of women meeting there were wild and crazy - it was a women's group from the local Baptist church!  They were fun!  

Janet:  Our oldest son once had Bell's Palsy and it did not last too long - he even had to take an interview and explain what had happened but got the job just so you know that it usually goes away fairly quickly.  Best wishes to Beth.  

Carol

  This is the most sad words I have today
ms Tenderheart. ....my poor aunt though was not a believer and I fear I will not get to see her in heaven.....

How can it be that this kind God can walk away from one that he loves, who did not undarstand his wish.

Slow are the steps of repentance, but swift are the feet of forgiveness.

I have so many friends who do not know there is a God at all. Can they not have a repentance in heaven for that which they did not know as wrong? There are so many in far away places who are not allow to talk of God.  How can it be that they can not go to this heaven?

tenderheart~(I love that name!)... and MIEKA~ We can never know the depths to which God will go for any of us.  He never wastes a moment, and even a nanosecond can be all He needs to speak to/reveal Himself to a person's spirit.  Even when we think the person is "out of it", unconscious, in a coma, whatever terminology one wants to use, GOD can be there.  I believe there will be a lot of surprises in heaven.  I would never choose to believe a person is totally lost for that reason.  We don't know how or what God did in that last fleeting moment before death.

I hold to that for a lot of people I have known.

Good question Mieka!  I often wonder that myself. I try to teach or tell the people I know that do not know God about him and what they need to do to be saved.

I figured out how to work the dvd player.  

Zachery and I went to the old folks home and he wanted to volunteer to bring food to some of the elders who still live in an apartment, but they said he is to young.  He has to wait till he gets 13.  He is thinking of a way he can help these folks.  They usually get the meals brought to them by a nurse, but since they aren't getting paid for it they aren't going to do it anymore beginning May 12.
Do any of you have any ideas?  It would sure help.
Thanks Sonja

"And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children."
Isaiah 54:13

They will be taught, yes? but perhaps in heaven?
I want everyone to get to go to heaven
