Born Again!
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
(John 3:3)
Born again. Do you know what Jesus had in mind when He said those two words to Nicodemus? He was talking covenant talk. He was telling Nicodemus what it meant to have a covenant with God.
Let me paint the picture I believe was in Jesus' mind. Imagine a baby, a little baby born of an unwed mother. No one knows who its daddy is and no one wants to know. He is a child that nobody wants. He doesn't belong to anyone.
Now, picture the best kind of family you can think of. A family that loves God. The man has a good job. They're blessed financially. They're givers and lovers of people, and they fall in love with this baby. Before long, they adopt it.
What's happened? That baby was reborn. He got a new set of parents. Through adoption, he has now become an heir. Why? Not because of anything the baby has done. Those parents didn't say, "I want you to look at that baby. I'm so impressed with all that child has done for us. He has certainly earned our love and respect."
No, it's a baby. It couldn't have done anything to earn its new life. This man and this woman agreed together out of the love in their hearts and bestowed grace on that child. Now he has access to everything they have. When they offer him a bottle, he doesn't knock the bottle away and say, "I'm so humble and undeserving. Just give me water."
Of course not. That baby acts like part of the family--and not just part of the family but the best part of the family. Because in Jesus' day a covenant or adopted child had the same birthright as the firstborn son.
That's what Jesus was talking about when He said, "You must be born again." He was talking about grace. He was talking about a new relationship of favor. A new family. A new authority. A new power.
If you feel unworthy to receive the rich blessings God has for you today, think about that. Meditate on it, so instead of worrying about and struggling with the needs in your life, you can just walk boldly into the throne room of your Father and receive help to get those needs met.
Discover what it really means to be a blood-bought child of Almighty God with a big brother like Jesus. Discover what it means to be born again!
Scripture Study: John 3:1-8
Janet I am printing off the devotional, and I will read it thoroughly tomorrow.
Marilyn That low rumble was with Jake more of a purr, that is if dogs can purr. Our neighbour has a rotti called Dexter. He has that low rumbly growl too, especially when he is getting his back scratched. Dexter has really made up for the loss of Jake. Some day I will get another rotti, but it will be a coupple of years.
Pat. About that shelf. Is AL right that your snoring move things? I know who an I to talk. How many nights have john and I kept you awake with our snoring? Do you need help with the shelf? I will call you tomorrow.
We are not long home from small group. We are studying the book of John. It is so good to have such wonderful fellowship over God's word.
Pat I have been thinking of Judy NcKenna. Is she well? Are they away? If you are talking to her Pat tell her I was asking.
It is late and we are tired.
Night all and good morning.
JudyB
Good Morning Everyone!
I'm so happy, Janet, that I'm born again! Thanks!
Thanks to all of you who visit the "Introduce Yourself" area and post a welcome to our new members. It's encouraging to them. Thanks!
Well, it's a lovely day here. I have a BIG job though trying to figure out my closet! (The closet is as wide as my bedroom)!
As I was just leaving, I glanced over to the left to read today's verse and it's such a good one!
Today's Verse
------------------------------------------
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:1-2
Dogs (rots or other wise) that bark don't bother me too much. It's those big dogs that sit and watch you as you walk/ride past. I'd much rather have a barking dog facing me. That seems to indicate that it just wants to scare me away. The silent stalkers mean business . .
Now, my little sister's dog is a big dog in little skin, or at least he thinks he is. His name is Prince Jag (sort for Jaguar), but in reality it should be Napolean (Kristi calls him BarkBark). He's a dachshund and barks ALL the freakin' time.
Gotta go work on some pictures. Back later!
Good morning everyone! I hope you get your closet situation fixed up Pat! The big do-it-yourself stores here have real lightweight easy to assemble closet orginizer sets. Maybe you should measure the space and check out something like that? If I was there I'd just pop over with some tools and fix you right up! :thumbsup:
Good morning: What a great devotional this morning Janet.
Karma I agree with you on the big silent dogs. I see a lot of dogs on my walks, There are some really sweet Pit Bulls just around the corner they run back and forth along their fence wanting to play. The are from champion stock and have been well trained to be nice dogs. there is that great big Airedale that we met yesterday as she was walking her owner on a leash She is friendly too didn't even bark at us.
I am going to work at Jan's today I have been praying that she is much better today. She was so weak and drained yesterday when I went there to take her some things she needed. When I called last night to check on her her voice was very weak and the meds sill had not taken effect.
Got to go fix my breakfast.

I got my modem for DSL yesterday. I read the instructions and worked on it this morning. I got it installed and was really feeling good until it said I should have 4 lights lit up on the modem. I had only two. So I called the Support Tech. Seems the phone company has to come to my house tomorrow and put in a splitter! Hope he isn't late because tomorrow is Red Hat Day! So I am back to slow dial up for today!
The seminar for George Lepp was great. He talked about Canon and Photo Shop....didn't even mention Sony and Paint Shop Pro....which is what I have and use! :'( But he gave some very good ideas. Showed us a lot of panorama photos and explained how to make them with Photo Shop. How to use different layers with multiple photos. For instance, a mountain in the back ground with mountains in the foreground. Take two photos...focus on the background mountain in one and another focusing on the foreground mountain. Must use a tripod because you want these photos to be identical except the focusing. Then you put one photo layer over the other and erase! Voila! You have a photo with great focus in the foreground as well as in the background!
But again, my photography is for self-gratification...I am not wanting to be a professional!!
I have to mow the yard this afternoon and then tonight Ivalou and I are going to a Band Concert. Her grandson is in the 5th grade and it is their Spring Concert! I went last fall so I am sure they have improved even though last fall they were great! (^)^(^)(^)^(^)(^)^(^)(^)^(^)(^)^(^)(^)^(^)(^)^(^)(^)^(

yes, our heavenly birth was wholly God's doing, not ours. We deserved only everlasting wrath, but He gave us everlasting love and grace! The deservedness is Christ's, but the wondrous blessing is ours! As the hymn writer said, "How can it be that I should gain and interest in the Savior's Blood? Would He devote that sacred Head for such a worm as I?"
Wow Etta Sue! What an oppourtunity to learn from George Lepp! It sounds like you had fun. Thank you for posting that tip here too! I'll have to try that! :thumbsup:
Al you seemed to be starting to sing.
And Can It Be
that I should gain.......... Pat or Al how about some music!!!
Hey Judy, how about a funny!
"Dear Paul the Apostle: We received your application for service under our missions board. Frankly we're amazed you've been able to pass as a missionary. Here's why: (1) We're told that you're afflicted with eye trouble. We require 20/20 vision. (2) We hear that you have to make tents on the side to support yourself. How come? (3) Is it true that you have a prison record? Think how this would reflect on our organization. (4) It's reported from Ephesus that you made so much trouble for the local business community there, that they refer to you as the man who "turned the world upside down." We deplore sensationalism in ministry. (5) You refer to yourself as "Paul the aged." Our new pension policies don't anticipate a surplus of elderly recipients. (6) Doctor Luke, the physician, reports that you are a frail little man, frequently sick, and always so agitated over your churches that you sleep very poorly. He indicates that you pad around the house praying half the night. Our ideal applicant has a clear mind and a robust body. We believe that a good night's sleep will give you zest and zip so that you will wake up full of zing. So, we regret to inform you, Brother Paul, that in all our experience we've never met a candidate so opposite to the requirements of our board. If we should accept you, we would be breaking every principle of current missionary practice. Signed, Most surely, J. Flavius Fluffyhead, Secretary, Foreign Missions Board."
Hi Pat and Everyone:
I'm at work and sneaking a post. I went to a new doctor today. She's a medical doctor that believes in natural remedies. I hope she's not new age. Some of the literature might indicate it. We will see.
Hope you're all well. God Bless
Love Ruthie
P.S. Will vote later ;D ;D ;D
Hello folks!
Well, I've been trying to work away at my closet but making not much headway! :lol: So I went off to Canadian Tire and bought a round table like Ruthie has for my deck! It will be delivered before the weekend.
I wonder where all of you are?
Have you had a nice day?
I have been cleaning the office/living room vacuuming the couch and washing the quilt I keep on it for the dogs to lay on. I was going to do the bedrom too, but I am tired now and need to relax awhile, I will do the bedroom tomorrow aftrnoon after I get home.
Jane is feeling much beter she had some real food today. ;) instead of broth and jello.

Hey Y'all, here's a link to a new photo:
http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7343/615/1600/Living%20room.0.jpg
I couldn't put it here 'cause it's too wide! ;D I used my "Stitching" program to put 12 shots of my living room together. Just thought i would share! :thumbsup:
Nice living room, Ritz. Do you play the guitar?
Ritz - the first time I saw that one about Paul's application to the missionary board it was addressed in a way that amused me a lot. It was addressed to "The Reverend Saul Paul." I love that whole thing, except that there might just be too much truth in it - sometimes missions boards are really like that.
There have been some really nice photos uploaded lately. Take a look before hitting the hay!
:thumbsup2: OUR GALLERY (http://www.christianphotographers.com/gallery/index.php) :thumbsup2:

Nice work on stitching those photos together Ritz.
I have been over in the gallery checking out Jims photos. There are some great photos that have been uploaded of the Pacific Northwest.

Hi everyone. Pat and I went with our senior's group from our town to the Georgia Acquarium, which is the world's largest acquarium. It is truly magnificent. I was worried about the crowds but they handle the people very well as the areas are large and the viewing areas are spectacular. I have never seen so many fish in my life. We had two buses come to take us but the second bus had mechanical failure so the first load went down (which we were on) and then it came back and got the second group. We left around 9 am and got back about 2:30. I took a lot of photos and I hope they will turn our well. Quite frankly I am so tired tonight, even after taking a nap when I got home, that I am just going to say goodnight and get a good nights sleep. See everyone tomorrow.
Hi, friends, it was a quiet day at work, so I enjoyed reading as a guest while on the job. Never fear, the deadlines will be tight again, so this is just the calm before the storm. ;)
I visited the ear doctor today, who reminded me to keep water out of the ear, but otherwise, unless a problem develops, I'm not to see him for 9 months to a year.
For that I'm very grateful. Now - to see the dentist early tomorrow morning!
Ruth Ann
Pat I just got in and I read your post that you bought a round table....... How does that "fix" your closet problem?
I have read all the posts. Looks liker eveeryone had an enjoyable day.
I have a lot to get accomplished, so I am off for now.
God Bless

It doesn't
It gave me a change of mood!
Ruth Ann!
It's soooooooo good to see you. I've been so concerned wondering where you were. Or maybe I just missed you.
We'll have to have another chat soon.
Luvya
LarryI'm so sorry that you are so tired. Please try to get rested and do nothing till you feel better! <3
Hi, I am back from the Band Concert. But my g-nephew informed me it was 6th graders, not 5th graders. I remember last fall that they would play a half a dozen notes and that was a song. This evening was very entertaining and I recognized all the songs. The kids really liked playing 'Star Wars'. You could tell they practiced a lot and it was very good. This was the first year they had Band every day of school and you could tell it was worth it. The kids were so well behaved also....and so proud.
I got caught up with my TV programs. Then searched one more time for a DC cord for my GPS in my car. I have a windshield mount that has the cord but I am looking for what I used before I got the windshield mount. Can't find it anywhere!!
My computility room looks a mess because I have it tore up when I was installing the DSL...then had to stop for the phone man. I am assuming he needs to get to the jack so I left everything in the middle of the floor. But the fur effect that I had behind the computer desk is no longer there!! (Car fur!)
Time for beddy-bye!! G'night!
We are just in from an exhausting day in Amarillo. MORE bad news. Can't Beth ever get any GOOD news? I have to take her back to Amarillo and check her into the hospital for extensive tests on Monday; they said probably for a week, or at least several days.
I will tell you more about it tomorrow. Right now, I'm headed to bed, with a prayer that I will actually be able to sleep a whole night for a change.
Hello folks,
Please forgive...
But I'm going to just change the date to tomorrow along with Janet's NEM as I've been on the phone tonight with Katie Sturtz' son and the news (for those of you on SeniorNet) isn't good and I can't think of doing the devotional for New Every Morning tonight.
I'm sorry.
I was planning on going up to Traverse City, Michigan with my daughter to see her one more time to witness to her but I guess it's too late.
I'll chat with you tomorrow.
Love
Pat
Pat, at times like these, we can pray that seeds you have sown grew when you didn't know it.
Janet -- I'm so sorry about Beth. I am praying that you ahve a restful night tonight.
Pat and Janet ... I am so sorry to read each of your posts. This is indeed one of those times when we say "in times like these" ... and lean heavily on Jesus' breast for comfort and strength. In times like these we have to trust Him and not ourselves ... we have to know, as Karma has said, that whatever seed has been sown will take root and that our dear loving heavenly Father knows exactly how to make all things work together for good ...
Janet, I know you have a heavy heart and are so weary ... Have a good night's rest and awaken refreshed to a new day.
Same for you, Pat.
I'm praying ... for Beth; for Janet; for Pat; for Katie and her family ... and for all concerned and touched by these lives.
Janet: So sorry to read that Beth has such a difficult road in this life. It just has to change someday.
Pat: I am going over to SN to check on the latest news on Katie - I wish that you could see and talk with her.
Jane: Your post says it all.
Carol
Good Morning friends.
Thanks.
I've not heard anything new from the family.
I didn't sleep much last night but that was time for my Father and I to communicate.
Praying too for you, Janet.
I've got some errands to do so I best shake a leg here.

I am all dressed up Red Hat style and waiting for the telephone man to come and do his thing so when I get back home, I can have DSL. Hurry up and wait!! :clobber:
Janet, I am praying for you and Beth!
Pat, I thought about Katie and prayed while trying to go to sleep last evening. We were both praying.
Lots to do today after I get back. May be back today, may not. Pat, let me know if you can't do what I asked. I will understand!

Gripped,
Kevin
Janet I am praying for Beth and for you. Pat I am praying for Katie's family.
I can't thnk of anythig to say right now so I will come back later on and post something.
MMMMmmm, Kevin! That does look yummy!
Thank you, Karma, Jane, Etta Sue, Pat and Carol, for remembering us in prayer. In times like these.......it is indeed precious to know dear brothers and sisters in Christ are lifting us up in prayer. There are SO many needs, all around us---never a lack of things for which to be praying! A little baby in our congregation was taken to the hospital with a fever of 107 degrees, and the soft spot on her head was bulging. Last night we had a message from Pastor saying she had taken a turn for the worse; the diagnosis is viral menningitis. :'(
Pat, I'm so sorry Katie has gotten worse; I was also praying that you would have another opportunity to witness to her. But as Karma said, you did plant seeds, and it is our prayer those seeds have sprouted and Katie has realized her need for the Savior. (((hugs)))
Well.......are you ready for the next installment in the saga of Beth's struggle with Neurofibromatosis? :( Dr. Usala was shocked at her decline. And for the first time, Beth heard herself described by the ugly word "paraplegic." He still thinks she may have thyroid cancer; and says she has a tumor on her pitituary gland. He ordered blood tests, another sonogram of her thyroid, and another MRI of the brain.
Then we went to Dr. Cone's office where we SAT and SAT and....well, you know......for over FOUR hours! :P He, too was shocked at her decline. He looked at the two sets of MRI films we had brought, said he found more stenosis in her neck and middle back, two more herniated discs, lots of neurofibromas in the spinal column, none of which should be causing the degree of disability she has. So he wants her in the hospital for extensive tests, and will get all of her doctors, plus maybe some new ones, to collaborate on her condition. He said "We need more information." He also told her "You are never easy, Beth."
So, Monday at about 11 AM she will check into BSA Hospital and start the next chapter........... :'( Oh, how I dread it. :(
Today is our ladies' luncheon which happens once a month. I will take Beth, as we are eating at Alejandro's, her favorite Mexican place.
I finally got to sleep sometime between 3 and 4 this morning. I am getting more and more weary, and the tears are lurking just below the surface. Jesus, please help me.
I will come back later, and I promise to be more cheerful, or else not say anything! :) 8) :cool:
Thanks, Marilyn...........we were posting at the same time.
Janet, I am praying for you and Beth. Nothing that you are going through is in vain. God will draw you closer, and Beth closer to Himself.
In His Grip,
Kevin
Hi everyone.
So sorry to read these reports regarding Beth and now about a SeniorNet friend, Katie Sturtz, who I so remember as a very vibrant person.
Pat, did the sowing in Katie's life and now we have to depend on the fact that the Holy Spirit has been working in her life. She has had several days to face her mortality and perhaps she has sought Jesus as her savior. Put this in God's hands and try not to worry beyond the concern that is natural for a good friend in such a sitation.
Janet, I just don't have words to express my concern for Beth and also for you as you walk this difficult path. This terrible disease she has had so long has really played havoc with her body. It is obvious that you all have done and continue to do everything possible to make her life as tolerable as possible. Don't be afraid to cry if this helps relieve your own emotional pain and, by all means, confide in your minister and your good friend. You know that your many friends here on SN are praying for this terrible situation and are concerned about you both.
Jim, I was happy to read that things have turned around for you.
I am still pretty tired from our excursion yesterday but did have a good night's sleep and should be fine by tomorrow. Fortunately I don't have anything on my schedule today other than choir tonight, which I always find refreshing.
Our daughter was asked by a friend of hers to go with her to see the doctor. She hadn't been feeling well for a couple of weeks. She was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and the doctor told her that she probably doesn't have more than 6 months more to live. She is 42 years old and has never smoked and has tried to follow a healthy life style. My daughter is emotionally wrecked with this news and could only tell me about it in tears.
Our daughter found out last week that she has staph infection on one of her legs. She has been taking anti-biotics but the lesions are looking worse everyday. So she has to go back to the doctor today for a sensitivity culture. She also has a severe kidney infection but can't start to treat that because it requires a different anti-biotic and wouldn't work with what she has been taking. Obviously she isn't feeling very good but it trying to keep up with her college class.
Etta Sue, hope they get you all setup with the DSL today. Now don't forget to go to bed tonight. You are going to be delighted with the much faster speed on the Internet.
Ruth Ann, glad to see you postings and happy that you got good news.
I know there are many others I should comment to today but am going to ask your forbearance and just say that I have read all the postings. I will try to do better tomorrow.
I am so very sorry to read about Beth and now Larry's daughter.
Larry - Janet : Your loads are far too heavy. Let the Lord be your guide in every moment of every day. All I can say is that someone who loves the Lord is praying for you and your families.
Pat: Oh, no - you need to sleep. I hope this doesn't start another group of bad nights for you.
Take care.
Carol

We Shall Behold Him (http://christianphotographers.com/sounds/weshallbeholdhim2.mid)
(Click to hear music)
Words and Music by Dottie Rambo
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
The sky shall unfold, preparing His entrance;
The stars shall applaud Him with thunders of praise.
The sweet light in His eyes shall enhance those a waiting,
And we shall behold Him then face to face.
Chorus
And we shall behold Him, we shall behold Him
Face to face in all of His glory;
And we shall behold Him, Yes, we shall behold Him
Face to face, our Saviour and Lord.
The angels shall sound the shout of His coming,
The sleeping shall rise from their slumbering place.
And those who remain shall be changed in a moment,
And we shall behold Him then face to face.
Chorus
And we shall behold Him, we shall behold Him
Face to face in all of His glory;
And we shall behold Him, Yes, we shall behold Him
Face to face, our Saviour and Lord.
We shall behold Him, our Saviour and Lord.

May I ask you all to please help welcoming our new folks in the Introductions area?
http://www.christianphotographers.com/community/index.php?board=42.0
Just scroll down the list and post a welcome. Sometimes, you only need to say "Welcome" but it's all part of making our new folks feel part of our community.
Some of you are doing this and for that I thank you so very much.

Gripped,

Mmmmmmmm!
I am praying for three daughters of our CP brothers and sisters, Beth, Wendy and Larry's Daughter. Please include my DIL arah with these ladies as she has MS and We are praying for a miracle. She graduates from Nursing school Saturday.
I am sooo sorry for not responding to some posts :'( I was just noodleing around a found some I never saw! I always click on "Unread Posts", and "Unread Replies", but appearently they don't all come up. Or I suppose I could just be missing them. :-\
Yes, Pat, I do play guitar. I love that missions aplication reply too Al, and you are correct...there may be too much truth in it.
Marilyn, Thanks for the compliment. I was amazed at how easy it was! Litterally one click! :thumbsup:
I will be praying for all of you, my brothers and sisters in Christ too! ;)
Just to let any who knew Katie Sturtz, she died this morning.
I am saddened to hear about the death of Katie S. I met her along with some others of you in Atlanta some years ago. She was active in SeniorNet.
Thanks for the happy birthday wishes. I have had a good day. Some of our grand children came in with a big birthday balloon and a birthday cake and sang happy birthday to their old grandfather, now 79 years old.
Papa John
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DEAR PAPA JOHN!! YOU ARE NOW 79 YEARS YOUNG! I hope you enjoy many more years with your lovely family. My mother in law is nearing 95, and my own Mom will be 90 this month.......so you are young, compared to them. ;)
Pat, I'm so sorry to hear about Katie. I just pray she turned to the Lord before she passed over.
Larry, my heart goes out to you and Pat........and your dear daughter. I do know that it is so difficult, and my prayers are with you.
I decided I have come to the end of my strength, so saw my (and Beth's) doctor today. He prescribed a sleeping aid for me, and talked to me and Darrel about possible plans for Beth. He told me I can no longer care for her alone....in his words, "You're DONE." So, after the Amarillo thing is over, we will be facing very difficult decisions here. :'(
And, before I start :'( again, I will wish you a pleasant evening, and see what I might do around here. I'm trying not to take a nap, to improve my chances of sleeping tonight.
Ohsuch sdaness today. I fell sort of overwhelmed.
I have been out to take the each for thier walk. Went over to Jan's to take her some more Broth and Jello.
I was going to clean my bedroom today but I reall don't feel like it. We have "Master's Commision" coming to our church tonight to give a presentation. I 'm not sure but I thinkl that is an A/G thing.
Later y-al
Happy Birthday Papa John!
Janet, I will continue to pray for you durring this time of trial.
Larry, for your family as well!
If I have forgotten anyone I appologize, I do however; pray for all "My Brothers and Sisters in Christ" daily.
Peace to Y'all! And happy shooting!
Thank you so much Ritz.
It's so much appreciated by all of us to know that you are praying. Where would we be without our Saviour?
Janet, I'm glad you spoke to the doctor. We'll chat when you're free.
Well, it was a light day at work again today. The dentist said, see you in 6 months. Now two more doctors this week. I grinned and told my boss it's spring tuneup time!
Thanks for the welcomes home. You know I love y'all.
Stresses have sometimes lately been overwhelming - possibly our Lord knew I needed a break at work, anyway, whether or not I get a break at home.

Brian's mother couldn't help but keep noticing how beautiful Brian's
roommate, Stephanie, was. Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a
relationship between Brian and Stephanie, and this had only made her
more
curious
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two react, she
started to
wonder if there was more between Brian and Stephanie than met the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, "I know what you must be
thinking, but I assure you Stephanie and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Stephanie came to Brian saying, "Ever since your
mother
came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy
ladle. !
You don't suppose she took it, do you?" Brian said,
"Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure.
So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Mom:
I'm not saying that you "did" take the gravy ladle from the house,
I'm not saying that you "did not" take the gravy ladle.
But the fact remaing is that
one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Brian
Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that
read:
Dear Son:
I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Stephanie, I'm not saying that
you "do not" sleep with Stephanie.
But the fact remains that if Stephanie is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom
