Dear sister Jane...........

So now you have two heart monitors, right?  One Spiritual and the other electronic.


Having recently returned from  my trip I know I'll not be able to catch-up on all the gab and important posts, so please frogive me if I appear to be slighting an inportant post.

Dear sister Pat.........

I went to your photo of Jack's monument and was awe struck at it's message.  Returning to a grave site is good for the ole heart as it provides a release for our emotions  that are expresed by springing into tears, accompanied by life long cherished memories.  We all know they are not there.  Neat huh?  And yet, our Lord will return, the graves will open, and  they (we) will, in the twinkling of an eye,  be with Him forever.  That's His solomn promise.

It's nice to see you back posting again, Lee.  I hope you had a wonderful trip.  Have you seen that your photo was posted?  What lovely great grandchildren they are too!

Sister Pat.........

Yes mam, and thnk you.  We were posting at the same time.  Read two above.

Awww...  thanks Lee! (You were using that Modify button again!)    I had read already the post before you added to it.  Guess that's a real problem in this type of forum.  That's how we miss stuff.

Anyway, thanks.  Glad you like the photo.  I haven't shown it on CP yet as it's in a contest on DPC right now.

My trip.  I left Saturday morning early and flew t Burbank Calif.  Changed planes in Oakland.  It was impossible for me to pass through the metal detectors, even if I were walking in just my shorts.  My metal knee set it screaming, and when they ushered me into a stall the fella checked me with the wand.  I was surprised when it sang the halls of montazuma when he passed by my chest.  I have approximately 25 staples inside my chest from my heart surgery.

Oops, gotta go, company just arrived.  TBC

Thought for Today -  "May all the members of our Armed Forces be ever 'remembered' and all the fallen members, who made the ultimate sacrifice never be 'forgotten."

and the ever popular mammography.

Joyce...on the subject of mammograms I thought you might enjoy this:
 
Mammogram
MANY WOMEN ARE AFRAID OF THEIR FIRST MAMMOGRAM, BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY.  

BY TAKING A FEW MINUTES EACH DAY FOR A WEEK PRECEDING THE EXAM
AND DOING THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES, YOU WILL BE TOTALLY PREPARED
FOR THE TEST AND BEST OF ALL, YOU CAN DO THESE SIMPLE EXERCISES RIGHT IN YOUR HOME.

EXERCISE ONE:

OPEN YOUR REFRIGERATOR DOOR AND INSERT ONE BREAST IN DOOR. SHUT AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND LEAN ON THE DOOR FOR GOOD MEASURE.  HOLD THAT POSITION FOR FIVE SECONDS.  REPEAT AGAIN IN CASE THE FIRST TIME WASN'T EFFECTIVE ENOUGH.

EXERCISE TWO:

VISIT YOUR GARAGE AT 3AM WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CEMENT FLOOR IS JUST PERFECT.  TAKE OFF ALL YOUR CLOTHES AND LIE COMFORTABLY ON THE FLOOR WITH ONE BREAST WEDGED UNDER THE REAR TIRE OF THE CAR.  ASK A FRIEND TO SLOWLY BACK THE CAR UP UNTIL YOUR BREAST IS SUFFICIENTLY FLATTENED AND CHILLED.  TURN OVER AND REPEAT WITH THE OTHER BREAST.

EXERCISE THREE:

FREEZE TWO METAL BOOKENDS OVER NIGHT.  STRIP TO THE WAIST.  INVITE A STRANGER INTO THE ROOM.  PRESS THE BOOKENDS AGAINST ONE OF YOUR BREASTS.  SMASH THE BOOKENDS TOGETHER AS HARD AS YOU CAN.  SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE STRANGER TO MEET NEXT YEAR AND DO IT AGAIN.

YOU ARE NOW TOTALLY PREPARED!

Well, I've installed dial-up service until the DSL can be installed at the new apartment.  So I'm back!  The move went smoothly - now I just have to hang all my pictures - well, maybe not ALL!  And find a place for everything!  But it's coming along.  
Keep praying for me a job.
I posted a few pictures in the photo section after a long hiatus...  And commented on a few as well.    You guys are so prolific it's difficult to keep up with all the comments and photos!
Have a great evening!
Shalom..

She is very scared.

Enjoyed the devotional and the tour Pat.  Posted in the other spot...I didn't go downtown to attend the parade or service. Understand the Legion used our Sr. Ctre. to give a breakfast for people participating.  

Went carpet bowling and enjoyed the afternoon.  Lost both games and had our tailfeathers royally whipped.  Some days are like that!!

We have a Christian paper that comes out once a month here on the island.  It covers subjects about what is happening worldwide, as well as on the island.  Noted that James Dobson may go into the political field in order to defend family values.  Talks about the possiblility of other Christian leaders doing the same.  www.Crosswalk.com

Was very discouraged about what is happening to the Bishops and priests in the Anglican faith, as they do battle for their stand against the church's new ruling.  Some are being suspended and one church is actually being terminated.  Nigeria and Australia are also facing the same treatment as they fight the same battle.  Certainly all people have the right to practise their beliefs.  That should include Christians.  We ought to have the right to take a principled stand.  That is not preaching hatred, merely acting on our beliefs.

Enough said.  God Bless and Pleasant Dreams.  Liz.

Gene and I are both kid-filled tonight.  First his oldest son called from North Carolina, just to wish him "Happy Veterans Day" (took about an hour to accomplish that), then I called my #2 in Arizona and took almost an hour to wish him a Happy Birthday.

Gene's oldest grandson is in Vancouver studying for his Masters Degree in Christian Education, and my Arizona grandson (6' 2" - 18 years old) is getting ready to join the Army.

Altogether a pretty satisfying evening.

Came back for a moment to give the site in case any of you want to check out our paper.

God Bless.

Feeling Frustrated tonight---

I am a little frustrated tonight-I took the kids to the Homeschool skate and everything was going fine until-Lindsey was tripped while skatting-during the process a little kid tripped over her-the little boy went over to the DJ and told him that she pushed him-so the DJ told her to apolagize-she proceeded to go to the parents and him and say she was sorry-she came to me in tears and said that she was trying to apolagize and they kept yelling at her-so she walked away. At the end, the Mother came up to me and said what happened and I said that she told me that she was tripped-the Mother said well she retaliated at the wrong person and the least she could do is apolagize?? I didn't say anymore and I just told the gal I would talk with her-which I did, she is adament that she didn't push the little kid that he tripped over her--she did apolagize and she said they kept yelling-I didn't make her apolagize anymore-do you think I should of? Courtney said she was behind her and that is what happened too-Anyway it just frustrated me that the people wouldn't accept her apolagies..
Rachelle

Okay enough of me-lol

Joyce-thank you for the welcome-Im pretty new here-I think I arrived about a month ago-Im not sure-But, everyone here is very loving and encouraging..

RIA-I know your pain-I lost my Dad December 29-99-Zachary was only 11 months old-It was a hard thing to go through-He was in surgery for a small tumor on his colon which he wouldn't of needed to have anymore surgery..the 2nd day after the surgery he went into resportory failure-because it was to late he suffered servere brain damage-he laid there for 20 days on those machines before the fight was over-It was so hard on Mom-she was in denial thinking he would come out of it-(this time of the year is hard for me too)6 months after Dad-my Mother suffered a stroke and another one that took her life too-sadly she died the same way he did-My parents never walked with the Lord, but at the end we felt the peace that they were with him. During, all of this time my husbands only brother had a 3rd brain tumor surgery and was failing-he passed 6 months after my Mother..This was a very hard time, but with the Lord he gave us strength to go on-I think the hardest thing is my children miss there grandma and grandpa-they don't get to see their other grandpa much-which bothers them-but, God will supply..
I just want you to know that I know how you feel and what your going through-the pain is hard-but Jesus loves you RIA and will carry you through-As he has for My Family.
May the Lord comfort you during this time..
Marilyn-I will also be praying for your neice-
Praise-my daughter Lindsey made 56 dollars on ebay selling her dolls-so now she can buy herself her guinia pig lol.
Hugs to all of you-
Rachelle

Hi Jeanne,
So, glad that you had a wonderful night with being able to talk with your children-they are wonderful blessings ..
Rachelle

 

Pinkie You are too funny! ! ! ! !

Rachelle.  I understand the situation you are in.  My mother had a saying that creates peace.  "Appologise for the situation."  There was a lady she worked with, that would walk into a room and if someone was in trouble she would say "I did it , now what did I do this time"  Everyone would then say what happened and she would say "Well I am sorry It won't happen again."  There was nothing left to say.  This ended all the problems.  I tell my girls that even if they have done nothing wrong they can be sorry for the situation, and appologise.

Yes Marilyn I am remembering your neice.  For wisdom for the doctors and that someone can be the tool to draw her back to the Lord.

Hey Lee did they send you back because the metal detectors went nutz?  Or did you complete your trip?  I hope you took your camera too?

Well Melaura can't sleep again.  I am going  to go and send her to bed and hit the sack as well.

Good Morning RIA and Jenny.  I pray the sun is shining in Holland and the British Isles for both of you today.

Good night
Love Judy

Hi Judy B.
Lindsey did apolagise for the sittuation-after the DJ told her to apolagize she went up to the parents and apolagized-they would not accept it-that is when she came to me and told me(in tears )what happened and that they kept yelling at her about it.
Right before we were getting ready to leave the gal came up to me and said the least she could do was apolagize-she had already..I wasn't going to make her do that again.
Rachelle

Just dropping in to say hello before heading off to bed.  

November 11 is a day of reflection, my father-in-love was a Veteran and it was a time in his life that he never was anxious to talk about, by times he would share some of the funny things but the serious almost never, his personal pain and suffering was enough.

I have been busy doing a lot of little things like going to a craft show or two, being invited out for dinner which is lovely but the time does come when I would like to remain home and get the home things done.  Got another call this evening and I guess we will be on the road again this week-end.

I will try to drop by tomorrow evening to catch up on all the reading I have missed.  

Ruth

Sister Judy........

They put me in the cargo hold.  Yep, I took it along and Pat entered it in photos.


My trip..........

Had to change planes in Oakland, Calif.  I sat with a black lady who lived in Northridge.  She was reading a 'Cultic" book.  I caught her eye and we chatted for a while, and then I brought out the book I had brought with me.  Dave Hunt's book on the Cults.  I made certain she read the title.  Just prior to landing I tld her that I really missed one major thing in the Valley (San Fernando Valley), and she asked me what it was.  I told her that I used to attend a very large church in Sun Valley (Near Sepulveda).  I lamented over how great the pastor was and that he taught the Word of God as it was written, that he was loving, and regardless of it's size, you had the feeling he was talking to you directly.  I waxed eloquent on the choir and the multiple groups that sung, and especially Jubalent Sikes, a black singer who sings hymns in the old Negro spiritual way.  Her eyes lighted-up and she asked what the name of the church was, and I told her it was "Grace Community Church".  I then told her she wouldn't have any trouble remembering the name because all she had to do was remember that she is a graceful lady, so the other word to remember was Community.  She smiled broadly and told me she would remember it.

We're only messengers, right?

The occasion for my trip was a surprise birthday party for my oldest daughter Dian (Who turned 50).  I was exceptionally elated because I was able to hold each of my five G-grandchildren.

The trip back was very long and very tiring.  2-hrs to Oakland.  2-hrs to Seattle.  1-hr to Spokane, and a 2-hr drive home.  I call being so tired after a long trip as being "Jet lag".  IT isn't but the affects are the same.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to a Christian lady from Burbank to Oakland.  We became friends immediately, and we shared our hearts with one another.  She's in a 'Warm fuzzy" church, where the pastor sanctions elder sins and refuses to use Scriptural chastizement.  I told her she should leave the church and NOT attempt to rescue anyone.  She said she had been entertaining doing just that, but couldn't make the decision to do it, but now recognized she had to go.

Let's enter a new hymn.  If no one gets it tonight (Within the hour), I'll extend it to tomorrow.

THis is the TITLE of a hymn.......

"M_____ J______, I L_______ T______"

Im not sure if this is Right Lee-
My Jesus I love Thee

oooooooooooops didn't mean to make that scroll lol.

I'm back from the Veteran's Day bean feed.  The food was good, but I was sorely disappointed that they didn't even ask the veterans present to stand, or anything!!  The program honored the American Legion baseball team, the Girls State delegates, the Boys State Delegates, and left the veterans out!!  I don't mind the others being recognized, but after all, this is Veteran's Day!!

That's just tacky, if you ask me.

Rachelle, She did all she could do.  Unfortunately, there are some adults in this world who act more childish than the most spoiled child.      It's kinda like a case in our town right now where a cardiologist was coaching a little league baseball team.  Two of the team members got in a fight and he broke it up.  The mother of one of the boys mothers pressed charges and he was charged with felony assault.  She admitted that she didn't even see the incident, and they settled out of court, but it was absurd.  Is it any wonder our young people walk around in a state of bewilderment?  There are no sane adults (except present company, of course).  hahaha  Seriously though, Rachelle, this seems a case where your daughter did what she could.  If the other parent's didn't accept it, so be it.  She can sleep easy tonight.

I hope all of you all have a wonderful night/morning.  I will be around for a few more minutes, then I think I will go to bed.  (what a concept, huh?)

Karmat

Thank You-I just talked with her (Lindsey) and told her that she did do all she could do-and that she apolagized but sometimes people just have a hard time accepting an apolagy. I told her I was proud of her for trying..
That is to bad about what happened in your town.  
Hugs
Rachelle

Racjelle I 'm sorry I didn't read your post correctly.  I am sorry, I do agree she did all she could.  Sounds like the problem was with them and something they have to work through.

Lee, I guess the same My Jesus I Love Thee.

Sounds like quite a trip.  Did you ever listen to KKLA in LA?  I loved to as we were driving.

One of these days Ruth you will have to drop in up here and stay the weekend.  (The weekend of the 22nd John will be gone!)  

Well Mel is still awake and bouncing and I am going to sleep here.  I am going to send her to bed with a book I think and go to bed to sleep myself.

Night all
Love JudyB

   Ruth I like your new picture!

Love JudyB

I am headed of to bed after I post my picture that took 63rd on DPC.  

I will be back on tomorrow morning to visit with all you early birds.

I'm really late tonight.

I had company drop in.  I was doing my Avon order and then at about 11 pm, I thought I'd maybe enter another photo into the Book Titles challenge on DPC so rush, rush at that!  

Tomorrow, I won't be around all day till late tomorrow evening as Judy McKenna and I are going to the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.  I'm looking forward to that very much.

I'll drop in in the morning and say "Cheerio" to you all and hopefully, you'll have a great day chatting while I'm gone.

Here's a link to tomorrow's/today's topic!
