Christian Photographers Community

JudyB ~ Thanks for asking about my pain when sitting at the computer.  It was in my right arm, elbow and neck.  I did change office chairs, raised it and took some pain meds.  It is all better now.  God is good.  My prayers are with John on his surgery tomorrow and that he is driving that big rig soon.

Papa John ~ Is your early morning service and late morning service the same sermon or different.  Our minister has the same sermon with very little difference.  We have been having 900-1100 at our services since starting 'The 40 Days of Purpose'. So sorry to hear about your young friend.  Cancer....such an ugly word.   Great to see you posting, Papa John.  Tell Cornelia hello from Jerry and I.

Pat ~ You are right......4,000 sq. ft.  I just know Diane and Scott's home is huge....full basement and 2 floors.  But 40,000 sq. ft. is almost as large as our church.  It is 55,000 sq. ft.

Sarah ~ Sounds like you are busy with family, church and basketball.  Keeps you outta trouble...hunh?  No, I am praying that each day brings light into your heart.  

Karma ~ Sorry about your headaches.  I know that can be tiring and wearing you down.  I am fortunate.  If I have a headache...which I feel is not what some experience...I can shut my eyes and make myself totally relax and it goes away.  

Sonja ~ Sounds like you had a great day with family at church yesterday.  Would love to hear Troy sing.  He is shy but singing may take that shyness away at the time.  I am praying that they find nothing with your CT scan.   Ooops!  That didn't sound right.  Nothing abnormal with your CT scan!!!!

WildflowerJoy ~ You painted a funny picture with words.  I am so happy you weren't hurt other than your pride.  But for sure, that would have been a Kodak moment.

Ria ~ Good morning!!!!  Well, it isn't morning there now that it almost noon here.

This evening Jerry, Ivalou and I are going to Tony and Charlene's for Charlene's son's, Kevin's, 21st birthday AND for Thanksgiving dinner.  T and C are going to Conneticut to Audrey's home.  I have already told her to get lots of photos of Donovan...grandson...and I will put them on a .pps file for her.  

Gotta go....Noon here!!!!

Hahahhahahahhahaa....<sigh>....hehehe.  

Thanks Marilyn, Janet and Etta Sue! ((hug))

Everything went alright.  I will find out the results tomorrow or Wednesday.

Pat, I will be gone Thur.-Sat. noon time, is that ok.  I will tell my hubby to drive safe.    We are heading to Billings, Mt.  Mike has a big family and they have rented a church with a gymnasium in it.  Woohooo...basketball and they have a stage too. I am sure Chandraya will find some good uses for that. hehehe...

Well, my goodness!

Will anyone be left around here?  

You're all leaving??

HEY!  You all MUST go to this URL and see this!

IT's UNBELIEVABLE!!!

That is just amazing.  One so young with such talent.  I bet she gets it from Grandma!  Nice choice of frames.  It really adds to the piece.  Grandmas are allowed to spoil their grandkids.

Nards and I are fortunate -- both our families are close to us (within minutes, even).

Hi WildflowerJoy!  Hope you put that comment over in that topic for Abby to see.  I'm sure that Grandma Janet will show her all of the nice comments.

Pat, thanks for the link Kids Explorers
I wish I seen this yesterday I would have saved $20.00.  The boys went to see the Cat and the Hat last night with the church youth group.

The boys didn't care for the movie.  They said it wasn't as funny as they thought it would be.  Sort of a sick dimented humour.

I will save some money today though. Chandraya and I were going to see Brother Bear, but after reading the review, I think i will pass and maybe take her for coffee and a muffin at Perkins.

I will show my kids this site when they get done with their school.

Karma We forgive you for posting in the wrong place. Just don't let it happen again. OK?

Hello all,
Took Margit to airport this morning, she is off to see her mum for ten days,
so if you have any left-overs or if you have made too much soup, send it over ok?
Took an hour and a half to get ten miles, all motorways blocked by crashes it seems, minus 4  this morning and when I got back my van wouldnt start! Cold had got to battery!
Thickest frost for yonks.
Well praise the Lord.

PAT I STAY HOME WE IN HOLLAND WE HAVE NOT THANKSGIVING


ETTA SUE I DON"T NO HOW LATE IT WAS WHERE YOU ARE LIVING AND AT WHAT TIME YOU HAVE WRITEN YOUR MESSAGE  BUT THEN IT WAS 6.10 in Holland.

CHRIS WHEN I HAVE TO MUCH SOUP
THEN I SEND IT TO YOU BUT I AM AFRAID THAT THE SOUP IS COLD WHEN IT IS COMING TO YOU.

I WISH YOU ALL A GOOD AFTERNOON/EVENING  AND ALSO A GOODNIGHT.

I confess ignorance here....  Whatsa yonk??

Thanks Pat.  Where is Iain today?

Church was great yesterday and Sunday School better than great.  The Pastor is teaching the class this time and it is amazing to see the difference that has come over our church since he has become our minister.  I love to close my eyes and just listen to the singing.  So many of the older folks (like me) sit with cold expressions, looking to find fault.  If only they would see the joy on the faces of the younger folks and teenagers while singing, and open their hearts to the moving of the Holy Spirit.  Jesus is all about loving and caring and learning.  Not about self!

Amanda entered a contest for artists to make a banner to represent the large shopping mall in their area.  (Soon to be mine also...)   Over 80 artists competed.  Three of them made banners so good that the judges couldn't make a choice and gave Amanda and two others each $50.00 for their work.  She also made $20.00 for art work in her 4H Club and won three awards for work in that field.  Not bad for one weekend!  I am so proud of her...not for winning, but for having the courage to get out there and try.  Tho' winning isn't bad either, right Janet?

Sonja, I just got a Sony Digital DSC P52 and will have lots of questions for you in '04 if that's okay???  Won't have much time until then.  Surely does look like an interesting hobby and can hardly wait to get started.

Must go and get started on my Christmas baking now.  Trying to get that done before the packing begins.  

Isn't God wonderful?  The older I get, the more clear this has become...

God Bless.

Liz, give Amanda my congratulations!  You're right, it does take courage to put your art work out there to be "judged."   It is almost like having someone criticize your child!  Can you take photos of her efforts and show us?  We'd love to see her work.

Yonks = for a long, long time as in "donkey's years"

Well, I'm not yet on fast access, but the guy who was here "magically" did something to help my screen refresh problem!

So, maybe I can come more often.

Also, there may be a bit of a break in treatment for my son's condition. More later as this develops.

Thanks for your continuing prayers.

Chris: I have made some soup that is sure to warm you up; I guarantee that. Posoli, it is Mexican soup with New Mexico Chile Powder in it. (That's hotter than the  other chili powder; it also has pork and hominy in it.

Liz You must be a very proud grandma too, just like Janet is so proud of Abby.

I feel so much smarter now.  Thank you!

It is good to see everyone today.  

Etta Sue, Chris, our minister, gives the same lesson the early and late worship.  Of course it may be a little different but it is the same lesson.  Give Jerry my best regards.  I hope he is continuing to recover.

It is going to get COLD here in Middle Tennessee tonight, down to 23 degrees.  I think of the homeless on nights like tonight.  All the churches here in Nashville have a program called "Room in the Inn."  Hundreds of homeless are gathered up and brought to church buildings over the city where they get a good hot meal, a warm place to sleep, and breakfast in the morning.  


Matt 25:34-40
34   "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
35   For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
36   I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
37   "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38   When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?
39   When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40   "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
(NIV)

Look who's online right now!

Pat Scott, Heather Brunet, steelerdirtfreak, Al Moak, nards656, pinkie, Papa John

Oh Papa John it is so nice to see the familiar green posts with the scriptures in them. I am so happy you are feeling better.

QuoteLook who's online right now!

And I'm here too.  Guess you didn't see me, Pat.  I haven't been here for yonks, well, donkey years, but I'm here now.

 Well, around here, we will be staying home for Thanksgiving...sort of.  I'll be at the church to help peel vegetables and whatever else before the dinner there at 1.  And then I think, (I haven't mentioned this to you Jane....haha)....but I think we'll just have dinner here at my house.  It will just be Kim, Angel, and Jane if she still wants to come.  She knows I change my mind a lot. Are you listening, friend across town??

   I bought a turkey breast today.  That'll be enough for the 4 of us.  My grandaughter, Angel, called after school, and I told her "I bought the cutest little thing today....all soft and small."  She thought of a new kitty or puppy. haha   NOT!  I finally told her what it was..a thawed turkey breast.  

Janet the painting that your grandaughter did is wonderful!  Did you know she had that gift?  Were you surprised?  I'm very impressed.  I know it just thrills your heart to have her follow in your artistic giftings.

  Liz, yes, I wish you could post some of Amanda's paintings for us to see.  I'd really like that.

  Papa John, I feel the same when the weather gets cold, or it's storming hard.  I think of the homeless.   I'm so grateful that we have some residences and emergency stay overs here.  I know that some don't want to be inside where they will be enclosed with other people that close, but some will stay.   Oh how they need to know the Lord and how absolutely precious they are to Him.  Oh, how I hate what drugs and alcohol can do to a person!  

   Marilyn, you are having Thanksgiving dinner with Al and Marbeth?  That's so neat.   Be sure and take those pictures for us.

   Karmat, that was really funny posting that friendly bit of info in DPC. HAHA   Were you able to delete?  

  Sonja,  I hope your sweet little head is perfect.......well, the reports anyway.  I hope they find lots of brains and dancing cells and other wonderful stuff... but nothing bad.

  Gotta go look for dinner.  I might be back later......try to catch Pat slamming the door.

Man...this dial-up is for the birds.  I had a real nice post all typed up and I got an unsolicited call and and got bumped offline and then lost the whole post.  Story of my life these days.  I was telling you guys about moving and losing my ability to get DSL and in the process of going to dial-up I lost my identity and along with my identity I lost my whole yahoo address book and my email address.  I have updated my profile so anybody who wants to can contact me.  
Tomorrow I am leaving for a mission trip to Mexico.  I was wondering if I could get some prayer covering for the trip from the group?  I have some specific areas of prayer which I will post here, and then just pray as the Holy Spirit leads.  If you get anything while you are praying for me...please share it with me after December 2nd or send it as a private message.  Here is the prayer:
Prayer for Mexico trip...
Pray for safe journey...that none of the vehicles will break down, that God will station His angles ahead and behind us.
That there will be smooth passage through customs and that we will have the GREEN LIGHT for ALL vehicles when we cross the border.
That there will be NO illness amongst the 'troops'
That our strength will be sufficient and our endurance great.
That our minds will be sharp - even when we are tired.  
That the Lord will grant us sweet sleep when we do get to lay our heads down at the end of the day.
No scorpion SIGHTINGS!  much less stings.  We take authority over every living and creeping thing.  
Pray for MIRACLES, and divine appointments.
That we will be able to push back the darkness with the light of the Gospel which we bring.  That we TAKE GROUND for the Kingdom.  

As I said, I will leave tomorrow and will be back LATE December 1st !  
Thanks you guys!

steelerdirtfreak, that's an interesting name you have there!  Is it because your a "steeler" fan in football?  Being up here in Canada, I'm not too sure of what teams there are down in the states.  Are you from the USA?

Hi Pat,

Thanks for the welcome. The name comes from my love for the Steelers (football team) and Dirt Track Racing. My wife and I are track chaplins at a local track and we travel to many big dirt track races around the mid-Atlantic area. I also do a lot of photography work at the races, and that is how I found this group. I was doing a google, looking for Christian photographers, and y'all showed up on the list!

Anyways, I look forward to getting to know y'all. I have a couple of web sites that tell a little more about who I am:
www.steelerdirtfreak.com
www.justifiedbygrace.com

And I have recently begun exploring digatal art as a way of worshipping our Father. I'm still learning as I go on that, and am hoping I can learn from some here.

Peace,
Paul
