Christian Photographers Community

Hi everyone.  Rich reading here this morning with those fine devotional thoughts.  This is like having a sermon everyday and it helps me stay focused.

Last evening we had a special "Healing and Wholeness" service.  Our minister and one of the Elders prayed individually for our needs and concerns and layed on hands and anoited with oil.  It was a very meaningful and special service.  

Nita, Happy Birthday and hope you have a great celebration this evening with family members and Jane.

Lee, thanks for telling us a bit about yourself.  You have had a very interesting and useful life and it sounds like you are truly enjoying your retirement even if you are working harder for no money.  At least it is doing what you want to do.  What did you do in Hollywood?

Pat, sorry to read about you slipping and falling last night.  I know you sure didn't need that but am thankful that you weren't seriously hurt.

Welcome Dezo!

Ruthie, congratulations on becoming a full member here on CP.  

Maryland, that is some story you shared.  Sort of gives one goosebumps as you read.

Etta Sue, as you know I have been a part of SeniorNet since the website began.  That is over 7 years at this point.  However, I only participate in a few discussions as it takes so much time to try to follow a large number of them.  When it started there were only a few discussions and it has really grown.  Pat, Jeanne Lee and several others were active there from the beginning as well.  

Karmat, I take it that the little one likes those Cheerios!  They have been my favorite about all my life but have given up cereal due to the high carbs.

Good to see Sonifo, Jenny, Mieka, and Ria posting today as well as those mentioned above.  Hope everyone has a great day.

Etta Sue I am also on SN. Mars and Venus, Animals, fins, and furry friends, Manna for the soul, geographic communities california etc.

I am off to work shortly and have a Doctor appointment this afternoon for the results of all those blood tests that were taken over the last 3 weeks.

Larry I am glad you enjoyed what I posted about the car accident.

Pat, you better be more careful or Geordie will be pulling you  back into the house after a terrible fall. Be careful sister we Love you.

Gotta go now TTYL

[size=8]HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NITA!!!!!!!!!!!![/size][/color]

Do you realize it's been almost ten years since we met on SN?  Wow, time does go by, doesn't it.

My, oh, my , so many postings already today.

Happy, Happy Birthday Nita.

Enjoy the day the LORD has made for you!!!

Janie, give Nita a birthday hug from all of us.

Yes, Al, time does fly; doesn't it.

SN was a great place to meet some of you dear folks.

I started on SN and didn't know how to post when Pat took me under her wing..
Then the good LORD directed me to Religion forums---this little babe in the bible learned so very much from gifted people like Al and Lee.

I was blessed to read Jack's posting which made me feel so very much in love with my friend, Jesus.
We are so fortunate to have Pat posting some of his writings here.

Nita saw my hunger and thirst for more knowledge of the One who created me and died for my sins and her loving words about HIS love just made me love HIM more.

Lee,do keep coming by--thank you for the kind words.

Oh, how I love these wonderful people; can't you just feel their geniune love for the LORD??

I try to post as often as I can but we are staying three and a half days in Jersey and the rest of the time in Penna. (I do not have internet in Penna.)

I enjoy my walks with my doggie along our creek which goes into the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. And with the deer walking along side of us; well, it just is so peaceful and perfect time for my quiet time with the LORD.

So I will be checking out the prayer forums and of course the latest recipes in the kitchen and then off I go to Penna.

Will talk to you later, if I get a chance.

Love in Christ,

Joyce

Time IS flying for you, Al MoaK!!!  It's only been SIX years!  HAHAHAHA!  Well, maybe that's "almost 10".

Joyce, you MUST get internet access in PA!  You simply must!  Also, we would just love to see photos of that little creek. And your doggie too!

How about it?

7.45 p.m.

LARRY
Now I am going to say Hello to YOU.  You and I seem to pass as ships in  the night.  I may seem not to notice you but I do and I read the postings, sometimes in the early morning over here.  I know when you are off to the "Boys" coffee mornings Larry. I am glad you received the Holy Anointing Oil....a sign of His Holy Spirit. May you receive the Healing for which you are praying...In Jesus Name. Amen!

MARILYN  I am praying that all will go well re the blood tests.  Let us know soon please....HOPE IT'S NOTHING EXPENSIVE.

ETTA SUE. Yes I did S.N. Book Discussions and Religions but I haven't for ages.  I do know dear Lee though.  He was a blessing to me. An encourager.  A true Believer

PAT  Best Wishes for the Elections.  Take care on the way home...SLEEP WELL TONIGHT ALSO GEORDIE.

Tomorrow Chris is going to get me a Digi camera....Don't know if I can use it.  Will try.
I went to Blakesley Hall.  The old Elizabethan Manor this afternoon and took some pictures......It sure was a cold and wet day...

Good night and God Bless all,
Jenny.

Pat I am surprised at you digging up Rosemary! ! ! I thought she was still in N. Ireland!  Especially at 2:00 in the morning!  Mind you she may have been up and going?

Jenny that is a beautiful Picture of you.

Way to go Ruthie.

Lee it is good to meet you.  I do love L.A.  Spent may weeks (not years) driving to Montebello and overnights in truck stops.


Well more teaching to do.  Bye for now

Bye RIA

I've posted this in Have You Prayed, but in case some don't check there, I thought I'd repeat here.  

I've just spoken to Cornelia.  Papa John is making progress, although he is understandably in a lot of pain today.  He sat up for about and hour and had some beef broth and some jello, so the nausea he was having seems to be under control.  

Jeanne Lee how are you doing that such nice cards
for birthday's and welcome also Pat
Ria

Ria, we make the cards with special graphics programs.  We both have PaintShopPro (so does Etta Sue) and I also have Phogoshop Elements, which is the only one I can use on my Mac computer.

Good afternoone.  I finally got the trabman ot take a nap.  wow.  I had given him some m&m's today as a snack (along with goldfish, pears, pizza, water, milk and sprite), then my little sister came in and had brought him some more.  <karmats head was spinning around around around>  He is a bottomless pit sometimes.  

It seems as if all is going well this evening.  I'm glad to read Papa John is eating something, though admittedly hospital broth and Jello leaves a lot to be desired.  Perhaps they are motivating him to get better quicker or something.

Take care and I'll try to get back in this evening

karmat

PS == Hahahahahaha, I foiled my computer.  Just as I got ready to post, it booted me of the net.  BUT, I was able to copy and save this post.  Muhahahahahhahahahaha.

My painting ladies have gone home, so here I am again!  It is pretty cool here today, I'm chilly with a sweatshirt on!

Jenny-----what a lovely photo of you!  Now we can see you when we talk to you.  Like I said, doesn't God have good looking kids??

I need to see about finding something for supper.  Laters!

Hi again!  The Women's Ministry group met at my home this afternoon and it was GREAT!!  I had a balloon bouquet and a gift and card for Nita, and others brought cards and a lady brought a cheesecake and put candles on it and we sang happy birthday to Nita!  Every one said how much more they enjoyed meeting in my home instead of at the church.  I have been feeling for a long time that the Lord had something like this in mind for me, but the timing just didn't seem right.  I have remained "restfully available" and all the pieces began lining up rather quickly lately.  This is going to be a good thing, I believe.  Of course, I like it 'cause I don't have to "go" any where!    I shared some things that I have written and we had a good discussion before enjoying our tea/coffee and cheesecake.  In a little while I am to meet with Nita and her family for dinner.  Maybe I'd better start toward getting ready.  

JENNY~  I love seeing your picture under your name!!!  That's great!  What a smile!

Y'all take care, and I'll try to get back here later tonight and "report" on the rest of Nita's birthday!

Jenny.

Tell Leslie that you know a guy in the States who's life has been on the same track as his.  Not too different at all.  Tell him that as police officers we had  a partner who protected us during our shift (On duty), but there has always been a partner who protects us 24-hours a day, and that's the Lord. Tell him that this old "Duffer" was too proud and too macho to admit I needed him.   Also tell him (Leslie) that I recognize it's easy to place your trust in a partner you can see every day, and that the Lord isn't one we can see with our eyes, but we can see Him with our heart.  Also tell him that as MEN we like to be in control, but if we admit it and are honest with ourselves, we can readily see that we are not at all in full control.  I can share with this guy (Your dad) because "I've been there, done that."

Jaywalker.

Me too my friend.  BTW dear lady, if you're still "Jaywalking" you need a ticket.

Ria.

Even if you have to go in debt, buy a Thermopedic pillow.  Vivian says she believes that's the name for it.  I'm sure you've seen it advertised.  It's foam with an indentation in the center.  Another way of explaining it is that it looks like an ocean wave.  Vivian and I always had sore necks until we stopped punching pillows and bought a couple of them.  Sure hope your neck gets better.

Iain.........

My secret: I have a good cook.  Vivian keeps me on a Mediterranean diet.   The ladies in this forum will be quick to agree with me that a healthy and handsome dog like you will last many a year.

Our funning aside Iain, we both are "Looking up", and that means we want to leave this place.

I have a question for you good sir.  Since you mentioned Joshua (Which was an excelent post), I ask this question.  Did Jesus Christ ever hold an actual sword in His hand?  Not a trick question.  The answer can be found in Joshua.  A hint...."Remove your shoes"

Sonja........

Thank you lovely lady.  My remaining is strickly in the Lord's hands.  Isn't it neat we have that assurance?
BTW, my absolute favorite hymn is "Blessed Assurance".  

Etta Sue........

Nothing like the wind blowing in your face.  See the knats?

Yes, I know him well. Mark is a friend of mine.  The trial made Mark the guilty one, and the butcher O.J. went free.

There are many reitired police and firefighters here in north idaho, and I belong to an organization where we have over a hundred retired police and firefighters who meet once a month.  Our wives meet in another room where they have lunch and chat.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NITA


Love Ruthie

Ruthie...........

"The Last shall be first, and the first shall be last."
BUT. We both shall meet Him at the exact same time.  Right?

Welcome Dezo....

I'm just as new here as you are, and I'm overwhelmed with the loving posts from these dear brothers and sisters in the Lord.  This place is a taste of heaven.  All love.

What a nice thing to say, Lee.  A taste of heaven it is indeed - but such a teeny tiny taste.  I'm looking forward to the whole buffet.  

Hello everyone . I am finally home from the Doctor's office. My blood tests were all normal except for cholesterol. It is up again to 246 and she put me on Lipitor for a short time to get it back down.  

The only other thing was that I seem to have a balance problem. I couldn't keep my balance when asked to walk a straight line by putting one foot in front of the other heel to toe. I would never pass a drunk test. Ha Ha.

It is so good to see so many posts here today. Lee you have really been busy posting. Good show ole boy.

Going to read the prayer forum now.  Glad Papa John is at lest up and around a little bit. But his diet is atrocious.

ttyl

Watch that cholesterol, Marilyn.  Mine's never been really high, but I started eating oatmeal and Cheerios for breakfast - didn't change anything else - and it came down quite a bit.  Have you noticed any balance problems before?  

Larry.........

In Los Angeles the movie industry shoots hundreds of films and Commercials almost daily.  The city of L.A. will not allow them to shoot without LAPD motor officers sattioned at each location.  As an example, the movie "Dark Man" had 70 motor officers on site.  I worked as a Movie Cop (Uniform and Police Motorcycle)  We rode alongside the film car, the car being filmed (With actors), rode ahead and stopped vehicles from entering the streets that would stop the filming.  We kept pedestrian traffic from getting to near the filming.

I was fortunate to have been selected to be the primary person in three commercials (They paid us very well for this).  The industry also used motor officers riding in films and commercials.  They pay was unbelievable.  BUT, I got sick of it, and made the decision to retire.

Here's something for you to look for.  Watch in a car commercial where you will see the streets are always wet.  They call in a water truck to spray water on the streets and sidewalks to enhanch the filming affects.  They even hang leaves on trees, or spread them about the street so the passing film cars wind blows the leaves about the street.  It was normal to work eighteen hours a day.  I eventually learned to have a very bad taste in my heart and mouth for actors.  You and I learned to overcome pride, but these folks are trapped in self love and an enormous amount of pride in self.  I must say I admire Arnold Swartsenegger for his admission of having committed several things he wishes he hadn't done.  When I was in the industry Arnold didn't have a very good name with we cops.  Arnold was a very self loving, cigar strutting, proud man.  In all my years in the business, this guy is the absolute first I've ever seen to admit he did bad things.  This attitude expresses Christians who recognize their faults.   No, he isn't, and he needs our prayers.  But by the grace of our Lord, there go we.
