Christian Photographers Community

 

Kitty and I had a great time photographing even though her camera wasn't working.  Seems she is going to have to take her year old Canon to a camera shop to see what is wrong! 

I did put 4 photos in the October Challenge in The Gallery if you would like to go take a look-see! 

Early in the morning, Ivalou, Kaye Don, Barb and I are going to go out for breakfast for Barb's birthday...which isn't until November 17th but they are leaving for Florida November 6th.  So I need to rush and make her a card.  Whoooosh!  I am outta here!!

Janet, what a time you had at the eye doctor.  I don't think I have any cateracts growing for which I'm very happy.  So sorry that you had to go through all that.

Glad you're going to have some "girl time" with our Abby.


Glad you had some skating time with Mum, Teresa Dawn.  That's so special.  Does she skate well?


Ruth Ann, my hair might be grey under what my hairdresser puts on but only she knows for sure!   


Hey Al Moak~!  I'll look up and see if I have a recipe for you.  I bet you'll get lots of them! 

Glad you enjoyed Jesus Loves Me for Seniors, Vernon!   

Well, I've been doing my Avon order all day and other things...  Running errands, etc.

Must finish my Avon order now.

Hi Etta Sue!

I had that post above sitting for a couple of hours and never got it posted.  So I've posted it in today's topic.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Night Night.

Hello everyone!!!

Anthony, hope you are feeling better, and yes, my Mary Kay is the same one Marilyn was referring to.

Speaking of, I don't think I ever commented.  That was a big difference in the before and after Marilyn.  I hope you had a good time!

Tomorrow's adventure includes a trip to Grandfather Mountain (home of the mile high swinging bridge -- ughh, I'm terrified of heights).  Hopefully, they will have soem fall color there.  everything here is just as green as can be.  The leaves are falling, but they are green. 

Hope everyone has/had a good night.

Laters!

Well, I am off to bed now.  Almost half gone eleven here. Night everyone (and morning if it's morning

God Bless,
Tersea Dawn

Hi all.  I enjoyed the posts today.  Again, I'm just stopping in before going to bed.  I'm the only one up.

Rene spent the day with Jim's family.  His mother is hosting family from all over, so this gave her a chance to get to know them.  She was stronger today.  She wanted to drive herself, so she did.   I worried that she might be driving and her mind go in another direction.......that happens after a loss like hers.....but she said she did ok.  I see her inner strength, strength she doesn't believe she has.  It's there.  I know God is holding her and giving her His strength.

Now......off to the gallery.  I want to see Marilyn's before and after photos.

Hey there, Nita!  You are absolutely right about God giving Rene His strength ... I'm glad she is making these steps back toward a new life.  She is strong because of Him, y'know. 

Actually, the only strength any of us have is Jesus living in and through us.  Let the weak say I am strong ... so true.

ok, I thought karma mentioned Marilyn's before and after (Mary Kaye makeover).  I couldn't find the photos in your gallery, Marilyn.  Are they there?

I'll look tomorrow.  I'm off for bed now.

ps:  Hi, Jane.    You are so right.  He is our only Strength.

Nita ... Marilyn's photos are in her gallery as well as the Photography forum

Check out Joy's latest photos, too, while you're there.   

Good morning everyone.  The devotional made a very good point this morning.  How important it is to fellowship with other believers.  We can be encouraged in so many different ways - reading of scripture, words of a hymn, someone's testimony and of course the ministry of the word.  Thank God for brothers and sisters in the Lord.

I had a better night's sleep last night, so feeling somewhat better.  I trust everyone has a blessed day today.

God bless,

Anthony.

My oh my, it is 6:30 and look at the replies!   

Thank you for the devotional today Etta Sue!  I love to go to church to learn and fellowship.  it is so hard when I am not able to attend,

I am seeing Melaura off to school as she gets on the bus at 7:25, so she leaves tbe house at 7:15.  Lots of time to freeze her little bottom off.  (Her words not mine!)

Kassie wants a shower today so she is getting up in a minutes.  This is an every other day thing with her. It is hard to believe she is nearly 11, they grow up so fast.  Elizabeth prefirs a bath at night.

I will be back
love Judy

Good Morning I love going to church. Thanks Etta sue for the devotional today. Very good wrds for all of us.

Thank you Karma for the compliments on my makeover. I do like mary Kay cosemetics.

Yesterday after I came home from work I lay dawn rested for  about 1 1/2 hours and then slept very well last night.

I called Al yesterday and gave him a recipe for Tuna Loaf.

My next door neighbor brought over a big bouquet of Lillies for me and  a couple of pigs ears for the dogs. Did  tell y-all that already yesterday?

Going to town again today this time I am taking Jan to the Mall shopping and to Costco then out to lunch. We are going to a famous Hot Dog Joint in Henderson Center.

Hello Once Again friends ...

Well it is a busy day for me as I've a JOB INTERVIEW in about 1 hr. so do keep it in prayer & I'll update when I get home so I've to say GOOD BYE already so ... I'll be back soon !! 

Sorry I've missed for the last two days.  Seems like because of a lot of little projects  I don't get to spend as much computer time as I would like.

I went to the doctor Tuesday and got the prescription for some new glasses after my cataract surgery.  Then we went to the glasses place which says "Get your glasses in one hour."  So we arranged to get a new lens.  The lady said it would be a week or ten days before it comes back.  I said, "What about your advertisement that you can get your glasses in one hour?"  She said, "That's not for glasses which are bi-focal." 

Col 3:12  Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and, patience.  (NIV)

Tonight we are going to a concert, at church, "An Evening with Anthony Burger."   The brochure says:  "One of gospel music's premier musicians, Anthony Burger delivers more than Christian entertainment to listeners.  Today, Anthony channels all the knowledge and skill he learned from classical piano into a wide range of other styles." 

Papa John             

Pat:  Now that is a different "Jesus Loves Me"....

Marilyn:  I think Don goes into a trance when we get near Harbour Freight.  ....

Anthony:  I read your Italy Blog and it is very interesting.  The history of Italy is on the Blog as well and that is something we did not learn in school.  It is good to see you here again.

Papa John:  We had the same thing happen years ago in a quick eyeglass place & they must be so cheerful when they tell the customer that it can't be done in the time stated on the door.  I hope your glasses come back really good for you. 

Janet:  I am not sure what RK eye surgery could be.  I was told last year that cataracts were just beginning to form and I would love to be without glasses ever again so am looking for the latest in eye surgery about a year from now. Also was told that people with blue eyes, and mine are light blue, are much more suseptible to cataracts. 

Gotta go - have another lesson in Quicken, from Don.

Job interview has come & gone.  So, things went well so thee person that did the interview said that she would contact me the end of next week so ... we will have to think postive thoughts all week till next week so we will see.  She asked what sort of job I'd want & I told her HOSTESS so we will see what happens & I'll keep you all posted !!

 

Hi Everyone...

Got my Avon order done last night with about 2 minutes to spare before I'd be penalized for submitting it late!    

Then couldn't sleep well so now I'm going to have a nap. 

I'll talk to you later.

Here's an oldie with lovely words.  How about reading them carefully and seeing if you agree with them. 

Hi everyone, I've just finished my tea so I thought I would pop on and read the posts.  I made Chicken Chasseur tonight and enjoyed it very much 

Judy, it's good to hear your children enjoy bathing.  My neice once told me that she doesn't have time to wash her feet while she goes to school.  She just washes them on the weekend.  The mind boggles 

Marilyn, I'm glad that you are able to call Al up.  Are you both close to each other?  I can't get my head round the tuna loaf.  Is it really a loaf made out of tuna fish?  I  just can't imagine it    I hope you had a good day shopping.

Papa John, it's good to see you post today.  I went into an optician that displayed an advert outside boasting of glasses being ready in 2 hours, but when I enquired I was informed that one optician was off sick today and they would be ready in a fortnight 

Carol, thanks for popping onto to see the blog.  The site that hosts the blog is a really good idea for a Christian community.

TBear, my prayers are with you as you await the news about the job.  The bible does say that if we ask anything accordance to His will, He will grant it to us.  God knows what He is doing.

Pat, I'm glad you got your Avon order done on time.  I don't know how you manage to fit everything into one day.  I am sorry about the lack of sleep.  You're not having too much coffee are you?  I've been having decaf' lately.  It seems to suit me better. (Thanks for the hymn too - wonderful words of encouragement.)

God bless all and thanks again for the fellowship.

Anthony.

Hi there eveyone, I hope you all have a great day.

There is a song that is going through my mind the hole day. I don't know all the excact words, but it goes like this:

"At the cross at the cross where I first saw the light and the burdens of my heart rolled away.........."

I anyone knows the words please post them. It will be fantastic.

Vernon.

This has been quite a day.  I have had a sinus headache all last night and today, it has finally gone.

I have been having computer problems.  It seems Outlook is being fickle again.  I hit send on emails and it sends anywhere from 1 to 6 times the same email.   I have had a couple of curt responses because of this.  Anyone have any ideas as to why this happens?

Kassie has been off school for three days.  She has a pile of catching up to do.  Melaura needs the computer for a school project.  So I am off here and will be back later.

Love to all

Judy

Vernon, the song is, "Alas and Did My Savior Bleed?"

Alas! and did my Savior bleed? 
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a one as I?

Chorus:
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day

There are four other verses.

Papa John          <)))><<   

Anthony Al and I live just about 10 minutes apart. maybe 2 miles maybe less.

I thnk that is 1 km. Isn't a km 2.2.miles

A KM is 1.16 miles.  I would love to live that close to Pastor Al.

Homework assignment is done and the 'puter is mine again.

Papa John that hymn has brought back memories of church as a child.  Pat I wonder if you could put the words and music up for us to sing along.  I am already singing, I wonder how many verses I remember?

Hi everyone.

Vernon, we have the hymn you were looking for in our hymn library so I posted it for you above.  It is a great old hymn.

I have had a very busy day after having a down day yesterday.  I had to leave coffee at the cafe early to get to the County Senior Center to coach a class in Microsoft Word that started at 9 am.  It wasn't over until 11 am.  I then stopped at the library to pick up a couple of items Pat had requested, the grocery store for a few items and then it was noon before I got home.  I then went with Pat to the church where she was meeting her quilting group to work on putting on the backing for some lap quilts they have made that they will be giving to someone who needs one.  I had Calvin Cove so took my laptop to do some work on until it was time to sing and then again while I was waiting for her to get through.  We didn't get home until about 4 pm.  So needless to say I didn't have any time to rest today and am feeling it tonight.

Janet, my daughter's name is Stacey.  Sorry to hear that the operation you had on your eyes now appears not to have been the best thing to do.  It seems that we have lots of things that turn out that way.  It seems the thing to do but later is found not to be so good.  How do you ever keep up with multiple pairs of glasses?  Enjoy your time with Abby.

Teresa Dawn, I have never heard debit cards called anything but debit cards here in the USA. 

Pat, are you able to submit your Avon orders over the computer?

Tbear, hope you get that call for employment.  It sounds like you were pleased with the interview process.

Karma, I well remember the Mandrell Sisters TV show and Louise always seemed very sweet, as did the other two.  Barbara is one of my favorite singers.

There are many I should comment to tonight but don't have the energy left after this long day.  Tomorrow should be a lot quieter.

Thanks Larry for posting that wonderful hymn and thanks so much Vernon for asking about it and Papa John for posting a bit of it and the rest of you!  It's a great hymn.  I have it playing now as I'm typing this message.


Yes, Larry, I do my whole Avon order online now.  They just started a new thing though that it must be online by 11 pm (last night) or we're charged a fine.  So I checked and it was 10:58 pm when I submitted!  So we'll see!   

Yes, Judy, I'd sure like to live that close to Al and Marbeth as well.  Last night when I couldn't sleep, I again enjoyed just reading my Bible along with the wonderful devotional in our Songs of Worship area all written by Al.   

I'm giggling at you Anthony.  Hope you don't mind.  It was your comment about wondering about Tuna Loaf (Which I hope that Marilyn will post as I'd also like to have it).

Have you had Meat Loaf, Salmon Loaf, etc.  all baked in the oven in a loaf pan and then cut into slices to have on your plate with your veggies and maybe some gravy?  That's the kind of loaf we're talking about.

I know I'm risking a "bonk" on the head, but here I am, a bit tired after working 10.5 hours today, but deadlines are deadlines and don't wait for people that take half a day off to be sick. Heavens forbid!!!

At any rate, I had a nice long conversation with the boss that was dealing with this tight deadline (he's actually been meeting with his client all week long and must present my work no later than tomorrow morning at 10:00). He wants to swing by Nashville with his client simply so the man can meet me. Now, friends, that's really humbling to me. A person with so many faults and frailties, and he's proud enough of me to bring him here. And, most definitely, it's not "just around the corner" - one of them is from Detroit and the other is from upstate New York. To quote a friend, "Makes me feel just about tall enough to walk upright underneath a dime."

I'm praising God about a matter I've been wrestling with and worrying about for many years. He has provided me with someone who can help, and, thanks be to Him, she's a christian and prays about her work.

Y'all have a good evening.

Ruth Ann

Ruth Ann, that's awesome.

I know that you work so hard and I really believe that your superiors are realizing this.  Enjoy your time with them.

Pat
