Christian Photographers Community

I just spoke about it to Janet last evening wondering where you were and hoping you were alright.

It's so good to see you.

Sorry about your friend's sons though.  That's horrible.

Lee, we live in a little town called Grayson, about 30 miles east of Atlanta.  It is between Atlanta and Athens, where the University of Georgia is located.  Hope you did well with your golf game.

Janet, out of the mouth of babes.  You have reason to be very proud of the comments Abby made to her class.  Is she attending a private school?  The reason I ask is that she mentioned the Bible and apparentely in many public schools the children are not even allowed to speak of God, or Jesus or the Bible.

Sonja, happy birthday to Chandraya.  Our children, grandchildren and now for Pat and I, our great grandchild grows up just too quickly.

Regarding the new photo, this was taken when we went to Kentucky at the first of September as we stood with a group.  I just cropped out the part related to Pat and I.  I am glad that several of you like it.  Thought it was time for a change.

Iain, sorry to read you are having computer problems.  So far I have had no problems with my Windows XP
but always shudder a bit whenever I have to put in the security patches and other updates.  However, know it is important to keep it up-to-date.  I read just today that Microsoft has put out a roll-together patch that is 9 megs zipped and when unzipped is 52 megs in size.  I think I am up-to-date so shouldn't need that one as it apparently combines all of the patches.  Iain, do hope it won't take you too long to get the problems fixed.

Ria, you are indeed unique in all of Holland.  It is nice to know a "celebrity" especially a nice Christian one.

Pat, sure sorry to ready your posting that the little girl is still missing.  Lee, what a terrible experience when your daughter was little.  

Pinkie, of course we missed you as we do anyone who doesn't post for a few days.  Glad you are back and you didn't have major expense on your car.  I am very hesistate to let anyone jump start my car because of the computer.  I had to replace one of the computer's in my daughters car recently and it was over $200.  

Tonight is choir practice so will be gone most of the evening.  Our choir will be singing the "Gloria" by Vivaldi on December 9th in Latin.  We have a "lot" of work to do before then.  Latin is not my native tongue.

WHY IS EVERY POST SO MUCH BIGGER THAN MY SCREEN, IT IS SO ANNOYING TO HAVE TO SCROLL BACK AND FORTH JUST TO READ THE POSTS. I GIVE UP TRYING TO READ THEM IT IS GIVING ME A HEADACHE..

Ria.........

Yep, you now recognize that you are a women, and like all of them, you talk alot.

Boy am I ever glad I'm safe at home and not in holland right now. Ria would slap me up along side of my head with a frying pan.

Thank you so much, Pat, for your prayers and for all of your prayers.  The Lord has been with me as I recover.  I am getting stronger every day.  Our nurses continue to come all this week to check on me, give exercises, check blood pressure etc.

We start going back to the various surgeons who operated next week.  I am still a little weak but I think I am gaining strength.

Good to see everyone.  God bless.

--- Papa John              <)))><<

Good to see you posting PapaJohn. Glad to hear you are getting stronger by the day.

Well this page is the normal size, I don't know what was going on with the other pages here today. I can read this one just fine.

Marilyn

The time is 4.12 p.m. and I have finally finished reading all the postings.  Went  to town and met my daughter for lunch and have been out all day.  She had to go for Physiotherapy and we were able to spend time together.

The devotional was great Pat.  My morning 'Daily Bread'  was about effective prayer.  It stated that 'Through Prayer, Finite Man draws upon the power of the Infinite God.  The verse is:  Everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds.  Matthew 7:8.  A great reminder that God does hear and answer, according to His will.  The key for this person being....according to His will.  Not mine!

Tried to put the picture back as requested, got the dreaded  x  ...if you really want to see my face Pat, please be so kind as to work your magic.  If possible, make me smaller....A little bit goes a long way!

Ria, for a former Albertan 4 degrees Celsius is not really cold....only chilly.  Though here in BC it is not comfortable, due to the dampness.  It is approximately 40 degrees F.  I still don't think in Celsius myself and much prefer the old system.

Like your picture lots Larry.
Congratulations Ruthie.  I only have the one grandchild and she was born on Mothers Day.  Consider it the best present ever!

Happy Birthday Chandraya.  I hope that it was a wonderful day.

I love reading your posts Sarah.  What a busy gal!

Hope you get well real soon Jenny and am happy to learn the Iain is well....only the computer is ill.  I also dread doing the Windows Updates.....

Enough for today.  I must go and tend to my Canary.  He has been acting really strange lately.  Singing at the top of his voice....was quiet all summer.  Seem to like the rain....crazy bird.  

God Bless, Liz.

I like the post bigger...I have eye problems so I don't mind scrolling up and down. At least I can read them easier.

Marilyn.  I have been having the same problem lately, but didn't know if it was something I'd done or what .... not all the posts are like that, so I just don't get it!  

As you just commented: This page is okay.  hmmm

Papa John gave me an idea...........


<((((><--------------<((((><-----------<((((><-------[/size]

Neat.  This place is ok.  Thanks to Pat.

I haven't needed to scroll sideways at all in here.

The software that CP uses is composed of many, many tables.

The widest that a graphic should be if put into the forum is 500 pixels.  Probably better if even a bit smaller or the "container" is broken.

But also, if you have the font on your own computer set to larger, then maybe this is the reason that you are having to scroll sideways.

I just haven't seen it.

Sometimes when a person puts a URL to a site off CP, and it's very long, this might cause a sideways scrolling and if this happens, then I change that if I see it to a "Click Here" type of link.

Otherwise, I'm sorry Marilyn but I don't know what maybe causing it on your computer.

Happy Birthday Chandraya..

Larry, I forgot to mention that I like your new photo!  Abby is in public school.  She attended preschool for three years at the Christian school, but then, this year, just before school started, the kindergarten teacher quit.  Her mother is very ill and she needs to take care of her.  So.........they enrolled Abby in the public school.  I would much rather she attended the Christian school, but they have to have a teacher!  She is learning so fast it is just incredible!

We went out to Alco today to buy a new broom and a dust mop.  As we were walking around, Abby pulled out a belt from a rack and said "Grandpa, here's a belt that would look just ravishing on you!!" That sure got his attention!  Where do they get these words? It was so funny!  Then on the way to meet her Mom a little while ago, she said "Our new teacher (substitute) was a disaster!" Seems she didn't know whose turn it was for something.  Kids!  They are something else---never a dull minute.

Mieka told me to tell everyone that she went to Santa Barbara today to ride horses with her best friend, and was going to spend the night there, and to tell everyone "Hi" for her.  I hope she has a wonderful time!

Pinkie!! I missed you!  And I am so glad you had a good outcome about your car.  Praise the Lord!  I hope you enjoyed your class reunion in spite of the distractions with the car.

Rachelle, good to see you again!  How was your day?

Papa John, we are surely praising God for bringing you back to us!  Keep getting better and stronger!

Hi there, Liz!  

I guess I better stop being so gabby!  Bye!

Hi Rachelle:
Which button are you using when you post.? are you accidently hitting the quote button instead of the reply button at the bottom of the posts? You live in Idaho Right? I'll bet it gets awfully cold there in the winter. I am on the Northern Coast of californiia in the redwoods. About 100 miles south of the Oregon Border.
I live next door to my youngest son and his 2 children. I love it here. I came here July 12th from the Mojave desert. I have a total of 5 of my own 2 foster sons 11 gfrandkids and 1 great. Not bad for an only child. haha.

TTYL

Hi,
Yep I was doing it wrong lol..But, got it figured out now-I live in northern Idaho and it gets very cold here-tomorrow its suppose to be in the 50's..It was 80 today but, they said we won't see that kind of weather for a long time if ever lol. That is wonderful that you live by your son and grand children. I bet there alot of fun!
Blessings
Hi Janet,
Thank You I did have a very nice day-the kids did well on their school work and I got some things done around the house. Right now I am working on my Paint Shop Pro lessons-
Hugs
Rachelle:)

Oh, Rachelle...  I hope I can keep up with the PSP classes.

Are you doing Week 1 or 2?

I'm still trying to finish Week 1.

If anyone is interested, here's what I have done so far...

The Beginning of my Week 1[/u]

Karmat....... Praise God for answered prayer!

So happy to hear that Terry Schiavo is eating now.  I sent an email to Jeb Bush along with many others.  

I'm so glad they have passed legislation to stop the partial-birth abortions also.   That is a horrible thing.

It is great when we all agree together to pray and God answers.  

Please pray for Cecilia Zhang who is missing from her home, not too far from where I live.    

Love Ruthie

Oh, yes, Ruthie...  Here's the latest on little Cecilia...

http://canada.com/hamilton/story.asp?id=B629559F-C35E-4559-A3E5-F786A3CD77FE

I have just come back from the hospital visiting my new little granddaughter.   She is lovely and the other 4 little siblings were there also.  

My other son Kevin, his wife and their 2 little ones were all there in the same room as well.

Gone are the days when mothers go to the hospital and spend 1 week there and the baby is in the nursery and no visitors are allowed!

I will show some pictures when Kevin sends them to me.


Thank you for all your good wishes.


Love Ruthie

Hello all.  Good to see everyone posting today.  Marilyn, I also had an experience with a really big screen.  It was bizarre.  It was like the whole site was with 1/2 inch high letters or something.  I cut it off and came back later and all was fine.  I figgered i did something with my 'puter.  

Anyway.  have a good evening.  I am exhausted, so I "might" go to bed in a few minutes.

My goodness.. what a chatty bunch we are!  It took me almost an hour to read 6 pages of notes that I was behind on!

Its nice to "see" you Rachelle!., I am enjoying our posts.  How many children do you have?

Oh Janet., Abby is so precious.  I was laughing out loud when I read what she said to her Grandpa about getting a new belt.  Where do they pick up these words, for sure

We have 2 or 3 lady bugs flying arount eh computer.  and it annoying!  Right now, one is stuck between the keys.  I remember being in Pennsylvania at a SeniorNet bash., and we were literally swamped with lady bugs...remember Pat?

Pat - I clicked on to your new PSP you are doing... its just beautiful!  Must be awfully difficult to learn.

My heart is heavy as I think of little Cecilia.  I agree with Lee... it will be a miracle if she is found alive. What an ordeal for your daughter Lee.... only the Lord kept you from pulling that trigger....!

Jen:  Have you thought about Riverside Park, or the Cutten Club for your outdoor wedding?  We atttended one at Springhill one June day., it was lovely.  You can see the white archway from Highway 6.  The only trouble was, the traffic noise from Highway 6.

My son, David was the officiating minister at that wedding.  He had a microphone., and the bride and groom were "wired" as well., so everyone could hear them say their vows.

Ruthie:  Congratulations on the new little grandchild.  How many do you have now?  They are all so precious., and you are so fortunate to have them all so near to you.

Larry:  I mean't to tell you what a nice photo of you and Pat

Hi, there everyone.

My goodness, it's so good to hear y'all talking!

Let's see - Mieka, I love your sweet posts - and I have no idea how you come up with so many of the cute little "smilies!"

And, Papa John, it's wonderful to hear your voice again. How great to hear you're doing better. Hope Cornelia is doing well, also.

Joyfulhrt, it's great to see you here and jumping right into the conversation. Wow, I hang back so much like at wallflower that I admire folk who come here and begin posting right away.

Jenny, are you feeling better? And, Ria, it's great to see the results of your practice, too.

Al, did you see that Pam is having the VAX-D treatments in hopes of avoiding her back surgery? I spoke with her Monday morning and she said that after 2 treatments the pain in her leg was much better.

Pat, I think I'm about to follow your lead. I have LOTS to be done to my teeth, and there's a university here that teaches dentistry. I didn't think I could use them, but then realized that out-of-plan dentists still have 80% coverage with me picking up 20%. So, I'm going to make the rounds to get estimates before making my final decision.

I wish I could comment on all I've read - but my post would completely fill up CP for today! Just know that I read a whole lot, post when my computer allows, and pray for each and every request.

Y'all take care of yourselves.

Ruth Ann

Lee here is another one who understands the comment from a police background...  Jack, Pat's husband introduced me to my husband as they worked together on the police force here in Canada together.  John was in the ident branch for 2 years.  Yes we understand.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHANDRAYA

{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}

Janet that Abby is really something.  The way she looks at friendship is awesome.  Keep on grandma, you are teaching well.      

I 'll bet you are glad to be home.  It is always good to visit, but there is indeed no place like home.  Can you imagine how we will feel when we indeed fo "home"?  I certainly cannot wait.

Jen what about having the reception at the Country Club in Guelph on Woodlawn.  It is a beautiful location and the facilities are great.  Keep us updated,  I will keep thinking.

Hi

I finally got caught up on ALL the reading required.  What an awful lot of posts between yesterday and today (or is that tomorrow now?).

Mieka, I hope you had fun horseback riding with your best friend.  

Lee, I'm not an officer but I can most certainly understand the sentiment behind your comment.  I know if someone had done that to my girl, I'd have a tough time not pulling a trigger if I'd had one nearby.

Nice work on the photos Pat.

How was breakfast this morning Mom?  Good I hope!  Just wish I could have been there, but....had to work.  

Time to call it a night and get some rest.  The past week has not been the greatest and I'm afraid that my mood is beginning to show some sleep deprivation.  Must get that turned around AND SOON!

Good Night

Pat I to had large and small screens and my text size is set at med.

Have a good rest
Ruth
