Morning Devotional...


And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7

And the God of peace shall be with you.
Philippians 4:9


"Peace on earth" heralded the Lord's coming. The Lord promised His disciples that He would give them peace which would not be taken away.

We are promised peace to guard our hearts and minds. Just as the heart and mind are critical to physical life, they are also vital to our apprehension of spiritual blessing.

The adversary knows that if he can diminish our love for the Saviour or our appreciation of His Word he has achieved a victory.

Is that possibly why we have the "God of peace" as our portion?
                                                               --William Gustafson

God's Almighty arms are round me;
peace, peace is mine!
Judgment scenes need not confound me;
peace, peace is mine!

GOODMORNING FOLKS FROM AN ICY CHILLY ENGLAND!

LEE I had reason to think of our conversation of yesterday during the night watches.....I  had an attack of the "Agues" during the night. Iwas so cold....I thought of Job "that which I had feared came upon me" then I thought of Jesus and I felt calm...Yes "the Peace of God which passeth all understanding kept my heart and mind".........Amen!

Dear Ones I send prayerful blessings,
In Jesus Name.
Jenny.

Ria it is so sad when the pastor and the council disagree.  You know dear I have felt that your church was on fire for God.  When this fire is going the enemy steps in to cause problems and in doing so cause  dissention with the people within the churvh.  There is nothing that puts out (quenches) the fire of God faster than problems like this.  I understand that you don't like this, but stand by and pray for your pastors that they may be strengthened and let them know you are praying for them.  Encourage them to keep preaching the word.  One of our pastors will find the verse I am thinking of, but it is written "Where I be lifted up I will draw all men to me."  Pray that they keep lifting up Jesus and Him crucified.

I just drove John to the truck, it is 6:30, and I am going to head back to bed for an hour ir so.

OH By the Way, David is fine, the fires are no where near him.  He was o9ut to the desert yesterday and drove through areas of high ash but other than that he had no problem.  His only comment was that the people doing this should be strung up.  But that is not likely to happen.

Love Judy

A Beautiful Good Morning to all :) ;)

I really feel sorry for both Jenny and Ria in their cold climates.  No wonder everybody likes to drink hot tea. ;)

Ria, here in our small town there are more than 11 churches.  I haven't counted, but there must be 25-30 different churches and then there are all the small churches in the rural areas.  Right here in my rural area there are 4.  A Baptist, Church of God and being from the South there are 2 churches of black congregations.  This is within a 2 mile radius.  However, we all do get together as a community and  meet in the fire department building whenever there arises some need for the Dovesville community.
This is an agricultural area and we have a good many
Mexicans who live here.  There is also a Spanish speaking ministry for them about 5 miles from here.
And, our church has weathered not a few ups and downs.  The last one was like yours with the members quitting the church and the attendance going down.  Those of us left really got on our knees and prayed daily for the church, for a new spirit of Christian fellowship, etc. and we have seen a revival in this church.  This has taken about 3 years and has brought us so much closer as a church of Christ should be.  We are all a part of the body and each of us has a part in it as Paul explains in I Corin 12.  Thanks be to God we are still growing..still having our ups and downs, but loving Jesus and each other.
I pray your church will experience a healing touch of the Masters' hand.  

My, but I have rattled on.  Thanks for the devotional, Pat

I have worked this weekend and so haven't been able to catch up.  

May each of you have a blessed day in the LORD :) ;)

I'm sleepy.  My son decided he neede to get out of bed at 5am this morning.  That is about 4 and a half hours earlier than normal.  he didn't have a nap yesterday  :-\, so he went to bed like at 7:30 (we had to leave church early because he was so toddlerish).  Did I mention that I am sleepy?  :P

I hope all of you have a good Monday.  I have work today, but I'll come in if it is slow.

Love youns

Hello all you wild and crazy people!  And the rest of you, as well  ;D

Everybody pray for Travis.  He woke his Mommy up before 9, and she doesn't do well that early....   :P

All sarcasm aside... ANOTHER buncha bombings in Iraq.  Man, my heart just grows sadder every time this stuff happens.  I'm not trying to kindle any anti-war sentiment; I just really wish that mess was fixed...  :(

Gott get to work.  I'll check in later.  Good day to everybody!

Post by: Papa John on October 27, 2003, 08:49:45 AM
I thought of the song "Jesus Paid it All,"  Elvina M. Hall/ John T. Grape:


I hear the Savior say, "Thy strength indeed is small.
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in me me thine thine all in all.

Chorus :

Jesus paid it all,  
All to Him I owe,
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

A little later today we go to see the doctor who did the colon surgery.  I continue to get stronger e very day.

A dear friend of ours passed away yesterday.  She was the mother of one of our son's in law.   We knew them in college many years ago before we were married.  Then years later our daughter married their son.  It is very sad for all our family but she had been in very poor health for a long time.

I hope you all have a good day.

Pat ~ I listened to the sermon.  I am glad that I didn't get that message or at least, didn't get the message that I needed to do that.  Daily?   Wouldn't it be hypnotic after a while?  Also, I wish our church had a duplicator that did 12 at a time.  Ours only does 3.  But the team is looking for CD duplicators.  There we could put images as well as sermons.  I only wish we didn't have that copyright stuff and could record the whole service.  Homebound people would really be blessed with the music as well as the sermon.  I love you, girl!!!  (((hugs)))

Mieka ~ It amazes me how all your posts are a breath of fresh air.  Sometimes we are gasping from laughter but fresh nevertheless.   ;D I am praying that the fires that are dangering people and their homes cease and that is everywhere throughout the world.  I love you, girl!!!  ((( hugs)))

Sonja ~ Did you start your book?  I love you, girl!!!  (((hugs)))

I, too, must admit that yesterday I left for church upset.  Church is healing.  And when you think of the love that God has for you and the love you have for God, all those little things that upset you tend to be minor and soon forgotten.  Please forgive me if I offended anyone.  It sure wasn't intentional.  I just know that when I read something that effects my walk with God....I want to share it in hopes that others are effected also.  My first husband never read anything!!!!!  He didn't understand why I liked to read.  I told him that every word we read is a learning experience.  Whether we use that experience, it is our choice.  Sometimes we think 'Why did this writer think of this?' and other times, it is 'Why didn't I think of this?'  Effect or affect?  Those two words trip me up often.  But when I read something that changes my way of thinking and stirs my emotions, it is both.

Today I am going with Ivalou so she can get her mammogram.  Then, of course, we will put the feed bag on somewhere.  Let's see.  It is the 27th.  Shucks, my day.  If it is an even day, Ivalou chooses where we eat.  And odd day, I choose.  Works for us!!  Hmmm.  Pizza Buffet at Pizza Hut sounds good and besides it is out by the hospital, too!

Papa John, it's great to see you back and posting, we definitely missed your wisdom and insight.  We're so thankful that you're doing alright.  

I need to ask for some prayer.  For some reason last night, I passed out cold while I was at my fiancee's house.  I have never ever done that before.  I ended up having to go the hospital, but they dont' know what caused me to faint.  I have to call the doctor to make an appointment today.  I would appreciate your prayers about it.  

Jen.

I forgot to say 'Hi, Papa John!!!'  It makes my heart smile when I see one of your posts.  I am praying that the doctor gives you a thumbs up today!  

Jen ~ Hon, I am so glad that I went back to NEM or I would have missed your Prayer Request.  I am praying that they find the cause or find nothing that is the cause...does that make sense?...to make you pass out.  I am praying that it is the excitement of your future marriage.  Or you are so much in love with your fiance that he causes you to swoon like a Southern Bell.  Glad you are going to the doctor!!

Good Morning Everyone!

I'm tired today.  I was up late posting photos and didn't get to bed till very late.


No Chinese today, Etta Sue?   ;)

Sorry you had to get up so early, Karma!   :-\

Nice to see you, Nards!  Have a good day at work.  I was awake in the night and turned my TV off to see if it would lull me off to sleep and I saw the "Breaking News" about the bombings.  What a mess!  It's sad.

Great to see you on here, Papa John.  Sorry about your close friend.  Sad to say "Farewell".  What a lovely hymn that is and the words are so meaningful...

Quote


Jesus paid it all,  
All to Him I owe,
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

Awful, Ria, when there are problems in the churches.  Hang in there.

Kathy, how far south is "south" when you speak of it?

I guess you're going to have to get a harder quiz, Lee!   ;)

Jen, that's awful!  Boy!  I hope the doctor finds out that there's nothing serious wrong.  Glad you were with Luke!

Hope you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep, Judy!

Jenny, do you have central heating in your little house?  I remember oh, so well, the long cold winters in Northern Ireland when we only had heat in the living room from the fireplace.  I got chill blains from sitting so close to the fire.  I'd be toasty warm on the front and so cold on my back!  Most of my friends now have central heating though.

My Avon order will come today and I hope to get it packed all in one day and out of here.  I have a dental college appointment this week too.

Busy, busy, busy!

Enjoy your day folks!

Hi everyone.  I read the posts yesterday a couple of different times but just didn't have anything to say.  Think today might be the same although do have a few things I want to say.

First of all, it was just great to see your Posting Papa John's  with the hymn quotation as I see it as a very good sign of the renewed strength you are experiencing on a daily basis.  Was saddened to read of the passing of your long time friend.  

Pat, I am concerned you are not getting enough rest in trying to get everything done.  Most things will wait awhile and you must protect your health.  

Jen, hope the doctors can pinpoint the cause of your fainting.  Sometimes that is nothing serious at all but good to get it checked out to be sure.


Certainly the wild fires in southern California are terrible and there appears to be no end in sight.  I believe I heard this morning that over 800 homes have been burned and just a little while ago they said that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is in danger.  


Ria, our church is also going through a tough time right now and we have lost a lot of members.  This is a big church but I sense a renewal of dedication and of God's leading in our church as we work through these problems.  

I have an appointment this afternoon with my cardiologist as I am getting back to the point where I was before I had the EECP treatments and am not able to do much of anything without bringing on the angina.  I am hoping he will be able to increase or change my medication that will help with the problem.  I also realize I may be getting to the point with my heart, which is weak and severely diseased, where I will just have to live with this.  I am just concerned not to have my third heart attack as the doctors have told me my heart is so weak I might not be able to survive another heart attack.  However, I try to stay positive and just take each day as it comes and place my trust and worry with Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Thanks Pat, that is a lovely devotional.

Like Etta Sue, I hope that my postings did not offend anyone.  Ria, I have never been to that church as I live in Canada.  It would not be my church of choice anyway.  Have been inspired by many of the people who come to speak and share their inspiring stories.  Some not so inspiring.  

Ria, we also have a number of churches in the little town where I live and I found them filled with problems.  That is why I travel to a Fellowship Baptist church at considerable distance and expense.  Will take my blessings from books and testimonies on TV before being part of churches that hurt others.  Possibly the trouble in your church will pass....pray real hard for your pastor.

Not feeling especially well either.  My doctor made me try a new medicine that our Pharmacare is substituting for reasons of cost.  It has made me quite ill the past few days and I have now received some of the old prescription for 30 days.  Have to go back to the doctor and have him submitt another form to  get the coverage for the old....if your are confused, so am I!!

I am going to sit down with my prayer list and pray for everyone now.  Will help the spirit if not the body.
God Bless.

Nita, larry and Jen, I will be praying for you today.

Pat and karmat~ Take a nap today!   ;D  

karma, does Travis sleep in a toddler bed?  We tried it with Lila Mae because she was climbing out of her playpen but she refused for 2 hours.  We finally put her back in her playpen.  She hasn't climbed out since.  She learns quickly.  ;)
Have you started potty training with him?  Lila Mae is showing signs of wanting to be trained. She points and says she has to go, but we never get to the toilet in time.  lol... she went #2 on the floor the other day and she looked at me and then pointed at it and said "mine?"  hahahhahahaha...I tried so hard not to laugh.  

Etta Sue, we did get started on that book yesturday.  We are enjoying it.  We read chapter 1.  We are trying to memorize the verses too.  I wrote the last part; things to ponder, verse and question on a postcard and gave it to each of the family to carry around with them all day.  We will discuss it tonight before we read chapter 2.  I can't wait to hear what the boys have to say.  Pizza Hut?  That's a change from chinesse and mexican.  Eat well.  ;) ;D

I have so much to do today. I hope I am able to get it all done.
I will talk with you all later

Good Morning Thank you Pat for the devotional, Yes the Peace of God will guard our hearts and mins in Christ Jesus. There are so many who need that Peace right now, some are our members here on CP.

Ria: yes That church is all glass. Mr. Schuler started out his ministry at and outdoor drive in theater and when he began to build his church he wanted it to be as if it were ourtdoors, that is why it is all glass.

Jenny  and Ria I do hope that you will keep warm.

Larry I will put you in my prayer book and on the prayer chain here.

Jen I am praying for you too.

I have been watching the news about the fires down south. I heard that now they are worried that it will spread to a little town called Writghtwood which  is about 45 miles from where I lived in the Desert, It is a small   mountain community in the Angeles National Forest where many people go to ski.

I don't know how many here who also post on SN know of Cherry Sowder, she lives in Ramona California where the fires have burned up so many homes.

Post by: Janet on October 27, 2003, 11:09:25 AM
Good morning/afternoon everyone.  I may be scarce here today, I am planning to force myself to get some work done around here!!  I have already stripped the beds, have a load of laundry in the washer and another in the dryer.  Have to mop, vacuum, all those fun things. :-\

Oh, how I wish the atrocities in Iraq would cease!  I just cringe every time they report another attack!  And these were against the International Red Cross and the Iraqi police stations......God, have mercy.

I feel a little bit of explanation might be good here, concerning Beth.  I have always been honest and straight-forward with her, never try to keep things from her.  The thing is--if she had asked the doctor what to expect, he would have told her.  She didn't ask any questions about her prognosis.  And the reason I am hesitating about telling her the harsh truth is that she is planning a trip to New York in December to visit her friend John and his mother.  I don't want to plant any negative thoughts in her mind that may cause her to think she can do less than possible.  I did have a good time of prayer with her yesterday.  She started using the walker yesterday, which makes it tough, because then she has no free hand to carry anything.

Another thing:  some suggested she probably knows from her NF friends what to expect.  That seems like it should be so, however, no two cases of NF are ever the same, and no one case is predictable.  Some of them lose hearing, some lose sight, some limbs, some are dwarfed, some grow over-large---and some only have a few cafe o le spots.  So, other than being a support system for each other, none of them can predict another's or even their own future condition.  Her friend John didn't even know he had NF until he tried to join the army and they questioned the brown spots he had.  He was underweight, so was rejected, but the doctor did tell him he had Neurofibromatosis.  His reaction -- "What on earth is that?"  He still has only a few small tumors, and he is a few years older than Beth.

TMI?  Sorry........

There is so much bad news on TV this morning...... :(

Title: Re:New Every Morning~October 27
Post by: Pat on October 27, 2003, 11:24:36 AM

Definitely NOT TMI, Janet.  It sure helps to know all of this.  We all need to know if we want to pray more effectively.

I had never heard of this malady until you and I started chatting a few years ago.  I've certainly learned a lot about it now.

I pray that Beth will be able to make the trip to visit John and his mother.

Enjoy the laundry, etc.  I'm doing the same thing here.

Post by: Jane Walker on October 27, 2003, 11:28:26 AM
I've been here ... just not feeling too talkative lately.   :(  My heart nearly stops every time I see the news from Iraq ... which is every day and sometimes several times a day.  :-\  I have a grandson, Tim, who is an MP in Iraq.  How often do we hear that another MP has been killed?  I know those mothers and grandmothers, spouses and siblings are all grieving even more than I, because of their loss.  I don't even watch the news on TV any more, but the headlines and CNN breaking news is always on my ISP whenever I go online.    >:(

Then, there's my youngest grandson, Bryan, from whom I have not heard since he was here in August.  I haven't even heard from his mother for a month, now, but the last time she wrote, she said Bryan is scheduled to go to Sunni Triangle (Southern Baghdad) in November.  I just keep reminding myself that God is in Control ... and I'm NOT!  He has kept these young men safe this far, and I know He has a work for them to do.  He will not fail them now, that's for sure!   ;)

Anyway, if you don't see my signature around here much, it doesn't mean that I don't read everything y'all write!  Please be assured I take every word seriously <except, maybe for some of Mieka's   :D>
and I pray for each of the needs mentioned.  I love y'all  ... you're my family!      :-*

Lee, how does a guy over 40 stay up so late????

By the way, no, I was not a Marine.  I spent 4 1/2 years at Pensacola Christian College, though, and the lifestyle/rules is somewhat comparable.  Really, it's even stricter.  (More strict???)  

The hair is a little longer now, but I love the military/police cut because it's easy to take care of and it makes me feel more like a tough guy.  Hmmm.  For a little weasel like me that takes some doing. ;D

I slept a little more than an hour.  The girls woke up after 9 so I was able to rest a while.  

John is so generous.  he shares everything he has with me.  His pay, his camera, his dreams, HIS COLD! AND i REALLY DIDN'T WANT THAT GIFT! ! HAHAHA ::).  We are both struggling to get over it.  YOu know I have nursed the kids with one ongoing cold after the other and never really becane really ill myself.  Then this comes and the kids are well.   They are keeping me supplied with tea snt keep offering tyleonl.  Bless them I am blessed.

Our church underwent 2 splits.  We have a wise pastor who handled things so well.  The first was because a very small group of people wanted to go ultra charismatic, he refused as he didn't see God leading that way.  He gave them his blessing to follow what they felt God wanted and there were no hard feelings.  they still visit us and are considered friends.  The second split was planned by the whole church.  We lost about 50 members all who started a new church in a communuty where there was no bible believing/preaching church.  We supported them financially for a year, and continue to support them in prayer.  Pastor Dennis is a planter, and in the town of Lindsay the Evangelical Missionary  Church was started by him 30 years ago.  

We had 3 visitors in church yesterday, and I was reminded of the church of nmy youth.  Three children from the complex next to the church came to sunday school and stayed to church. They did this because they "wanted to"!  Pray for these 3 children that parents continue to allow them to come and that the Lord meets them.

Bye for now, I am a little hoarse fromn talking ??? ;D

Love to you all

Janet - It's not like you're holding back information that would help her.  Maybe she don't want to know how bad it could get.  Often, the human psyche (at least in some personality analyses) will create a physical condition to match the mental impression.  In other words, if you tell her she won't be able to walk in a year, it is possible that her subconscious thought patterns will convince her that she is not going to be able to walk in a year.  Thus, in a year, she will have lost her ability to walk.  Would it happen anyway?  Who knows.  

I don't think it's at all wrong to be gentle and perhaps SLOW with negative medical information.  If I were to tell my Dad, who is a classic hypochondriac, that he looks a little yellow, he would very soon be convinced that he has hepatitis, and would probably really get a stomachache or something like that.  

If she asks, that's one thing.  Don't lie to her, ever, but I would support your decision to be careful with the information.

Now that the resident psychologist Dr. Know I. All has issued his ruling, other are free to wrinkle their eyebrows and say... "Just who does he think he is, anyway?  He has an opinion about EVERYTHING!"

Greetings folks from a cold Western Isles. I have written this post before and I feel compelled to rewrite it tonight in the prayerful hope that it will be blessed to someone:-

'Consider the work of God; for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?'

Eccles Chapter 7 Verse 13

Often God seems to place His children in positions of profound difficulty, leading them into a wedge from which there is no escape; contriving a situation which no human judgement would have permitted, had it been previously consulted. The very cloud conducts them thither. You may be thus involved at this very hour.

It does seem perplexing and very serious to that degree, but it is perfectly right. The issue will more than justify Him who has brought you hither. It is a platform for the display of His almighty grace and power.

He will not only deliver you; but in doing so, he will give you a lesson that you will never forget, and to which, in many a psalm and song, in after days, you will revert. You will never be able to thank God enough for having done just as He has.

LOL

Your brother in Christ

Hello everyone, thank you all so much for your prayers.  I can't get in to my doctor until Wednesday.  I feel alright today, just very tired.

Jane-I'm sorry for your concerns.  It's a good thing to remind yourself that God is in control.  Always remember that NOTHING happens outside His plan.  But I will definitely be praying for you and your family, and your grandson's safety.

Janet-I agree with Nards on this one.  

Pat-you sound like you're pretty busy lately.  Don't wear yourself out doing too much.    I hope we can get the opportunity to get together sometime.  Sorry I've been so busy lately.

Etta Sue-thanks so much.  I appreciate your prayers very much.  It's so comforting knowing that people are praying for me.  Thank you for your wishes about my marriage as well.  I have been under a bit of stress about funds for it.  But I really shouldn't worry so much about it.

Well, I think I need to go lie down for a while.  Mom's orders to rest and take it easy today.  Thanks again everyone.  God bless you.  Jen.

I received this as an email today.  I thought You would  enjoy teading it as I have .  Pass it on tho those whom you think will learn from it.

MOST POWERFUL EMAIL I EVER GOT

I had on new clothes,
New sneakers on my feet.
I was there for class on time,
Went to the back and took my seat.

Yeah, I'm moving up,
I'm already grown.
Soon I'll be graduating,
And out on my own.

I talked to some of my friends,
We were all having fun.
Said some things I shouldn't have said. Did stuff I shouldn't have
done.

I knew I was different.
I felt God touch my heart,
I knew I should set a standard,
But then I'd be set apart.

Walking to the bus, I was not looking for strength.
I heard the car tires screeching,
But now it's too late.

I'm standing in this room,
And I can see the heavenly gate.
Oh no! I never prayed.
I thought I had time to get it straight!

An angel walked to me,
He had a book in his hand.
I knew it was the Book of Life, When would this dream end?

I told him my name,
And he began to look.
Then he looked at me sadly and said,
Your name is not in this book.

Angel, this is a dream,
No, I can't be dead!
He closed the book and turned away,
He whispered - You cannot
proceed ahead.

No...no this can't be real,
Angel, you can't turn me away.
Let me talk to God,
Maybe he'll let me stay.

He led me to the gate,
Jesus came to me.
He did not let me in but said,
Beloved what is your need?

Jesus, I cried, please,
Don't cast me away from you.
Tears ran down his face as he said,
You knew what you needed to do.

Lord, please I'm young,
I never thought I would die.
I thought I'd have plenty of time,
Death caught me by surprise.

Lord, I went to church,
Please Jesus, I believe.
He said you would not accept me,
My love you would not receive.
Lord, there were too many
hypocrites. They weren't being true.


He took a step back and asked,
What does that have to do with you?

Lord, my family claimed to be
saved, They weren't real. You know.

He said, I died for you,
Now I have to go.

I fell to my knees crying to Him,
Lord, I planned to be real tomorrow.

I couldn't make Him understand,
I had never felt such sorrow.

Then it hit me hard, I said,
Lord, where will I go?

He looked into my eyes
and said, My child you already
know.

Please Jesus, I begged,
The place is so hot.
It seemed to trouble and grieve him,
He whispered, DEPART FROM ME,
I KNOW YOU NOT.

Lord, you're supposed to be love,
How can you send me to
damnation?

He replied, With your mouth you said you loved me, But each day
you rejected my salvation.

With that in an instant,
Day turned into night.


I never knew such torture could be, Now too late, I know the
Bible is right.

If I can tell you anything,
Hell has no age.

It is a place of torture,
Separated from God and full of rage.

You know, I thought it was funny, a joke, But this one thing is
true.

If you never accept Jesus Christ,
HELL IS WAITING FOR YOU!
So please, ask Him into your heart.

YOu know initially I bought into salvation as LifeInsurance.  I now stay with salvation as a satisfied customer.

Regretfully, no.  All we've got to this point are some REALLY roughly edited live performance recordings that I would never let anyone hear who hasn't heard us live.  

Our band (which has no name, either) is the source of some frustration for me, even though I love what we do so much.  What we play is a type of "energy worship", based on an acoustic rock sound with some electric guitars thrown in.  We're often pretty loud, and we often get pretty excited when we play.  As a result, we're not the kind of band a lot of older people really enjoy, (even though two of us are over forty and I'm in my mid thirties), because we are ALL about involving the audience.  Our entire purpose is to lead people into the presence of God and challenging them to do something in response to God's presence.  We never introduce ourselves onstage because our opinion is that who we are is the last thing we want the audience to worry about.  We want them to see Jesus when we play.

The problem is that we're made up of a pastor, his son, his son-in-law (who is also a pastor), myself, our drummer, and our soundman.  The drummer and the soundman play together in ANOTHER band, which means they are pretty busy anyway.  The two pastors, well, they are always busy, and one of them lives over two hours away.  The basic result is, we don't get together much and we get to play even less.  But man, when we do, we do it with all we've got.  

The likelihood of us ever going "big" or making a CD or anything like that is pretty slim.  God may have other plans, and we're cool with that, but the current direction means we don't have the money or the time to invest in that kind of thing.  Maybe someday we'll be lucky enough to get a live mix that is worth duplicating some CDs from, but for now, you'll just have to hope we get a gig in California, or you make it to North Carolina someday, I guess!  

Sorry!  But thanks so much for asking.

I understood, don't worry :)

I have a LOT to say about music but it would definitely bring division to the forum, so I won't get into all that :)  It is a powerful tool and a powerful weapon.  

If you wanna talk music and how it relates to Christianity, I would be glad to, but I would prefer to do it in a private message.

Ria...........

I've only read the first page so far and can only comment on Judy's and Kathy's posts.  They gave you excellent advice, and the only thing I might add is that should do choose to leave, don't attempt to rescue anyone from the church.  True Christian pastors are chosen of God and the poor souls are constantly being bombarded by Satan's darts of troubles within the church.  Church problems are normal.  Hate to say this, but it's true.  There are always some form of minor fires requiring snuffing-out, and usually the pastor must make the choices.  Personally, I love a sound Elder rule of Christian men chosen of God to run the church, and leave the sermons and visitations to the pastor.  This comment doesn't exclude a visitation committee of men and women.  All this said, many of us are aware of pastors who want to hold the reigns and refuse to allow elder rule for fear of losing control and or their job.  Prayer is always the answer, lots of it.


Larry........

Sorry to har of your heart problems.  I guess we old ducks all have some kind of heart problem in one way or another.  I had a triple bypass three years ago and my cholestrol was 163 at the time.  You are on my prayer list my friend, and I will pray the doctors find the right combination of drugs to keep the old ticker clicking at a smooth rate and with sufficient strength to keep you well.

I agree with you on Pat not getting sufficient sleep.  Deseases of the heart and body have a way of slowly building up and then wham, they hit and knock us down.

Lee we also have a visitation committee and there are a lot old and sick people they can not go to the church
Also not the visitation committee also not a pastor
They only comes to us when must have money.
Our pastors have the last weeks not hold the sermons
also not the coming week.
The church council they are saying the pastors they
are doing to much new modern things.
And there are a lot people they can not understand
that.
Sometimes i am going to a Baptist church there is going a friend from me and then i go with here and
sometimes she is going with me. But it is nice in the Baptist church not in the church i don't no how you call
that church there it is not so nice on this moment.
Yesterday there are walked out the church 15-20

Dear saints of God........

The events of 9-11 through today have been horrible, yet not one desastrous event took place without our Lord's knowing of them (Even in eternity past).  We are sometimes amased that mankind can be led into such devestation by ungodly world leaders, but we, unlike those who will be damned forever, have our Lord's holy Word that has, and continues to give us warnings of what is about to happen.  When we read

Matthew 24
4.."And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.

5..For many will come in My name, saying, "I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.

6..And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7..For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

8..All these things are the beginnings of sorrows."

Since we know He speaks truth, and that we cannot change the events of this worlds destruction; all  leading up to the day He calls us home, the question for all Christians must, and should be,  "What dear Lord must we do, and what is our role".  Praise God, He has given us the answer......."Preach the Word of the gospels to the lost".  That is our purpose.  I know this about myself, I am, like you, a messenger of, and from God, and I will be called home the day I've witness to the last person I am chosen to witness to.

karma, does Travis sleep in a toddler bed?  We tried it with Lila Mae because she was climbing out of her playpen but she refused for 2 hours.  We finally put her back in her playpen.  She hasn't climbed out since.  She learns quickly.  ;)
Have you started potty training with him?  Lila Mae is showing signs of wanting to be trained. She points and says she has to go, but we never get to the toilet in time.  lol... she went #2 on the floor the other day and she looked at me and then pointed at it and said "mine?"  hahahhahahaha...I tried so hard not to laugh.  


No, he still sleeps in his crib in the bedroom with us.  That is more for our convienence than for his comfort, though.  We have a toddler bed, but he literally thrashes around -- he is an active sleeper, so I dread something that doesn't have steel reinforced sides on it.  kerplunk, kerplunk, kerplunk.

We have been working with Travis some. There for a while, he did well, we were being successful about once a day.  Now, though, he thinks it is more fun to stand in front of his potty, then play in the water in the sink or tub.   :-[  We gotta start getting serious about it, though.  The first time he did #2 in teh potty, he looked at it and looked at me like, "where in the world did that come from and what is it???"

This morning, he got quiet for a second and when I looked, he was sitting really still studiying the back of one of my crossword puzzle books.  I asked and he looked up at me with huge eyes and a totally awestruck experssion and said, "Vroom, vroom."  It was an Oreck ad and this child is crazy about vacuum cleaners.  He thought he had found the mother lode with that picture!

Ria.  I am so sorry about the situation in your church.  Unfortunately it is true that there will be problems.  Times are changing and Mother has complaints that the pastor doesn't visit.  It is different with my church.  Our pastor only visits those in hospital and if he has a home visit it is only when it is requested.  I know that the people in the reformed churches here still expect the pastor to visit 2X a year.  unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it)  we have too many people in the churches today for that.  I will say though you really need to be encouraging and praying for the pastors.  It is a difficult situation.

Nards I would love to hear your band.  I enjoy all music that glorifies God.

I am off for the evening.  Pray for Melaura as she tries to deal with a difficult situation.  A long time friend appears to be into the drug scene  She has been showing severe high's and low's.  When I saw her last week she was walking around like a zombie.  Every time there was a BIG low she would go to the washroom, and come back really mellow.  Pray for Mel and Jessica.  This is difficult for her.

Got to run.

Does anyone know about right clicking an animated graphic and then saving it to gif?

I have tried and it saves it as bmp.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........

what am I doing wrong?


When you selected "Save As", did you click the option for .gif?  Even a jpg can be saved as a bmp in explorer, so that's the first thing to check.

Other than that, dunno.

Hi Sonja-
thats what i was going to ask you if you saved it as a gif? usually there are a list of ways that you can save it-I had a problem with aol trying to save pictures as jpeg but, it is something to do with aol-I can save them fine in IE or Netscape.
Hope this helps.

RACHELLE: If you go into your preferences on AOL /Internet Properties/web graphics...and then check the box that says "Never compress graphics" you will be able to save graphics from the internet.  I learned this the hard way after a lot of sweat and tears, some years ago!

Pat ~ Just had the yen for Pizza today and it was good.  The salad was better than the pizza and better for me too.  

Larry ~ So sorry to hear you are back to stage one again.  I am praying that medication regulation will do the trick for you.

Janet ~ Mother knows best.  We back you up all the way with whatever you decide.

Jane ~ I know it is a big worry for you with one there and one on the way to Iraq.  Trust in God.

I know I am missing a bunch.  Just know that I have read all the posts....just didn't take notes today.  But I am glad to see Nard here.  Isn't it cute how he and his sweetie speak sweet nothings to each other in their posts?  

Gotta Go.  My intentions was to get online and 'save' my lessons so I could print them later.  Duh!  Here I am on CP and I have been online for 3 hours!!!

And now Jerry is talking to me on IM!!!

I can't get used to it getting dark so early now.  

I want to thank you all for your expressions of concern and for your prayers.  I have been dealing with this heart situation for the last 16 years.  My doctor wants to do another heart cath, which would be the 29th time in the cath lab.  I asked him if we couldn't try a change in medicine before resorting to this again.  He doubled the dosage of three of the heart medicines I am taking and gave me a strong pain pill, which I will try not to take except in extreme situations as it can be mildly addictive and I sure don't want that.  I am to see him again in about a month.  Enough about me as I know many folks have much worse situations than I.

Many postings today so am not going to try to respond indiviudally.  See you all tomorrow.

Sonja, have you emptied all of your temporary internet files lately?  When the only choice comes up as BMP, sometimes that can be the problem.

I have been talking to Mieka on Yahoo for some time, and she asked me to tell you all that she loves you.  But if they have to leave the house quickly, because of the fires, she may not have time to say goodbye to us here.  She says her life is in a box and she can leave very quickly.  She said the "fire snow" is covering everything and is very gross.  Mieka is cooking for 62 people tonight who are staying at her home now.

I pray they get those awful fires put our soon!

My reaction to your post......... ;D

Just remember my new friend, we old ducks have paid our dues, and now it's time to relax. ;D

RELAX?  Good grief.  Since retirement, I've never worked so hard for no money in my life. ;)

Ria......

I believe you have the same problem with winter as I have.  The grey closes in and depression seeps into our lives.  I have found that the experts have something when they suggest we turn on some lights, and when possible, head for the Mall, a movie, or restaurant.  Get with other people where their is light.

Yes!   Come to the LIGHT!!  Jesus is the Light and our only salvation!  

Please pray for me...I am feeling very alone and I need to go for an MRI tomorrow afternoon.  Is this a problem?  Not really, but I am really missing close contact with family and loved ones right now.    Waaa  I want my mommy!!   :'(

I'll be moving this weekend, and I will get help from other singles for the move.  I dislike moving so it's nice (necessary) with help!

I have enjoyed reading all the posts for today and I am reminded how much we ALL need the Lord in our lives each day.

I am sure He was with me recently when I was in the hospital.  Today we went to have a check with one of the surgeons who reminded me that for twenty minutes it was touch and go and they didn't know whether I live or not.  I believe God answered prayers and guided their work.

In any case right now I am feeling fine, still a little weak but well on the way to recovery.  I don't go back to see the colon surgeon until April.  He assured me there was no cancer left and they got it all.

I go back sometime next week to see the cardiologist.  

I hope you all have a restful night.  Larry 29 times in the cath lab is a lot.  I think I have had it done just four times and two of them were week before last.  The first one last week was in the right leg and then the other one when I was having a heart attack soon after the colon surgery was done from the left leg.  I do hope and pray you will have better results soon.

Nancy, go to...

Tools/Internet Files/Delete Files

A little prompt will come up that asks if you want to delete the ones on your computer that are in the Temporary folder and say "Yes".  (I think the wording is, "Delete all offline files")

I do this once a week.

Pat thanks for the comforting words this morning.

Papa John glad to see you posting and I pray that you will continue to get strong.

Janet try to remember that with a computer you are always learning something new, and if you forget do not be afraid to ask the same question over again.  I to have e-mailed my daughter at work asking how to do something and refered to myself as a dummy and man oh man did I get told off for calling myself a dummy.

We were getting some rain earlier in the day and I think it is to continue through tomorrow as well.

Almost time for bed but before I go I must put some beans to soak for tomorrows chili.  


Blessings  Ruth

Well, my copy of FrontPage came this afternoon and after spending three hours trying to put together one small page of mixed text and photos and only managing two one-line paragraphs I've given up.  The whole thing should have been done in 1/2 hour or less.  Of course part of the trouble is Windows XP, too.  I wonder if I'll ever figure out how and where things get saved.  :-\  Anyway, tomorrow's another day.  ;D

Evening from the Oregon coast.  I got online to read some earlier, lost a post and got bumped offline, so maybe  the post WAS as boring as I thought. :)

 My company is still here.  Kim is getting better every day.  They went home over the weekend, but came back today as the workmen are still cutting and drilling and whatever else they do to make room for pipes, furnaces etc...  

 As Kim gets better, my care and concern is becoming care and concern and crowding. haha    I live alone too....but you wouldn't know it now.

  Jane, I thought of you today, and I know you want your mommy. :)    The MRI isn't scarey.....that's what dad said, and painless. Of course that doesn't stop the desire to have a family member with you.  

  Welcome Crafty Sue.  Your name sounds familiar. Karmat asked about DPC....and I'm wondering if we were in a PSP class together.  I guess you'll have to come as the mystery woman and make your grand entrance. haha

  Etta, I thought of you when we were trying to decide what to have for dinner tonight.  Chinese or Pizza.  Then I thought of Karmat and WW and ended up having one of Burger King's Chicken Baguettes, with their side salad, and bottled water, which my grandaughter quickly snatched.  I wasn't impressed with their new low fat sandwich.  :P :P

  I watched the news on the fire tonight.  So terrible. It showed one man who had lost his children to the fire while they were in a car.  The pain in his body made me ache for him.   So many to pray for.

  Gotta go and answer some emails.  Have a blessed night.  I have troubles sleeping too.......so I'm wanting all of us to get some good sleep......It's so refreshing when I do, and wake to find I actually got a good 5 hours all at once.

  I wonder what the difference is between a night owl, and a night hawk.  hmmmmmm  Well, whatever, we have at least one of each.  We need to check this out.

 Jeanne, I have a copy of Front Page too, but can't figure out how to use it.  

  love you all...nita

I wish to thank you, Janet, Marilyn, Jen, Etta Sue, Ria, and Nancy ... (probably others, but I'm not too sharp right now   :-[) for your prayers ... I must say, though, Marilyn ... Your son and grandchildren are right next door to you.  My family is many miles away.  I'm not lonely I just feel alone sometimes when I don't hear from anyone for long periods and can only wonder what's happening in their lives.  Most of the time (like 99.9%) I love the solitude. It's just that there are times when I would like some contact.  

I just got back from picking up my prescription refill at the Pharmacy and discovered it is becoming quite difficult for me to drive after dark!   :o  :-\  I don't know whether it's the developing cataracts or something else, but this would make it almost impossible for me to even take the trip to Spokane to see my daughter and family.   ???  I don't know that I will be required to do that any time soon now, though, because she called Saturday night and we decided I didn't need to come <for a while>.  This is not a fun position to be in!

Hi NITA~I didn't see you come in ... I am not concerned about the MRI.  Just don't really like to go through all this stuff on my own.  Oh well .... :-\

I plan to add some illustrations in the future but simply don't have the time now.

Hi All

A couple of comments and a question.

Jane Too bad one of us were not closer to go with you.  Not the same as family (Blood) but family all the same.  I will be praying for you.


The difference between a night hawk and a night owl I don't know . but Pat is one and I am the other.  HAHA right Pat?


Marilyn you are 3 hours difference from the east coast, and Ria is 6 hours from us (Jenny 5), so you are 9 hours difference.  Hope that helps.

Karmat , Rachelle I need to join you at WW

Now folks What is FRONT PAGE????

Thanks and bye for a bit.

Jane..........

I'm sorry I'll not there to hold your hand tomorrow. But we all know you'll have the best tomorrow, with the exception that you will be IN His hands.  God bless you dear lady.  You are in my prayers.

Night Hawks and Owls are much alike.  They both have night vision, sharp beeks, dangerious claws, and they eat mice ;D


Nita..........

Have a good night.


Judy.........And you're good with numbers.

Post by: Pat on October 27, 2003, 11:44:53 PM
Hi Jane...  I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.  Are you being taken to the test by a friend?  You aren't going alone are you?  I remember Jack having MRIs several times and he did say that the noise was what bothered him most.  Please let us know that you are alright when you can.  Wish I could get there to go with you.


Judy, Front Page is a web page editor.  It helps some people write and build web pages but it inserts literally hundreds of codes that are difficult to remove.

Both Jeanne and I build web pages from raw HTML.


Well, I had an appointment on Thursday to go to London to the Dental College but my student dentist phoned tonight and asked if I'd go tomorrow morning instead as his first baby is due on Friday and he's concerned if his wife goes into labour early so wants me tomorrow.

I'm not a morning person and I'll have to leave here at 7 am so I'm off to open a new New Every Morning and then get to bed.

No night hawk or night owl tonight for me!  LOL

Tomorrow will be an interesting day.  I have a friend who is a retired sheriff from Mendicino county in northern California.  His wife passed away almost a year ago, and we meet every Tuesday for lunch.  Helps to fill his week.  Vivian and I have a lady friend who lost her husband two years ago.  Well, you guessed it, we are playing cupid and have arranged a blind date of sorts.  We will meet in Sandpoint for lunch.  They are really great people.
