SNOW already, Soni?  My  goodness!  We haven't even had a killing frost yet.........quite unusual for our area.  And it was 83* here yesterday!  Wow.

Big, heartfelt welcomes to the several new members!!  Way to go!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR KATHY!!  AND MANY MORE!
I am feeling really yucky, and it's quiet here, because I have lost my voice.  I finally gave up and called for a doctor's appointment, had a terrible time making them hear and understand me.  The only thing that seems to ease the pain in my throat is drinking hot stuff----and keeping quiet!    I don't know what's going on; I have been on a powerful antibiotic for a week already.  So at 2:30 I will see what the doc has to say.

My sister from near Emporia is coming today, so I'd like to be able to visit with her, without pain!  I had to cancel my class today, because no way can I talk enough to teach.

Anyway, I'm wishing all of you a wonderful day.  May God's richest blessings (the blessings you need at this time) be yours.  Love to you all.

Janet

Thanks, Soni---I needed that! 

Well, hi everyone - ... I have had some major computer problems (well, major to ME, anyway).,.  I was able to find a young fellow in our area who advertised his services in a local grocery store.  He came here last night, and worked for over an hour, cleaning everything up on this computer.  I now have lots of memory (for now ).....

Its good to be back... I'm not able to stay on for long, as we are going out for supper, then hoping to see the movie "RAY".  Are any of you planning to see it?  I'm wondering how its "rated".....as long as its not "R" rated...I'd never see an R rated movie.

I still haven't bought my Halloween candy yet.  We only get around 35-40 kids usually.  At one time, in our previous home, it wasn't unusual to have over 100 kids at the door.  Halloween decorating is big in the States isn't it,...at least in Michigan where my son lives.  Personally, I dislike Halloween decorating!!  All we have here, is a pumpkin... and its not even a real one.  Its one I have on the front porch with a battery in it, that lights up, and yells:" Happy Halloween".

Thats the extent of our decorating for Halloween!

I want to thank all of you who have missed me this past week....I have missed you too!

Get Well, Janet!!!  

Any of our new folks who have a webpage or forum, please feel free to post a link in our Links area HERE

Just open a new topic with your webpage name on the Subject line.

Thank you all for the wonderful welcome.  I am not able to be here during weekmornings because of work, but I do visit in the evening.  You folks have such a wonderful way of inserting welcome greetings and birthday greetings.  Where do you get the nice fonts and the great colors.  I am afraid to say that my posts will not be as colorful and spectacular as of you. I love fellowship and I try to add my advice after praying on what I will say.  I never respond to a thread without asking God for divine guidance and asking him to put the right words in my heart and in my mind.  I felel so welcome and at home in this site.  Also, I am french so some of my posts might sound weird.  I think in french and write in english so excuse me if it sounds different.  Peace to all of you...be back later...Louise    

Suzanne,

I enjoyed your angel story and know I am truly blessed.  I thank God every day for His many blessings. I'm fortunate to wake up every morning with no pain, which I think is due to the exercise I get.  I love the outdoors and spend as much time as possible working there, raking leaves, gardening and clearing a hill each winter that is straight up and down.  I also ride my bicycle three or four times a week when the weather allows.

My mother, who is 88, is still alive and in good health although on a walker.  She has had two hip replacements and came out in great shape. So I'm able to hold my head up and smile.

Anyway, I just want this post addressed to the Acknowledge Dept and express my: Thank you, Lord for all your most gracious blessings.  I'm deeply grateful.

Louise, where do you live now?  Were you born in France?  If so, how exciting!  We don't mind at all how your posts sound.  We have another dear friend in here from Holland called Ria and we so enjoy reading what she posts each morning.

I have been to PT and gone walking with my firned. Now I am back here at home trying to figure out how I can do my PSP lesson without using the plugins that won't work for me. I am 3 weeks behind and getting behinder.  ( A boo boo on purpose)

Louise even those most of us speak and write in English that doesn't mean that we are always literate. You are doing just fine and there will not be a problem understanding you.

So I am just stopping by to read the posts and scoot on outa here.

Failure and Success: Not Measuring Up

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in
vain in the Lord. 
--1 Corinthians 15:58

It is good to come to the understanding that while God wants us to
be holy and Spirit-filled, He does not expect us to look like
Abraham or to play the harp like David or to have the same spiritual
insight given to Paul.

All of those former heroes of the faith are dead. You are alive in
your generation. A Bible proverb says that it is better to be a
living dog than a dead lion. You may wish to be Abraham or Isaac or
Jacob, but remember that they have been asleep for long centuries,
and you are still around! You can witness for your Lord today. You
can still pray. You can still give of your substance to help those
in need. You can still encourage the depressed.

I hope you have not missed something good from God's hand because
you felt you did not measure up to Gideon or Isaiah. In this your
generation, give God all of your attention! Give Him all of your
love! Give Him all of your devotion and faithful service! You do
not know what holy, happy secret God may want to whisper to your
responsive heart.  Jesus, Author of our Faith, 72.

"Father, I commit myself to faithfulness today. I don't have the
great gifts of these 'former heroes of the faith.' But You've given
me life today; You've given me the gifts You want me to have and
use; You've called me by Your grace to serve You. I give it all to
You today. Amen."

NIGHT NIGHT Ria!

We love you so much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHY!

Ria - Great to see you back posting.....You were missed!   I am still praying for your dear Dad.!

Hi everyone.  I think after a day of fog and overcast weather that the sun is about to pop out for a little while.  It has been warm, which is nice.

I have had a pretty quiet day today.  Pat and I went to a new restruarant called Tijuana Flats and had Mexican food.  This is a fairly new chain from Florida and food was very good but the noise level was very loud due to loud music, high ceilings and hard floors.  They have this large dispensing area of various hot sauces.  I stayed with a mild one that was very good. We enjoyed the food.  I came home and took a nap.

Ria, glad to see you have your computer fixed.  It is a given that the hard disk will eventually crash and that is why it is important to save your e-mail addresses and website booksmarks and favorites as a minimum along with any personal files you may have that you wouldn't want to lose.  Hope everyone is doing this occasionally.

It is great to see so many folks joining us the last few days as well as seeing the postings from our CP friends who have been here for awhile.  

Janet, do hope you get your voice back and feel better quickly so you can enjoy the visit with your sister.  You have such a busy schedule that you don't have time to not feel well, although maybe you will be able to find a little rest time for yourself.  

Judy, I just looked up the movie "Ray" and see it is rated PG-13.  Hope you enjoy it.

Marilyn, nice that you could walk with your friend.  My neice had the Gastric ByPass surgery sometime ago and seems to be doing well.  Her mother, however, is very worried that she isn't drinking the supplements that she is suppose to as they don't taste very good.  She has three little children so she needs to stay healthy.

Happy Birthday Kathy.

Sonja, is that tree covered with snow from this year?  Sure glad I live where we seldom see snow.  Were your kids excited at the snow?

Welcome to CP Louise, babycakes and KREATIVE4JESUS


Pat and Judy, isn't this rather late for you not to have had frost?  We still haven't seen any frost here in the Atlanta area.

Hope everyone has a nice evening.  See you all tomorrow.

Oh, Larry, we've had frost!  Lots of it but now it's something like Indian Summer! 

Yes, Larry that is snow from this morning around 9:30am.  Troy and Zachery don't care for snow, but Chandraya and lila Mae are excited.  Lila Mae stood at the dinning room window in awe of all the white stuff on the ground. 

Just a quick note as I leave town.

Kathy, I hope the birthday has been great.

Also, welcome to all our new friends and to all our returning friends - we love you with the love of our Lord.

A quick prayer request. Pam just called and said they're taking Kassie to the Emergency Room - as an RN, Mark has identified symptoms that may point to serious intestinal problems. Would appreciate prayers for safety as the dogs and I leave to go down there, and prayers for my little family down in Georgia who are so stressed tonight.

Ruth Ann

We'll be praying, Ruth Ann.

Travel safely our dear friend.

good evening everyone,
I have to post quick and get going... i thought i posted this morning but i guess i didn't oh well.... tonight we are doing the haunted school again we will do it sat and sun too... sat we have a supper..... by the end of this thing i probably won't have a voice from yelling so much oh welll ttyl
Sarah

Pat I want to let you know that the problem I was having with PSP has been solved witht he help of my moderator and  a little ingenuity on  my part, (experimentation with my files). That's how I have learned about my computer is by trial and error.


Gloria is home from the hospital, Someone from the Indian clinic picked her up and I met them at her place, fixed her supper and cleaned up then came home. I will go tomorrow and pick up her meds and go sit with her for awhile, maybe get some of her laundry started for her.

I am going to ask Gilbert and Sarah if I can take the kids to the Fall Harvest party at the church on Sunday before they take them trick or treat.

Back to work on my PSP now.
TTYL

Ruth Ann, prayers are being uplifted now as you travel and as Kassie is at the ER. 
May your be guided and protected as you travel in the night.  May God grant to the ER staff the wisdom to diagnose that will heal Kassie.

A Big THANK YOU to all for the birthday wishes.  I have had a wonderful day...lunch with  friends.  a cookout after work with brother-in-law, SIL and their family.  Tomorrow I will go so see the movie "Ray" with my sister and daughter-in-law.

Snow?    Send us the pictures.  It is supposed to be in the 80's here tomorrow and Sunday. 


Welcome to our newcomers,

Pat, no I was not born in France.  I was born in a little town in the state of Maine called Frenchville, Maine.  We live on the Edmundston, New Brunswick, Canada border.  We all speak french until we start school, then because we live in the USA we learn in english.  43 years ago when I started school all I could say in english was "please and thank you".  Can you imagine a little kid in kindergarten not being able to ask to be able to go to the bathroom?  The teachers all spoke french in their homes but we were NOT ALLOWED to speak any french at all on school property.  Finally when I got in the 7th grade the great leaders in the government decided that we now HAD to take french classes but they brought in the french books from France.  I tell you, they really made guinie pigs with us.  The french we speak is Acadian French and now we were being told that our native tongue was wrong.  So we still were not able to ask to use the bathroom!!!! Now about 40 years later our Acadian french is recognized and appreciated.  We speak french anyway we want to now!  So therefore, I think in french and then translate into english.  That is my story for today ...Peace and blessings...Louise

Oh, thanks Louise!  What a mixup!!  I know where Edmunston is.  Been there a few times.  Also we travelled up through Maine to Hartsland and Woodstock, NB.

I love Maine.  It's so beautiful.  We have another fellow on this site from there.  He's been showing his lovely photos of your wonderful state in our Autumn Colours Challenge.

What a wonderful day today in New Every Morning!

Let's have another one like this tomorrow.  Let's talk about our wonderful Saviour and what He's done for us.  Let us know your plans and what you're doing too.

Now, I'm going to lock the door on today's topic and here's a link for you all for tomorrow's topic:
