Christian Photographers Community

It reminds me of the hymn...

In response to a few of our members requesting this, we've created a new board in our Photography category entitled, Techniques and Critiques.

Some of us might like to get an opinion of a photo before submitting it to a contest or other type of show and so here's where you can get the opinion of others.[/font][/size]

JudyB--Art Linkletter is alive and well, and still gives us a great laugh when we see him on TV.  He is well up in years now, though, but still seems to be enjoying good health.  He is a real icon!

Ria, I loved your little boy's prayer.  They are so sweet in their innocence.  Wouldn't it be nice if they could stay so innocent?  But then I guess they wouldn't be able to defend themselves in this world.

Iain, I do hope you are pain free today!  We appreciate you so much.

Hi Pat!  Feeling better now?  

Hello Jenny, Marilyn, Carol (I sure hope your husband's poor little finger is okay!), Etta Sue, Ruth Ann, and Karma!

Karma, isn't it disgusting how liberals try to hijack every discussion and turn it to their own ends?

Mieka, where are you?  And Papa John?

  A good day to all!

Iian, you had me looking up that raven in the Bible right away.  I was wondering why I hadn't noticed that before.  I can picture the ark now with the opening in the top for the raven to come and go.  
Thanks for the thoughtful devotional.  
By the way...keep the hooligan across the lake.

Ria..That was so sweet of your son.  His prayers are right from his heart.  No pretense with children and that is good.

Judy, I know about having to prime the pump and not having water.  What a mess!  I hope things are better now and you have water.  One Sunday we had invited about 50 for a picnic dinner to celebrate my mother-in-law's 90th birthday...Well, the pump broke and I had to still fry chicken.  Can you imagine what a mess especially since we were hosting the whole thing.  My husband found a pump and spent the whole day trying to put it on.  In the meantime, we had a picnic (it was an inside deal) and only had 2 bathrooms in the house.  No way to flush toilets. Needless to say,  I sent all males to the woods.  (we live out in the country)  I was prepared with the paper plates and cups and everybody had a good time anyway.  But my stress level was higher than normal.

I wish for you a cat, Marilyn.   I have both cat & dog and they do fine together.  Then, of course, there are these things that you plug into your electric sockets to keep away the rodents, etc.  I have those and they seem to work.

I am glad to see Pat online with her new notice and one of my favorite songs.  

Janet, I am here every day.  Sometimes I just like to read the posts and do not feel like I have much of interest to add.

Last night in our daily Bible reading we finished the book of Daniel.  So much of the book especially in the first chapters seem so clear but then later there are difficult Passages.  In Dan 12:8  - - -  I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, "My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?"
I told Cornelia when we had finished the reading that there is a lot I hear but do not understand.  I thought of the song with the lines, "We'll understand better bye and bye."

As I grow older I think more about the fact that it won't be long until some of the questions in our minds will be answered.  I like the assurance John gives us in 1 John 3:2  "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.  (NIV)

I am looking forward to tomorrow when we will meet with our church family and enjoy the fellowship and worship.  We go to our Bible classes at 9:00 and the worship period begins at 10:15.  There is an early service at 8:00.  I hope you all have a good week-end.

I have been watching the most magnificent concert on Public Television. Andre Rieu live in Dublin. He is a wonderful classical violinist. If you get a chance to see this concert on PBS I highly recommend it. It is will full orchestra.

John Sheehan a famous Irish violinist is now playing with Andre. I have tears as I listen to this magnificent music.

I love classical music. I played the violin as a  youngster. I started with a 3/4 size that my Grandfather made from Hickory bark. I played from 8 to 16. I was second chair in the all city high school  orchestra.

I also grew up listening to Italian Opera. My step dad  was Italian.

More stuff ya didn't know about me.

Hi everyone.  I have been here a couple of times to read postings and then something interrupted me before I could post.  I spent all morning helping a friend get her PC set up and ready for the Internet.  It took 3 hours before her service was active so we weren't able to do much beyond setting up the account.  I just checked from my computer a little bit ago and the account is now active so she will be online.  She had been using AOL and an old MacIntosh computer.  I couldn't find a way to export the addresses after setting up the AOL account on her new PC.  We didn't have time to do anything about virus protection so will probably need to go back next week sometime and help her some more.  This was the couple we traveled with this past weekend and she sings in the choir with me.  

Then this afternoon I spent a long time on the phone with my sister-in-law trying to help her get Internet access but we finally gave up and tomorrow she will pick up the Wal-Mart disc and that should help her get online.  She can try it for a month free so that should help her get started.  She has had access before.

Judyb, my folks used to live on a farm and had a pump under their house.  I don't know how many times we would visit and Dad would have to get under the house to work on the pump.  Know it can be very frustrating.  

I appreciated the devotional thoughts today and all of the posting.  See you all tomorrow.  Pat, sure hope your jaw is a lot better by this evening.  You are having quite a time with all that dental work.

Marilyn
Andre Rieu is one of my wife's favorite performers, so I surprised here with tickets to a live performance in Concord California,(pavilion) a couple of years back. We and some others, got up and danced while they were playing one of Strauss's Waltz's.
Not only did his orchestra play beautifully,  but they had some very funny skits in between the great music.
Hey, now that your up there in the "wilderness" you better not mention that you were one of those fancy violinist in an Orchestra.  Just tell them you're a fiddler.

How nice to come in here and see all the posts from everyone!  Usually Saturdays are one of our days with few posts but here we are on page 3 already!

I had a very enjoyable surprise visit today from my daughter and SIL and all four grandchildren.  They had been to the African Lion Saffari with Phil's work.  His boss paid for all of the employees to go.  So we all went to the mall and enjoyed walking around the stores and enjoyed a cup of coffee together.

Larry, you'll have to show your friend how to get to CP!

Nice to see you ByGrace here in our local CP donut shop!  LOL

I thank God that I have never seen a mouse in this house.  And more than that, a rat!!!!

Whew!  I messed around on the pc too late.  Had lunch too late.  Then I mowed the lawn, fed to moles, sprayed some 'Weed 'n' Feed', hosed down the deck and then showered myself!  Watched a little TV and talked to Jerry on IM for over an hour...he is doing real good with his typing.  Talking to Jerry, I found out that the Governor O'Bannon of Indiana passed away today at 11:55AM.  He had a cerebrial hemmorage...about the same as Jerry, while in Chicago.  He had surgery but complications set in and with his Living Will being honored they didn't put him on life support and he passed away.  First time in Indiana history that a Governor passed away during service.  History made today.  So we now have Governor Kernan for 18 months.  I am sure he will do a fine job.  

Also I was sent an email with a clickable on it.  It is pictures of a hummingbird nest with two eggs that hatched.  Very fascinating photos.  Click on HUMMINGBIRD NEST to see the great photographs.  The photographs may load slow but well worth the time.  Go see for yourself!

I pray everyone's pumps are fixed and all with pain in the past stays in the past.

Etta Sue, thank you for that website on hummingbirds.  That was wonderful to see.  I didn't know it was possible for anyone to get that close and that often, to make pictures like that.
All God's creation is so marvelous!

Hello to everyone, I have only been here a few times this week.  And have not tried to catch up reading.....impossible.  My time is so limited when I do get here.

2 questions...what is a hooligan?  
and what does "precinct" mean?  I know what it means here but obviously it is not the same there.

I hope all who are in pain and ailing otherwise are doing better.  Gettin older is sure no piece of cake, is it?     We sure have our share of ailments at our house.  

Must go.  Have a great Lord's Day tomorrow, everyone!  

Blessings in Christ,
~Janice

You did it again, Pat.    You must like to see me looking like this:  

Thank you for all the help about Art Linkletter. I rresearched after I posted.  Should havd done that first! ! !

I did get the pump going.  The switch was fine just the holding tank was full! ! ! I was borrowing trouble!

John is now home.  I had 3 bushels ot tomatoes come in with him.  Monday My work is cut out for me.  I am freezing more than one bushel and canning the rest.  I also have peppers to do down too.  

I am thanking God for the fair weather.  I need to get wood in, not sure how.  What is the verse?  He will meet my needs?  Yes, I know He will.  He always does.

We have a full orange moon tonight.  It is beautiful.  I need to learn more about how to operate the camera on manual settings.  Then these scenes I have seen we will be able to photo so you all can see.

Meika I had the opportunity to show some dear friends your pictures of Alaska.  We all have said we want to go to the cold!  The pictures are beautiful, do you have more?

Well I have togo.  The best way to ruin a Sunday is to be up late on a Saturday.  Must go and have a rest.

Love to all
JudyB

Hi Everyone:

Thank you Pat for the music again "Till the Storm passes by"  I love that song.

I was at Peoples Church tonight, where I am a member, for their 75th anniversary.  I was one of 45 people who carried a flag of a country of the world onto the platform and 2 of my little grandchildren were in a children's musical.  We had an amazing video of Oswald J. Smith the founder and then Paul B. Smith who was Senior Pastor for over 40 years.  Osward's baby sister was on the platform and she is 95 years old.  She was so bright she spoke like someone only 65 years old.  John Hall came back from Atlanta. He was the third pastor.  

The evening was wonderful.  We sang such amazing songs, lifting up our wonderful Lord Jesus.  We finished by singing "How great Thou Art"  There were 2000 people there and the same program will be on Sunday night.

You can see Charles Price, our new Pastor on TV Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m.

Time for bed.  Goodnight   Ruthie

Sounds like a wonderful evening, Ruthie!

Thanks for telling us about it.  I remember going down to Youth for Christ at 100 Bloor St. E. back in the days when People's was located there.

I don't remember if I have posted today or not.  That is sad.

I hope everyone has had a beautiful wonderful day today.  And I hope that everyone is able to go to their house of worship (hmmmm, maybe take your camera and snap a quick one) and learn, pray, praise and worship the One who gives us life and breath.

Good night.  I'm not leaving, yet, but figured I would go ahead and say it since Pat will probably lock up soon.

Yes, Karma, time to lock the door on yet another Saturday evening.

My goodness, this month is passing quickly!

I'm on my way to bed now and we'll chat tomorrow.

(Take your cameras to your place of worship!)
