I am very, very sorry, Papa John, that you haven't been feeling well.  It's so nice to see you here.  Thanks so much for the devotional message you've given us.  I pray that you'll receive relief very, very soon for the pain you are suffering and also that you will get your appetite back.

God bless you richly!

A quick stopby to read the postings since this morning.  We had a fine registration with over 50 new SeniorNet folks to take our classes and 50 or so folks taking additional classes.  It was the biggest group we have had for a year or so.  I didn' get away until after 12 noon.  Then stopped at a family restruant across for the church for a quick chef salad and then we had a fine time singing at Calvin Cove.  I came home exhilirated but a bit tired so was going to lay down for an hour (which turned into 90 minutes) and now feel refreshed.  I have lots of things to get caught up on so will be busy for the next few days.

Pat, we went in our friend's car as they have a large Mercury that drove like a dream and was very comfortable.  We supplied the gas and they provided the car.  I did do a majority of the driving as it was mostly on the Interstate.  I have to admit that Pat and I were glad to get home last night as we were very tired and decided it was probably a good thing that we didn't need to drive on North on this trip, as much as we wanted to do so.  I think we are going to have to fly up to Michigan and rent a car and do our visiting that way at a later date.  

Anthony, this was the 50th wedding anniversary for good friends of our who joined our current church at the same time we did.  We, and the three other couples who went from here, were their Presyterian friends from that phase in their life.  They have now returned to a little Southern Baptist church in Kentucky.  On Sunday morning we were invited to their beautiful new home for a Continential breakfast.  


Papa John, sure sorry to read that the last few days have been so tough for you pain-wise.  It is always uplifting to read your postings with the scripture references.  


Welcome to Pat Meeks.

It was a looooong day today. When I left home to go to work it was raining and foggy. By the time I got back home the sun had been out for a few hours and the day was beautiful God is so Good. Bea and I went to Hunan Village to eat. We got there right at 2 pm and the buffet had just closed so we had the supper meals. She had Shezuan shrimp. Mmm good. I ad one with chicken, shrimp, beef and veggies on a bed of noodles. I forgot what it is called. mine was good too.  I brought about 1/2 of it home.

My Pastor's mother called me with some prayer requests. I am posting 3 here so every one will see them.

JoLynn (Pastor's cousin) Cancer 2 weeks to live.

A man with stomach Cancer 3 weeks to live.

Geraldine heart trouble 1 year to live.

See y-all later.

Hello everyone.  I hope you are having a good evening/night/morning, whatever it is, wherever you are.

Busy, busy day today.  It was good though.  I am in a women's Bible study (not the post abortion group, that is another story) and we have studied two of Beth Moore's books in the past, but now we are going through Experiencing God -- Knowing and Doing God's Will.  I have done it before, but it was several years ago, and it is amazing how much I am getting out of it again.  God is awesome.

I am having some problems with my allergies.  We could almost make a calendar based on when they will "flare up."  Of course with 10-14 varieties of wildflowers blooming along my driveway (not to mention trees) at any given time, is it any wonder?  A good friend of mine went to the doctor, and he told her she needed to move.  Apparently Western North Carolina is one of the worst places in the nation for allergies -- we have such an abundance of "stuff" that triggers them.  I also learned that the Southern Appalachians are considered a rainforest.  Gotta check documentation on that!

Travis sends a hug to Etta, Etta.  You wouldn't believe how many more words he is saying.  We've left the world of one syllable, and are venturing into short sentences.  Mama, up.  Da, side.  (Daddy, let's go outside).  Beeno (Bingo) -- foo, wawa (Bingo needs food and water).  It's hilarious.

Toddlers are fun.  But boy am I tired!

Have a great one ya'll!

Just had to share this:

You Know You're Living in the Year 2003 when...

1. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do not have e-mail.

2. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your
family of three.

3. Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file
of your newborn so she can create a screen saver.

4. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell
phone to see if anyone is home.

5. Every commercial on television has a web site
address at the bottom of the screen.

6. You buy a computer and 3 months later it's out of
date and sells for half the price you paid.

7. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which
you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of
your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn
around to go get it.

8. Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to
make a purchase would be a hassle and take planning.

9. You just tried to enter your password on the
microwave.

10. You consider second-day air delivery painfully
slow.

11. Your dining room table is now your flat filing
cabinet.

12. Your idea of being organized is multiple-colored
Post-it notes.

13. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of
in person.

14. You get an extra phone line so you can get phone
calls.

15. You disconnect from the Internet and get this
awful feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a
loved one.

16. You get up in the morning and go online before
getting your coffee.

17. You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and
check your E-mail on your way back to bed.

18. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. ; )

19. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

20. Even worse; you know exactly who you are going to forward this to!

Just dropping in to say hello before Pat shuts the door.  Good night all. "Thy love stay with me through the night until the morning brings its light".

Well I have finally order my digital camera. A Kodak DX4330 3.1 mega pixel.

Woo Hoo as Karmat would say.

Can't wait to get it. I odered it for Tiger Direct in Miami Florida. I got my printer from there. Now I will have to buy some color ink for my printer, been out for months.

Certainly can relate to prayer.  I find myself praying when walking, sitting on the beach, in a bus....Have never quite had the discipline to develop a regular routine like some folks.  Used to pray at my desk at work and no one was ever the wiser.  Belive God has always heard my requests and praise.  Can never pray without praising the Lord for his goodness.

Went back to the dr. today about an ongoing problem and have to wait 3 months to see the specialist.  Was instructed to double the amount of the prescription and the government is fighting me over paying for what I now take....They are going to force everyone to go on another medication at the end of this year and try a substitute....if it causes to many problems, they will reluctantly consider returning to the old presciption if my doctor fills out many forms on my behalf.  I now pay full price for some medications and on a small budget, that is a problem.  Have had this battle about other important meds. that I must take and am now so weary of the whole process.  So folks in other parts of the world....our medical is not all that terrific!!!

Now that has been said, will count my blessings and remember that we are still more fortunate than so many other folks around the world.  How ever can folks survive in this world without having the Lord to turn to?  

Feel better for having read all the posts and will continue to pray for all the needs...God Bless, Liz.

Hi Everyone and Welcome Pat Meeks:

You will enjoy CP.  I will probably be the last to post at 12:05 a.m.

Thank you Judy B for the happy birthday to my sister Lorraine.  I have already said Happy Birthday for tomorrow.  

Talk to you tomorrow.

Ruthie

It's time to lock the door!

But the door of Sept. 10 topic is wide open and so hopefully we'll have lots of folks posting in there before Iain, Anthony, Jenny or Ria get up!
