Good article, Larry!

Soni, this may be you before too long!  

THE DAY TIM, the youngest of my three children, got his driver's license, he invited the three of us to go with him. I was determined not to spoil the day with advice or words of caution.
   Tim must have picked the narrowest, most winding, hilly road in the area. Unfazed, he and his brother and sister discussed automobiles and how to repair them. As we flew along, I kept a smile on my face and my mouth shut.
   When we came into the home stretch at the driveway, I sighed and congratulated myself for my forbearance. Just then my daughter asked, "Tim, what kind of tool would you use to remove Mom's fingernails from the upholstery?"

  You really are so sweet Pat... All the fanfare for me.

:)This morning I went to the Art group we run in the Church and was thrilled with the great improvement in skills of our Artists.  Our Church is in its 50th year and I have invited our artists to do something in recognition of the Churches anniversary.  For the first time in weeks there was a break in the cloud, so I hopped in the car (no appointments today) and drove up the motorway toward Rochester in Essex.  No sooner than I found something to snap at the clouds covered the sky with a dark vengence.    I still managed a couple of great photos though.

The above link is  to a website on sharing Christ with those who have seen the film. We received a letter that was written by the Commisioner of Evangelism at the church headquarters, attached to the letter is  and article taken from the above website.  

Last nights New Generation service was another time of wonderful praise and worship, the young people put on what they called a Human Video portraying some of the things the kids in the world do for attention and love. After the music started Jesus came down the aile telling them about His love, I wish I could remember the name of the song. Anyway I think it was one of those "you had to be there moments"

You are all so kind....

I wasn't able to stay up last night until CP got back online - early alarm for work today.  But oh, what joy to see we're back.  

The last movie I went to was about 20-25 years ago.  My father and step-mother took my husband (not Gene) to see Paul Newman in TheWitness.  I was mortified at the language and would have walked out if we'd been paying for it.  Disgusted me so much that I haven't been to a movie since.

I doubt very much that I'll go see The Passion....  I have a very squeamish stomach and even the trailers for it on TV upset me and I have to turn away.    The churches in our town are getting together to travel by charter bus to Albany for it, though.

England. 10.45 p.m.


Hello Gareth and Welcome to the C.P. Family.

Hey, Gareth!  I've spent quite a bit of time around Brentwood and Leigh-on-Sea.  Been there?

10.55 p.m. U.K.


Good evening to you all.  It's night time here and I am going to bed in a mo.Called in first to see if anything is going on, I don't like to miss anything.

Larry My father is 87 years old now.  He has booked a holiday in Greece  for himself and his lady for May "If I am still here" he said. Oh dear, he and Joan spend most of their time at funerals and visiting  dying friends in hospital these days. They have had some happy times with a crowd from their golf club but now the numbers are depleting quite rapidly.  Living to a good age is not much fun for some folks, especially when they do not know Our Jesus. Faith is a gift no amount of money can buy.

Well  folks I am going now...
See you tomorrow d.v.
Jenny.

Janet, what your daughter said to you about your fingernails sounds exactly like something my youngest daughter would say to me!  Oh well, good to have a sense of humor.

WELCOME GARETH!!![/color]

I think I have neglected to even say HI in here!

Sorry!  HELLO EVERYBODY!

I'll reply to you... Hello Nards.. nice to see you!

Gareth - A very warm welcome to Christian Photographers.  I read your "introduction"... what denomination is your church?  What are the names and ages of your children.

Larry:  I had no trouble getting your first post, and also the article on Decency.  Its so nice to read things like that...especially from a Democrat! (just joking, Larry)!

Jeanne: If you were going to Albany, I would make every effort to meet you.... its not all that far from here.  I hope to see "The Passion" movie.  I heard James Dobson interviewed on CNN., and he remarked how true to the 4 Gospels it was.  I don't care for Gory movies., but will go and see this one (i think).

Etta Sue:  What a wonderful post...and so detailed.  You don't forget to comment on anything.  Jerry must be feeling okay these days, as he is able to help like he does.  Please tell him I was asking for him...he is missed on here.

Paulette: if you should come by later., its always nice to hear from you., but I'm missing Jen...her wedding must be coming up soon, is it not?  Where will it be held, and also the reception? Do you ever watch "Wedding Story" in the afternoon?  Usually I have that on while I am preparing supper, then I sit down with a cup of coffee, and watch Dr. Phil.

Supper dishes need putting away. I'll check back later and view the photos Gareth put in.

Hi Al,   I agree with you about The Passion movie.  Because God hates sin and must punish it, His wrath was on Jesus when he was on the cross because Jesus was bearing the sin of all the world through all the ages.  That is why Jesus said "My God why have you forsaken me"  It says in the Bible that "it pleased God to bruise Him"   and the "wrath of God was on Jesus"   He paid the price to satisfy a Holy God.   This is so amazing!   This was the greatest pain.   Yes, this needs to be told to unbelievers who see the movie.

We all need to pray that this movie will have people thinking about their eternal destiny and surrender their lives to God.

Love Ruthie

Hi Judy mc. and Ruthie.  

I've been a busy bee today.  I was hoping to do hardly anything but nope, didn't work out that way.

Zachery is going in on Thursday to have another CT done on his abdominal to make sure his pancrease isn't swolen.

He has to go to the doctor tomorrow to see why he is still not feeling better.  They said he might need a stronger medication.

That's about all the news I have for now.

Talk with you later.
Sonja

Welcome to Gareth.  I took a look at your WebShots site and you really have some nice pictures there.  We are glad to have you here.

I hope you all have a good night's rest.

Ps 3:5  I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.  (NIV)

Darrel decided he wanted to eat Mexican food for supper, so we went to Alejandro's.  I ordered Guacamole and one taco....I got guacamole and a stuffed sopapilla!  Now I'm the one who is stuffed!  The boy who waited on us, was working his first day on the job, so I didn't want to complain.  Then the owner came over and offered to make me the taco, too.  I told her no thank you, it was just fine, and both she and the waiter apologized.  Really, a stuffed sopapilla is about four times as much food as one taco....so what's to complain about?  I like it all!  

Larry, that story wasn't about me, I got it from Reader's Digest, but thought anyone whose kids have gotten drivers' licenses would relate.  

I saw the making of the Passion again today on TBN.  It looked as if the entire crew had great respect for Mel Gibson, and had a lot of fun with him as well.

Darrel got a call this evening that he has an appointment with his heart doctor in Amarillo for 11:00 AM tomorrow, so away we go to Texas.........again!    We are not excited about going again so soon, but he needs to keep up with those appointments.  We had completely forgotten that he even had one; it was made six months ago.

Anyway, I won't be around tomorrow, so y'all be good, okay?

Hi, friends,

I've had a frenzied week at work - put in 74 hours. So, if you've wondered where I was - now you know!

Fortunately those weeks are getting farther and farther apart. It will certainly make an ole lady of me, though, if I keep up at the pace I've been living for the last 6 months.

Leslie may need to be treated in hospital. If it will help those headaches to get under control, so be it.

I haven't heard much from the Atlanta children. I'm just trusting and praying that God's will is done in each of their lives.

Must go - it's time for bed, methinks.

G'nite.

Hi Sonja....So sorry to hear that Zachery isn't feeling well still.   I will be praying for him.   Congratulations on Chandraya singing that whole song herself.  Good for you honey.

Hi Judy...how is Norm feeling now?   Have you every seen the Pampered Chef line?   Everything is top notch!  I don't do a lot of baking now so I only bought what I would use.

Thank you Jenny for those great words "Bind us together Lord, with cords that cannot be broken"  I think that is a song I used to sing.

Hi Kathy.... that is wonderful that you are spending time in the Word.   I have a cataract in one eye and have felt so bad that I can't see very good, especially in the morning.  Then I remembered my Mother had a big magnifying glass.   I found it and was so thrilled because now I am reading better.  I have set up a chair in my bedroom with an old curved light that shines down on the page.   So it is better now until I have the cataract taken off.  

Hi Sarah....hope you had a wonderful day at school.  

Thank you Papa John for that wonderful scripture Ps. 5: 11-12.  I especially was thrilled to read that the Lord surrounds us with His favour like a shield!  Isn't that wonderful dear Christians.

Janet,   yes Joseph is a type of Jesus.  Very similar parallels.   The brothers put Joseph in a pit, but later he was exalted to a high position and all the brothers had to bow down to him.   Fasinating story.  

Oh Sonja I just realized that Chandraya is signing a song, not singing a song.   Kevin, my son can sign.  That is a wonderful gift.  Our Pastor said the same thing that to love God, you must love each other.

Will come back later.   God Bless

Love Ruthie

Hello,everyone!!

I thought I would come in and say Hi to everyone!

My throut is feeling somewhat better but not fully healed. The Docter does not think the medication I am on is doing to good, so they might stick me on some new medication. the Pill they have me on right now is about this long ------------ a little over 3 quarters of an ich and wide ------ alittle over 1 quarter of an inch!! Pretty big!!

can't wait to hear some replise!!

Love

Zachery

LOL, Janet. Do you really think some one makes tools like that? Hahahhaaha....

That was a cute story, thanks for sharing it.

This has been a long day.  Some people are by nature up early.  Unfortunately I am not, so to get John off to work early is a stressor for me.  He has been having engine trouble with the truck, and today he was instructed to take it to the dealler and there they found it was running on 4 1/2 cylinders, not the normal 6.  They fixed the problem and tweeked the horsepower, and she is running really well.  He left behind time, and will deliver late.  That is the way the ball bounces!

Tonight while  the girls were at Awana, Melaura Cleaned Mom's appartment.  Boy did she do a good job.  I was impressed.  

Well I am tired, so Night Night all

I sure enjoyed being Pampered by the Chef and also having the pleasure of meeting and renewing friendships  at the party.

I had laid the peel and stick tiles in my hall on Saturday with many muscles being put to work and boy I am still stiff from that and the job is not finished yet. But it can wait for a week or two. The bathroom is next on the list to be done.

As for today my school bus trip was fine except for one small hurdle at the end of the day, the bus stopped dead and I have no idea what happened, I am so thankful that I had no students on at the time,  one of little trials in a days work.  The way I feel it could have been much worse.

I have been next door for the past 3 hours visiting with my g-dkids and Gilbert. Forest is a pretty sick little boy. He coughed all nigh and all day. Gilbert fixed pizza for dinner.  We watched a disney movie "Holes"  and sat on the floor and played Uno.

Pretty soon I wilkl call it a night and check out. But first I have to check out all the other folders here.  So good night for NEM.

How will you spend eternity? Smoking or non-smoking?

I prefer Non-Smoking! Thank you.

Great quote, Marilyn.

I am off to bed now.  Talk wich ya'll in da morn.

Zachery, bed time.  

Hi everyone...we need a big table I think...there are 9 of us here tonight!  Mom you must have been in and gone and I still had my nose buried in the posts catching up with all the reading!

Sue, Mullet, Kathy, Pat Scott, Boots, Marilyn Fisher, Liz, Jeanne Lee, Sonifo
I enjoyed playing hostess to Mom (Ruth), Pat and Ruthie yesterday at my Pampered Chef Party.  (And I Pampered Pat with some shortbread cookies too!)  

QuoteA smile costs nothing and it helps to brighten someone's day.

Jenny, how very true that is.  

QuoteIf Christ is to us what Christ is to be to us, eventually it will show in what we produce.

Karmat......WOW

I had to run a couple of errands this evening and have just arrived home and am going to head up to bed.  I think I will relax with a book for a little bit.

Our youth group on wednesday are going to see "the passion of Christ" It will be fun!!!!!! our church has a show on the gillette channel, and a lady in our church is going to interview us the day before we go I think or it might be they day of. HHHMMMHHHMMMMM!!! well we will be on tv, well localy. I think she said she will interview us during or after the movie.

Good night all and have a good sleep!!
