•   Prayer and Praise     Thanks for visiting this area of our site to share prayer requests and items for praise!

I would like to thank Chris Saunders for the devotionals I have been able to share.


"The wind blows wherever it desires, and you hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes, so is everyone who is born of the Spirit ."How can these things be?" John 3.
The True Believer is a free man, Christ His Redeemer has freed him from the slavery of sin, from dead religion, from fables and superstition, he is free to be a servant of the Most High God.  Nicodemus had no idea of this, being still a fleshly Jew, under all the law of Moses and all the other impositions of the Rabbis.
That is what most of the world are like, they have no idea of the wonderful freedom in Christ that Christians enjoy. We are bound by nothing, the world holds nothing for and soul.. Then you can begin to really live and love.us , we come and go as Jesus Christ directs. He is lord of our lives.
If the Son sets you free you are free indeed, but no one can know this from the outside, you must come to Christ admitting your poverty of spirit, let Him cleanse your heart

Thank you for the beautiful link to Crescendo. What a treat! Also, thank you for posting the encouraging words of Master, The Tempest is Raging. It is definitely a needed reminder right now. The devotional was also a perfect reminder. Hope you (and everyone here) are well; and hope you're all seeing signs of spring (rebirth and hope).

Judy they sing from the heart...

Jenny you asked me a few questions. Yes I would have transportation to go places. I have a year of from Jan. to get a California driver liscence. I can see to drive  I just wouldn't be able to pass the eye test.. I am goint to a specialist the end of next month. For today I am going to treat myself to a Mani and have my acrylic nails put back on after leaving them off for 3 years. Time to do soething for my self for a change. Then tomorrow I am going to lunch with a friend while tge caregiver stays here with Keith.

Hello all,

I've been MIA for a while, so not sure who knows who I am anymore, and I'm not sure who I know anymore. Please say "Hello!" if you remember me. I am still in touch with Judy B; she has been so nice as to keep in touch as well as comment, like and even share my images through my Facebook business page.

I suppose I should introduce myself again as if I am new since it's been so long.  I love Jesus, my redeemer! I am a 54 year old woman and wife of a wonderful, Godly man (for 33 years as of March 18th).  I am the mother of 2 grown daughters; both single with no children. My husband and I have a little Pomeranian mix dog named Murray that we adopted 9 years ago when he was 3 or 4.  He makes us laugh and has been with me through some very difficult times.  He is having some dementia though and his anxiety is worsening with age as well, but is a pretty happy pup most of the time. 

As for hobbies, I enjoy calligraphy, rubber stamping, doodling, bullet journaling, creative journaling and painting. (I am probably forgetting something) I also sing and play guitar, but am a little rusty at both of those right now.   

Oh, did I mention that I love photography?  Well, I do!  It's my job and I love it! I love landscape and nature photography (birds & wildlife, flowers & trees), but I also love still life and stock photography.  I am not so much into shooting portraits or events (although I have done several and one wedding), but I do like to capture candid moments of family and church gatherings and I do take the occasional portrait for family or close friends.  I am enjoying photography more than ever after having gone legally blind and then had both of my corneas replaced in 2013, due to a corneal disease called Fuch's Endothelial Dystrophy.  I'm so thankful to the donor families who made my new eyesight possible.  What a blessing, what a special gift and I am humbled by it.  I'm also thankful to my talented surgeon, Dr. Mark Terry of Portland, Oregon.

My husband and I are going to the Grand Tetons this weekend for our 33rd wedding anniversary. Due to this, I may not reply to any responses here until next week.  I hope to hear about some of you.  Maybe we will become new friends!  We will return home, to Idaho, on Tuesday.  I hope you all have a great weekend and may God bless you all!

Blessings, Kathleen

Hi Marilynn! I was just thinking of you yesterday afternoon, and I prayed for you. I was wondering how you've been doing. So glad you replied. Keep me (us) updated over this next year with the specialist. I really hope they are able to provide some options for you. I also hope your nails turn out beautifully. It may be vain, but I love my nails or toenails done - when everything around me is chaotic, I look at them and feel at least something is in order on me. Lol! I've never gotten a professional manicure though. I JUST got finished painting my toes while reading your reply. The weather is finally warming up around here; so sandal weather is on its way. I hope you enjoy yourself on your day to yourself. I'm praying for you, Marilynn! Thank you for replying!

Hello Kathleen (shutterbugmom)! So nice to meet you! I am relatively new here (about 6 months old or so). So what do you do as a photography for a job? I took classes with the New York Institute of Photography 3 years ago. The business class was fairly intense, and pretty much required starting a business; so no time like the present except the present at that time was the beginning of covid so everything shut down as I opened. Lol! It's been a slow trudge these few years to get things moving; but in the meantime, I spend everyday learning something no matter how small it is due to lack of time. I look forward to hearing from you in the future - and learning whatever you have to share. Hope you enjoy your trip to the Grand Tetons, and you both have a wonderful anniversary - Congratulations on 33 years!

Your Friend,
Jenny    S:o)

Kathleen (Shterbugmom I have been a member of this site for  about 30 years and  do not remember you. By thee waty I have low vision so would you please type your future posts in large font an bold so I can read them. I am so sorry to say that I have no idea what you posted here above.

Hello, Where is everyone??

Hi Marilyn! I was thinking the same thing. Personally, I just started a new photography project so keeping busy with that. How are you doing? I've been having problems posting pictures on this site for some reason. How's your weather out there? We are rain for the next several days - April showers a week early. Lol! Hope all is well there and for everyone else here!

...Michael ( Oldiesmann,) has seen my post and has now fixed the issue that was stopping us viewing your photo's, we can now see them...

Where is everyone. I come here every day looking for anyone  who has posted. So far no one has in the last two week. Her it is April 6 but not  even a new month has been started.

All is well at my house. Freckles goes to the groomer this morning. She will be 15 this yeat and she is still going strong, it is hard for me to keep up with her on would walks, I have to walk fast.

I got a new  tablet so I could use the Bible app at church.  I can't see well enough without a magnifying glass to rrafd  my large print bible,[[size]

Hello Marilyn and everyone! I'm still here. Been posting a picture a day in different categories. Other than that, I've been busy with things around the house and haven't gotten on here as much to chat.

Marilyn, hope Freckles enjoys her "spa" session. Also, so glad you got a new tablet that's easy on your eyes. Hope all else is well with you and your husband.

Hope everyone else is having a great start to springtime.

Here I  am am again all is well here. Keith had his Dr appt. Thursday, change in his meds and told him to drink water. He doesn't drink water at all noy even yo take his meds.I think I will make some cookies today, he really likes cookies. This time I will use part Coconut flour, and stevia, EXPERIMENTING

Hello Marilyn! Will Keith drink water if you offer it to him or does he refuse it? That's hard because of the risk of dehydration. I'm interested in knowing how your cookies went with the coconut flour and stevia? How did Keith enjoy them?

Friday was my Mom's 80th birthday! Last year at this time she had had a stroke then a heart attack the next morning. She survived and this year is 80! All the family had a wonderful Zoom visit with her yesterday.

Hope all is well with everyone!

Good Morning, Here I am again. I looks like just us Jenny,

Marilyn i must be invisible..although Jenny can see me..

I SEE YOU JACKIE BUT YOU HAD ADDRESSED JENNY NOT ME.
Sorry I didn't acknowledge your post.

Good, Good Friday afternoon.

  This has been a difficult time for me.  I had another fall and hurt my back again.  The frost is coming out of our roads so there is a lot of bumping and back stress with the school bus I drive..  Yesterday I had a tooth out and thankfully it is causing a lot less pain than before.

John is running back and forth to LA California, a trip every week.  We had our wood furnace give up the ghost in January and wound up paying $1000 a month for fuel oil. Life is interesting, and it is wonderful to see how God provides.  Without the job we would have had a real crisis on our hands. Thankful for the provision of a job.

Talking about provision We have a way to the Father we to the provision of the Son, who died for us and gave His life for us. 

I will start a new month in May, we are better than 1/2 way through April.  Sorry that I haven't been here, I promise to do better.
