Morning Devotional...


There they crucified Him.                           Luke 23:33


The ultimate crime!

The supreme blasphemy!

The vilest obscenity!

The grossest stupidity!

Sinners defiled and dead to God, actually nailed "Him" to the wood.

He, the loveliest Man who ever walked the dust of earth. He healed their brokenhearted, dried their tears, and blessed their little children. He brought the Word of heaven to their hearts and would open heaven to their souls.

Who were "they"?

People like you and me. But, praise the Lord, He did it to procure forgiveness for people like you and me.

Congrats to Christian Photographers for being publicly online for 7 full years!! What an accomplishment.  I, myself, haven't been a big participant as I've just begun my new small Photography Business  but would like to share some of the photo plus art I've worked on over the past few months, with constructive feedback welcome. 

I think it's great there is a site like this, even though, in all truth I have had a bit of a harder time navigating around this site in comparison to various other social online networks I belong too.  God is in control of it all and with 7 year of your service online, that definitely means something special!!

Blessings to everybody that runs this site as well as members who activily participate in it

Hi Cecilia!

Thanks for posting!  It's great to have you here.  And thanks, too, for voting in the poll above.

I'd love to see some of your photography!

Thanks for the devotional. It has been wonderful to remember all that the Lord has done for us. Praise His name.

7 years online - that is an achievement.  Let me think - that means Janet Damon started posted when she was 14 - well done Janet! 

I am a little tired this morning, but looking forward to the day.  It's a bit cold here in the U.K. but I don't think we have as much rain as the forecasters threatened us with   

I hope everyone has a blessed day and God bless you all.

Anthony.

  Anthony--you noticed!   

I'm just buzzing past before leaving for work this morning, will be back later in the day.

We had a lovely afternoon with Diane, Jeff, Abby and Beth here.  They are lovely people! 

Judy Mc!  How nice to see your post, and welcome back!

Cecilia, I'm so happy that you are joining us on this 7th Anniversary of our site.  You'll find this is a wonderful place for friendship, prayer support, praise for blessings and of course wonderful photography.

Beautiful devotional for this week, Pat. 

Celia I am looking forward to seeing your work.  I am not much of a technical critic, but I do enjoy good and unusual photography!.

Pat it is hard to believe it has been seven years already.  God bless you as you continue here.

Cecilia, thanks for posting today and it's nice to hear from you.  I hope you do post some of your photos onto the forum.  It would be good to see them.

Janet, I'm glad that you had a good time yesterday.  I hope all goes well at work and see you soon.

Jeanne, nice poster.  Did you do that in psp?  I haven't used psp for ages.

I had a good morning at work.  I went into my new client who had great difficulty moving around and there was hardly any room to move in his place, but it was a good time and he was a very nice person.

I am just going to do some language learning and then Bible study and have a little nap    Speak to you all soon.

Anthony.  p.s. Hello Judy.

Welcome Cecilia!  Glad you're here!  I was here when it all began, and, praise the Lord, I'm still here now.  It's been a great place to come, to share our faith and photography, and to know that our Lord is here with each and every one of us!  I echo the others - please post some of your photos, as we'd love to see them!

Good morning.  I have already taken the trash out and Ivalou and I have been to rehab.  She is only doing physical therapy this week since the speech therapists is on vacation and there wasn't anyone available to take her place.  Then Ivalou and I stopped at a little place for breakfast.  We saw another couple of ladies there and had some nice visits with them. 

Now I am home until this evening when I go to church for the Council Meeting. 

It is suppose to be raining according to the predictions but 'they' are wrong again!  Yeah!  It is bright and sunny!!

Hi everyone.  My not feeling well turned out to be the flu and it really had a drastic effect on my strength and desire to do anything.  I am happy to say this morning I feel like a human being again and felt like catching up on a number of things.  I hadn't read any messages here for about 4 days and felt I was really behind. 

I enjoyed the Easter related items and discussions.  I did go to church yesterday.  I did not participate in the processional and sat during the singing of the hymns.  I find that singing is very tiring as is standing an walking while singing.  I probably will continue this practice as several times have become ill while trying to get through a service.  I hope this will extend the time I will be able to participate in choir.

The only positive from the last week is that I lost about 7 pounds as just have no appetite.  It is still not back to normal but is better as I had an orange this morning.

As soon as church was over we came home and I spent several hours resting.  The choir had done a beautiful new anthem and then sang the Hallelujah chorus from "The Messiah".  We also had Communion.  It was really nice to see the santuary filled with people. 

Not going to make any individually addressed comments today.  See you all tomorrow.

So glad you're feeling human again, Larry.      

I, also, was here "when this all began" and am very grateful for each one who posts here and, especially, for the ones who do all the behind the scenes work ... and I'm aware of just how much work it can become. 

I will be leaving California today ... as soon as Joy and John emerge from sleep and we can get some last minute business taken care of.

I called to check on how Tom is doing last evening and got a good report ... again!  The morning nurse had left a report that he was "singing" with them and was in good spirits.  I'm so happy for that.  Tom loves to sing and, when I visited him on Friday, he was keeping time with his hands, and nodding his head as the nurses sang while they were getting him settled into his bed after being up for over 3 hours.  Yesterday, the nurse told me he had been up once again for more than three hours.  God is good and I continue to expect great things for Tom and his recovery.

The next time I post here, I will be home in Oregon. 

I am pleased to see Cecilia joining us and will be looking forward to viewing the photography she has to share. 

Hello to everyone and I would also like to welcome Cecilia. I haven't visited this site in awhile but will be coming back more often now. I'm happy you're feeling better Larry as I know the flu can really knock one for a loop.

Congratulations to all those who started this site and to all the workers who kept it going for these seven years. Of course, the devoted members are included in this  success too. 

Wonderful to read your posts---but not yours Larry.  I'm truly saddened to read that you are not well.  Please take care.

Hi Kathy!

Drive safely Jane!

Anthony, what kind of work are you doing now? 

It is hard to believe that I have been coming to this site since Dec 2003.  Time sure fly's.
Happy Anniversary to all who participate and for those that just drop in every-so-often and to those that have come and left for other pastures.

My thanks to those who got together and decided that this site w.b the thing to do.  Thanks also to those that adminster and keep this site updated and going.

Thanks to you Pat, who invited me to this site after she saw I caught some flak on Senior Net site for posting my christian point of view.

See ya real soon...why?  Because I like you.

Aint seed ya for a while, Ed.  Glad to see your here now.  I'm one of those long-time members, but I'm of the less photographic variety.  Anyway, good to see that avatar again!

Wow, I only joined a couple of years ago.  I didn't realize how long you had been around.  CONGRATULATIONS!!! And best for many more years.  It is indeed nice to have a Christian network to go to. 

I've been here two years now, and I've loved every minute of it.

Thanks guys.

Had a good day with Kass today.  We went out as we had no hydro.  What a great time.

Welcome to all the newbies who posted.  Good to hear from you.

Larry I am praying, Jane you too.

I have been here since day 1 also. Yep since the beginning.

I am back from my California trip. I had a good time with the family and with Willa and her family. It was so awesome to go to my home church. I stood at the door with the greeters and welcomed the people as they came in, It was the most natural thing for me to do since I was THE greeter there for years.

On the trip home I ran into all sorts of weathers. Sleet, Rain, Snow and Wind. It was an interesting trip all that weather was in California once I got into Oregon it was just rain now and then never very heavy.

   Good evening to all and to the new people that are posting.  I cannot remember how long I have been on C.P. but as soon as I post this I will .

Larry:  I hope that you are looking after yourself and just don't overdue it as it is so easy to want to do more than your body can take

Pat : Thanks for the devotional and hope that all is well please say hi to Paul.

Al:  How are things going re your health I hope that it is better.

Well may the Lord be with all who posted and God bless the rest of the week.

Happy 7TH.  ANNIVERSARY.

   Well now that I know I have been here since the begining also.  I also cannot believe that it is 7 years gone by so fast.  Good night to all.   Gord.

A big WELCOME to Celia, and as are the others, I am looking forward to seeing some of your photography.

Larry, so sad to hear you've not been well, but so glad you are now on the mend.  Please take care of Larry for us, you are special to all of us.

I have just now succeeded in getting online, as the wind was really bad this afternoon, and we couldn't get on.

I am sorting out some clothing to donate to the senior center.  We have garage sales pretty often, then what is left is picked up by the Salvation Army, or donated to people here who need it, or sent to a soldiers' home in Fort Dodge.  It is good to know it won't just be thrown into the trash, but used by  someone who needs it.

I need to get back to my sorting; I have a pile on the floor and don't want to fall over it in the night. 

See you all another day!

Congrats Christian Photographers, 7 years, wow, cool! i have been here nearly 1 year the 18th of this month and time has just slipped away so quickly.  I found this site by looking up Christian Photographers as   I wanted share phtoographs with like minded people, and be a witness for God, too,  it has been a pleasure...I occasionally pop in the Thoughts for the Week and leave a howdy. I don't always address everyone but i do enjoy others thoughts & comments. And the photo sharing I do more of but not lately-it comes & goes, the same as for any other site too...I'm glad you're here Christian Photographers!!! 

I have my two grandkids here who will be with us a few days maybe a week. and have been watching my 3m grandson while mommy n daddy work...It seems so familiar having little ones around &  have been quite enjoying them much...

Have a great, wonderful-blessed evening/morning everyone and remember---'Jesus is Lord' and 'the joy of the Lord is our strength'...

Being new here, I don't know all the persons involved, but congratulations to each who felt the calling to make the happen 7 years ago.  May the Lord bless and guide your efforts as you continue.

   Good morning to BIG SKY KEN  I thought that I was the only one that stays up late but welcome to the site and I do hope that all of us can be an encouragement to you as you share your prayer request and your needs and also go on the other parts of C.P. Well I must get to my bed as it will be soon time to get up again. 

Happy 7th. Birthday Christian Photographers!



Belated Easter greetings to all.  We went to a 10 AM service at the church with about 2,500 people and the big crowd was at an outdoor gathering - the service was real time broadcast to us while we sat in comfy seats indoors.  Then, Easter dinner & gathering with half of our children and only one grand. 

A cousin called and they arrived and have left already for Minnesota.  While she was here, we had a phone call that our auntie Maralee had died at the age of 92 - it was the flu virus at an assisted living.  So, Don and I are getting things settled here and will drive back for a funeral on Monday.

Pat:  You have not been to Virginia for a long time?  Prayers for your arm and shoulder healing.  The flowers should be blooming there now. 

Larry:  Please take it easy and rest - praying for your health and that you feel better soon.  My group sewing tonight is called "Fat Quarters" - Pat will like that name. 

Celia:  Welcome - it sounds like you have been away for a while - so come and sit down and chat with us. 

tonight is Sewing club and I don't have anything ready  and my back is sore so I need to mend and get things accomplished around here. 

Well, it's good to find out what's goin' on.  I've valued CP very, very highly these past seven years!  I really like to be able to find out what our Lords been doing in each life.  That's a blessing.

Judy - I'm up every morning by some time between 4 and 5:30.  I've always been an early riser, as I greatly enjoy those early morning hours when all is quiet.  Today I go to a place called The Coffee Break over in the next town, read the paper and whatever book I'm currently reading.  Sometimes one or more people from the church, etc. show up and we fellowship. Then Marbeth & I go over to the CoOp and purchase a few things on Senior Discount Day, then back home again.  Then I'll read here to see what new opinions, thoughts, etc. might be here by then.

Good morning...still.  What a beautiful day in Indiana.  Too nice to be inside, for sure!  I have some things I would like to do and what am I doing?  Sitting here at the laptop telling all of you 'Good Morning!'
 
I have noticed that the sod farmer is back from Florida with his wife.  For some reason Joy mowed part of my yard, all of Ivalou's and all of Kaye Don's yard yesterday!  When they are in Florida, they are neighbors of Kaye Don and Barb's.  Today I see Mel is fertilizing his sod! 

My Forsythia is in bloom and my Narcisus is blooming.  Wish I could bring some in and put in a vase but Ali would have them demolished in no time.  Perhaps I will take some to Ivalou.  They smell so good! 

It is so great to see so many posting.  Just like Easter Sunday and seeing the pews full.  CP Anniversary and the posting is outstanding!
