Christian Photographers Community

Sunshine this morning....in between showers.  No sign of the painters and everything is on 'wait' at the moment.  So I am going to wash and vac. floors.  This is a well established and highly rec. painter, so he will appear.  Time for that dreaded word, patience, again!

I agree with Pat and Etta Sue.  Especially:

Quote"Abstain from all appearance of evil." 

The world loves to point a finger at Christians.  Pat and I think alike about Christian values and living by them.  God doesn't make mistakes, but we can and do.  So know that you are cared about and loved here on CP, Marilyn, and everyone wants the very best for your life.

Pleasant Day/Evening and God Bless.

Well I thank you very much Pat. You brought up all the things that Michael and I have discussed.  From the very beginning I wanted it made known that Jesus is my Number 1 priority and that  Jesus HAD to be  Number 1 in his life as well. I don't want to be anyone's Number 1. When he comes here it is not just to meet me but to meet the family and my church family, also to attend church with me. I have also informed him that there will be no staying at my house and no sleeping together outside of marriage. Both of us have been doing a lot of praying and soul searching , we feel like God is the one who brought us together even though we have not met in person. God doesn't make mistakes but that doesn't mean that we don't make mistakes. Michael and I just want to let God lead the way in His time not ours. God is in Control and God is good all the time. I also made it quite clear that prayer is a big part of my life and  I expect it to be a big part of his as well.

As far as Bebe is concerned, she does not take well to strangers, people have to let her come to them first. He is going to have to tolerate my babies and love them too.. He has an older German Shepherd (14). I threw that in my earlier post sort of offhanded.  Guess I should have left that out.

Thank you Marilyn...

I will continue to pray for both you and Michael. 

Me too, Marilyn.   I think it would be so wonderful for you to find real love, Godly love in a new husband.  I don't want you to be hurt.  If Michael is the one God has for you, nothing will stand in your way.  If not, I'm praying that you see the truth right away and count your blessings for the ability to get out before having
committed your life to this man.  He could be a wonderful Christian man, able to have a loving relationship with a wife.  I sure don't know.  I just know to be very careful.  And you will.   Nita

Coo.....wish I had known you ladies 31 years ago to have given me a little marriage counselling! Such sound advice! Remember marriage is not a word....it is a sentence!
Can I post a picture of a car boot for the contest or does that not apply?

Pat - does Boots know about this challenge?

I have no idea, Al! 

Colin, ask away, we can still offer you advice!    Say, do you have an Easter poem that I could read at the Care Home Good Friday service?  I've been asked to read a poem, and I would really like it, if it could be one of yours.  Thanks.

I worked today, after getting maybe 2 hours' sleep last night, so am tried.  I was head cook again today, and I made some AWESOME bread!    I brought one roll home for Darrel, now he says I have no excuse not to make bread more often!

Another lovely day today, and I do need to go walk.  Darrel is going to a Scout meeting this evening, to talk to them about Scuba diving.

Ruth Ann, I do believe the timing of when the baby there received a new heart would have worked with when our little guy's heart was "harvested."  I hope that baby does well and lives a long and happy life.

I need to go make and drink a Reliv shake!

Thank you all for your sweet thoughts on my sons near accident - what a caring and thoughtful group you have been, always and with each and everyone. 

Marilyn:  Everyone wishes you the love you deserve and I just want you to be very careful with your heart.  Everything will work out for the Glory. 

I have three pairs of hiking boots, one pair is ancient. 

Very involved right now with umpteen things.  This is retirement?

Awww Janet you are so nice! I never wrote an Easter poem as such but I think I have a few that would suit the bill so to speak. I shall have a little look.

Hi Carol!  I'm so glad that your sons are alright!

Hi Colin!  Will be nice to see your poems on here too don't forget!

Hi Don!  Pull up a chair and make yourself comfy here in our CP Coffee Shop!   

I forgot to tell y-all thank you for yoru prayers, I do appreciate them and want you to keep on praying for us.

I have finished the flannel shirt and now to tidy up, did cleaning, enjoyed the sunshine, and a little later I put a chicken in my Pampered Chef roasting pan for dinner,  ironstone is heavy but the finished product was delicious.

Pat:  I got your reply so will give it a try for the next time I start the computer.  

Earlier today I phoned Moen and a new part for the kitchen tap is already in the mail  and yes no charge.

I will be checking out the photo's

Hi everyone.  I seldom read here twice a day but decided to do so this evening.  I spent a couple of hours with the man who is replacing me as the new webmaster for our church.  I think he will do fine and he is ready to take on the challenge.  He got here at meal time and Pat had prepared for him hoping he would dine with us and he did.  He and his wife have three of the cutest little girls you could every want to see.

Marilyn, I join with the others in saying I hope you and Michael find a great compatibility and happiness.  Pat has written some very good words to ponder and it sounds like from what you have said that you both had considered these matters.  You know that we all feel a great deal of Christian love for you and so our comments are out of our concern for you.  If we didn't care we wouldn't bother. 

I should be able to pickup my laptop in the morning.  It apparently was overheating because of the dust that has infiltrated it and probably a lot of cat hair from when we had Mr. Tiggers.  The technician said it had run without problem since I took it in yesterday morning and he thought that what was needed was to tear it apart and give it a good cleaning.  I could do that with my desktop but don't want to tackle that with the laptop so will pay the price to have someone do it.

It's a bit unusual for an old preacher like me, but I don't know what to say!  It's almost 10 o'clock on our eastern seaboard, and no posts yet!  Come on, now - post.

Ok Al you convinced me....

Marilyn I join the others with a warning of caution.... Please take your time and don't rush into something that later you may regret.  Love you sis.

Pat how is the snow there any melting at all???  We got a skiff up here but believe me you  and Ruth have MUCH more than we do.

After the excitement of the night before last the dogs were quiet last night.  The night before last Gyp got out of his kennel and was frollicking around the house.  The other 2 kenneled dogs thought that wasn't fair and they barked ALL NIGHT.  Not realizing Gyp was out I kept checking the bedroom window, and saw nothing of interest.  Thinkiung there was a cat outside meowing I ignored the barking.  What a mess we woke up to....all the garbage was torn apart, and scattered through the living room and kitchen.  He stayed in the kennel last night.  I was just thankful that there were no doggie messes on the floor anywhere.

The girls are enjoying March break as am I.  What are the rest of you up to this year for March Break?

Have a great day
Love in Him JudyB

Marilyn ~ Thanks for the reassurance.  You know we love you or we wouldn't voice our concerns.  May God bless you in all you do. 

Today is Red Hats Day and we are going to the Flower and Patio Show at the Indiana State Fair Grounds.  First we are going to a new Golden Corral in Noblesville and then to the Show.  Since there will only be 5 of us, I am going to drive.  Should be lots of fun.  I didn't walk my 20 minutes at home this morning...figured I will be doing that at the Show.  It is suppose to get to 52°F but it is only 33°F right now.  Bright and sunny and my solar heat is working!

Hi Al! 

It's 10:20 here in Guelph and I thought I'd just sit a spell here with my coffee and read posts. 

I have a very busy day ahead of me.

Hi Judy and Etta Sue!

You both were posting while I was typing here.

Gosh I spoil you guys! I was playing in a packed hall one night when I noticed a lady sitting with tears in her eyes and crying into a hankie. I thought my music was really moving her and later on I asked if that was the case. No!....she replied....I am a music teacher!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

That's a good one, Colin!   

COLIN!!!  It's wonderful to see you playing that boom box!  Wow!  You clean up well! 

Looking at it again, nice to see your wheelbarrow there but it's filled with earth!  You better get that gardening done!! 

Pat - that laughing man  rolling around on the ground looks big and heavy - I hope he isn't too heavy for the website.

Wonderful music Colin. Your lovely garden is so nice and green, I looks  very large.

You guys are a tonic! That video was taken last spring and the wheelbarrow is still full of "moul" . 6th. March was the anniversary of my Father's death and it is hard to believe it was just over a year ago he passed away. I miss him ever day.
Thinking about hospitals and that.....my friend Martin was in a couple of days or so as he was not too well. A nurse came round and asked him if he wanted a bed pan. My goodness.....he says....have you to do your own cooking in here as well!

Our dear friend Janet is looking a poem for Easter and I have one or two which would suit so I will post them and she can choose.

Oh, Colin... 

Thank you for sharing that poem with all of us.

Colin!  You've made my morning.  Your video is so neat. I didn't know you were a musician as well as a poet.  You're just all around so talented and gifted.  And besides you have a classy wheelbarrow and you're Irish.    The poem is beautiful.  I'm sure Janet will find it just what she wanted.

I'm still wanting to get a small keyboard.  Something I can plug my headset into and play music in the middle of the night.  My piano is completely blocked with my granddaughter's things. (we don't have much room here)  I keep looking and thinking and thinking more.  Maybe when I get my economic stimulus portion, I'll make them happy and spend it.   I miss making music.

Al, you finally got everyone to posting.   See how influential you are.  And old is a state of mind.  You can't be old because that would make me old too.

Gotta go and hold a baby or something.  Blessings, Nita

Hi everyone.  I just finished lunch and am waiting for Pat to get back from the grocery store so I can help her unload the car and then will take a little nap.  I spent an hour or so with one of the folks from the Golden Games working on some of the applications.  I expect the final 100+ applications to be delivered to me tomorrow.  The goal is to have all the paperwork done before Monday as there is a meeting where they need to provide reports to the event managers for the various games.

Nita, I have a Yahama Electric Piano that has a lovely piano tone and a lot of other voices and it wasn't very expensive.  Unfortunately I seldom get around to playing it.  Maybe I will do so this afternoon.  I can use headphones with it and just play for my own pleasure although enjoy the music.  I have it set up on a stand but it can be set on end and the stand folded up so it would take very little room.

Colin, you are riot.  I love your little jokes.

Tonight is our anniversary dinner at our church.  It was 30 years ago this month that our congregation began in a schoolhouse.  We moved our choir practice to tomorrow night so we wouldn't have to leave the fellowship hall until the planned program is over tonight.
