Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

The ceremony is a long thing in the church.  It is almost a full service, there is singing, and a complete sermon.  The sermon lasts for about an hour.


And they are standing for the entire sermon.


Then they kneel and the pastor prays a prayer of blessing for them.


Their parents come on both sides and pray a prayer of blessing for them.  I thought this was extremely touching, each one of their parents prayed for them, their mothers and fathers.


Then they themselves have to pray for their own wedding.  I don't think you could ever talk an American bride or groom into doing this at their own ceremony for everyone to hear over a microphone.
A watched clock never boils.

Mike, this is all so very interesting.  I am impressed. 
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass .... it's about learning to dance in the rain!
