Welcome to a place where Philippians 2:3 is practiced: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

I live in my own little world. But it's OK... They know me Here!

Next Sunday, a special collection will be taken to defray the cost of the new carpet. All those wishing to do something on the new carpet will come forward and get a piece of paper.

LOL! 🙂

Reminds me of how we got our kitty, Puddin'. He was left on the church doorstep along with his mother and brother, with a note from the previous owner asking for a good home for all. My minister took them into the sanctuary overnight so they would be warm until he could find homes for them the next day. They certainly took advantage of "doing" on the carpet that night! :^O

ALL THE DIFFERENCE
(Author Unknown)

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?"
I wondered,
He answered, "You didn't ask".
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on grey and bleak,
I wondered why God didn't show me,
He said "But you didn't seek".
I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock".
I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day:
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.

I just bought the 2 VHS movie "King of Kings" to watch with the kids tonight. It was my favourite one when I was little. Jeffrey Hunter as Jesus with those incredible blue eyes...striking.

Anyone have a favourite Bible/Christian movie?

Hello to Shirley, Nellie, Stripe of Zebra and anyone I missed, thanks for the waves MLM and the welcome back TOB. Hi to Ramona flying by!

I am laughing at myself. I have jumped up and down in frustration over my computer--I finally took a walk on the beach after a couple of hours. Prayed my prayers--as an afterthought, threw in my computer problems. I have had many conversations with my IPS. Can't prove this was an answer to one, but believe it was a definite nudge. My prayers were able to be answered, but I wasn't going about it the correct way. Finally crawled down and got my customer #, called Dell, and an hour or so later, I am back. Thanks Ravi!, you are very patient and thank you God for nudging this stubborn old lady in the right direction. My problems with this may not be completely over but at least I know where to go now.

[survivornikki]

Oh I don't like admitting this, I am going to have to actually read these books that come with computers, but just it case it takes me a year or two to get round to it, what is that ctrl/alt/del you are telling me to quit using? He has added Firefox to my computer. Do I want that?

MLM--unexpected company coming for dinner so I am running back and forth from tasks to computer. I will answer your email when I am not just dashing off a reply. I enjoy your emails so much.:-x
