I have a friend....

I have a FRIEND who is......


AWESOME!! 


mighty...


strong....


powerful and gentle at the same time, 


always lends a listening ear to all my problems, frustrations, and petty arguments with other people, He is slow to anger and quick to forgive...


My Friend patiently waits for me to respond to HIS still small voice...


...in the cool of the morning......


...In the blistering heat at noonday...


.....in the cold dampness of winter...


..in the fresh spring air...


HE is ALWAYS Faithful to me!!


His mercies are new every morning, Great is Thy Faithfulness!


I have an AWESOME GOD and a wonderful Savior Jesus Christ! May all praise and honor and glory be given to HIM!




 "A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not touch you."
---Psalm 91---

I brightened and sharpened this photo.  Then made the contrast higher.  I applied vignette and soft edge effects around the border. Finally I changed the color using a vintage/old-fashioned effect. 

After I added vignette and also an old-fashioned effect

One-derful Opportunities

“Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

1 Corinthians 10:31

Ever feel you need 10 more of you to accomplish anything of significance in life? Pastor Voddie Baucham reminds us that it only takes one woman to make a tremendous difference for the cause of Christ.

1 Peter 1:4-9 

You can know where YOU will spend eternity!

God says you can be sure.....

"These things I have written unto you that believe on the Name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye HAVE eternal life." 1 John 5:13

You may be satisfied (falsely so) because you have joined a church organization- this can be dangerous for your soul's eternal state - it is false assurance.

The True Church is not an organization but an organism- like a body. 1 Cor. 12:12 You do not join it, you get BORN into it.

The Lord Jesus said, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." John 3:3

Your soul's salvation does not depend on "church membership" in any earthly church organization, but upon a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as your own Savior.
  "Christ died for the ungodly." Romans 5:6

"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." 1 John 5:12
You can find reality (and we would be glad to help you).

Be saved today- be safe- and KNOW IT!

Do you agree to the fact that... you are a sinner?

And Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died for your sins on the cross? If so, Romans 10:9 says "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." And John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." We read in John 1:12, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name."

Please make a decision NOW. Don't miss your chance to go to HEAVEN!

Those pesky forward emails... this one isn't pesky!

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.    The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room.     Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.    As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw    a hole in the wall and repaired it.     When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,    "Things aren't always what they seem"     The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very       hospitable farmer and his wife..     After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels      sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.      When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the      farmer and his wife in tears.    Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.     The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could       you have let this happen?    The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused.     The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die..    "Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied..     "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.   Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed   the wall so he wouldn't find it."    "Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife I gave him the cow instead.     Things a ren't always what they seem."    Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things  don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later...                                    Oooo     Some people           (    )    come into our lives   )  /    and quickly go..      (_ /              oooO               (    )       Some people             &nb sp; \  (        become friends                \_ )    and stay awhile...     leaving beautiful          Oooo     footprints on our         (    )       hearts...                       )  /                                          ( _/                     oooO                     (    )      and we are                      \  (          never                       \_ )      quite the same                                   because we have                                  made a good                                   friend!!    Yesterday is history.    Tomorrow a mystery.     Today is a gift.    That's why it's called the   present!      I think this is special...live and savor every    moment... This is not a dress rehearsal!         Right Now -     -somebody is thinking of you.     -somebody is caring about you.    -somebody misses you    -somebody wants to talk to you.    -somebody wants to be with you.     -somebody hopes you aren't in trouble.    -somebody is thankful for the support you have provided.    -somebody wants to hold your hand.    -somebody hopes everything turns out all right.    -somebody wants you to be happy.    -somebody wants you to find him/her.     -somebody is celebrating your successes.     -somebody wants to give you a gift.    -somebody thinks that you ARE a gift.    -somebody loves you.     -somebody admires your strength.     -somebody is thinking of you and smiling.    -somebody wants to be your shoulder to cry on.      SOMEBODY NEEDS YOU TO SEND THIS TO THEM        Never take away anyone's hope.  That may be all they have.

Smiles and Courtesy are contagious
Happiness and Kindness are the wealth of living

great song

More photos from my travels~

This was a wall made from glass with huge letters saying "departures" (at the airport)

    photographing Lossy Mouth (the sea) in Elgin, Scotland

   
     At the train station- he was enjoying his 'cuppa in the morning.
  I edited this one quite a bit as you can tell, I like the dramatic feel.
