  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Our move to the retirement community might be getting closer than we thought. We signed papers yesterday, and God appears to be working things out for us. We'll have to sell or donate many things that simply won't fit in the new place (i.e. furniture, books, and items we don't really need). It's going to be a lot of work, and we'll be happy to finish the move. It's really quite an adventure, and there are still quite a few unknowns.
May the Lord go before you, be with you, and bless you in His perfect will and timing for your life :crossrc:

Praying here too, Tom and hi to Gail and to Dave.

Towards the end of the month David and I were at a doctors' conference. Unfortunately I was too late booking for the trips they organised for 'accompanying persons', so missed out on those. However, I put the time in around the venue just fine and David was finished reasonably early each day. One of the days we took two Indian doctors to visit the famous Giants' Causeway, which they thoroughly enjoyed.

On Wednesday our daughter had an appointment for a procedure to deal with her pharyngeal web, but had a phone call to say it had to be cancelled as the consultant had another appointment which couldn't be changed. We eventually got the appointment changed to a date in August, but it involved a lot of hanging around listening to music on a loop - not fun.

This evening three of us are going out for a meal with the people from the church home group that our youngest and I go to. The leader of the group and his wife are hosting the meal at their house and we will also be playing some fun games. David goes to a different home group and they had a barbecue last Friday night, which I went along to with David. Incidentally, church home groups are not home/house churches, just groups from our church who meet for Bible study and prayer about twice a month.

My laptop is playing highlight and delete without me noticing, so I'm going to finish here and stop it in its tracks. Besides, my lovely mug of green and pomegranate tea is almost finished.

Be blessed and a blessing this day,

Gillian

We just got back from our family gathering. The weather cooled off, so it was great for the kids outside. It was overcast, and we thought that it would rain any minute, but it waited until we started driving home. The kids had a ball, and we had a pretty nice fireworks display. There were sparklers and small stuff for the kids. We had grilled hamburgers and hotdogs with a variety of extras. It really couldn't have been nicer. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!

On a recent change, to Britain's 'current-status'

I am here for 'a chat'
That is the ENGLISH meaning of that word _"Non! la-France' "

:)



So, (and) firstly, I would like to believe
that most TRUE-BLUE Americans, might feel, as this picture 'intimates'

11693827_10153476962301450_3018919037948748420_n.jpg



That being 'the-case' (?)
I would suggest, that you view
'what I am about to link-to' as if I held, those, very-same feelings

¬
To be eaten-away from the inside out _ with 'Brussels'
the PR HEAD of the Mafia _becoming ever-greedier, over time
and reaching their 'fingers of power' to our street level
via Governmental-influence, upon our cities and, their governance

Watch >>>> over the coming days
those who will, from out of sight 'pull the strings' of our government
while they,
'arrange' for catastrophes, massive lay-offs (redundancies)
and blame it all on >> Brussells(et-al)'s response / revenge (et cetera)


Apparently, our departure from our 'Allies Common Market'
can still be cancelled in a parlimentary vote

Here is something you may find interesting ??




another source ~ https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/bbcqt?source=feed_text&story_id=10153679793882217


Whereas, NOT EVERYONE is so-gullible (to believe, either Blair or Cameron)

If I had 'the say' ~to commit them to it
I would put them on the MINIMUM WAGE ~plus expenses..
upon the furnishing of genuine receipts
~for legitimate and necessary expenditure from their earnings

Travel expenses and costs ....whenever did they pay ME such a luxury

SHAME THEM !!

Willy Wilson Let's face it with the infighting on both parties we have had the most important referendum for a generation and we have lost any clout to hit the EU hard with. Instead of going in on a position of strength we now look like beggars. Trigger article 50 and show not just the EU but the rest of the world we are Britain and open for buisness to billions of people not just 500_ mill.

Here here :oldthumbsup:
The EU, barred Britain from open trade with it's former commonwealth countries ??? ALLIES ???
We are now FREE to trade with EVERYBODY \o/

I also recall that trip to a conference that Cameron used his-own plane, for
We (the country) paid that bill

AND when he got, to where he was going, he took 'time-off'
to visit a vineyard, for some 'plonk' ~'we', paid for-that !!!

The Newspaper Headline read: "Cameron, Wot a Plonker"

I think I know 'WHERE' to look for-it

Gosh so-late... gotta-go

But God-willing I will see the sun tomorrow (if that cloud would move-along)
no harm in hinting, that i would like that
I'd like to catch-up with Mary too, but, 'I will wait upon the Lord' and His-will for me
:amen:

Amen! I'll also wait upon the Lord and know that we are still here for a purpose. May we all yield to God's perfect will for us.

So, I am going to head-off for a bit
~to do some further-'scanning' of, older film-negatives

Now that my image-posting 'problem', has thankfully, \o/ been overcome, by 'Tech Admin'
I can get back to re-publishing OLD & NEW photos ~to replace those 'LOST during the Software Changeover

We're trying to make some improvements to our home and get it ready to sell. The exterior is now clean, caulked, and painted - looks really nice. The man who did it was very reasonable on his prices. I hope we do as well on the rest that has to be done on the inside.

Your image showed up fine, Dave. I see you've been having problems with the hospital over your hernia. Praying something good will happen soon and you'll be aware of God's presence with you at this troubled time.

I have an ultrasound booked for the third week of this month on my hernia 'hangout'
and another ultrasound scan booked for the end of the month
for my 'annual' heart-check and ECG EXAMs


Worst, experience so-far.....
Is that the monthly premium for my car insurance ~leaves me, with so-little to manage-on, for, THAT 'week'
(was last-week) This week, The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office, also withdrew
the twice-yearly Car-Tax payment [a scheduled 'standing-order' ] that I did not see coming [£96.oo / $150.oo]
not until the store told me ~that my card was 'declined' .....
I had no idea of how 'without funds' I was, GOING-TO-BE ....this-week also

However, the Freezers, still have 'plenty of ingredients' for cooked-meals
needing-only of, sauces, condiments and cooking :oldthumbsup:

Yes, we don't need a whole LOT of-money, but when that is short (or, absent)
life, begins to look very-uncertain indeed
