COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #15

There's Brother Barnabas....You and wife have a wonderful and safe visit with family and friends in Budapest. It is a very short stay though. I like a month when I go to England, although I did go over for a week-end one time.

Cheers, God bless,

Jim

 

We sure will miss you, Barnabas, and wish you a safe and very enjoyable trip! Do you have family still there?

Diane

 

Jim, just curious...why are you wishing us a "Happy Holiday", referring to Yom Kippur? No problem...just think it a little odd since the name of this website is "Baptist Board".

Do any of you read along with the "Bible Reading Plan" Clint posts? I am staying up with the reading every day and am enjoying it immensely!! I've never tried to read from 4 different books of the Bible at one time, and I am finding it quite challenging...yet extremely enlightening!! I LOVE reading God's Word! Gets my day off to such a great start!

 

Long story, short....There was a long gap between conversations,,,half one to 6....So, to break the silence, figuring everyone must be on holiday (which is a vacation to Americans), I said Happy Holiday.

Then Blackbird came on and asked what holiday? Not having any specific bank holiday in mind, I responded with the day it is, Yom Kippur..it is the Jewish Day of Atonement, which was later stated to Blackbird when he enquired.

It was a joke, of sorts..It had no significance..it was fluffing words....it was a filler of no consequence or significance....

Breathe...breathe.... Nevermind, I am English!

Cheers,

Jim

 

Well, now that you explained it, it's really pretty funny!!!

I AM breathing...I'm just a little slow on "British humor"!!

 

Well, CJ, if you don't pose the question, you will never get the answer...I have the same time with American humour at times.

Never be afraid to ask me if something is not clear.

Cheers,

Jim

 

OK! We're takin' the plunge into the deep end with our homeschoolin' kids---we are fixin' to enter the realm of foreign language--first up--Spanish!

Now, ya'll know Blackbird, don't ya'll??? He ain't no good with the good "King's English"---but we gotta learn! We just gotta!

"Scotty! Slow to impulse power! Shields up!"

Good Morning Barnabas, Watchman and Dr.B. (our nightowl)!

Not yet Sue. This will be the National League Championship Series. But I too would like to see them make the World Series.
OOPS! I got so excited I skipped that part didn't I? I am glad to see you made it down this far Watchman and I hope you will stop in often and take a break from the debate forums!

Sue an understandable mistake by an anxious fan!
I do have a look at this forum everyday, but do not have much to say since when I post everyone is signed off (Dr. B. is not the ONLY nightowl here!)
Yes, I do need a break once in awhile from the argue, er, ah, debate forums.

 

Good morning to those who brave the wee hours, although this is no wee hour I make my face show, is it?

I have been on the go this morning since five, but still puzzling on this morning's devotional passage.

When I get around to writing it, read the verses that Watchmen wrote in beforehand.

Cheers,

Jim

 

I'm in favor of having Indian Summer -- all winter long. I hate the cold!

Barnabas - have a good trip! Are there no internet connections in Budapest that you can hook up to?

Sue - protect those babies at the cross walk!!

Jim - I'm a waitin' to see what you have to say today in the Coffee Shop Chapel!!

Dan

 

Good morning folks! Well now, we have only four teams left in the competition, the Cubs, Marlins, Red Sox and Yankees. We will be in Hungary when these teams will battle out for the championship.... naturally, we are rooting for the Yankees.

Brother Dan, yes, there will be internet connections where I will go, but time will be very limited because we have so much to do in very little time.

Brother Jim, Diane, Sue, and Dan, thank you all for the good wishes toward our trip! We will leave at 11:55 PM Thursday night, and arrive there at 2:00 PM (10:00 AM EST) on Friday. Until then I will be posting here and there, for there are a lot of things to do before the flight... Have a nice day all!

 

I thnk I am back...I have had more disruptions this morning than ever..phone,,phone..knockers...and this all started at half 6 this morning........

Cheers to everyone,

Jim

Dan...I was a little jerky this morning with devotions..I had a lot of questions about the passage....."Lord, are there few that be saved?"

 

Brother Jim, you think, therefore you are! Hope your day will be winding down from here on...

Sue, don't work too hard! BTW, do you have a picture of yourself in uniform?

 

HI All, Just checking in for a minute and then off again.

Nick got bit by 3 mosquitos while I was on the phone with Helen yesterday. Both arms and one ankle are badly swollen so we had a doctor visit first thing this morning and are JUST coming in. He put Nick on Prednisone for 5 days. He's had swelling a lot worse than this but this swelling came on very quickly even with him taking Zyrtec daily, Benadryl as soon as we saw the bites, Motrin and cortisone cream! Doctor is sending him to an allergist. Said he's not sure there's desensitizing agents YET for mosquitos but that the allergist might be able to help us better control these reactions. Can you imagine being 8 and having to spend months hiding from mosquitos! I ALWAYS spray him..... but yesterday, middle of the day, he went out in a short sleeved shirt and without socks.

Take a deep breath,,,,,,phewwwwwww,,this must be hectic Tuesday...Big Macs are a dollar and you only have 99 cents.

Removed an old chimney to dispose of a gas furnace and discovered a gas leak...How wonderful the Lord is. We donated the furnace to one who couldn't afford to buy one and discovered the gas leak....That could have given us an explosion this winter with woodfires burning....

Cheers,

Jim
