COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #17

Good Morning!

I got so relaxed crocheting last night that I got really sleepy. I knew if I got on the computer to tell ya'll good night I would get woke up again. So I just went to bed!

48ºF here this morning. 63ºF high for today.

Off to check other forums. Be back in a few.

 

Did everyone sleep in this morning?

I am off to the 'corner' and will leave you with this thought:

Moments

Happy moments, Praise God.

Difficult moments, Seek God.

Quiet moments, Worship God.

Painful moments, Trust God.

Every moment, Thank God.

TTFN!

 

Hello everyone

I hope you are all ok. I had a really bad night, then we had a power cut til 9.15, then eventually I got myself off to the university library to search out some journals and do so photocopying. I have not long been home. I hope you all have a good day. I will be round and about.

Blessings

Sheila

 

Morning Sheila: Sorry you had a bad night.

I have laundry to do and a kitchen that needs cleaning, so I won't be back until I take a break for lunch.

HAGD!

 

Hi Sue,

OK, will talk to you later.

God Bless

Sheila

 

Good morning, or almost mid day. Stopped in to see whats new then got some kitchen work to do, and later laundry.

 

Good morning to all...afternoon, Sheila.

I have been on and off, round and about this morning. Busy times when we have elections. I get rather busy writing speeches for some candidates amongst other ongoing chores.

Sheila was so kind to send me a repair kit for glasses and I was showing it off in the village. Even got to help adjust another blokes glasses. Sheila and her kit were the talk of the town to-day. She is now famous in Canada. Isn't that great?

Cheers for now,

Jim

 

Jim,

I had a much needed eye test yesterday. I have to wait until the week end for my new specs. I took my Greek New Testament with me and told the optician "I want to be able to read this". I think she got the message. I am looking forward to studying Greek again without all the characters merging into a watery blur

Blessings

Sheila

 

Sheila, I can appreciate that. You will be getting jots and tittles, which belong in Hebrew. En archai en o logos......did I get it right? It has been awhile for me....

Cheers,

Jim

 

Jim, I dunno...it has been a while for me too. I have a lot of catching up to do. I could never see the "i". Imagine the confusion that can cause. No wonder I only got a grade C.

Blessings

Sheila

 

Jim, I can't make Hebrew out at all. It is just one long blur to me.

Hey, I have noticed...I think I am catching you up.

Sheila

 

Sorry, I went off to lunch with Mary in village.
My Hebrew is next to nothing these days...Greek is a little shady too. I used to read it on a regular basis, but stay with English now.

I have three pairs of glasses. I don't know why so many of the old theological books were in such small print. The new books are not so bad, except the footnotes are always so small.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Jim,

I was having to get Rob to read the footnotes to me

Maybe three years is a little too long to go without an eye test

Blessings

Sheila

 

I remember the one lad in the college where I taught whose eyes were so bad he used a large magnifying glass like the one commonly shown with Sherlock Holmes. The classmates went shopping and bought him a hat like Sherlock Holmes and presented it to him in class one day. It was quite a chuckle, and he wore it to boot.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Yes, I have an eye examination every year and get new spectacles every two years,,,sometimes just new lenses. My reading glasses last longer,,maybe every four years or so.

Cheers,

Jim

 

It is really quiet in here.

Back to the books, I will look in later.

Bye for now,

God Bless

Sheila

 

I got to looking for the name of a song last night and stayed online until after 1:00 a.m. The phone rang at 8:30 and woke me!

Still have not found the name of the song but did find a not so great copy of it on a tape we have here. I can use it if I have to....

Been sending out resumes and doing job searches for Jim while Nick does his school work. It keeps us both pretty quiet. LOL

Diane

 

Well, Diane! Why don't you tell us the name of the
song so we can help you look?!?

:-D

:-D

 

LOL! Know what I did? Since I have the music and the words, I just used the first line of the song as the title so I could give our minister of music a 'song name' to list in the bulletin. I have 8 weeks to try and find the REAL name but I'm sure it'll be okay. My little ones are going to sing 'How on Earth Can God's Baby Sleep' and 'Rock-a My Soul'. You should SEE them! They get to rockin their little souls! LOL

Diane

 

Good afternoon all -
Jury duty over for today - have to go back again tomorrow.

I am supposed to see the eye doctor on a yearly basis. Currently - when I get new specs - they work well for three of four months - then things start to get a little blurry again.
