COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #33

Hi Sue,

So what will you do with this unexpected day off work?

Sheila

 

Sue, sorry you are not feeling well again. Do you damp dust? that is a lot easier and also does your vacuum cleaner have a filter system?

Hope you soon feel better?

Blessings

Sheila

 

Blackbird! The halftime show was on at 8:30 HERE. Church is at 6:00.

Betty, you may have seen just as bad or worse on those Survivor type shows or soap operas but it sure shocked me! Thankfully Nick was playing in his room.

Sue, sorry about the broken down truck and you having to miss work. I'm sure the police can figure something out but shoot.....

We'll be heading out to swim lessons in just a minute so I won't be on til late today. Hope everyone has a great day!

Diane

 

Diane,

Have a great time

Sheila

 

No, I have not seen just as bad or worse. I just looked at the link of the picture here on the Baptist Board.

Even if I did see it, I would not describe it in detail or link a picture to it here on the Baptist Board. That's what shocked me!

And yes, we were still in church at this time.

 

Sorry folks, but I have to say I am surprised that so many kept watching with the raunch that was already taking place before the incident. I saw the clip on Euronews this morning.

All the more reason to "love not the world or the things of the world."

Super Bowl half-times were not worth watching when I saw my last one in 1994. I was not really surprised when I saw what happened, especially considered who was "performing"

Sorry to be so negative .

 

I am with you, Roger. I refuse to view professional sports on the Lord's Day anyway. Still, the world has its own rights to behave as it pleases, and we ought not to be shocked at anything this world has to offer. Some Christians like to make big issues over nothing. It wastes a lot of time and accomplishes little for the Lord.

We patronize shops on Sunday and then wonder why people have little use for the church. There was a time in Canada when Sunday was officially the Lord's Day, and all shops were closed. Now Sunday is wide open, and who is at fault? We hypocritically protesteth too much! A Sabbath Day's journey was approximately 1/3 of a mile.

Cheers,

Jim

 

I'm with you Christ4Kildare, I would not have been watching it even if I had been home. I can't stand the music in the first place, not to mention the gyrations that go with it.

 

Good morning folks! Hope you had a blessed day in the house of the Lord yesterday? Judging by the remarks I read above, the Patriots won? BTW, I do not watch American football. I am more or less a baseball fan. So, for me there is now sport from the end of October to the beginning of April.

We had Evangelist Ron Hood in our church yesterday. We know him and support him for over 10 years. His wife, Barbara, and their youngest son, Joseph, were accompanying him. They were quoting entire chapters of the Bible, and were also asking the audience to give their favorite Bible verse reference and they would recite it. They specialize on Bible verse memorization. Following the first service they were our guests, together with the Pastor and his wife, the church pianist, and another young couple. So we were 10 around the table! Lenke, my wife made a great lunch.... everybody enjoyed it. Then she gave doggy bags for everyone to take home with them.

This morning early, I was doing the dishes. We had three washings in the machine, and the fourth one was just placed in there a short while ago. But I am used to this. I often say, "My wife is the mixer upper and I am the fixer upper!"

My computer is still on the fritz, so I am resorting to use my old one, which is about 360 MHz in speed - compared to the 1.3 GHz of the new. I hope something will give, and I can get back to my new computer. Have a nice day all!

 

Just a quick hello! We left around 8 or before for swimming lessons. It's only about 22 miles to the ladies facilities but it's 22 miles of back country roads. Today's lesson lasted until 10:30~ She wanted to get a feel for each child's abilities and she chose to separate the class into two groups. There were 3 boys who are 11 and up and 3 other children who are so-so swimmers. The other 6 children, including my Nick, are non-swimmers. The 'swimmers' will have the early lesson and Nick's group will begin at 9:45 from now on so I'll not have to get up and out so early from now on! What a NEAT place! The lady has horse back riding lessons (inside) as well as a petting zoo area, parrots, cockatiels and parakeets, big loving dogs, outdoor play gyms, volleyball, etc. She runs 'day camps' during spring break and the summer time with her two grown kids. She's about my height and close to my age but just sweet as can be.

Off to clean and do our school work! We've gotten a late start with swimming lessons but I think swimming is VERY important.... especially for a child who has a non swimming mom... like ME!

LOLOLOL
Diane

 

Whatever happened to global warming ?

It has warmed up here, about 12°C but the winds are up to about 60mph at the moment!

I'll join the rest a suggest swimming lessons for Diane as well

 

Global warming (or the lack there-of) is a political hot potato!

Diane - get in the "Bug Tub" with Nick and learn to swim.

Our granddaughter, Abigail, talked to us last Monday and informed us that "We are having a baby!" Seeing that Abigail is only five - the only possible conclusion we could come to was that Kelly and Elizabeth are having their fourth child (come August).

I ask Kelly if he knew what caused this condition to occur - he chuckled.

Abigail told us that she wants a baby sister - as she already has two brothers.

Now don't you think that NaNa and PopPop are both smiling!

Dan - I can't wait!
