COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #85

So am I the only one around today?

I was off Friday, and have thoroughly enjoyed the 4-day weekend! I bought a new computer, so have spent most of yesterday afternoon and today getting it set up correctly. Wow...they have so much junk pre-loaded. took quite awhile to uninstall the junk, and add what I wanted. But I think it's finally in good enough working order to stop tinkering with it for awhile!

Have to go back to work tomorrow, so am trying to do all the stuff I should have done WAY before now...like laundry!

 

Hi, CJ. It seems that everyone is busy today.

Sue is surfing the internet looking for people who are on a safe list to notify relatives. She looks for one person a day, but has to look through many lists.

We had a small picnic on our patio.

All is quiet here.

 

I pretty much stuck to my plans today and didn't accomplish much of anything. I did take a shower, even though it wasn't on the agenda. Everyone was glad I did.

 

Had a lazy Labor Day around here, too.

 

Sorry...off topic for a minute..."Falls Creek" is the name of a manuscript I'm working on!

Now...back on subject!

 

Morning all:

Praising God this morning about TaterTot. Still praying for Blackbird, though. If I can be of any help in finding him, please, let me know. I'll do what I can.

This morning is cooler, 68 degrees. The humidity is higher though as is the barometric pressure.

Sunday services were great. We had an EXCELLENT Sunday School lesson and I can see the unity in our church. I pray it continues and we continue to grow as we go out and witness and try to help meet the needs of the community. Bro. Monty preached a SUPER sermon, and the Lord really gave him liberty to preach. I haven't seen that liberty upon him in a long time. Praise the Lord!

We had a great fellowship afterwards, a cookout and buffet and just a great time talking about the Lord and plans for the church. The three preachers, of which I am one, and our wives and the music leader were all talking until after 4pm and had some really great ideas, prayer and just felt the peace of the Lord come over us about the direction HE wanted us to go! GOD IS SO GOOD! Amen?

Viv and I mowed yesterday around the house with the push mower. The riding mower is now in the shop at the Co-Op in Shelbyville and we're looking forward to it being fixed! We took it in the van, which broke down four times on the way down and back. So, we know the van has to be fixed and sold. We're looking for an older pickup that has air conditioning and an automatic transmission. Please pray the Lord will provide one for us. We truly DO need it.

God bless ya'll and give you a wonderful day!

Good Morning everyone!

Fall allergies have struck in force at this household! I don't have allergies and I am draining and have a sore throat. Everyone else is worse so I am not complaining.

With everyone suffering so much I need to move the guinea pigs back upstairs to their room. For the most part they don't bother us, but the hay they eat added to the ragweed that's blooming is just to much. I have the idea that the hay and bedding being right in the living room with us is part of the reason I can't get Son's migraines completely under control.

Right now the guinea pig room is being used to store all the stuff T brought home when he changed offices, so I have to rearrange it before the cages will fit. That'll take most of the morning. Then I have a dust ruffle, pillow shams and a table cloth to make for a customer. Then I have to go to the doctor! Ya'll won't see much of me today.

I'm thrilled that Tater Tot is okay and still praying for Blackbird.

Thanks for the rice crispies, see ya later!

 

Sue, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not planning on going anywhere. Sent you an email......

That's good to hear!!!

 

Tony, glad things are going well with the Church.

Menagerie, the guinea pigs have their own room?? They must be spoiled critters!


I'll be going in the morning for the first of ten radiation treatments. Let's pray that they will take care of it. The thought of chemo again makes me sick!!

 

Praise the Lord Blackbird and family are safe as are TaterTot and family! Thanks for keeping us updated, Sue. I have prayed for them often during the past week.

Gayla, will be praying your radiation treatments will be enough and that you don't have to go through chemo again.

 

Great news about Blackbird. Is all of our BB family accounted for now?

 

Morning all:

Praise the Lord for answered prayer concerning Bro. blackbird! God is GOOD...ALL THE TIME! Amen?

It's really foggy here this morning and a bit cooler! I'm glad of that. It's supposed to get upwards to 90 today, but I don't mind. I'll be inside most of the day because of the pollen counts.

Gayla we are praying for your radiation treatments as well.

I'm really looking forward to tonight at church. Though we are currently meeting in a home on Wednesday night and another on Sunday, it is still a blessing to be with a group of loving, caring individuals, ready and willing to serve the Lord Jesus Christ! It's EXCITING to be a part of a new work, A LIGHTHOUSE in the community! Many have been coming to visit and we're looking for more to come tonight.

If anyone's interested, the church's website is: Faith Community Church of Christiana, TN We are planning on a "Fall Festival" to take the place of Halloween this year, and we're hoping to have a good number of children and adults from the area to come.

Will be praying for all of ya'll today. Be good, be kind, be careful.

Good Morning and Praise the Lord that Blackbird is fine!

Gayla, there's not a single spoiled creature in this house. Okay, maybe just a little! In this case though, the guinea pig room in a room size closet that the previous owners installed to make use of some of the room that is going to waste in the attic. It is only about 6 foot wide, but is 20 foot long. It has lights and airconditioning and everything. We had to put them up there because one of the dogs enjoyed trying to kill them. Most of the time we leave the door open so they can still hear the house noise and the veggie bags rattle(their favorite noise).

I'm praying that your chemo goes well this morning and we can have another PTL this pm when you get home.

I'm having a bit of a hassle going on this morning getting proper doctor's excuses for Precious, and she needs medicine that I have to take to her but Son is home with a migraine and sound asleep. And I have sewing to get done. I need ya'll to pray that all this will resolve itself. It's going to be one of those days.....
