Common Ground Coffee House #106

Good Morning Everybody,


* GASP * Did I understand you right Sue? Did you say your forcasted high for today is 40??? WOW!! Just send it over the lake and I'll be waiting for it.


I pickup my Wife and Mother-in-Law at the airport this afternoon. The house is clean & ready for feminine inspection. The laundry is done and folded, the dishes are done, and the kitchen has been mopped, and the counters, and cupboards are clean, and full, and the G-kids have been watered and fed.


There is a Christian college about 10 miles from us which is in the news for firing a cross-dressing professor. The professor was told that he could not appear on campus dressed as a woman; if he did he would be fired. He not only appeared on campus in his personna of "Julie" instead of John, but spoke openly on the campus about what he considers the discrimination against his "disorder." The college stated that as a Christian institution it could not allow behavior which didn't reflect the beliefs and values of Christianity.


The matter will now play out in an anti-discrimination hearing brought against the college. I imagine Satan is doing his little dance right now, but let's see what he does when the music stops.



All the supporters of alternative lifestyles are getting enough attention to push their beliefs. The Christian support of the college's stand has been downplayed by the media.


Sorry about the rant, but this whole matter just sickens me.


I brought in eggs, bacon, biscuits, and home fries. Enjoy.

 

Good Morning Everyone!

Hey Sue, my kids are out of school the same week Brent is! Maybe we should all pile in and "help".

Ya'll keep praying for Chris. He's been at school 4 days in a row now and we are beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel of make up work. After 4 weeks of only being at school about 3 days, there was a ton of work to do. He has to stay well and get it done or we'll be working over spring break. Honestly, it seems all the poor kid ever does is school work or migraines and I'd like for him to be able to enjoy his spring break without having to worry about school work.

Today is housecleaning day. I hate housecleaning day, but since it hasn't been cleaned, truely clean not just straightened, since, since, well since sometime ago that I can't remember, I have to clean it. This evening we are going to move out the old entertainment center and TV from the livingroom to who knows where, and bring in the new stuff(that T's dad thought we needed. ). Can't do that unless I clean.

I'm going to get interupted. This bit about the high schoolers not going in until 10:30 this week is beginning to bother me. If I'm going to accomplish anything, it'll be in the mornings while I still have a little energy. I hate having to stop what I am doing cause there is no gaurentee that I will ever get started again. Sigh, the joys of motherhood.

Ya'll have a good day and stay warm!

 

Good morning all!

It's been a few days, and I've missed you. But Barry has been very sick AND it was sunny for three days (rain again today), so, between the two of them, I got the adult work done and also cleaned out the chickens (a quarterly job) and got four of the raised vegetable beds prepared for planting next month. Three more to go... Also got in 22 miniature pyracantha for an evergreen hedge around our rose garden, added two escallonia to another area where we are extending a future hedge, and transplanted some daffodils that were in the way. So I've been rather busy. Every time I sat down at the computer I would just stare at it and play a game and then get up and keep on keepin' on!

But Barry's doing much better now, although he appears to have hurt his knee somewhere along the way. Chris was hyper yesterday. But I don't think he's sick. Dreamed last night that I took HIM to the vet's for something!

Barry and I have decided to change something. We are going to be having our big meal of the day around 11 in the morning (he usually gets up around ten because he works into the wee hours of the morning). I've done it for two days now, and we like it. We find we are not snacking from hunger nearly as much in the middle of the day. And then we don't stuff at nights, either. I'm fixing soups and such for the evening meals.

Bible Study here tonight, so, like MK, it's a housecleaning day.

God bless you all.

 

You know Ann if you didn't feed the geese too they wouldn't fertilize your front yard. :laugh:

 

I won't say anything, if you won't Ann.

Maybe the geese think they're lawn ornaments, you know the kind that you put outfits on for different seasons and holidays. They're just waiting for you to dress them [and not with potatoes and gravy either.] :laugh:

 

Don Colbert, the Christian medical doctor and nutritionist, said about proper eating:

I think you have a good start Helen.

 

40? Our lows are higher than that right now. Our highs are in the upper 70's.

 

Good Morning Everybody,


It is 6 degrees here, headed for a high of 33. :thumbs:


Sue in my daily devotional reading I found a Scripture verse that speaks about your e-bay store:
"Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store." Deuteronomy 28:5[KJV]
Whatever it is you can find it in the Bible[to even speak about ebay. :laugh:]


My Wife is home, and she is exhausted. She's in for a shock this morning. It's only 6 degrees here now. Quite a change from 70 degrees in TX.

I brought in Ham and Asparagus Puff Pancake, French Toast, Sausage, Biscuits, and Cherry Chip Scones. Enjoy.


They say that everthing is bigger in Texas, well so is my Wife's laundry.

Time to get started on my chores. My Wife got out of Texas, now it's time for me to get Texas out of my Wife's laundry.

 

That's OK, Ann, enjoy your cold weather.:laugh: I'm enjoying the warm, sunny weather here.:thumbs:

 

It was so cold this morning my breath wouldn't even show...it dropped out in ice-blocks........

By the way, I attended a church on Sunday and the movie screen was right in the centre of platform and the pulpit had been pushed to one side....I was waiting for intermission so I could go get my popcorn or crackerjacks...........I'm sure they must have concession stands too....It sure isn't church anymore!!!

Lord help us!

Cheers,

Jim:tonofbricks:

 

Boy, that must have been some cold! Glad you are still walkin' and talkin' Brother Jim. Good to see you around! :wavey:

Lady Sue, it looks like you are going to have one of those busy days ahead. Make it sure you'll have your beauty sleep.

 

Good morning all,

March has arrived with the "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute" effects that our town is noted for. I don't think we'll be down to freezing again, and the bulbs are starting to blossom. The first hyacinths and daffodils are in blossom and the first camellia opened.

I don't think Gina is reading BB anymore, so I want to bury this here for those who are following. At Bible Study on Wednesday night she asked for prayer for herself -- MRI's have shown FIVE cysts in different places in her body - including one on her spine. They are not sure what they are going to attempt yet, and more tests are pending. She deals with a lot of pain every day and is still going to college. Please keep her and her girls in prayer. As most of you know, her youngest has a severe heart defect which they are not sure what they can do about, either. It's a scary thing.

I was thinking of going back to teaching part time next year as I honestly miss it, but this is a strong call, Barry and I believe, for me to stay at home and be available for any problems that require an extra hand next door...

Today, however, is our day 'off' when Gina comes over for a few hours to watch Chris. So I am going to feed the horses and go back to bed!

Eat your hearts out....LOL

God bless you all.
