Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

I'll bet you thought this chap was in the Vatican (no not the Pope) This is, believe me, the original sculpture that Michaelangelo made of Moses, the one in the Vatican is just a copy, Moses like me loves being in the shade when its sunny and hot as it was today, actually the sun never shines on this side of the building.

Now then, why is Moses sprouting horns? I don't know the answer to this, I thought in that the amount of times Moses pleaded for the Children of Israel, they represented the horns on the alter that a penitent would grasp, confessing his sin before the sacrifice was made. Some say this was a mistake by Michaelangelo, I don't know the story of that.

Carpe Diem, I may have had latin shoveled down my throat at school, i.e. parrot fashion, but I don't know the translation of this either, any takers?

Must have something to do with that sitting in front of bar and cocktail lounge??? ;D

I googled Carpe Diem-I only looked as far as Wikipedia--Here's their explanation and more---http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpe_diem
God's Word is truth, You can trust and believe what he says more than any human word!!!--"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him;I will be with him in trouble,I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." 

Achievements & Blessings...

The school Pat and Murray went to had Carpe Diem as the logo.  I was always told it meant "Seize the Day".

Now I will see what you found out.  LOL I guess I was told right!
