Hello, folks, and a very happy anniversary to Larry and Pat Hanna.

I have been away all day, just got home.  Beth was going to Dodge City to meet another of her NF Chat Room friends, so I went with her.  This guy (name is Joe) and his wife were very nice, and we really enjoyed eating lunch with and visiting with them.  They are from Illinois, but are visiting her folks in Hoisington, Kansas, and so Joe wanted to meet Beth enough to make the extra drive to meet her.  Very nice!

Good devotions from Pat, Iain and Marilyn.  And I always enjoy Papa John's additions as well.  Thanks to all of you.

Judy Mc. you asked again about Beth and John.  He has a job (for over 23 years now) in Utica, New York where he lives.  So their "romance" (if that is what it is!) is continuing via computer chats and phone calls.  They really mean a lot to each other, so I think there may be a future together for them.  I really hope so!

I have stuff to do, since I goofed off the day, better get with it!

I've found something I'm really good at!  I'm good at being late!  So, in order to make my wishes for the Hannahs current, I'll say it this way:
[size=8]HAPPY ENTIRE YEAR UNTIL THE NEXT ONE!!!!!![/size][/color]

HAHAHA!  I know it's not your birthday, Larry!

Birthday, Anniversary, whatever-----looks like fun!  Party on!  I brought fresh brewed decaf coffee to go with the Zucchinni loaf!  (Since it's late afternoon already, don't want to keep anyone awake tonight!)

Oh, I dislike decaf, Janet!  May I have some of the real stuff please?    And maybe we'll even have popcorn to go with all this stuff?    Some might just want to have a drink of coke...


This is a very special day for Larry and Pat and we don't want any lurkers tonight...  

So, let's all say it....[/color][/b]

Okay, Pat, here's some of the "REAL STUFF" too.  And Beth's friend Joe gave us a whole carton of microwave popcorn today, so we have plenty to share.

I can't have popcorn, too many carbs, so munch away!

LARRY AND PAT!!! c'MON IN HERE SO WE CAN GET THE PARTY STARTED!  I HAVE SOME GREAT CHRISTIAN MOVIES, TOO, IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED!

  OH I like a zucchini bread VERY much Ms Janet  . and I will even drink this coffee if everyone here will too. and you will all stay up and talk with me ALL night. is it ok? I hope, yes?

Mr Papa John, My life is again very different today. (((hug))) I thank you many times.  

Ms Pat (((HUG))) I have found a place in my heart where i put the love i have for friends who are now gone. I was told your heart will be only so big as the love you have in it.
Today your heart is very big and I am very happy you are my friend.

Can you eat a popcorn Ms Pat??? or are you still a cheekmonk?  

OOOOH a party for Larry and Pat. YIPEE

I am going to bring some Orange Spice Stash Tea.

We can all sing songs while Pat and plays the piano.

I'm so happy for Larry and his wife - such a great time to be together. May God grant you many more.

I also notice that Van's birthday is today. Van, I hope your day has been a great one and that your year will be better than you ever hoped to have.

okay ... I'm ready
I'll have some of the "real stuff" and zucchini bread and popcorn ... mmmmm  

Yup, MIEKA, I'll stay up all night and talk.  I usually stay up anyway.  
(Ms Pat's a "cheekmonk"  )

I like parties too.  I will send my homing pigeons out to spread the word.



As much as I would like to stay up all night I'm afraid I am not a night person.  I go to bed around 9:00 o'clock.  I do like popcorn though.

If I stay up much later than 9:00 o'clock I tend to get bug eyed.

HAHAHAHA What a funny smileys at this party.

;DI have a question to ask at this party   I hope it is ok. I read from Mr Chris and Ms Margit - God Who Gives us all things richly to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17)
I have MANY troubles to undarstand this in my life. I know now it is ok to have a much wealth. If it is wealth from GOD and it is his gift. How does one know when it is no longer the wish of GOD that this wealth is now a big boat to please only ones who are rich. I do undarstand that this wealth from GOD can buy wonderful things of the earth that can honor God. Is it only known to God who has spend this money to honor God and who has spend to honor himself?
I think many times ones who look, can not see the goodness in the heart of the rich because there are so many who have nothing at all.
I hope I can one day undarstand this and do what is Gods wish.

Today is my pay day- and I did pay God first today   it is my first tithe that i give.
11% I will give to him more than is his wish. He has give to me more than I can hope for. See,  I do learn here.

OH and, sadly, I look for a new home for my Buddha   My mind is a puzzle for this. And in shame i say he has been a friend to me. (it is why i thought perhaps Buddha and God are the same, because GOD did hear my prayer)  
I think a Christian will say to a  SMASH HIM.   I just can not do it.
I have pray about this now many times.

I can sell him for many hundred dollars and I can give away this money to help others.
Is this then money of evil to a Christian?

If he is a smash I get nothing and the poor get nothing and the Buddhist get nothing too.  

What to do with my poor Buddha, today I am a Christian ONLY IF IT IS OK TO SAY I AM EVEN IF I DO NOT YET UNDARSTAND WHAT IS HIS EVERY WISH!

I have not tell many I am a Christian yet and in fear there are some I can not yet tell. I hope you will all undarstand my heart is trouble from this and I will tell everyone only when i know it to be right.  I love you all.    
Now please tell me what is it I must do with my poor Buddha.

Mieka ~ Generally people learn more by listening than by talking....thus using their ears instead of theirs mouths.  God made ears to stay open but he made mouth to shut and open.  Special people who have no eyes to see with uses their ears to see.  Special people who have no ears to listen, uses their eyes to listen.  Isn't God wonderful?  My silly little words of wisdom at the end of my NEM posts are from a calender by Barbara Johnson, a comedic inspirational writer.

Chris ~ What a wonderful meeting today for you.  We wouldn't think of hugging a stanger but when you find a person is a Christian, they are a brother or sister, so the hugs feel so natural.  I think the two of you made each other's day!

Karma ~ First of all, hello!  Jerry and I had pizza at our Pizza King tonight.  It is true....you never get over losing a loved one.  But you learn to deal with it.  Everything goes fine for awhile and then you see something or someone says something and the memories come flooding back .  Then it is up to you whether they are happy memories or sad memories.  I miss my husband but I know he is in no pain now.  

HAPPY 41ST ANNIVERSARY, LARRY AND PAT!!!!
Heather ~ The positive outlook for your job is a big plus.  Keep it up, girl!!

Another reason to party!!!!!

Mieka is a Christian!!!!!
Jerry and I went to Lowe's.  I had ordered some Vertical blinds for my picture window that was to be delivered last Wednesday.  So I asked where they were.  They were in the store.  But 10' long...so I couldn't bring them home in the car.  So the nice people at Lowe's put them on a delivery truck and delivered them here at the house.  Then Jerry and I put them up....they do look nice.  Then my nephew came to get some of his things out of my garage and heard a lawn mower....Kaye Don was mowing.  Then I heard another lawn mower...Ivalou was mowing.  So in order to keep up with the neighbors, Jerry and I mowed my yard.  Remember Jerry works for food.  So we went to Pizza King for supper.  A busy day and none of it was planned for today!!!

Listen more and you can learn more, yes?  
But if you talk you can not listen too?  
if you do not talk, you can not ask a questions?

It is to say I must stop to hear the answer, yes?  

Closing up shop tonight early as 4 am comes early and I'm getting tired.

But keep Larry's party going and I'll join you in the morning!
