[jaycee]

You did it! You are a very good actress, yorkie! Is this another April Fool’s Joke? LOL~~~~

Did you learn this after all that belly-aching last night?

It is gorgeous, yorkie! The one I just posted, I spent a long time doing it...too long to tell the truth! Those double frames are much harder for me!

Crooked House

READ: Revelation 3:14-20

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. —Revelation 3:19

When Robert Klose first moved into his 100-year-old house, its strange sounds were disconcerting. A carpenter told him the house was crooked. Klose admitted, “I could see it in the floors, the ceilings, the roofline, the door jambs, even the window frames. Drop a ball on the floor and it will roll away into oblivion.” Seventeen years later, the house is still holding together and he has gotten used to it and even grown to love it.

In Revelation, Jesus confronted a church that had become accustomed to its crooked spirituality and had even grown to love its inconsistencies. Laodicea was a well-to-do city. Yet that very wealth led to its delusion of self-sufficiency. This had bled into the culture of the church and produced a crooked, “we don’t need Jesus” type of spirituality. Therefore, Jesus rebuked these believers, calling them “lukewarm, . . . wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked” (3:16-17). He rebuked them because He loved them and still wanted an ever-deepening communion with them. So He gave them opportunity to repent (v.19).

If self-sufficiency has skewed your fellowship with Jesus, you can straighten it through repentance and a renewal of intimate fellowship with Him.

Not to the world is the portion
Of fellowship sweet with God,
But to the humble believer
Who trusts in His faithful Word. —Anon.

Repentance is God’s way of making the crooked straight.

Bible in One Year: Joshua 7-9; Luke 1:21-38

Once said,
"I cannot tell a lie"
I couldn't do HTML framing
If someone gave me a million bucks.

(But, I know how to find them, now!)
Snicker, snort, giggle!

[yorkie]

And, before I forget, I would like you ladies to know that I am in AWE of your talents with your posts! Your framing is incredible, the colors and designs are always so perfect!

So, thank you for all the work you go through, and the time you spend, each day to share with us!

I certainly appreciate each post and thank you for sharing your talents with 'dummies' like me!

too bad they broke up but better now than after marriage. My biggest question is it user friendly. Intuitive to use or must you have a manual at side continually.

That is a very nice gift he gave her & I will appreciate mine as they are not inexpensive.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[JustAmy]

Good morning, FRiends.
Happy Caturday!

Hope everyone is enjoying Spring.

[jaycee]

Just freepmailed you the information...just about what you’ve mentioned. No, you will not be bothered with a maual all the time. After you real my mail, you will know!

Dolly, they have had a lot of break-ups. Both have been single a little over 10 years....both divorced. They will never get married, I don’t think. It would take a book if I told you everything about them. She wants to lead him around by the nose and he is not a person that will be led! They are both sorta stubborn and set in their ways, being single so long!

A wonderful weekend to everyone!

Early Spring

When the waving heavens are soft Cool inside the birth of green— And the snowdrops filter Through the blades and leaves Budding and leafing A rosy reflection—a mist of chill, A pillow of muse in all its glory And glistening, never blinding A fading, a release, A relinquishing on all That is cold and vacant. When the birds are plump And wild with nature— Seeking a link of rebirth. Early spring, when the World reopens to your embrace And there is no need for cover, For protection— All you need is one smile— And muse to live. Early spring: when birth Is a little gold, a little white. Masiela Lusha

[jaycee]

Like George Washington, I cannot tell a lie either. I was a little suspicious but since I am as far away as you can get at being an expert, I would never second guess! An expert could tell, but it doesn’t matter anyway! If its pretty, post it!

I found some sites too! They frame everything, don’t they?
LOL! Some are very lovely, some aren’t!

Son’s been here and I gotta get busy now but I thought your orange and yellow flower was gorgeous this morning, yorkie!

Such a darling kitty graphic this morning, ladies! Love that frame with the bow. Quotation pertaining to cats always bring a smile to me.

Thank you for sharing your photos, Snugs.

I've had your post removed because of the size of your pictures. We are trying to be considerate of others by keeping graphic size to 100,000 bytes max.

I used ...
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/imageoptimizer/index.php
to reduce byte size.

I have resized and reposted your pictures.





As you can see, the quiche went from 280,000 bytes to 37,134 bytes and the trifle went from 253,000 bytes to 29,579. Thank you for your understanding.

Hope you and your Dad are enjoying the weekend.

Awwwww, thank you, JC!!
