JC, thank you for this expose video. It is frightening, especially, now that we have a POTUS that is pushing HARD for abortion (and EVEN late-term abortion!) It is chilling, to say the least!

How do I leave a letter to my grandaughters, telling them how sorry I am that I could not stop this?

great frame amy.. are you using a new program? (or just getting great at an older one?).. which one is it? I have a couple programs on my tower.. Picture it on my notebook & whatever comes standard with the IMAC.. (which I haven’t used yet)

I liked a lot about Photoshop but since it was such a powerful program it took forever for the simplest tasks.. so I began sticking with a program that could do the simple cropping, brightening etc w/o the cumbersome time involved.

I had post 1138 removed as I thought it wasn’t received correctly by some.

Thanks, Dolly.

I’ve been using PaintShopPro for several years. When I went to Vista a couple of years ago, I bought a newer version. A few months ago, I started using the frames that were included with the upgraded version. Now I’m hooked and am playing with textures to make my own frames. The one that I used in #1333 was one of the frames included with the software. After, adding it to the image, I cropped it some. It seemed too bulky.

PSP is pretty simple to use.

Getting Better
I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. —Philippians 1:23

A popular song from the 1960s was titled “Getting Better.” In it, the singer considers his young life and happily declares that he sees things “getting better all the time.” It is a song of optimism but, unfortunately, without any real basis for that hope.

By contrast, the Bible warns us that we live in a world that in many ways is actually getting worse (2 Tim. 3:13). Daily we’re faced with increasing evidence to support that contention. So how do we respond to the realities of life in such a badly marred world? With empty optimism? With hopeless discouragement? The apostle Paul shows us how.

While imprisoned in Rome, Paul wrote to the church at Philippi to offer them genuine hope in a broken world. He encouraged his readers by telling them that though life in this world is often hard and painful, for the Christian things will get better. He wrote, “I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better” (Phil. 1:23). It is a reminder to us that we can face the difficulties of living for Christ now because one day we will be with Him in an eternal home of splendor and fullness.

Life can be hard, but one day when we see Christ it will truly get better!

To see His face, this is my goal,
The deepest longing of my soul;
Through storm and stress my path I’ll trace
Till, satisfied, I see His face! —Chisholm

To be with Jesus forever is the sum of all happiness.

Bible in One Year: 2 Kings 15-16; John 3:1-18

Thank you, yorkie, it was an eye-opening video! It made me sit up and take notice. But we all know that the Muslims greatest goal is to take over the United States and other countries. I have read that many times. We won’t be around to see it but the generations to come will. :(
