Lori what a great graphic & in wonderful table. I love that pix of you.. in fact I am pretty sure it is the one I used for the FINEST group pix I posted a few weeks ago (did you see it?)

I have another thread to get up shortly(I am procrastinating)..need to yet load all pix to server. They are worked up. From DC holiday party.Started with about 800 pix.after elimating BAD/duplicate etc. got down to 280. The ones I used involved cropping, brightening, sharpening etc. Did some collages.


Aas you requested, I will ping you to thread when I get it up.


Will be the fourth this weekend. Have the regular Finest and Singles threads for this weekend, decided to post a Hanukkah thread since no one else did (since, there has been another) & they asked me to do the DC thread since I have most of pix.

Dirty Jobs

Jesus put out His hand and touched him. —Matthew 8:3

One TV personality seeks out the most dirty and grimy jobs he can find. Then he does those jobs on camera so we can all be grossed out.

The surprising thing that usually comes out of this excursion into grime is that the people who do these really nasty chores for a living seem happy to be doing them.

I wonder if that’s the way it is among the people of God. In the church and in the community of God’s people, there are definitely “dirty” jobs that God has called us to do.

For instance, where is the glamour in working in a homeless shelter, providing gospel hope and physical help to street people? Where is the intrinsic joy in walking into a hospital room to visit a patient who has just received awful news from the doctor? And how can it be easy to sit across the counseling room from an abused spouse and try to help her retain her dignity and piece her life back together?

Imagine how the crowds gasped when Jesus reached out and touched the leper. He was not afraid of “dirty” jobs. Jesus came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). He was “moved with compassion” for the lame, the ill, the downtrodden (Matt. 9:36). Let’s follow His lead and with love tackle the tough tasks around us. Dave Branon

No matter what my daily chores might be
To earn my livelihood, still may I see
My job, the real position that I hold,
Is bringing others to the Master’s fold.  —Stalter

Work well done for Christ will receive a “well done” from Christ.

Bible in One Year:   Amos 4-6; Revelation 7

Morning on Saturday, DaBear. Wishing you and yours a lovely Christmas Holiday - know this one may be a little sad for you all, but I can imagine the memories you'll talk about as you get together.

Warmest Christmas Wishes.

Hi, Dear (((((Billie)))))! Yes, it's a Peace Rose; they Seem to Vary in Intensity and Shades of Color from Rose to Rose. Here is Another Lovely One, a Little Different, Called 'Love and Peace Rose'

I wondered if it was in the "Peace" family, because those are the only roses I could name. :) I just never saw one with a lavendar tint - the pale yellow with pink shades I've seen many times. (My sister-in-law was a horticulturist and could GROW every kind of flower imaginable! Peonies were her favorite, but her roses were breathtaking.)

I went to a dressy party last night, not quite THAT dressy but it was fun.. then to a more casual party afterward. Had about 30 minutes between. My date waited while I freeped (had him walk the dogs, one at time! to give ME extra time at computer)

Talk about hooked on freeping. :)

I know.. silly huh? actually I was waiting for an impt email from Mark, which did come. Even sadder to have one gent wait while you await an email from another.

I'll see if I can dig up that pix.. it may have been posted the week your computer was on strike!

Another beautiful Christmas arrangement, and framed very simply. Sometimes less is more, huh? Not to say that it wouldn't have been just as gorgeous with more framing! :)

cant find where I posted it , but went to dominia to get it...added a few more freepers that day. I started last year with all the FReepers who responded on threads that I participated with & that I posted in particular. Didn't go WAY back to before I was a hostess however. no IDs on the graphic so people can feel hopefully secure. The day I posted it, I pinged everyone (except maggie & texas cowboy) to the graphic

I did have it in more framing but it seemed to detract from the lovely old print..so I deleted the outer framing and left the interior frame.
