Congratulations on your 23rd anniversary. Awesome pictures! BTW, you're as pretty now as you were on your wedding day. :)

May the Lord continue to bless you and your beloved.

Christinewjc said...: Dear Anna,

Thank you so much for your good wishes. How sweet of you to say what you did...you made my day! If only I was that young (and thin!!) again!!

Thanks, especially, for asking the Lord to continue blessing our marriage...I truly appreciate that!

Love in Christ,

Jaded said...: Happy Anniversary!

I hope your day was everything you hoped it would be, and the pictures were lovely.

Jaded said...: oops...

PS:

Continued blessings and happiness for the next 23 years!; October 23, 2006 at 8:48:00 PM PDT
Christinewjc said...: Thank you Limpy and Jaded for your kind words! We celebrated by having dinner together at a restaurant we hadn't been to before. Great food!!

I will probably have to delete the pictures later when I get back from Bible study class. They didn't fit well in the posting box and that post is now making all my new posts drop down too far on the front page of the blog. I'm just not that tech savvy to fix it, either! lol

Jaded, early congrats on your 11th anniversary in December! What day did you get married?

May you, your husband, and your daughter continue in happiness and the blessings of the Lord!

Mark said...: wow 23 years! Your old! :)

Congratulations!

God Bless; October 24, 2006 at 11:53:00 AM PDT
Jaded said...: Thanks, Christine.

Our anniversary is December 9th. We got married at 6 PM, so the church was lit up and beautifully decorated for Christmas. I think it made the day even more special because we sharing the sanctuary with the celebration of Christ's birth. It was truly lovely.

I'm glad you and your husband had a nice dinner. My husband and I often celebrate our anniversary the very same way...dinner at a new restaurant! We've done that for almost every anniversary.; October 24, 2006 at 4:53:00 PM PDT
Stephen said...: Congrats Miss Christine! I hope you had a wonderful day!

Lots of love from myself and Irene.

BTW, I just picked up Susan Smith from the airport! She is staying with us for a week. Miss Lucy arrives tomorrow, also for a week.

All of the evangelists are flying in for our "Remembering Jerusalem" celebration this weekend at our new church, Heavenly Hope Christian Church. I took the Pastor plunge in September.

Hope all is well with you and we love you!

In Christ,

Christinewjc said...: Mark said, "wow 23 years! Your old! :)

Congratulations!"

Well...getting older is better than the alternative...isn't it? That's what my daughter tells me whenever I complain about it. ha ha

Got a lot to do for the Lord here in "the greatest nation on God's green earth," as Michael Medved says in his radio show sign-off! Then it's eternity time with Jesus!

Thanks for the congrats!; October 25, 2006 at 8:53:00 AM PDT
Christinewjc said...: Hi Jaded,

Sometimes I don't like trying new restaurants unless they are recommended by someone who has already been there.

While at a business conference in Whistler, British Columbia this past August, Charlie and I went to a restaurant during our free day to celebrate his birthday. It served good tasting food...but I don't think the portions would have filled the stomach of a bird! ha ha

While looking at the directory in the village square, a lady came up to us and asked if she could help us find what we were looking for. She said she is a former tour guide and she recommended that restaurant to us. I think she was a "plant" for that restaurant's owners! You know...she was probably sent out to get some dumb Americans to eat at that overpriced, bird-portioned place!

It's ok though. We laughed about it afterwards. Went to two other restaurants later in the week that were fabulous!

On another subject, I'm sure you have noticed the continuing controversy over Madonna's abrupt adoption of the little boy. The father was apparently illiterate and didn't understand what that word "adoption" really meant! I wonder what will happen now?; October 25, 2006 at 9:10:00 AM PDT
Christinewjc said...: Hi Stephen & Irene,

Thanks for the good wishes!

Wow! Sounds like you have taken on a fabulous endeavor for the Lord! Pastor of a new church! How nice that Susan (hi to my sis in Christ!) and Lucy (would love to meet her some day!) could join you to remember your trip to Jerusalem and celebrate the opening of your new church. Great name, btw!

I have had the word "hope" on my mind recently. A fellow Bible study member is creating stretchy, lettered bracelets that say HOPE in block letters with a Scripture reference on them! I asked her to make a bunch for me to give out with the candy on Halloween!

Each year, I attempt to "reclaim Halloween for the Lord." I've given out tracts and Bible verses attached to the candy in the past. I got this idea from CBN and this year, I want to print up a prayer:

Dear Visitor,

I open my door and offer you and your loved ones two "treats." The first is this BIG candy bar, and the second is a prayer in my heart. I pray that God’s blanket of protection would be over so many little children on Halloween night.

Lord, may this year on Halloween night be one that is hallowed, a holy night to lift up your name and bless your little children all over the world.

In Jesus Christ's name I pray,
Amen

The bracelets would be welcomed by the girls, but I just need to come up with an extra gift for the boys! We get a lot of teens at our door. Any ideas?

God bless you, Irene and those cute kids of yours!

Stephen said...: I've got the perfect idea!! Give me a call. If you're willing to pick up the freight charges, I'll send you a couple hundred www.PrideAndPeace.com wristbands for free as our gift to you.

They have nothing to do with our regular ministry, but everything to do with sharing the Gospel. All kids young and old would love the wristbands.

Just call me tomorrow (THU) and I can send them out overnight to you. They're "wearable" tracts!

Visit the website to find out a bit more.

Our love to all and I'll tell Susan and Lucy you said hi!

Blessings,

The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience

Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.

We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

1. the sanctity of human life
2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Go to Manhattan Declaration.org to sign the declaration!

Ronald Reagan Quote

“Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.

Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he’ll eat you last.” - Ronald Reagan

THE RELEVANT OBAMA ADMISSION

At Barack Obama’s web site, the following admission:

“FactCheck.org Clarifies Barack’s Citizenship

‘When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children…’ “

Read that last line again.

“That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children…”

That’s an admission that Great Britain “governed the status” of Barack Obama, Jr. He has chosen to highlight this on his own volition.

And this leads to the relevant question:

HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN’S STATUS BE “GOVERNED” BY GREAT BRITAIN?

A natural born citizen’s status should only be governed by the United States.

We The People

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

Read Dr. Jeremiah's "What In The World Is Going On?"

This book gives us ten prophetic clues that you cannot afford to ignore.
"In this book, I want to help you find the truth about what is going
on. I want to show you that while our age is certainly fractionated," it need not be scary - not for Christians who trust the Lord and know how to read the signs and understand coming events. [Y]ou will recognize the clues that God has given us to find peace in "our terrifying age." [B]ut mostly, I hope this book will help to "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27)."

-David Jeremiah
