If anyone knows how to change the ink - really WHERE the ink cartridge IS for a HPofficejet 5510 All in one - please email me. I haven't a clue and have taken as many pieces apart as I dare.

THANKS!

TEST - trying to use Fire Fox to upload our family photo but nothing will work.....

OH - here Stacia attempts to walk at the park IN SHOES for the first time...These are aobut an inch to long to fit her fat foot....I'm going to go find those Robeze shoes this week.

"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him....." James 1:2 -

Consider - a conscious choice of my will, deliberate decision to count

All - every bit of life

Joy - not happy; but a deep trust and satsifaction in Jesus, in where He leads and in what He provides

my Brethren - Christians aren't exempt

when - not if you encounter trials - you WILL encounter them and you don't have to search for them

various - varigated - multi-colored a RAINBOW - a Rainbow of trials

trials - tests....

endurance - ability to stand up under pressure

Let endurance work - and I will be made perfect (mature) and complete.....

And when I need wisdom while walking through a trial - He's there, I need only ask in faith. He doesn't consider my frailty with reproach!

Two weeks ago my very best friend in the world, my sweetheart and lover left. Tomorrow two daughters of my very heart will leave. And...yes....life is good. They are all following the heart of Jesus. They are all walking in the path He set them upon.

And me? I'm making a conscious CHOICE...to be content with where Jesus has led...to leap into His arms and draw strength and I can feel endurance growing.....and I'm praying for wisdom as I walk through these goodbyes because they are very hard on the little ones.

I have to run and teach. I'd appreciate prayers for tonight and tomorrow. For safe travel for the girls. They'll be traveling until Sunday. That they'll be able to talk to Mike before they leave....and for His sweet peace and comfort to flood our home....

Thanks ya'all.

Choosing Joy - in this season of rainbows! {g}

Darshia suggested I include a link for the Nav Press Bible Studies. Great idea. Here you go! Enjoy. OH - the series with titles like "Six essential steps to Clarify Your Calling" is one I've talked about before too. You'll find info on that series at this site as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, Darshia!

Check it out closely!

UGH...thanks to Chris for starting my day off right! :::snort:::This would surely make it worth a person's time to cut and wash their own greens. I have no clue at all if this is a hoax or for real. I know I shouldn't buy bagged but I do.....or maybe I'll quit. LOL

Bible Study Guides

Several have emailed me off list and so I'll post here as others may wonder.

We are using the LifeChange Guides from Nav Press. They are written to be an inductive study with all the work in one book(dictionary, outlines, maps, commentary). They GIVE you the definitions for word studies (which personally I don't like - I like to look them up myself - but for many this is a huge time saver), background info and ask several application questions. They are structured so you are observing, interpreting and applying the Word. You are IN the Word. A bit of commentary but mostly you are in the Word. When I can't use Precept - I like these. Each lesson is supposed to take 60 - 90 minutes a week (15 - 20 min 5 days a week) so it is doable for most women/groups. I've used them a couple of times. It isn't a "bells and whistle" type series - but they are good in that you are focused on the Word. Personally, I've found they work really well if I've done the Precept course myself - because then I have lots of background info and can easily add where/if needed.....we've even had these going at the same time as Precept so those who want to do inductive but don't have the time can do these and attend the Precept discussion/videos. That's worked well. The Precept in/out are really well...most my women have enjoyed Nav Press better....they are a bit more meat than we've found the in/out to be.

Hope that Helps - and yes...these would work well for homeschoolers who want their "Bible" class to be Bible Study...and they work well for Jr High/ High school students as well as new Christians, busy women or men....but they aren't fancy it's the Holy Spirit that adds the zing in these studies.
