Give me a greeting when you visit. I appreciate nice-ness.
You can address another blogger ... and even disagree with them, that is fine. All I ask is that you leave censure and hand-slapping to me.
Speak up ... about the posts.
Be nice!
Earl - As I write, teach Sunday School, I think of people like you in my audience. It gives me a sanity check of what I am saying. Would what I say pass the "crap" or sanity check of you or others that I know?
Todd - With blogs like this one there is plenty to be hopeful for in the blogsphere.
Matthew - Its nice to read an edifying Christian blog ... You are so level-headed.
Mark - You're real! The blogosphere needs more real people like you around.
Loren - I'll bet you stay up late nights thinking about all the theology that must be swimming through your head. I just want to say that it's great to see the ways in which God is challenging you, and using you to minister through your blog. The things you, and others here, have shared, are very thought provoking!
Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18)

Wait! Wait! Let me tell you why I think it is a great picture.
The picture draws you right to its center and reveals the softness of your eyes. The color (coulour to df) is great and makes you look as though you are looking, not so much at the camera as at the person viewing the picture.
Thanks, Angie. It is nice to freshen up once in a while.
DF, Thanks for your opinion! You make me question my confidence. (not really) I do have dark hair - isn't that part of my colouring? ... or do you just mean my fair skin color?
Thanks Dawn!
Joe, You are so kindly. Thanks for sticking up for me to DF (just kiddin, DF).
Rose~ I just love your auburn-brown hair, your bright smile, your deep dark eyes, and each and every one of your freckles. If only DF could see the scattered long stem red rose design on the dress, perhaps the dress would make more sense to him. ;~)
Antonio! That made me laugh out loud. Doting from a distance is fine with me.
Thanks KC, You must be referring to the man in the iron mask pictured 3 below your comment - or was it the kids? ;~)
Well, Antonio, It looks like you have your answer.
Hi Matthew, I have dark hair - very dark, but the shine is reddish when I am in the sun. I don't know what you call that. Yes, when I was in high school (maybe younger) I was anlyzed as a winter. It is OK to wear black as a winter. Actually, I think black is an OK color for just about anybody. I especially like to wear it to weddings (just kiddin)- which is where I was the day that picture was taken. ;~)
Rose, I would not have guessed you were a winter, but then my blonde beauty therapist and I parted ways over a year ago. I was never all that good with that stuff anyway.
Your hair colour is not that different from mine. Mine is dark, but looks red in the sun too.
Cleopas, Thanks. Hey, I didn't tell you that - maybe I just eluded to the fact that I would be turning 40 "soon"... Yes, very soon... very very soon.
Jonathan, That picture was taken last weekend! The dress is about 3 years old and it does have very small shoulder pads - some dresses still DO have them ... especially if they are the straight-cut body-less fabric like this dress. What are you - the fashion police? :~)
"I won't ask what year this picture was taken" Ha! I am old enough - I don't need young uns' like you implying that a current picture is an old one! Geesh!
Well, I was just thinking that if someone had a birthday coming up soon and would 'fess up about it, they may receive lots of well wishes and who knows? Maybe e-cards or birthday presents, or another expression of Matthew's disappointment?
OK, I guess pining for doting is fruitless, so I will just have to take the hubba hubba with a question mark as the exclamatory statement then. How embarrassing. ;~)
I think I look a little less skeptical than the other one, and I am not holding any controversial books.

I preferred the other one.
Your clothing here is too dark to match your colouring (I was engaged to a beauty therapist).
You do look nice, however.
God Bless

Are you asking me a question?

Sis that's a beautiful pic. Good looks seem to run in the Cole family. ;-)

I was asking John Cole if it is OK to dote over his wife with a exclamatory "hubba hubba"

Antonio, my goodness me!
Rose~, your hair does not look that dark in the photographs I have seen, including this one.
Do you use the Autumn, Spring, Summer, Winter colouring thing over in Yankland?
Every Blessing in Christ

Hi Rose,
I think your hair looks nice both ways. Speaking of updating, does someone have a birthday coming up soon?

Rose, I hate to be hyper critical here, but do I notice shoulder pads in the picture? I won't ask what year this picture was taken.

I feel so indignant!

I was at John's niece's wedding last weekend.
I will have him verify.
Of all the cheek!

Hi Rose,

Anyway, Happy Birthday!

Cute avatar, Angie! I do like that and your sense of humor.
Cleopas,
Why would Matthew be dissapointed that I was having a birthday? silly...
I took your advice because, I admit ... I like attention! Ha!
By
Rose~, at 8/14/2006 10:09 AM
Speaking of positive attention ...
Hey, what happened to "hubba hubba!" ...?
By
Rose~, at 8/15/2006 9:35 PM
Hubba Hubba?
