Hugh's Birthday is it?

Happy Birthday Hugh!!

---Joe

Hugh!

That's more than half a century: 52, right?

So it makes me wonder, if you have any... well... words of wisdom for us seeing that yer gettin' up there, so to speak in years.  Well?  Hugh?

We're waiting.  The floor's all yours.  Speech speech speech!

Hugh's proverbs:

It's what you learn after you leave the Assembly that counts.

Let your yes be yes and not someone else telling you to say yes.

If it seems like a trap you are already caught.

Don't blame yourself for trusting hypocrites, you aren't one so how could you think others just might be.

When the Lord sets you free don't say Why me just run from Hell and don't look back.

God can save anyone but you have to be willing.

If you know the truth hold on to it.

Hugh ;D

Thanks for all your very kind greetings. I got my Birthday present early. When I left the Assembly in July it was a special day of liberation. I am so glad to have this Website. It was hard for me to come online but now I know I have found real friends here. Thank you one and all. My hope is that Jesus will recover those hurt ones and encourage those who need it to boldly stand for His truth.

 ;DLord bless you all ;D

 Happy Birthday Hugh ;D ;D

  It has been great to have you on the BB and I appreciate your contribution.
                                   God Bless,  Mark C.

Well said Hugh, and with brevity too.  See Marcia, having forsaken the 'collective' Hugh did not drone on and on.

 :-\  A well deserved pun back at cha, Hugh.  And you can blame that one on Marcia.  She mothered it in a private post, when we were talking about you behind your back.
 ;D

Cheers

Since Hugh is 'the cutest' Borg drone, I asked Hugh the same question in an EM that I asked you (behind his back :)) and got some very interesting feedback from him.

E.g. He said:

He assimilated my meaning.
He once dreamt of Star Trek and every cloud had a borg lining.
Once he followed a garbage truck thinking it was part of the collective.
One of the drones was named Ernest Borg Nine.

You get the idea. It was very punny.
Marcia

 
Once he followed a garbage truck thinking it was part of the collective.
You get the idea. It was very punny.
Marcia

The garbage truck was part of a large fanchise, no doubt, based in Fullerton.  Itinerate truck drivers unloaded lovely packages in various states and even made it up to Canada to dump their loads on many occassions.  
In Ottawa a large toxic dump was created.  Remember Marcia?  It's coming back to me now.  I remember being at several meals around the heap when we chewed and swallowed what was fed.  Those were the days, my friend.  Those were the days.

drj

We thought they'd never end, but are now glad that they did, for us anyway.

Are you sure you are referring to Ottawa??  Surely you mean Estevan, after all Ottawa was not influenced by Fullerton.  It must be the age thing, you being much older now - a sign of the times.  Usually it's the short-term memory that goes first, but in this case...

Marcia ;)

Thanks Mark.

Keep the faith. To use a quote from the sixties and seventies "Peace Brother".

Hugh   8)

Marcia,
Estevan never had anything on Ottawa.  And yeah, it's been a lot of years.  I was fifteen when I entered the assembly and the four 'fourmative' years I spent in Ottawa remain my most memorable.  That's where the pros were, handpicked by George.  Interestingly enough, Ottawa is the clock that keeps on ticking even now, and, in my estimation, was and remains the darkest place in Canada.  And Ottawa, like the other assemblies, has not idea who built the set up ideals by which they live.  They say it is 'the Lord' - but George's life and their own stories say that: this is the house that George built.  And these are the people who remain in the house and say that this is the house 'the Lord' built.  And these are the people who closed the books that sat on the book table in the house that George built... and this is an escapee who ran from the house that still stands... in Ottawa.

delila

Wow Delila! This is so amazing and incredible!  You've lived in all three Canadian assemblies so who am I to argue with you on this one.  Maybe since Ottawa was most 'faithful' to the vision, they continue to stand strong against the attacks of the enemy. EH?? ;) (sarcasm intended)
I know this is prolonging Hugh's birthday by keeping this thread going, but... :)

Marcia

yup.

            HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT !!! :) :) :)

                                   Mark C.

     Although Spring officially begins tomorrow, THIS is the day of the Vernal Equinox, meaning that at some point today we will be precisely between the shortest day of 2003 and the longest day of 2004 (in terms of hours of daylight) in the northern hemisphere.  
     South of the equator, of course, the seasons are heading in the opposite direction; the nighttime hours about to prevail for a half year.
     I can't help wondering why some people think I have nothing to do ???

al ;)

                       Don't be greedy!  It's not the Verne eqinox--
                       it's the VERNAL equinox.  That's US!!! ;D

           al ;)(the other half of vernal)

From the BB home page:

Happy birthday, Mark. :)  Twice!!! :D  (Does this mean you're really 38?) ;D

Happy Birthday, Teresa Sturnfield!!  

I remember how for years you packaged up our meds and send them to us.  Blessings on you!!  We probably never thanked you at the time, (we being take-people-for granted died-in the-wool assemblyites) but you were a life saver - you made life soooooo much easier!  Thank you.  Wishing you a truly wonderful birthday.

Dear Ol' Al,

   Congratulations are indeed in order and I trust that your kids, and Cathy surprised you sufficiently (like renting the local movie theater again :o :o?!

  Seriously though, it is great to have been reunited via this BB, as I did with so many old (yes, I guess the pun was intended  ;)) Assembly folks whom I thought I'd never see again.

                   God's richest blessing  :)  Mark C.

WOW!!!  Thanks, everybody.  I'm really touched (Yeah, I know: you've said that about me all along :P) and honored!

No, Mark-- the grand surprises are only on those "Big One" milestone birthdays.  I have heard some family whispers about them possibly sending me on a cruise next time...  Do you know anything about a ship named the "Mars Rover?" ::) ;D

God bless you all,
al :D

"A day with the Lord is like a thousand years, or a thousand years are as a day in his eyes"  How many days have you been alive now Mark? In his eyes you may have lived for thousands of years already. Man, has he got a lot of patience!!! ;D

Happy Birthday Mr C.!

Hark!  It's Mark Campbell's birthday!

Psalm 37:37
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

Thanks for your boldness, courage and care.

Lord bless you.

Here's to the crock hunter of the assembly. :o

(http://www.briantucker.net/bb/attachments/crochunter_with_george.jpg)

Stephen, and everyone,

THANK YOU ALL!!

The crockhunter picture is awesome....I am honored.

God Bless you all,

Brent

Happy Birthday Brent!!!! :) :) :) :)


   I tried to get a photo from my trip to Australia that had the Croc Hunter on it, but it was too large to make it.

   I do think that Brent does look somewhat like the Croc Hunter guy, and I wish that it was able to make the trip.  I will send it to your e-mail Brent and you can tell us what you think.

  The best part of the photo is that he is holding a snake that kind of looks like GG ;).

                             God's richest blessing, Mark C.

Happy Birthday Brent! Have the best year ever. God Bless Summer.

Happy Birthday Brent!!!! God bless you.

Late birthday blessings to you Brent

Happy Birthday,  United States Marine Corps and a salute of thanks to all veterans of all military service branches everywhere for your service.  Thanks as well to all families who have suffered the loss of loved ones in service, or whose loved ones are presently serving, especially those in harm's way.

Thanks Everyone!  :)

   I also would like to add my thanks to those who have served, or are now serving, in the American military.  We owe a great deal to those who have sacraficed so much to defend our liberty.


                                                              God Bless,  Mark C.

Happy Birthday Brent, one day late

I couldn't get enough online time to do this yesterday.
But I thought it would be a fitting annual reminder and remembrance day, lest we forget.

Thanks Mark Gotta say this one is starting to feel like I'm getting older. But I can retire next year at 55 Praise God.

Blessings to all in their 50s God has great things in store for us I'm sure.

Hugh

Hi Hugh!

  Retiring next year!!!!!!! :o 8)   This is way lazy on your part and proof that you must be living in Canada or some such socialist state!!! ;) ;)

  ( By the way, I am not saying the above because I'm jealous and must wait until I'm 59 in order to retire.) ::)

   Speaking of Canada:  How do you like your new prime minister?

  I'm on kind-of a retirement this week as I had an accident at work and my ankle got twisted around pretty good.

 It was a miracle that this is all that happened to me, as a broken pallet jack caused a couple thousand pounds to push me off the back of the truck.  My right foot was trapped between the pallet and the chain on the lift gate and I hung there from my foot until my shoe came off dropping me to the ground!

  No broken bones but it sure hurt!  I should be back to work next week.

      Seriously, I hope that God blesses you this last year of work and that you have a great retirement!
                                                             Mark C.

Happy Birthday, Jan Boyer!  Thanks so much for collaborating with Brinda McCumber on the "History of Tuscola and the Midwest". It has been a KEY piece to understanding the dynamics of the Assembly and has helped many people. What a journey it's been, hasn't it, from Westmoreland Chapel through the Assembly to the place where we are now, looking back on it all.  "God...will not forget your work and the love you have shown his people as you have helped his people and continue to help them." Grace and peace to you in abundance!   --Margaret Irons

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AL

I don't know if you read the board at all but wanted to say happy birthday.

                                
                                                                     
Blessings,
Gay

 

      Re. Happy Birthday wishes to Al:

   He does not read here anymore, but I will be happy to forward your wishes to him via email.  I'm sure he misses his friendly contacts from the BB, but has decided that he spent too much time here and needed to just make a permanent separation from his involvement here.


                                                     God Bless,  Mark C.

I don't always agree with Chuck, but he is an amazing man in the way he has handled his family's Miller/Geftakys rift, how he has embraced technology at his age, and how he presents vigorous argumentation for his viewpoints with grace and the wisdom to know when to quit. Congratulations, Chuck, and many happy returns! I hope your family reunion was a blessing. I wonder if there is any update you might want to share out here in reference to your post of February 23, 2003 regarding your children and grandchildren....

Margaret

Chuck---

80 years old!!!  Wow!!!  I had no idea you had that many years under your belt!! You're a very
feisty guy!!  Belated Happy Birthday to you!!!

God bless you---   Joe

               



  At 80 years old and still able to produce such able defenses for your opinions you certainly are one sharp senior citizen!

  Chuck, you have challenged my thinking-- making me plunge into the study of the bible and the history of this country (Chuck and I have an email discussion going re. our nation's roots and what the bible has to tell us about this).

  God's very best blessings on you, and your very large family!  It has been a privilege to know you and communicate with you re. what is dearest to our hearts'.

                                                                     God Bless,  Mark C.

                                                                 

Has this been known to occur on a yearly basis?  :rofl:

Hmmmm good question I would imagine that would be the case until one decides to stop counting them  :rofl: :rofl:
