Debbie McClung at Life Care Nursing Home of Evergreen did a magnificent
job of mounting many of 2012's Memories in the Making
paintings by
some of our Alzheimer's artists.
I helped her hang them on Friday.
Five of us had lunch at Colterra's in Niwot, Colorado,
on Saturday to celebrate Nancy Priest's birthday!

Drop thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.

* Not As This World Gives by Patricia E. de Jong
** from The
Brewing of Soma, by John Greenleaf Whittier
And in the spirit he carried me away to a great,
high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven
from God.
I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is
the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon
to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their
glory into it. Its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night
there. People will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. But
nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood,
but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Then the angel showed me the river of the water
of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is
the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each
month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. Nothing
accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb
will be in it, and his servants will worship him; they will see his face, and
his name will be on their foreheads. And there will be no more night; they need
no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will
reign forever and ever.
