More Wisdom

33But turning and looking at his
disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan!
For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things."

That morning
I walked around the lake alone and I suddenly heard in the distance the
skirling
of
bagpipes! As the mist rose from the valley to dissipate where the sun
struck the
upper
reaches, a lone
piper walked down the pathway in full regalia!
How eerily
and enchantingly the sound echoed in the silence.

After
breakfast at Echo Lake Lodge,
two of us
took a last trip for the season
up Mt. Evans
Road.
This Bighorn ewe walked up to the side
of
the road to
greet us! I had never seen one so
close
before!!!
On Friday
morning several of us made glass pieces that will be fused in the
kiln
and then cut
to be made into pieces for jewelry which will be sold
to benefit
Friendship
Bridge (mini-credit loans for Guatemalan women).
We tried
to incorporate colors and patterns used in Guatemalan
crafts.
Peggy is
holding the piece she made (on the right) and my piece (on our
left).
I am
not an Athenian nor a Greek,
but a
citizen of the world.*

* (For you, Junna!)
32 ... And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
...
36 "For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and
forfeit their life? 37Indeed, what can they give in
return for their life? 38Those who are ashamed of me
and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man
will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy
angels."
