Calling and
Giving
18As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers,
Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the
sea—for they were fishermen. 19And he said to them,
"Follow me, and I will make you fish for people."

This year we had six
paintings selected by the
Alzheimer's Association
Colorado Chapter for their Annual Art
Auction!
The two above are by Helen
and Jan. Helen's
Alzheimer's is rather advanced.
She usually paints
sunflowers and, when I asked her where
her sunflowers were, she
slapped my arm (hard!) and said,
"It's too dark to see
them."
I love this
doggie with snow on his nose by Florence!!!
She had a very special
doggie when she was growing up in northern Vermont.
Roy painted this picture of
his brother, Ron, and his Snoopy dog in Wyoming.
He even included the date
when the photo was taken!
The barn was built in
1886.
Bev and I attended the
Appreciation Party at the Alzheimer's office on Wednesday
evening.
We were thrilled that they
finally selected one of Dody's paintings!
It will be fun to see them
all nicely framed in June!
Brenda, Susan, and I
enjoyed our Rotary Dine Around Friday evening.
The only limit to
our realization of tomorrow
will be our doubts

The only limit to your realization
of tomorrow is the doubt
to which you hold fast today.
12Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he
withdrew to Galilee. 13He left Nazareth and made his
home in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14so that what had been spoken through the prophet
Isaiah might be fulfilled: 15"Land of Zebulun, land of
Naphtali, on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the
Gentiles—16the people who sat in darkness have seen a
great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has
dawned."
