It is our choices
that show what we truly are,
far more than our
abilities.

Where God
calls you,
is where your
deep gladness and
the world’s
deep needs, meet.

Here I am modeling my "new
look" at the Rotary party
(Wines in the Woods)
Saturday evening.
Our Painted Toe Society did
a tour of the Rocky Mountain
National
Watermedia Show at Foothills Art Center on
Monday.
CV, in the foreground, had
a painting accepted for the show!

us at the Silver Plume
Tea Room on Wednesday

I loved the stained glass
reflection on Carmon.
Kathy trying on (and
buying) lederhosen.
We saw a big herd of
Bighorn Sheep near Georgetown.
It was amazing to see
the males fight.
They would rear up ...
and literally hurl themselves at each other!
The resounding clash of
horns could be heard echoing as
their confrontation
was repeated again and again.
OUCH!!!
The
secret of language
is the secret of
sympathy
and its full charm is possible
only to the gentle.*

* Another worthy repeat.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the
mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to
speak, and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. “Blessed are those who
hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. “Blessed are the
merciful, for they will receive mercy. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
will see God. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of
God. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute
you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and
be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted
the prophets who were before you.
