Compensation
Let the little
children
come to me
...
People were bringing little
children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke
sternly to them. But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them,
"Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as
these that the kingdom of God belongs. Truly I tell you, whoever does not
receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it." And he took
them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them.

Judy and Sharron at church
on Sunday.
Judy was visiting Sharron
from Michigan and came to both of our Book Clubs.
A handsome,
well-fed buck!
Our Denver Art Museum
Conservation group had lunch at Pint's English Pub ...
... and walked over to the
capitol building.
A glorious, nippy
day!
Julie is standing in front
of the quilt, "Women's Gold," in the Capitol that was mainly
done by
her mother, Betsy Gottschalk, for Colorado's Centennial in
1976.
Julie did some of the
stitchery herself.
The purpose of our outing
was to view the works of Allen Tupper True.
True started out in the early
1900s doing illustrations for "The Saturday Evening Post," "Colliers,"
etc. The next part of his life was devoted to fine art paintings
and the next stage in his career was painting murals.
He has murals all over
Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri. The eight panels in the rotunda of the
Colorado Capitol were by True. We then went to the Art Museum for a lecture about
Allen Tupper True's
art work and view the exhibit
which opened the next day.
A fascinating
saga!!!

Some Pharisees came, and to test
him they asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" He
answered them, "What did Moses command you?" They said, "Moses allowed a man to
write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her." But Jesus said to them,
"Because of your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you. But from
the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.' 'For this reason a
man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two
shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore
what God has joined together, let no one separate."
Then in the house
the disciples asked him again about this matter. He said to them, "Whoever
divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she
divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

Perhaps the
most significant difference between their customs and ours lay in the status of
the different genders. A man could divorce a woman on a whim, but a woman could
not divorce a man for any cause.
