Truth, and goodness, and beauty,
are but different faces of the same All.

Truth is the first thing to be sought for,
and Beauty and Goodness will then be added unto you.

Rotary at El Rancho on Friday morning!
We had serious business to attend to at Rotary on Friday morning.
The snow had stopped, but the wind was making driving difficult.
Still, fifty (out of 115) of us showed up for our meeting at 7:00 a.m.!
 
Too Loose Lautrec
(Thank you, Nancy and Vicki!)
 
Kimra gave us an update on the amazing progress Rotary has made with Polio Plus.
Perhaps that is why so many people showed up?  Or ... could it have
been for Kimra's faaaaaaabulous costume prizes?

Death of Lazarus

 32When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. 34He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35Jesus began to weep. 36So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” 37But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” 38Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” 40Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” 41So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. 42I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.” 43When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

45Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
