Good News
 

Then Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding country. He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.

When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:
   “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
     because he has anointed me 
        to bring good news to the poor.
    He has sent me to proclaim 
        release to the captives 
     and recovery of sight to the blind, 
        to let the oppressed go free, 
    to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. Then he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

This was Carol's last painting for she is now under Hospice Care.
She is the only remaining one of the artists I first had at Life Care when I started
ten years ago.  It is much harder than I thought it would be.
 
Jan's painting of the mountains will be one of nine paintings used
to make a quilt for the live auction.  Jan is my only remaining artist from the original
group that I had at the Senior Resource Center starting in 1999!
