A New Commandment

³¹When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. ³²If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. ³³Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ ³⁴I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. ³⁵By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

John 13:31-35

Heaven is under our feet

as well as over our heads.

the whispers of the gods.

Denver Health (Hospital)

A dozen of our Evergreen HS Interact members (sponsored by Rotary) put on a dance party for patients in the pediatric section of the hospital. All ages were included, and the Interact members applied makeup and styled hair for those who wanted it.  Such fun!!!

Everyone is kneaded out of the same dough

but not baked in the same oven.

Agnus Day, by James Wetzstein

Agnus Day appears with the permission of www.agnusday.org

A little girl once asked her mommy, "How come whenever I open up a flower it falls apart, but when God opens it up it stays together?"

Her mother didn't know how to respond, but then the little girl said, "Oh, I know, when I open it up I open it up from the outside, but when God opens it up it is from the inside."
