What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us;
what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
~ Albert Pike
When ordinary human beings perform extraordinary acts of generosity, endurance, or compassion, we are all made richer by their examples.

Freedom Run

JAK and Woofie and I walked down to watch the runners and walkers start the race on July 4th.
Dodi was also doggie sitting and having a much more difficult time!

Emerson and his mother, Jenna, jogged the Freedom Run!
Todd is our new president for Evergreen Rotary!
CV, Penny, and I are taking Ted Nuttall’s three-day workshop this weekend.
There is a 10-page article about Ted’s work in the current issue of Watercolor!
Jay, one of our fellow participants, came all the way from
Osaka, Japan, just to take Ted’s class!
Every time I’m confronted by the new white space of a painting,
I feel like an immigrant,
a foreigner entering an unknown country
where new life and growth is possible.

Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.”
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.’ Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
