Confirmation At St. John's this weekend

I had spoken to friends about Confirmation this weekend at St. John's and those being confirmed are active and very special young people. Then I was reading today's reflection by Henri J. M. Nouwen and it seemed to touch me with a reality of the anticipated celebration to come.

THE SPIRIT WILL SPEAK IN US

"When we are spiritually free, we do not have to worry about what to say or do in unexpected, difficult circumstances. When we are not concerned about what others think of us or what we will get for what we do, the right words and actions will emerge from the center of our beings because the Spirit of God, who makes us children of God and sets us free, will speak and act through us. Jesus says, "When you are handed over, do not worry about how to speak or what to say; what you are to say will be given to you when the time comes, because it is not you who will be speaking; the Spirit of your Father will be speaking in you" (Matthew 10:19-20).

Let's keep trusting the Spirit of God living within us, so that we can live freely in a world that keeps handing us over to judges and evaluators."

I pray for these young Ones, that they will learn to rely on the Spirit. In him is the true source of strenght and wisdom. A true test of learning to "follow the Leader."

Treading Water

Today...the novelty of the computer is wearing out! Took me three times to fax an RX only to find out someone had put the incorrect fax number into the computer...so NOW I'm learning to tread water...Just knowing, though, that what appears to be lost can be found is a real "inspiration"!!! Yes, and there is always tomorrow...(SIGH)

Atlanta in the Spring?

The treat was having pics taken with Jimmy. Was warmer on Saturday. He nearly froze to death on Sunday at the baseball game...

We had a great visit with Jimmy. He took us to the High Museum for the Louve exhibit...Found out our IMA (Indianapolis Museum of Art) membership gave us a discount on the tickets, plus a discount in the book store...At any rate it was a fun day...and we ate well the whole time we were there.

Dad's top five Best Hamburgers ( in no particular order)are now:

Fudruckers, In and Out Burgers, Zestos, Five Boys Burgers, and Red Top Hamburgers ( Colorado Springs)

Five Boys Burgers draw back is they have no T-shirts!!!!

All in all it was a GREAT visit!!!!!

Perseverence Pays Off...

Whew...Thought I'd never get back in here! But...by accident I found out where I was supposed to be...So as Willie ( and GrandpaK) would say "I'm on the Road Again"!!!

It's Never Too Late...

I just read about the legend of the Easter eggs.

"Early Sunday morning, Mary Magdalen when to the tomb to annoint the body of Jesus.
Because she expected it to be a long day, she brought with her a basket of eggs for her lunch.
But, when she arrived at the tomb, Mary Magdalen discovered it was empty, the body of Jesus was gone?
Shocked, she started to set her basket down so that she could better explore the tomb.
But then something caught her eye.

Her white eggs had miraculously turned the colors of the rainbow."

(A legend or a fable is a story that doesn't pretend to be historical, but simply teaches a lesson. The events surrounding the resurrection of Christ gave rise to many legends.)
