Thank you for sharing your Mama Jay with us. She is so pretty.

I think she is pretty too, but jk thinks she looks very mean. He says he is not going anywhere near her nest without a helmet!

I saw the photos of your baby birds. Seems like the birds and bees are multiplying everywhere! LOL. Isn't it fun watching these spring miracles going on all around us?

I am going to bed. Good night to any night owls lurking. Sweet dreams!

A Sailing Ship

READ: 2 Corinthians 5:1-10

We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. —2 Corinthians 5:8

Dorothy, an elderly woman, was near death. She loved the Lord and longed to be with Him. The nurse told her family that Dorothy would probably hold on until she could see her daughter, who was on her way to say goodbye. The nurse said, "It's as if Dorothy has one foot here and the other in heaven. She wants to take that last step soon."

That reminds me of the following beautiful description of dying by Henry van Dyke:

"I am standing at the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud, just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. . . . And just at the moment when someone at my side says: 'There, she is gone!' there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: 'Here she comes!' And that is dying."

Even more comforting for the loved ones of a believer who dies are the words of the apostle Paul: "If our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens" (2 Cor. 5:1). We can rejoice in our sorrow knowing our departed loved ones are now present with the Lord (v.8).

The death of people whom we love
Brings sorrow and deep pain;
But if our loved ones know the Lord,
Our loss becomes their gain. —Sper

Because Christ lives, death is not tragedy but triumph.

Bible in One Year: 1 Samuel 7–9; Proverbs 9:1-9

It’s gotta be the genes and the absence of tortured thinking, IMHO.

Thank you for the concern and prayers, I appricate it!

I ate something that didn’t agree with me or the baby growing inside of me, and I also had a terrible headache so I decided to try to rest...

Welcome, FRiends!

Good morning all.

They said no fossil fuel... it harms the environment.
They said no nuclear power... it’s toxic waste when it is spent.
They said no draft animals... their flatulence is worse than smoke.
And so we now
must pull this plow
with our own necks beneath the yoke.

[OESY]

Very nice, Cardi. A little foggy at times, but very nice.

Do you know who sang soprano this time?

[OESY]

And there you have the conundrum.

[OESY]

Good morning, Amy. I meant to send my Plumber-in-a-Blanket post to you too. Rush, rush, rush. Off again.

[Cardhu]

I only heard the birds singing - but the piano was great.

[Cardhu]

You make wonderful graphics - I am impressed.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Mayor.

Thank you for the Soul Food.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Must be.

[JustAmy]

Hope you got lots of rest and start feeling better soon.

You are exactly right! It is "tortured thinking" and angst that we see on the faces of the liberals. It's just so difficult being on the wrong side of every issue. It's takes it's toll.

Beautiful!!! The birdsong and music perfectly enhanced the lovely photos. Made my day.
