wow Cardhu, that is beautiful..Somehow I think it would have been nice had the artist used one of the ethereal pieces by Enya.

Leaving shortly for church.. afterward maybe movie & dinner wtih friend.. then dog walk, then concert on green at 7 PM & then maybe the Final Lakers/Celtic game.

Busy day.

I didn’t sleep last night. Did a project I have been procrastinating on. I had 1.5 Gig of pix that I needed to crop, delete etc to get onto a CD .. at 800 MB.

I did it.

It was the 8 sessions from the Biggest Friggin Loser contest from chruch.

The first video will be shown today .. I will post a link when it is on line & I want to have a CD for each participant. I will make the CDs (total will be 16) before church on their high speed muliti copy device.

I did the labels & had them printed at office max (laser) yesterday.

Have a great day everyone!!!

A Perfect Father

READ: Proverbs 20:3-7

The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him. —Proverbs 20:7

My father once admitted to me, “When you were growing up, I was gone a lot.”

I don’t remember that. Besides working his full-time job, he was gone some evenings to direct choir practice at church, and he occasionally traveled for a week or two with a men’s quartet. But for all the significant (and many small) moments of my life—he was there.

For instance, when I was 8, I had a tiny part in an afternoon play at school. All the mothers came, but only one dad—mine. In many little ways, he has always let my sisters and me know that we are important to him and that he loves us. And seeing him tenderly caring for my mom in the last few years of her life taught me exactly what unselfish love looks like. Dad isn’t perfect, but he’s always been a dad who gives me a good glimpse of my heavenly Father. And ideally, that’s what a Christian dad should do.

At times earthly fathers disappoint or hurt their children. But our Father in heaven is “merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy” (Ps. 103:8). When a dad who loves the Lord corrects, comforts, instructs, and provides for the needs of his children, he models for them our perfect Father in heaven.

How blessed are the children
Who in their fathers see
The tender Father-love of God,
And find their way to Thee. —Johnson

A life lived for Christ is the best inheritance we can leave our children.

Bible in One Year: Psalms 69–71

You are a busy gal Dolly — I am ashamed at how little I accomplish each day - but I will live with the guilt. :)

I look forward to the LINK when you have your completed your project.
