IT IS DERBY DAY!!! I am looking for a hat!

Good evening.
This morning the beauty of the countryside as I drove to church was heart-stopping. It is a landscape that has become very dear to me thru the seasons: in the river's valley it's easy to fall quietly into another time, another age. And then I remembered nature's terrible destructiveness yesterday on other landscapes, places that others hold dear. How to explain it all?? I can't..not easily.
Then at church, there was much joy: the confirmands were accepted into the church's membership with celebration and love. All these young people had found focus and purpose on the past year's journey.
But our church family also absorbed some terrible news: a dear couple has learned that the husband has a deadly cancer.
And there again the juxtaposition of joy and deep sorrow. That was the theme of the day, and perhaps many days in our lives and that of our country.
Thinking about it off and on throughout the day, one thing does seem clear. And that is that with God's help, it is possible to face it all...a rich, precious existence, not always understood, but appreciated nonetheless.
Can't sleep, so I thought I'd save you from being a thread killer. Mary normally kills the thread each evening. ;^)
Thanks to Molly and lysie for the thread each day. It's kinda like a safe place in a sea of chaos.
How many days till 0bama is out of office?

Good morning. Glad you had such a good time with your friend!
>>Hey, been there, done that,
Exactly the advice I was looking for, thanks. I already have the hotel and it is next to a wall in the Vatican City - near a subway stop
IT IS DERBY DAY!!! I am looking for a hat!
