My Brother, Butch

April 28, 1946 - February 4, 1974
Myrle would be 65 now. It is so strange when someone dies at a young age. You can't imagine them being any older. He will always be 27 years old.

Chloe & her snowman


I ran across this picture of Chloe today and it reminded me of the ski trip picture...

Happy Resurrection Day!

We were out at the farm today and it was fun walking around seeing all of the surprises coming up out of the dirt--irises, peonies, lilacs, daffodils, etc.

Chloe went with me to the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday at the Spiritual Life Center. She whispered that she knew a way to get through this a lot quicker. I tried to tell her that "slow" is the point when you are doing a guided, Catholic meditation labyrinth. I'll try to get a picture of the 15th station (newly added). It is a huge hunk of granite-split down the middle with water running out of it, signifying the resurrection.

The Last Supper



I heard T.D. Jakes talking about communion yesterday. He was explaining the part about Jesus offering up the bread as His body. Jesus told His disciples to eat the bread. This was going to be the last time they would eat this way in a while, but He told them that after Pentecost, He would still be with them--just in a new form. He would be dwelling inside of them.
I think that is the most creative thing that the God of the Universe ever came up with.
