“I think about this a lot. It’s amazing to me that there are people on Tumblr whose lives I know. I know what they like, I know what they do during the day, I know what they think about. I care about these people. I am concerned about their happiness and want to help make...

HOW ABOUT A PICTURE OF THAT PERSISTENT CAT OF YOURS? WHAT IS HIS NAME?
When a foreign object, such as a grain of sand, invades the body of an oyster and causes pain, a fluid is secreted that flows to the affected area. There it surrounds the invader to ease the pain. In time, the secretion hardens and becomes a beautiful and lasting pearl. In just such a manner may a thousand beautiful memories flood your mind and isolate the pain and emptiness. In time, then, may...
Response to letter of grief
Dear Margaret and family Thanks so much for your card and emails. We are all having such a hard time with the loss of Mango but are so thankful for so many things like being with her at the end, her not suffering and it happening on a Friday when we have the weekend to grieve together as a family. Drew, Andy and I just seem to take turns crying and then another tells a story or a memory and we get...
Excerpt of letter to a family member grieving for...
Our beloved animals bring so much joy into our lives that it is almost unbearable to lose them. The shock and grief seem to be overwhelming, but I hope you can remember all the good times with Mango and somehow find comfort in your memories and in knowing that your family of animal lovers is grieving with you. You and Mango were lucky to have had each other and we all gained from getting to know...
PSALM 1 ---The New Reserved Standard Bible
Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers;
But their delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law they meditate day and night.
They are like TREES planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they prosper.
The wicked are not so!...

A WONDERFUL INTERGENERATION NIGHT...
with my daughter, her best friend, and the friend’ two teenage daughters.
Ihave know these girls all their lives; we have been together for many family and friends occasions. But now the girls are teenages, 12 and 15. Tonight was a great experience, having time to be together and talk personally about events and girl talk. I was flattered to be a part of this union, and we all felt like...
