Sheets and Pillows

This Little Piggy

took a nap.

And To Dust

we shall all return. I had an image, similar to this, in mind - including myself and my daughter. As we sat in church this evening after recieving our ashes i watched others come forward. There were infants in their parents arms, young people, some very aged,children, and a lot of us who would probably think of ourselves as being middle aged. But these ashes reminded me that we are all the same distance from God. A closeness He gave us with His Life. As it turned out, by the time we got home only my wifes ashes were still visible. But I still feel mine there, and am going to try and remember through this Lenten season and maybe, with God's help- even longer.

My Valentines!

Happy Valentines Day!

Well

I did used to live there!

Quite A Present!

for me that is! My wife found a box of old negatives from back in the very early 70's- like 70-71-72. I thought they were long gone. Strangely enough I could still remember a number of them and had been wishing for many years that i hadn't lost them. The most precious, of course, were those of my family. I took so few pictures of them and am so happy to have them. I've been scanning away, impressed with the sharpness and tone of all that old tri-x 35mm film and my miranda G! And more than a little happy with how easy it is to spot the negatives digitally! Back then film got hung up in the bathroom and more often than not wound up on the floor long before it was dry! So these are few to start with.

They matter

and not just for how they've touched my life. but for the grace filled life their children will bring to this world, because of them.
