    Today our nation celebrated the National Day of Prayer. The theme was Unity. Yesterday I emailed some folks this picture of an itsy-bitsy spider on a web it had spun above a dew-drenched flower. Zooming in diffused the background creating a weird, psychedelic effect. The National Day of Prayer theme of Unity, and the diametrically…

    On of my favorite Microsoft tools is the On This Day feature. It pops-up pictures saved over the past two decades on my One Drive that were taken on this day. It significantly assists this ole ragamuffin in remembering fond memories from days-of yore. I’ve affectionately dubbed it my AnDeHeDe . . . Anti-Dementia-Help-Device😊 Today…

    “The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.” Claude Monet Today nature treated me to this inspirational scene . . . a blooming azalea and Japanese maple reflected a Claude Monet impressionist painting on the still waters. Oscar-Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting who…

    Spring in the Smokies is in glorious bloom! Today’s woodland wander was a stroll along Beauty Boulevard. “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil or spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as one of these.” Matthew6:28 . . . until going off-trail…

    This reflective English Proverb was posted by a fellow blogger the other day:  A wise old owl sat on an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why can’t we be like that wise old bird? . . . and to this I would respectfully…

    Tomorrow is Easter. As done on previous Easter eves, here once again is one my favorite true stories. May it encourage you as together we rejoice remembering . . . “Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there.”—Clarence W.

    “Easter taught us this: that life never ends and love never dies.” Kate McGahan. Easter is this ole ragamuffin’s most beloved holiday. Recently I was both humbled and convicted reading a historical account where Easter’s resurrection message was acknowledged and fearlessly declared in the face of adversity and certain punishment. Inspired by Marxist doctrine, Russia’s…

    This evening we visited a friend who has a home on Tennessee River. Instead of watching the network evening news, we tuned in the local nature documentary on ABC . . . Abba’s Beauty Channel . . . commercial free😊 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” Psalm 119:1…

    Memory often begins to fade with age. However, mine seems to have remarkably shifted into reverse. The recent road trip my wife and I took has delightfully rejuvenated memories in ways that has me contemplating returning to college to pursue a PhD in astrophysics . . . justifying some who claim I’m ‘spaced out’😊 I…

    The view in life’s rear-view mirror is much clearer than through my front windshield . . . all fogged-up, cracked-up, and mucked-up from wrong-turn crashes. To blame it on my spontaneous, ADHD, pedal-to-the metal, chaotic journey along life’s highway would be a convenient cop-out, but . . . I knew better! As Grandma often chided…
