Anything that we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings, that is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.” ― Fred Rogers (Mr. Roger's Neighborhood) "Leonardo da Vinci painted the fresco (wall painting), "The Last Supper," in Santa Maria delle Grazie  church in Milan in three years (1495-1498). A very interesting story is

Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.” ― Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place We are only four days into December and I feel like I am behind and I have not even started.  For many trying to feel fulfilled turns into personal need or even greed...the constant need to feel satisfied.   For some unexplainable reason, we begin to think 'enough simply becomes not enough'.   Living in the United States there seems to be excess pushed with every ad on television and across social media.  W

My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite - only a sense of existence. Well, anything for variety. I am ready to try this for the next ten thousand years, and exhaust it. How sweet to think of! my extremities well charred, and my intellectual part too, so that there is no danger of worm or rot for a long while. My breath is sweet to me. O how I laugh when I think of my vague indefinite riches. No run on my bank can drain it, for my wealth is not possession but enjoyment.”  ― Henry David Thoreau From Terry and me...with l

TV is the shepherd.” ― Jess C. Scott, Literary Heroin (Gluttony): A Twilight Parody I do believe I might substitute FaceBook (Twitter, Instagram etc)  is the Shepherd.  My dad always used teaching comparisons on us.  "If everyone jumps off the roof, are you going to jump off the roof? If every one runs on the edge of the cliff by the ocean, are you going to do it too?"  Social media is more evil than good in my eyes and experience. Most viewers are herded right to where they want you.  Social Media lives off chaos and conflict just like TV does.  What h

It breathes best in the open air where all men can inhale its essence.” ― Louis L'Amour, The Haunted Mesa I wanted to share the video of this painting below because the book pages served as the foundation of the painting.  It sold this month at Mirada Fine Art Gallery in Indian Hills outside of Denver.  It is a painting that packs a punch and then when you see how it was conceived and how it grew, it is truly powerful. Louis L'Amour was my mother in law's favorite read. She collected all of his book. (I di
