Portraits I love

Of a father...

Of a Melis...

Of a lydasaurus

Of a bored brother...
Of Grandma....
Of lunchtime.....
Of Char....
Of Ma.

Cafe Du Monde in the Parish-- it's not the Quarter, but still fun times

And then..............

a stunning rainbow and our stunned, awed response

tumbling rainbows, puffy clouds, a soft and snuggly place, ...

..I'm sad, and unhappy....

ILUVIT

Char: "it's not fair for me to just twiddly-dee-do-dum down here...... woah. what did I just say?"

new glasses:)

waaaaaaaaaaaah

o man, I just said bye to LA. When will I see my best nursing buddy again? What will I do without her? We better stay in touch or the world will become a dried up and sad place. She and Adam leave out Monday and though the West coast seems close, we'll be 12 hrs away. SAD. We'll never be together every day perhaps again. That can't be. And then there's my Nashville clan. Why am I leaving them too? Jamie in New York, what is happening to all my friendships? Split by vast space. I pray we can still stay close, but I don't know. I've never done this before.

sayings and more sayings that haunt my every awesome day

Melix: "what if there was a little me that popped up out of a raindrop and started doing sports, I'd be like, 'Mel, there you are, I love you, you rock'."



Mom: "Chaaaaar, are you home???"
Char: "umm,... yeah."
Mom: "haaa, I love when I do that"

Jesus told me so

Matthew 6:19-34

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
