    “Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.”  ― Elie Wiesel

    My friend Kay and I drove up to Estes Park the other day to have brunch with her friend, Nellie. As you can tell they enjoyed catching up on family, sharing a hug, catching up on the latest with each other, exchanging gifts with each other and sharing a few tears. I found it refreshing to see them connecting as friends.

    A quick post as I head out the door to start a 3-day trip. Not looking forward to this trip as a winter snow storm is moving into the area bringing overnight lows down to 0 degrees and 6-15 inches of snow along the Front Range beginning late this afternoon and continuing through Wednesday evening. This image is  from this past week as people enjoyed the warm sunshine in Old Town. It will look different tomorrow. Stay warm!

    Just got back yesterday from Phoenix visiting my parents for about 3 days. I ran around barefoot and in a t-shirt while my parents were in jackets and long pants. Took this image as we drove to DQ for a blizzard. It wasn’t that cold for them. 🙂

    Caring

    A Time of Prayer
    A Time of Prayer

    “Church will always be renewed when our attention shifts from ourselves to those who need our care.” – Henri Nouwen

    As I’ve mentioned previously I have a couple of churches I use for quiet time during the weekdays. I’ve seen this lady in the above  image several times. On one occasion she had a young girl in a wheelchair with her. At first the sounds the young girl made was disturbing but after a few minutes they no longer bothered me. In fact I was glad she was there. It also helped me realize how good my life is. I have three healthy children and four healthy grandchildren. At the moment I have a daughter and two grandchildren living with me because of poor choices. Yet, this woman has burdens in her life far greater than mine. I do not know her name but I believe Church is not the building she prays in but her willingness to car for her daughter.
