Kindness

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city. …  And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true, for the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.” “See, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me …

The best portion of a good man's life is his little,
nameless unremembered acts of kindness and of love. *

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Jeanne and I saw NINE at the Arvada Center.

Not our favorite, but well done.

On Friday morning, we finally saw the sun!

Today, there are only a few patches of snow left on the ground in Evergreen.

Seven pelicans visited the lake on Saturday morning.

Then … they flew away before I could get a good picture of them.

 

Every man is a creature of the age in which he lives,

and few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.

* A repeat.

[Jesus said:] "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

"Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
“Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
