We’ve completed our utility room and downstairs bathroom this week. The task turned out to be a “wee bit” bigger than I thought. However with the help of our son, Stephen and neighbor, Mitch, we prevailed.

Went to the Kindred Spirit Brewing pub last week with our friends. Enjoyed laughing, singing and savoring the different brews. My favorite is the “Pub Stout.”
Music was provided by Pat O”Brien who played requests as well as some of his favorites.
One of my favorites was "Sylvia's Mother."

Upon the Hearth the Fire is Red
“Still around the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the moon or to the sun.”

Steve Givens is retiring in June. He is younger than I was when I retired but I'm sure he will enjoy his new adventures. Please take time to check his website.

“Context shows us the true value of things. And the thing is, we're constantly discovering new context. It’s the way God opens our eyes to reality. He shows us new context. Day after day, week after week, year after year, he shows us new context. And love? Love rearranges our priorities. Context rearranges our priorities very purposefully, not in a whimsical way, but context shows us the true value of things so that we can arrange our priorities in a way that maximizes how we love. That's a beautiful thing. Context’s a beautiful thing.”

This week Dee and I attended a two evening retreat at our church. The presentation was presented by Sarah Hart. "Singer, songwriter and keynote speaker."
She was inspiring, loving and humorous as we were led through Gospel readings, reflection and song. Her stories about family and her experiences helped us understand how Jesus is always with us. How His love for us is unending and how we should be thankful for Him and the sacrifice He made.
