This weekend as my grandsons were playing basketball at Trails Rec during their summer visit I was able to read and reflect on some great quotes. Sheila and I are in the process of moving from Denver Colorado to North Richland Hills Texas.  We have great connections with family and friends there and look forward to the move in a way.  On the other hand we have had thirty three years of work in Denver that was wonderful. So this quote from Helen Keller struck me.. When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

Monday, Memorial Day. Luke 23. 44  It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, 45  for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46  Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” [ e ] When he had said this, he breathed his last. 47  The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” 48  When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away. 49  But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things. I have some more “centurions” of sorts who have praised God and declared that Jesus was a righteous man.   I wish to thank all of my family and friends who served their country and worked for our freedom.   These have served and gone to thei...
