Sunday Inspiration: Learn Best With a Beat
I remember all too well the good friend who was thrilled that she’d gotten a job teaching public school kindergarten, then proceeded to tell me how she had rescued tables and chair from the roadside, then cleaned and painted them so her students would have places to sit and work.

Now and Then: Moving Back and Forth in Time
Now and Then in Real Life
Now: We drove to Pensacola where my husband performed a small, private ceremony outdoors near the beach for our lovely niece and new husband.
Then: On arrival, memories of the wedding of my niece’s parents were suddenly as clear as the cloudless day.

Sunday Inspiration: Golden Rule Day
I bet you didn’t know that last Thursday was International Golden Rule Day.
Thanks to the folks at Charter for Compassion, I was reminded that April 5 was the day that the golden rule was celebrated around the world.
Why around the world? Did you grow up thinking that the golden rule was solely Christian?

Sunday Inspiration: “Look up at the stars”
“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet… Try to make sense of what you see and about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do, and can succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.” -Stephen Hawking
The great physicist Stephen Hawking died this past week.
