Under the main, downtown train station in Basel, Switzerland, there is this enormous, secure, and almost full bike parking area.  In Amsterdam this would not be nearly enough.  People ride bikes!

    Isaiah 50:  The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set my face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame.
    Philippians 2:  Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness;. . . .
    John 9:  He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The teacher says, “My appointed time draws near; in your house I shall celebrate the Passover with my disciples.”‘”


    “Friendship,” Coleridge writes, “is a sheltering tree.” It shades us in the sun, shelters us in the rain and protects us from the harsh winds of life. Our friends stand between us and the storms of life to give us the time and reflection we need to become our strongest selves.
    The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

    Donna Dinsmore asks for prayers for her daughter, Dana, (and unborn child) who is having  some problems during her pregnancy and still has 10 weeks to go.

     True? 

    The only important thing is to follow nature. A tiger should be a good tiger; a tree, a good tree. So man should be man. But to know what man is, one must follow nature and go alone, admitting the importance of the unexpected. Still, nothing is possible without love….For love puts one in a mood to risk everything, and not to withhold important elements.

    2 Kings 4:  When the woman had been called and stood at the door, Elisha promised, “This time next year you will be fondling a baby son.”
    Romans 6:  We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.
    Matthew 10:  And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple—amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”
