    Deuteronomy 4:  This is why you must now know, and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God in the heavens above and on earth below,  and that there is no other.

    Romans 8:  For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.  For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a Spirit of adoption, through whom we cry, "Abba, Father!"

    Matthew 28: And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow 

    Between the crosses, row on row,

    That mark our place: and in the sky

    The larks still bravely singing fly

    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

     

    We are the dead: Short days ago,

    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved: and now we lie

    In Flanders fields!

     

    Take up our quarrel with the foe!

    To you from falling hands we throw

    The torch, Be yours to bear it high!

    If ye break faith with us who die

    We shall not sleep tho’ poppies blow

    In Flanders Field.

     

    In Flanders Fields  By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

    Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium

    Jeremiah 31: Watch them come! They'll come weeping for joy as I take their hands and lead them, Lead them to fresh flowing brooks, lead them along smooth, uncluttered paths. 

    Hebrews 5:  In another place God declares, "You're a priest forever in the royal order of Melchizedek."

    Mark 10:  "On your way," said Jesus. "Your faith has saved and healed you." In that very instant he recovered his sight and followed Jesus down the road.

    Cindy Cramer:  Here is the latest on Cindy from her daughter.

    Good news! My mom is making great progress in rehab and they've given her a tentative discharge date of August 13! She's walking on a walker already, but they want her to have time to build up her strength some more before letting her out.
     
     
    Also — there is no need to bring her food anymore. It turns out, the food at this place is really good — much better than the hospital food was! 
     
    Thank you all again so much for all your cards, gifts, thoughts, and prayers! You are really helping to make her stay more tolerable, and she is fortunate to have such a strong support network!

    Gethsemane            by Mary Oliver

    The grass never sleeps.
    Or the roses.
    Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.
    Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.
    The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet,
    and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,
    and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.
    Jesus said, wait with me. And maybe the stars did, maybe the wind wound itself
    into a silver tree, and didn't move, maybe
    the lake far away, where once he walked as on a
    blue pavement,
    lay still and waited, wild awake.
    Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not
    keep that vigil, how they must have wept,
    so utterly human, knowing this too
    must be a part of the story.
