Let Us Recognize All of God’s Creation
While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation.
– May Angelou
Created so that We May Rejoice
I am settling into my new home after driving through some of the most beautiful places in the world. It is time to return to my blog, OPreach. But since I haven’t found my stride ye, and have a few trips on the horizon, I plan to post only once a week for a while – every Tuesday or Monday. Of course if some irresistible creative thought occurs to me, I may make an “extra” post now and again.
For now I would like to share some of the beauty I have experienced along the way.
There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.
― John Calvin
So Much Has Been Given Me
Because I will be traveling cross-country, on my way to my new home in River Forest, Illinois, I am taking a break from OPreach for the month of August.

Wisdom Unshaken
Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.

A Wisdom that Cries
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
– Kahil Gibran
