"A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality." - Pindar

"The grace of God is a wind which is always blowing." - Sri Ramakrishna

My brother Robin has been e-mailing me pix of his TV/movie room and his back yard garden. Both are looking quite nice.

Wonderful testimonies from two returned missionaries last Sabbath... one from a Czech Republic mission and one from a Brazilian mission. I honor them by ending this BLOG session in both Slovakian and Portuguese. I'm still struggling with verbal prayer... and have been praying to get over my phoilbias (foibles + phobias).
