Outdoor Pleasures
Having A Picnic
.
Dining outdoors is a tradition that spans many cultures and has withstood the test of time. A meal eaten under open sky in the company of loved ones is an occasion in its own right. The very character of picnics, by virtue of their bringing together so much that is pleasing to humanity, makes them a wonderful way to unwind from stress, reconnect with people and nature, and create new memories. There is something magical about picnicking. A blanket, a basket, and a landscape pleasing to the eye intensify the deliciousness of food and help us see the beauty of lazy afternoons spent in nature.

I’m not sure I can always tell love from passion. One father said of
his teenaged son, “I don’t know if he’s in love or in heat!” What
teenager would know? Besides, feelings of attraction can change more
quickly than a pouty expression.But love, in its truest form, is greater than feelings. It is as much
a decision as it is a feeling.Love is what Mr. and Mrs. Strauss shared. Mrs. Isadore Strauss was one
of the few first class women passengers to go down with the Titanic in

Some of the The Frisky ladies love to ogle the gowns at the Academy Awards, but personally? I’m not looking at tufts of taffeta when the sexiest men on the planet are dressed up like winners! Move over ladies, and let the gents be photographed! We wish they only had on sexy smiles, but a tuxedo is a close second. So here are the top 10 guys we’d like to see naked, instead of Oscar.

THE EMPTY EGG
Eight-year-old Steven was mentally retarded and had many
health problems. His health appeared to be growing worse ever
daily. His teacher was concerned his classmates might stop
identifying with him and loving him as they became more aware
of his differences.
..
In April, the teacher asked the class to put together one
plastic Easter egg filled with a small object representing new
life in the Spring. Thinking Steven might not understand (and
not wanting to embarrass him), the teacher had each child
place their egg on her desk so that she could open each one
individually. She needn’t have worried.

1 Samuel 3:1-10 (NRSV)
..
Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. The word of the LORD
was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.
..
At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see,
was lying down in his room; the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was
lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was. Then the LORD
called, “Samuel! Samuel!” and he said, “Here I am!” and ran to Eli, and said,
“Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.”
So he went and lay down. The LORD called again, “Samuel!” Samuel got up and went
to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call,
my son; lie down again.” Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, and the word of
the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. The LORD called Samuel again, a third
time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Read More
