After what seemed to be months of rain we finally had a weekend without it!
Glorious, warm, recharging, SUNSHINE!
Sunday we went on a bike ride around the area. The weather was perfect. We ate at a new (to us) place called The Magic Bagel. We had a table outside in the shade and it was wonderful.

The only reason we even saw it was because it was next door to “Texas Rangers Fried Chicken

For desert we picked up a fruit tea.

We took it to the park to enjoy before going home.

I know, you’re saying – uh . . . Jackie that was last month.
True. However, over on this side of the planet, people today are all going around wishing each other Happy New Year! It’s the lunar calendar and this is THE biggest celebration of the year – think Christmas for Americans. Tuesday is New Year’s eve and Wednesday is the first day of the lunar year. This year is the year of the Rabbit.


I’m told across the top it says “Best Wishes to you”. The left column says “New Spring covers the land” and the right column “Blessings upon all people”. So – if you haven’t heard it lately, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I think this is one of the coolist examples of public art / sculpture I’ve run across in a long time. Enjoy!


Mehmet Ali Uysal is an artist and teacher who installed a gigantic clothespin into the ground near the town of Liège, Belgium. The clothespin was installed for the Festival of Five Seasons, an art festival featuring massive outdoor installations.
Southern Baptists have followed God’s lead to focus attention on bringing all the world’s peoples to Him. And God has responded to the faithfulness of His people. There is much to celebrate!
Are we there yet? Not yet.
But for the first time in history, we can identify the people groups that remain untouched by the Gospel. We can get there in our generation! But that last part of the journey may be the hardest.
