It's Tulip Time At The Biltmore

It's a great time of the year to tour the Biltmore in Ashville NC. The weather is perfect for a picnic in the green grass front lawn or in the garden. There is something for everyone to enjoy. I always thought of Christmas as the best time. However, after this visit I'm convinced that anytime is a good time. There is always something new to see.




Honesty In All You Do

 
 
The Lord abhors dishonest scales,
but an accurate weight is his delight.
When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the crookedness of the unfaithful destroys them.
Wealth does not profit in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from mortal danger.
The righteousness of the blameless will make straight their way,
but the wicked person will fall by his own wickedness.
The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
but the faithless will be captured by their own desires
 
Proverbs 11: 1-6

Can Red Wine Make You Mean?

(I have a weird confession: Red wine makes me mean. If I have even one glass, my head feels like it's in a vice and I become super irritable. So much so, in fact, that my old boyfriend used to warn, "Ends in tears, J. Ends in tears.")
 
Looking at red wine in a different way after this interesting article.

Running On The Left Is Right

http://www.outsideonline.com/1963066/runners-stick-side-road
 
 
 
It has always been taught in elementary school to walk on the left facing traffic and ride (bikes) on the right with traffic. Somehow this must not apply to schools today. Even though it may not be against the law in some states, it is safer to follow the old school rules.
 
I see too many bike riding the wrong way and way too many runners with their backs to traffic. Please...for your safety follow the old school rules. It could save your life.

Happy Easter Weekend

 
 
“Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
 Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
 
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Matthew 5:6-14
