Bonnie gave me the bulbs for my birthday, and they are blooming already! I love the simplicity and the feeling of smoothness of tulips. I have a picture of tulips in our dining room in the background of this picture.

On another Sabbath, Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching. Now a man was there whose right hand was withered. The experts in the law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a reason to accuse him. Luke 6:6-7
The Pharisees probably had more faith in Jesus’ ability to heal than any of the disciples.
Did I ever mention where the picture on this blog’s banner came from?
These are the water drops on the sunroof of our car while we were washing the car. Elliot took the picture.
The simple pleasures in life are the Stuff that Matters – the title of my blog, in case you haven’t noticed.
