WELCOMEI've still have 3 dogs. And very tall grass to mow.
Son and daughter-in-law got home at 1 a.m. today. Delayed flight from the 10:50 p.m.time when I was supposed to pick them up at the airport.
They traveled 28 hours to come home from Tahiti.
I think they'll get their dogs sometime today. Maybe at the same time the blind installers arrive. Yeah, that could be fun. Noisy and entertaining.

SUNDAY5.10 Mother's Day. Steve Miller
A mother I respect.
The story of how Jochebed saved her baby Moses.Talk about the traits we love to see in a mom.
Exodus 2:1-10; Proverbs 31:25-30
Exodus 2:1 A man from the family of Levi took a woman also descended from Levi as his wife. 2 When she conceived and had a son, upon seeing what a fine child he was, she hid him for three months. 3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket, coated it with clay and tar, put the child in it and placed it among the reeds on the riverbank. 4 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
If you were going to pay tribute to a mom you’ve known…not necessarily your own mom…who would it be and what bullet points would you make in your tribute?
UPCOMING5.17. Keith Larkin
Kids I know and love.
With school graduations going on, we talk about the kids in our life. We start with the story of the disciples trying to drive children away from Jesus. We talk about what a bachelor like Jesus might have seen in the kids. And we talk about what endears kids to us and why we have an irrational love for them no matter what.
Psalm 127:3-5
Psalm 127:3 Children too are a gift from Adonai;
Dead but not forgotten.
Start with the Bible passage of Paul, “We want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope” (1 Thess4:13). We talk about some of the people we know who have died and what they mean to us, and about our hope of a reunion.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
1 Thessalonians 4:13 Now, brothers, we want you to know the truth about those who have died; otherwise, you might become sad the way other people 14 do who have nothing to hope for. For since we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, we also believe that in the same way God, through Yeshua, will take with him those who have died. 15 When we say this, we base it on the Lord’s own word: we who remain alive when the Lord comes will certainly not take precedence over those who have died. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a rousing cry, with a call from one of the ruling angels, and with God’s shofar; those who died united with the Messiah will be the first to rise; 17 then we who are left still alive will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will always be with the Lord. 18 So encourage each other with these words.
Moving Erin and dining Mex
Second Sunday Social is cancelled this week because it's Mother's Day.
As a substitute for the Social, Linda Miller is planning a social around helping Erin Cottrell move from Lawrence to her new home in Olathe, near Ridgeview Elementary.
8 a.m., Saturday, May 23
Moving stuff from 826 New York Street, Lawrence, KS to 1408 E Central Circle, Olathe (Keith Larkin's home)Note from Erin:
Here is a map/directions link for taking K-10 to Lawrence. http://mapq.st/1KhFjov
There is an alley behind my house and I have off street parking there. It will be easiest to move larger items out the back door, so some people can park back there. My Highlander will be parked back there as well.
Mexican Feast: "Let's Feed the Movers"
Linda has prepared a signup list for anyone interested in helping with the move or with helping feed the movers.
I'll bring it to RezChat on Sunday.But as a heads up, it features all the stuff you need for tacos. The menu includes drinkables and dessert.
Note from Linda:
If you cannot help with the moving, come anyway to Keith's house for help with set-up, serving, cleanup, unpacking, and anything else you can do.
What a beautiful day to wear a hat. I have another hat for cutting the grass.

5 The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river while her maids-in-attendance walked along the riverside. Spotting the basket among the reeds, she sent her slave-girl to get it. 6 She opened it and looked inside, and there in front of her was a crying baby boy! Moved with pity, she said, “This must be one of the Hebrews’ children.” 7 At this point, his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Would you like me to go and find you one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?” 8 Pharaoh’s daughter answered, “Yes, go.” So the girl went and called the baby’s own mother. 9 Pharaoh’s daughter told her, “Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will pay you for doing it.” So the woman took the child and nursed it. 10 Then, when the child had grown some, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter; and she began to raise him as her son. She called him Moshe [pull out], explaining, “Because I pulled him out of the water.”
Proverbs 31:25 Clothed with strength and dignity,
she can laugh at the days to come.
פ 26 When she opens her mouth, she speaks wisely;
on her tongue is loving instruction.
צ 27 She watches how things go in her house,
not eating the bread of idleness.
ק 28 Her children arise; they make her happy;
her husband too, as he praises her:
ר 29 “Many women have done wonderful things,
but you surpass them all!”
ש 30 Charm can lie, beauty can vanish,
but a woman who fears Adonai should be praised.

the fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 The children born when one is young.
are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.
5 How blessed is the man
who has filled his quiver with them;
he will not have to be embarrassed
when contending with foes at the city gate.
