On a personal note:: I was in Toledo visiting an old friend Tom K. He has been battling colorectal cancer for about three years and is having a “rough” time of it. Pleas keep Tom K. in your prayers. Also, when I got back to Lancaster my good friend Jim G. was rushed to the emergency room.  Please keep Jim G. in your prayers. As I have often said.”All we have is today let’s make the best of it.”… Jim G. came through emergency stomach surgery and is doing as well as can be expected at this time… Prayers Work…and so do surgeons…

Art and Money::: “Money. It is a simple fact of everyday life, as well as, a fundamental principal of our social, political, and economic order. It is a medium of exchange, an index and store of value, and a universal equivalent into which most anything can dissolve. It connects, defines, and divides nations. It is pocket change and dead presidents. It is the key to happiness and the root of all evil. It has no intrinsic value apart from what we’ve given it. Money is an idea, a social contract, and one that depends on frequently-tested collective emotional states like trust, faith, and confidence.” Read More
