New Photos/ new Visions

Albert & Me. .
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of spending time with some friends in Washington, DC. I was aware of many of the museums and memorials from my visit there when I was a teen. This time I saw only a few select things. . The National Holocaust Museum (exhibit on Propaganda), The Einstein Memorial, and Great Falls National Park. .these left an impression on me.
I have a poster with an Einstein quote "I want to know God's thoughts; all the rest is just details."
if that is true then not many things that we spend so much time debating and worrying about will probably make any difference in the big scheme of things. .but, in Stephen Covey's words, what is most important is to concentrate on First Things First: how to love, live life, and leave a legacy. The important things are those we can't see the result of by looking at the quarterly report, our annual income tax return, or our retirement fund. They can't be measured in numbers, but can be sensed in hugs, laughter, tears, smiles and the days we need a special encouragement, when someone is there to say or do the right thing. Today was one of those days. As I prepare to make another major career/life decision, I returned to familiar surroundings, music and faces at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church today. It was the right thing to do. Thank you, Sheila!
