Maybe somebody in blogland can help get the picture to you?? My dad passed away two weeks ago. I am so heartbroken, and went to buy a book on angels, because there was a chapter in it about heaven and my dad loved angels. Billy Graham's book, Angels.....Turn to page 29. Its Chapter 3 ... the picture is A-maz-ing. Am I crazy or does this picture look exactly like the second to last picture of the clouds? I see an angel. Take good care of yourself. I check in on your blog regularly.

I usually rely on scripture for encouragement, but today I noticed a quote from one of my fave movies, "The Shawshank Redemption", and I thought I'd share. Red - I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't wanna know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you those voices soared, higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.<br /><br />Hope you know that your courage and Jack's faith are inspiring me every day. Love you,<br />Anne (Hinders) FortierAnne Fortiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-70738579638423162682012-03-19T11:32:22.690-07:002012-03-19T11:32:22.690-07:00Someone said it earlier, what I see: a Jack Bird! ...Someone said it earlier, what I see: a Jack Bird!

I want you to know that you are surrounded with love - around this country, and this world... we've had a morning dove outside our apartment window this week - waking me every day. One day it was even sitting on the ledge of our window and took off when I opened the blind to see where it was. I'm rambling. Just wanted you to know you've been on my mind every day... and especially today. Peace to you, Tim and Margaret today.
