Today I drove up Oak Creek Canyon to this place where they installed a spigot along the road that is constantly streaming out the most amazing pure water from a deep natural spring.  I take as many glass bottles as I can find to collect as much water as I can when I go.  After filling 2 gallon jugs, and four quart bottles and 4 pint bottles, I went on my daily hike.  I met a very talented young man last night, and he was there again in the parking lot where I love to hike this evening.  He is a painter and showed me his paintings, I even bought one!  Then I remembered about the Light the World campaign and asked if he'd like a bottle of spring water I collected today - he said sure!

I like how the full moon is peeking out above the juniper tree in the background - perfect for #lighttheworld!  I had no idea this morning how I was going to do this little challenge!  It was pretty awesome when the way presented itself!

Day#3 

Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. - Matthew 12:12

Day #7

"Suffer the little children to come unto me."

This quote comes from an article on Meridian Magazine A-loving-perspective-on-difficult-children that really touched me, so I made this card with a beautiful portrait by our own Serene Heiner with a quote from the author.  There are four to a page.

Sorry folks, I came down with a cold that has just gotten worse each day, so I am skipping days 9-14!
