Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22: 34 – 40 But where do we get love? So far, no scientists have been able to create it. We can’t buy it,...

 I've missed connecting with my blogging friends. Its been too long, but typing is difficult with a broken arm. Six weeks into the journey, I'm improving. With prayers and therapy, soon I'll be doing as the video says. Because of the break. Becasue my son-in-law knows I like Elvis, he sent the following.  Interesting facts about the break:  My ambulance driver was a former NASCAR driver. I was in qualified hands.
