Looking For A Term Paper Jump-Start ?

School is about to start for thousands of youngsters.  Many of you might be searching for a topic for a term paper, or some research project.  Here is a website a friend of mine from our WSB Old Timers  group pointed out to us.  It would be a great start toward a piece on the civil rights movement from the ’50’s to the late 60’s, with lots of archive video:

For those of us out of school…it makes for some interesting browsing into our American History.

Life In A Rose Perspective

Here is a photo I took of flowers from my daughter’s wedding recently: 

Luke 12:27- Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Julie had asked me to hold them for a second while she attended to something else.  As I held the roses and turned them in the light, I was again amazed at the complex forms of curves and circles that make rose petals.  And with a slight breeze their fragrance seemed to stream from each flower. 
Each gentle swirl in the petals represent a turn in our lives, some into darker shades, and some reflecting the sunlight.  Like life itself, the rose is appreciated best when you try to see it as a whole; light and dark shades, petals away from, and toward the light- all working to make something unique and wonderful in both its simplicity in design, and complexity in execution.
