REMEMBRANCE

When I am gone

Please remember me

As a heartfelt laugh,

As a tenderness.

Hold fast to the image of me

When my soul was on fire,

The light of love shining

Through my eyes.

Remember me when I was singing

And seemed to know my way.

Remember always

When we were together

And time stood still.

Remember most not what I did,

Or who I was;

Oh please remember me

For what I always desired to be:

A smile on the face of God.

The Promise Of Redemption

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

II Corinthians 4

THE DREAMERS

In the dawn of the day of ages,

In the youth of a wondrous race,

'Twas the dreamer who saw the marvel,

'Twas the dreamer who saw God's face.

On the mountains and in the valleys,

By the banks of the crystal stream,

He wandered whose eyes grew heavy

With the grandeur of his dream.

The seer whose grave none knoweth,

The leader who rent the sea,

The lover of men who, smiling,

Walked safe on Galilee --

All dreamed their dreams and whispered

To the weary and worn and sad

Of a vision that passeth knowledge.

They said to the world: "Be glad!

"Be glad for the words we utter,

Be glad for the dreams we dream;

Be glad, for the shadows fleeing

Shall let God's sunlight beam."

But the dreams and the dreamers vanish,

The world with its cares grows old;

The night, with the stars that gem it,

Is passing fair, but cold.

What light in the heavens shining

Shall the eye of the dreamer see?

Was the glory of old a phantom,

The wraith of a mockery?

Oh, man, with your soul that crieth

In gloom for a guiding gleam,

To you are the voices speaking

Of those who dream their dream.

If their vision be false and fleeting,

If its glory delude their sight --

Ah, well, 'tis a dream shall brighten

The long, dark hours of night.

They'll always have Paris

Monday, May 6, 2024 at 06:44PM

You're the top ... you're the Louvre Museum

Extra credit if you can immediately, without looking it up, identify the movie* from which this (slightly altered) title quote, and the others sprinkled throughout this post, came.

(Well, wait. The quote beneath the above photo is from a song by Cole Porter. But the rest of them, I mean.)

There's a reason.

The night before the great Gallic getaway

Let's back up for a mo.

You aren't likely to remember this so I'll remind you that we met Mike, our Audrey's boyfriend, this past New Year's Eve.

There's a first time for everything

It was a Sunday, and that morning, he joined our church. He'd been attending for several months, but none of us knew him.

I had been sick over Christmas and so I'd decided to break with tradition and do some proper celebrating on New Year's Day.

I made some festive foods and so forth, and we invited Mike to join us, and he did.

Round up the usual suspects

Within a few weeks, by mid-January, he and Audrey were dating.

But on New Year's Day 2024 over snacks and so forth, Mike told me that he was anticipating a trip to Paris in early May.

Play it again, Sam

It had been planned for some time. Mike's wife passed away in 2020; they had been married for thirty-one years and their three children are now adults.

Their eldest daughter lives in Austin, Texas. Their middle child, a son, lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Their youngest, another daughter, lives in Cambridge, England, where her husband is stationed with the Air Force.

She has two small sons -- Mike's grandchildren.

Dagny snoozing in the Uber on the way to the hotel in Paris

Mike's elderly but still young-at-heart mother lives here in Columbia.

Mike had planned for his mother to accompany him to Paris in May, and for all three of his children to meet up with them there, for several days of seeing the sights and hanging out together.

We made it to the City of Light

I was amazed as Mike told me on New Year's Day that the lodging arrangements for the group in Paris were not what one might think.

As in, everyone was not staying in one place.

No, he said. We don't do it that way. I have an Airbnb for my kids. My mother is booked at the Holiday Inn. And I have a room at the Hyatt.

Mike on a break for refreshments

I was laughing at that when he said, I just want to go to my room at the end of the day and have silence.

Or words to that effect.

Dagny relaxing at the Luxembourg Gardens ... click to embiggen

But it wasn't long at all before Mike had invited Audrey and Dagny to come along on that trip.

He said that he would give them his room at the Hyatt, and he would stay with his children at the Airbnb, foregoing much of the silence and peace he had arranged for himself.

But as we know, it's all good. The more the merrier, and so forth and so on.

This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship

Audrey ran the plan by me and her dad, and we were a tad bit shocked, but we agreed that it would be nice for Audrey and Dagny to have a chance to go to Paris and meet Mike's children.

(Audrey has been to Paris once before, in 2005, when my mother treated her to the trip as a college graduation present. She was eager to return.)

Taking the Paris Métro to the Louvre this morning

So the grand preparations began. Audrey's passport had expired and Dagny didn't have one. Those documents were secured and we began counting down the days.

Less than a week before the trip, the travelers started to get sick. It was a stomach bug. First Dagny, then a few days later Audrey, and finally even Mike had it.

Empress Eugénie's diamond brooch on display at the Louvre

Last Friday evening Audrey and Dagny dropped by the house and Audrey was still pale. But she said she felt much better. Mike was doing all right too.

The next day (last Saturday), the group -- Mike, his mother (Miss Judy), Audrey, and Dagny -- left Columbia in the early morning for Charlotte International Airport where they caught a flight to Dallas-Fort Worth.

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you

After several hours there and a two-plus-hour delay departing for Europe due to technical issues, they were off to Paris.

From there they traveled for nearly ten hours, through the night, and arrived in Paris just before six o'clock in the morning Eastern time (around noon Paris time) yesterday.

For snacks, Paul is a friendly bakery

I had been watching their flights on FlightAware all day and until I went to bed on Saturday night. I woke up Sunday morning at around five, and shortly afterward checked on their progress. They were fifteen minutes from landing at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.

They deplaned, collected their luggage, and Mike got Ubers for everyone. Dagny and Audrey were checked in to the Hyatt Paris Madeleine and got freshened up. Dagny was served a Coke, with ice, in the lobby. She was thrilled.

Gorgeous springtime skies in Paris

Miss Judy was ensconced at the Holiday Inn Gare de Lyon and Mike was getting unpacked at the Airbnb with his offspring.

Then they went out for a bit of sightseeing, and coffee, and an early supper. Dagny had pined for a baguette for weeks, and finally got her hands on one at Paul.

By around eight in the evening last night, they were back in their room and preparing to go to bed. Not having been able to sleep on the plane, Audrey had been awake for nearly thirty-three hours.

Dagny models her beret at the Blvd Saint-Michel flea market

Today they toured the Louvre. They saw the crown jewels of Louis XV and also those of Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III (Napoleon Bonaparte's nephew), president of the Second Republic of France from 1850 to 1852 and emperor of France from 1852 to 1870.

Eugénie's diamond brooch caught my eye. Audrey says its much better in person, haha.

Dramatic skies over a cathedral near Notre Dame

Before she went to bed and slept the untroubled sleep of a child, Dagny wrote a note to the hotel housekeeping staff. It read:

Review From Dagny W.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 stars ... I absolutely LOVE it here. nice BATH, nice complimentery (sic) coke, & water.

Also the room lighting is Perfect.

She mentioned the room lighting! That's my granddaughter for sure. Pirates be all about mood lighting.

And finally, the Eiffel Tower coruscating against the night sky

There were hundreds of people jostling to get near the Mona Lisa. Audrey sent me a video and it was insane. But eventually she got close enough to take a picture of the most famous painting in the world.

Afterwards Dagny bought herself a beret in a flea market (she had a few Euros in her wallet) on the Boulevard Saint-Michel, and then they went for hot chocolate before taking the Métro to see the Eiffel Tower all lit up at night.

Here's looking at you, kid

Meanwhile back here in Columbia, Chad and Erica celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on May the fourth.

They took a day trip with the boys on the day, but last evening we had a mini photo shoot.

After their wedding at our church on May 4, 2018, the photographer had them walk across the street to a field our church owns.

Elliot a/k/a Skippy is a classic Mama's Boy

Late April and early May each year, the field is filled with yellow flowers. I'm sure it's a weed but they're pretty, however very quickly they get mown down by church maintenance.

And since Erica has photos of herself and Chad on their wedding day walking and posing in the field of yellow flowers, she likes to recreate that every year.

Once a fine romance, now a family affair

So it was that last night she asked me to do the honors after our evening church service.

It was a little after seven o'clock, so the light was perfect, and there was a beautiful sky.

Rhett and Elliot made four, but I got a few shots of Cherica by themselves too.

The Germans wore gray ... you wore blue

All of these pictures remind me to count my blessings, name them one by one.

I'll keep you up to date as to the goings and doings of the group in France, but TG and I are going on an adventure of our own this week.

And you will be required obliged to read all about that, after the fact.

Keep a weather eye on the horizon!

And that is all for now.

Skunk (aka Mike Bay)

I'm so proud of you for being absolutely on top of the Paris posting! I'm happy to hear the flight went well and that Dagny approves of the hotel. She looks adorable in that beret. She does take after her Grandma just a little.
Happy Anniversary to Cherica. You are all blessed indeed.
And now I will try to patiently wait for any updates you want to send me, and also to hear about you and TG's adventure!

Mari

@Mike ... did you look at the answer or did Seymour help you? hahahah xoxo

@Mari ... oh girl I was waiting for the Paris trip to commence and the pictures to start pouring in so that I COULD blog about it, hahaha! Oh yes you will have updates if you want them, and I'll go on and on about TG's and my adventure! You can count on it, hahaha! xoxo

May 6, 2024 |

Jennifer

I guessed Casablanca on two of the quotes! My favorite is the wonderful photo of Dagny in front of the Eiffel Tower. That really ought to be framed and displayed in their home. Lots of really good Paris shots here, they should make a collage of them when they get home. Waiting for more!!!

The logistics of the Paris trip are quite something.

How wonderful that Audrey and Dagney are in Paris and having a wonderful time! I'm very happy for Audrey. I think she deserves to have a wonderful companion like Mike! Happy Anniversary to Cherica! Have fun on your adventure! Looking forward to reading all about it!

Jeanette

What a blessing this trip to Paris is for Dagny! She's adorable in her beret! And the sights she is enjoying at her age is amazing! We take so much for granted, don't we?

Loved the pictures of Erica and her family as well!

May 7, 2024 |

Dianna

@Ginny ...hahaha good for you!!! It's one of my favorite movies for sure! So many great quotes. And yes that is a great photo but wait until you see the ones they got today from on TOP of the Eiffel Tower, in perfect weather! God is so good. xoxo

@John ... I agree. I would like to go someday although I'm not fond of flying (in fact it terrifies me), but that overnight trip to Paris would take me out, I'm afraid! All that sitting, and not sleeping! Ugh I am too old for that nonsense, hahaha! xoxo

@Jeanette ... Isn't that the truth? She has waited a long time for this. And of course we prayed for years that God would bring her a good man who loves the Lord, to love her and share her life. And I have told Mike, YOU sir are an answer to prayer! No one has ever said that to me, hahaha! Yes I will share lots more. Love you friend xoxo

@Dianna ... YES I have thought of that so many times! I told her before she left, Dagny, don't let this amazing opportunity be lost on you! Take it all in! And I believe she's really into it, and I know she appreciates it, but it will mean more to her, and in different ways, as the years go by and she looks back on it. And isn't Erica and Chad's little family so sweet? I'm so glad she married a hometown young man so that they are here with us, hahaha! xoxo

May 7, 2024 |

Jennifer

Happy Anniversary to Erica and Chad .. I love the photos and what a great idea to have ones taken every year in the field. I love that idea.

May is a wonderful month to get married. Our anniversary is May 31st. :-)

Have a wonderful adventure... and cannot wait to hear more about Paris and your adventure.

Carla TePaske

@Carla ... A little early, but Happy Anniversary to you and Jeremy! Erica had always wanted to be married in May, her birth month. And as the song says, "Happy the bride the sun shines on in May" ... (I'll Be With You in Apple Blossom Time) ... love you girl~! xoxo

May 7, 2024 |

Jennifer

Well, this is exciting news indeed!
I am so happy for Audrey's finding real love. And, has anyone ever looked cuter than Dagny in a beret?! That photo of her in front of the Eiffel Tower is absolutely lovely. I predict this has flamed an interest in Dagny for more travel and adventures. Can't wait to see where that girl goes in life. Even though I am not yet old-old, I am at the age where I like to sit back and see what all the young people are up to and where their adventures lead them.
May your young ones soar.

May 8, 2024 |

Maryellen

@Maryellen ... I know, right? The beret and Eiffel Tower ... pinnacle of cliché but Dagny pulls it off, hahaha! Can't wait for you to see the pics of them at the top of the ET, where they went yesterday! And yes I'm happier on this side of the Atlantic (and ideally, at home, haha) but I like the occasional roaming spell and I too hope that Dagny will see many places in her lifetime! xoxo

May 8, 2024 |

Jennifer

Looks like a fabulous time is being had in Paris.
Happy Anniversary to Chad and Erica.
Enjoy your adventure.. looking forward to read all about it.

LOVE the pretty pictures of Erica and Chad! Please tell her I love her pretty blue outfit and that pearl necklace! Such pretty pictures in the wildflowers and I love their tradition of doing it each year. Love the pictures! And the boys look adorable! Cant believe how FAST they are getting big! Enjoying seeing the Paris pictures, and looking forward to seeing lots more! Hopefully soon! They look to be having a wonderful time and so many fun pictures. My favorite is the one of Miss Dagny in front of the Eiffel Tower in her classic hat, so fun! She is so cute and I bet she loved this adventure. I'm so glad they all got to go. And yes, I guessed Casablanca right off the bat, but you know how I love those old movies. Nothing like those anymore, sadly .Where are you and TG going on your adventure? Hope you have the most wonderful time, or if you've gone already, hope you've returned safely. Yes, May is a great month to be married, our wedding anniversary is this month. Hugs to you, take care and enjoy May before the really blazing hot weather returns to our parts.

So funny! We just returned from Paris!! I love the shot of Dagny and the Eiffel Tower at night. It's spectacular. Sounds like everyone had a great time.

Hi Jennifer,
I thought that I had left a comment on this post a few days ago. I too just returned from Paris and delighted in seeing all the Paris photos on your post. Glad they had a wonderful memorable time in their travels. I especially loved the photo with the lit up Eiffel Tower. I only saw it during the day. And of course Dangy is adorable in her Parisian looking outfit.

May 29, 2024 |

judee

@Judee ... you did leave a comment, two days ago, but I was so busy that I did not see it! Apologies my friend! Yes Paris is quite the sight, is it not? Especially at night, hahaha ... I will drop by yours and hope to read about your trip! xoxo
