@edstetzer Wait. We’re not allowed to partake of gummy bears? Guilty as charged!

@TeachToDream Lol. Ah the “Michigan Left”! Takes awhile to get used to it. Good luck.

My wife Tammy baked this ham for tomorrow’s Easter dinner. Doesn’t it look delicious? That’s 16 lbs of pig!!!! 🐖 🍽

Some good news on Tuesday!
🔹 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer (June 2019).
🔹 My prostate was removed (August 2020).
🔹 A simple PSA blood test every 3 months looks for an antigen that detects the presence of cancer.
🔹 Yesterday, No Cancer Detected!

We worship today with our Palms and our Psalms. Hosanna!

One-by-one, the couples who have been married the least leave the floor, until only the longest-married couple remains. At 37 years of marriage, Tammy and I have come in second for our last two weddings. When did we become THAT OLD COUPLE? ❤️

Congratulations John & KC

I love all the colorful little “trumpets” in my yard from the Tabebuia tree. So beautiful this time of year. The sad thing is if they’re on the ground, then they’re off the tree.

My daily dose of Granddaughter. You’re welcome.

Just a little arts and crafts project with Granddaughter.

Whatever your “now” is, God is faithful!

(By the way, we can do Drive-In Church in all kinds of conditions, but wind seems to be the one in which we struggle 💨)

Tammy just decorated our home with the wooden eggs we collected when attending the White House Easter Egg Roll in 1996 & 1997. Love these keepsakes. 🐣

My granddaughter pointed out this pink tree this morning in Orlando; basically our form of Spring. I believe this is a Tabebuia tree, also known as the trumpet tree. There are several varieties; some are brilliant yellow, and some are blue. Beautiful!

Orlando nearing record warmth for Thursday. The existing record for Orlando is 87°

For 9 years now, I get Tammy a new set of towels in the color of the team that wins the Super Bowl. As the new towels are added, an old set is repurposed to the garage. What color do you think I’ll buy next year? I’m hoping for purple.

[Gary Rice @gary_rice]

Why yes, this is my grandson.
