I would like to return the favor by making you aware of our own venture:<br />I worship with a great group of artists, and we patch together our talents the night before Easter.<br />Nothing fills my artist soul like this service does. This year it's filled with visual arts, a 40ft icon, 5 original 3x5ft paintings, some amazing dramatic theater pieces, beautiful choral, gospel, folk, and rock music, newly composed music, ballet and hip-hop dancing, beat-boxing, liturgy and deeply meaningful celebration.

I was JUST telling a good friend how I just couldn't imagine putting a friend through what I put myself through....I would feel so amazingly guilty! But I laughed at your husband's description at your "curiously strong upper body strength" which made me rethink my guilt...I really love upper body strength and that won me over! :-) I love my gal pals to death...but they have girly arms! (They already know this...so I am not hurting their feelings.) So, I would love to have a "curiously strong" gal pal...! :-) Thanks for the offer...!!<br /><br />Big curiously strong hug<br />Elizabeth ;-))Elizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-47318653250128030872012-03-01T10:27:28.163-06:002012-03-01T10:27:28.163-06:00Sue,

No one but you knows how hard you work to create something that looks SO beautiful and easy. I just love your narrative (the barking dog was my favorite!) about this challenging day. <br />Now, will you do me a favor? The next time you have a deadline like this, pick up the phone and call me. I'll drive you. And I'll bring a ladder, a cooler stocked with healthy food and icy cold drinks, a second stocked toolbox, money with which to bribe or cajole help or bail money, and my second pair of hands. Plus I'm the world's best carrier/slogger/hammerer/wiper/holder-of-stuff/picker-up. And my husband tells me I have curiously strong upper body strength for moving furniture.<br /><br />Spare yourself some stress. None of us want you to crater.<br /><br />Mz VMz Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842883609317025818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-58837191878080065222012-02-28T13:11:44.206-06:002012-02-28T13:11:44.206-06:00Hi Elizabeth

I am constantly amazed at what is produced through the eye of the lens . When we see something like that in "real" we don't always see it's real beauty. Kind of like how God sees us i suppose. He sees past the broken and shattered to the real beauty that is there.
