Quel dommage.  What a shame!!  I just heard, on the morning news. that Americans will spend 2.3 billion dollars on Easter candy.  Two-point-three BILLION dollars!!  Consider how far that money would go if given to charitable organizations.  I think of the efforts of Samaritan’s Purse, Operation Blessing, and the Salvation Army currently helping people in the South after devastating tornadoes.  (Something to think about.  I won’t “preach.”)

Also in the news: Thomas Kinkade passed away yesterday.  He was known as the “Painter of Light.”  I love his paintings!!  It is inspiring to view the mural at the Billy Graham Library.
