My inspiration for this page was the following:
The greatest love is a mother’s;
Then comes a dog’s,
Then comes a sweetheart’s.
Polish Proverb
I agree with part of this, but not all. Above all human love is the love of our Heavenly Father toward us. “Greater love has no man than this…that a man lay down His life for His friends.” John 15:13. The Lord Jesus Christ loved us even in our unloveableness even in our sinful, depraved condition! You can’t get any greater love than that!
The top smaller picture is me with my children during the summer of 1986. We were camping with my mom and dad at Versailles State Park in Versailles, Indiana.
The bottom smaller picture is Mark with Piper, September 5, 2024, down in the woods by the cabin. If Mark is sitting still, Piper thinks he should be petting her. Sometimes she is between his knees and has her head on Mark’s belly, looking up at him with her puppy dog eyes begging him to pet her.
The large picture was taken today, February 14, 2025, Valentine’s Day. We went to Amigo’s Mexican restaurant in Wallburg for lunch. We wanted to stay close to home and wanted to go early enough in the day to avoid the Friday night crowds, especially since it is a holiday.
