Bio-degradable Mini-Planter

March 16, 2019 Comments Off on Bio-degradable Mini-Planter

Here’s how to make a bunch of starter mini-planters that are bio-degradable: Cut 6-8 small slits in a toilet paper roll and fold them over each other.  Fill with damp soil and place, with others, on a cookie sheet.  Put in a single seed and care for them until it the seeds germinate.   Plant the whole roll in your garden.

Seeds of Peace

March 30, 2018 Comments Off on Seeds of Peace

Because of the significance of the season--notably Good Friday today, beginning of Passover tonight, Easter Sunday in two days–I’d like us all to think about peace.

PEACE is God’s loving gift to us.  All He asks is that we accept it together.  All of us, from all faiths.  One way is through “The Peace Seeds.”  These 12 prayers were prayed in  Assisi on the 1986 Day of Prayer for World Peace.  They are Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Muslim, Sikh, Bahai’, Shinto, Native African, Native American, Zoroastrian, Jewish, and Christian.  They may refer to the Life Force in different ways, but all call on it to help us attain the peace our Father wishes for us.

Let each prayer touch you deeply, where your longing for peace lives. Feel the unity of the world is in its craving for peace.  Then call upon God using each prayer.  You may want to change the references you aren’t comfortable with: “Vedic Law” in the Hindu to “Holy Law” or “Buddhahood” to “Your Will.” Remember: God wants not mere words from us but a unified desire to accept His gift.

A Beautiful Way to Honor His Wife

August 18, 2015 Comments Off on A Beautiful Way to Honor His Wife

A Wisconsin man wanted to honor the wife he lost to a 9-year battle with cancer, and he wanted that honor to reflect the beauty she left behind in his heart.  She loved all flowers, especially sunflowers. He recalled the field of sunflowers they had grown together 4 years before, and he created a 60′ x 4 1/2 mile field of sunflowers in her memory.  It spans 5 farms–neighbors rented him their land for whatever price he felt was fair.

But there’s more.  The seeds will be collected and sold to raise money for other cancer patients and their families–they’re calling it “Babbette’s Seeds of Hope,” after Don Jaquish’s wife.
