HE'S ALIVE - HE IS RISEN

According to Learn the Bible site http://www.learnthebible.org/

"Jesus Christ is higher than the mighty princes, kings and emperors of the earth, higher than heaven or angels, and yet humble and lowly in heart; therefore He is compared to the
Lily of the Valley, in His exaltations, as God very high; but in His humiliations, He seems to hang down His headThe Lily of the Valley (Convallaria Majalis) is a flower, so white and pure, with its fragrant bell-shaped flowers, followed by glossy red berries. It hangs down its head and has been cited in the Bible, Matthew 6:28-30 that mentions "Christ is the Lily of the Valley
and – Song 2:1 " I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys."
Easter is a day upon which Christians believe, "HE HAS RISEN"
Dolly Singing "He´s alive" at the 1989 CMA awards.
Lyrics: The gates and doors were barred And all the windows fastened down I spent the night in sleeplessness And rose at every sound Half in hop...

The gospel hymn, Lily of the Valley is sung by Friends in Faith Quartet, from their album 'Living in the Sunlight'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhXW5QD8N1g

I have found a friend in Jesus,

He's everything to me,

He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;

The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see

All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.

In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay;

He tells me every care on Him to roll.
Refrain:
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,

He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

Happy 6th birthday, my dear Buddy

HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY, my dear BUDDY ♥ REST IN PEACE♥
On April 15, 2004 we adopted from the East Providence Rhode Island
SPCA shelter, this beagle,whose name was Buddy, born MARCH 27, 2003
An appropriate name might have been CHANCE, becaue we gave him a
second chance to live a happy canine life with humans who would love him
so much that he would become faithful and learn to trust and obey.
Buddy was 13 months old when we adopted him and badly abused
with a personality of aggressiveness. TODAY 10 years later, Buddy is the most MISSED lovable sweetest furry canine companion that anyone would love to own and love. We are so happy to have given him a love he so deserved. How we wish we could have been given many more years to share with Buddy. GONE TOO SOON

We will always  remember Buddy so patiently waiting for us to take him for his walk and his ride in the car. We took him out for a ride and gave him some healthy Canida treats. Once he was contented he curled up in the back seat and would fall asleep. We could hear his snoring of contentment. A day well-spent

March 27th Birthday in our memory

MY DAD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-vYuV3OmhE

Today if you were with us, we would be celebrating your 87th birthday, my Dad, Edmund Joseph Pacheco, who was born March 27, 1922, the eldest son of the Manuel Ruis and Virginia Camara Pacheco from East Providence, RI. He moved on to his home in heaven on June 10, 1986 at the age of 64. It was an untimely death and most unexpected.
You are deeply missed today and everyday. I miss you on your birthday, Not only for your smile, But for the piece of me that's gone. For every time I think of you, I know you are right here in my heart. IN MEMORY:

A silent thought, a secret tear, keeps your memory ever dear.

HAPPY SPRING TODAY - MARCH 20, 2009

March 20th - is the 1st day of spring for 2009

The first day of spring for 2009 is today,

Friday, March 20, 2009 Spring comes in between the 19th to the 23rd of March and at different times. It changes on a yearly basis because the first official day of spring is the (Spring) Vernal EQUINOX. This is when the sun is directly above the equator. It rises due East and sets due West and does not do so on the exact same day every year since the calendar is not exactly 365 precise days every single year. In 2009, spring will arrive on March 20th, as stated above and the sun will be above the equator, crossing to the northern hemisphere at approximately 11:47pm

FIRST DAY OF SPRING TRIVIA

The two most popular activities for the Spring season are?

Gardening and Spring Arts Festivals.

Wednesday's Walk March 4/5 Inherited Genes

June 10, 1986 my Dad died, it was just before the summer that he had promised to build a shed in our backyard with his grandson, our first born John Michael, who was 14 at the time. He said they would have it built before he and his brother would leave in August for Camp Yawgoog Heartbroken by the loss of his grandpa, he insisted that he wanted to fulfill the plans that they had. So at the age of 14, our son, John Michael built a free-standing shingled wooden 12ft by 12ft shed on a cement slab in our rear yard with no carpentry training except for assisting and watching his grandfather in the past. This project was scheduled to be built during 1986 summer vacation with his grandfather, however because his grandfather (my father) passed away unexpectedly on that day in June, John Michael planned to complete this project by himself. Saddened by this John Michael told his father and me that he would still build this shed. This shed was built with so much love that we felt that his grandfather was with him giving him the knowledge and ability to complete this project. These internal carpentry genes come from his grandfather, Edmund Joseph Pacheco and his great-grandfather, Manuel R. Pacheco, who were professional carpenters their entire lives. In the early years they worked as Pacheco and Son, building many houses. Later when Manuel died, Edmund continued working as a carpenter building and repairing Almacs supermarkets on salary rather than maintaining his own business.

Another project John completed at an early age was re-doing the basement of our church as an Eagle Scout project.

Another major project he did along side his dad (who also was not trained in carpentry) was to gut out the front and partial sides of a building we purchased to become our real estate office.
