The Friendly Skies Of New Mexico

One Of My Six Dandies


This pencil sketch was beautifully done by Barbra Joan of Florida. The sketch was inspired by a photo I took a few years ago of our 4th granddaughter, Gracie, while she was bringing me the dandiest of lions from our backyard in Woodstock, IL.

Check out more of Barbra's work on her blog. Barbra has quite a gift in watercolor and sketch art.

Anyway ... Barbra, thanks for this very cool rendition of Gracie!

No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus

The words to this song have meant more and more to me as I have aged. Even tonight as I am living under a fair amount of stress I can still find relief knowing God is in control.

If I could only spend an hour with you ... I could talk about photography ... if that's all you would allow.
BUT, I guess I would rather simply tell you how Jesus has made my life joyous even in the dark trials of life. Jesus has changed my life and I am convinced that no matter how dark your situation ... Jesus can and will change your life too if you'll let Him.

Here are the words to the song, "No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus".

I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus,
Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true;
I would tell you how He changed my life completely,
He did something that no other friend could do.

No one ever cared for me like Jesus,
There's no other friend so kind as He;
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me,
O how much He cared for me.

All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me,
All my heart was full of misery and woe;
Jesus placed His strong and loving arms about me,
And He led me in the way I ought to go.

No one ever cared for me like Jesus,
There's no other friend so kind as He;
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me,
O how much He cared for me.

Ev'ry day He comes to me with new assurance,
More and more I understand His words of love;
But I'll never know just why He came to save me,
Till some day I see His blessed face above.

No one ever cared for me like Jesus,
There's no other friend so kind as He;
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me,
O how much He cared for me.
