Blessed are...

And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:


“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

... “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Dandy's House

I am not certain why I called my grandmother Dandy.  Perhaps I was too young to voice the word "granny" or perhaps it was because she would say to me, "You are sure a dandy."  Dandy is what I called her.

Today I learned that her former home has been put up for sale. The fellow that purchased it paid $9,000.  It was in horrible condition.  He gutted most of the house and beautifully rehabbed the property.
