Hello, Friend!

It’s Monday, so… inspired by on one of my favorite bits of the Bible, let’s start every week off with a little bit of whatever’s good and noble in the world. Here are a few excellent and noteworthy things I’m seeing in the world right now. Some are beautiful, promising, and reassuring. Some are poignant, thought-provoking, and necessary. All of them add to a greater knowing of God’s presence in this world, within our humanity, and out in the great beyond. And, they all prove there’s an abundance of spectacular, breathtaking tangible and intangible cosmic matter between us.

Please feel free to share in the comments whatever is good that you’re seeing in the world as well.

Blessings,
Marcie

WHATEVER IS LOVELY…

Rotten Tomatoes: Pinocchio Trailer

My kid and their girlfriend came home this weekend for the express purpose of roasting and heckling The Bachelorette and the new Disney adpatation of Pinocchio. While our tongues set The Bachelorette on fire (we love the Gabby and Rachel but aren’t so sure about their pursuers and of course we hate the whole concept of the show)—we never found a single reason to roast this remake of Pinocchio. It enchanted us. We loved it. We laughed and we shed a tear or two. It tenderized our jaded hearts and Cynthia Ervio as the Blue Fairy was a vision.

WHATEVER IS GRACIOUS…

CBS Saturday Morning: Museum Employee Tracks Down Missing Image of 9/11 Victim

WHATEVER IS EXCELLENT…

WHATEVER IS WORTHY OF APPLAUSE…

May your week be filled with whatever is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, gracious, excellent, and worthy of praise.

Much Peace,
Marcie
