Question it

Puzzle Pieces

It is important that students bring a certain regamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not to worship what is known, but to question it.

Ornaments

Puzzle Pieces

My friend often arranges spontaneous "little celebrations".
Friends, and family are invited and tea, coffee, colddrink is served, relaxing music is played and the supply of cakes and pastries never runs out.
These are always warm, happy times filled with lots of laughter, fun and good company.
When the host was asked if the effort of these get-togethers are becoming too much, she replied.
As a saying I once read puts it,
"The ornaments of a house are the friends who frequent it"
I hope we all have such ornaments in our home.

Your Work

Puzzle Pieces

Your work is really important. Even the smallest job has such a definite place. It might be likened to a piece in a jigsaw puzzle; the puzzle would not be complete without it.

Light within

Puzzle Pieces

People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
