Prince Charles and Princess Diana at the Piano

Consider this lovely photo of His Royal Highness Prince Charles of Wales (now King Charles III) and Her Royal Highness Princess Diana of Wales at the piano. In this intimate portrait, they seem at peace and enjoying each other's company. But looks are deceiving. This is an AI generated image via Google Gemini. Ever since the days of Forrest Gump, it became possible to recreate history or deceive others by creating pieces of history that do not exist. There's only One who will not deceive. His name is Jesus: "And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not be at once.” (Luke 21:8-9) We don't know when Jesus will return, but we know He will. Be ready!

Looking Out the Window from The Walt Disney Family Museum

Without question, a visit to the Walt Disney Family Museum should be a must see attraction for any hardcore fan of Disney's animated films or theme parks. The beautiful scale model of Disneyland alone is worth the visit! There's so much to explore, that you could quite easily spend 2 to 3 hours there.  Our visit was just what the doctor ordered. No large lines, no advance planning, no rush. Relaxing, enjoyable, and filled with opportunities to learn. (Sounds a lot like EPCOT Center in its early years.) One unexpected pleasure was the view outside. It was picture perfect as you can see!

A Piece of Good Advice

Sometimes the best advice comes in a simple and straightforward manner. Life isn't all that it's cracked up to be at time. And it can always be much better by following these three simple instructions: Be With Jesus; Become Like Jesus; Do What Jesus Did. Will life get easier? Absolutely not! It will get harder because you will wake up to a new dimension of understanding and a clearer set up priorities. But it will be filled with purpose, joy, hope and eternal rewards. Nothing is better than that!
