Members of the Reeves, Posey and Ward families
We wish to take this opportunity to express our sincere and
heartfelt appreciation to everyone, local first-responders and in
dividuals, who responded so quickly to our call for assistance
last week. Words cannot properly convey the depth of gratitude
we feel for those who searched and helped locate our precious
little one who had strayed from home. Our worse nightmare had
a “happy ending” thanks to each of you. God bless you all!

The Italian phrase “Ancora Imparo,” which means “I am still learning,” is said to have been uttered
by Michelangelo when he was 87 years old. Some might find it more than a little ironic that such a
genius and true Renaissance man as Michelangelo would still be learning near the end of his
life - he died at the age of 88 - but it was precisely his insatiable curiosity and desire to keep
learning that made him the great artist, inventor, and engineer that he was. Think of how
much poorer the world would be if he had refused to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel
simply because he thought of himself primarily as a sculptor and didn’t want to stretch his
talents. And, when you look at his great sculptures, such as the Pieta and the David, you
can readily understand why he thought of himself primarily as a sculptor. But fortunately, he
was willing to continue to learn and expand his knowledge and talents. The universe is inex
haustible; there is no end to the writing of books or the acquisition of knowledge, or the mak
ing of art. And while this thought should give us pause and even humble us, it should also
equally excite and interest us. What a wonderful journey of exploration and adventure we
are on! Keep learning. There is a whole universe out there just waiting to be discovered!
A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise coun
sel. New K.J.V. Proverbs 1:5
