If I can learn enough from my crash course this week on burning CD’s & DVD’s, during the brunch prepare yourselves to see a slide show on some of our Yosemite trips, likewise last year’s trip to Glacier Nat. Park, Montana
P.S. Anyone have a laptop they would like to sell? We need a laptop for CD
and DVD presentations. Thanks. J.S
Rosemary's Blessing of The Week
This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season.
Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth.
The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light?
What's not OK in me?
What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me?
Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice?
To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Thanks again, Folks, for doing what you can.
Rosemary's Blessing:
Prayer begins with the realization that I am loved by God as I am. God’s love is based on nothing and, therefore, is the most basic and secure fact in my life. I simply let myself be loved by God. This is not so much as activity of mine but a passivity in which I let God’s love soak in and permeate my whole being.
