  • True?   Every gun that is made, every warship launched,
    every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense,
    a theft from those who hunger and are not fed,
    those who are cold and are not clothed.
    The world in arms is not spending money alone.
    It is spending the sweat of its laborers,
    the genius of its scientists,
    the hopes of its children…
    This is not a way of life at all,
    in any true sense.
    Under the cloud of threatening war,
    it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

    President Dwight D. Eisenhower
    April 16, 1953

  • Can anyone help one of Our Best:   Sabrina has been invited to be a People to People Student Ambassador Program from the Dallas area traveling to Spain, France, and Italy inthe summer of 2009. She is looking to do some chores or some baby sitting to earn

  • Reminder for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 7, 2025

    Wisdom 9: Who can know God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the LORD intends?  For the deliberations of mortals are timid,  and unsure are our plans.

    Philemon: Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me, but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord.

    Luke 14: Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

    Andy's ashes


    True?

    One day I had lunch with some friends.  Jim, a short, balding 80 year old, came along.

    When the menus were presented, we ordered salads, sandwiches, and soup, except for Jim who said, “Ice cream, please, two scoops.  Along with heated apple pie”

    I wasn’t sure my ears heard right, as if people did this all the time.  But when our orders arrived, I did not enjoy mine. 

    I could not take my eyes off Jim as his pie a-la-mode went down.  The other guys couldn’t believe it.  The ate their salads silently and grinned.

    The next time I went out to eat, I called and invited old Jim.  I lunched on my salad.  He ordered a sundae.  I smiled.  He asked me if he amused me.  “Yes, you do, but you also confuse me.  How come you order such rich desserts?”

    He laughed and said, “I’m tasting all that is possible.  I realize life is so short that I hate to miss anything good.  I have never been this old before.  So, before I die, I want to try those things that for years I had passed up.  I haven’t smelled all the flowers yet!”
