  • True?  The line separating good & evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either–but right through every human heart–and through all human hearts.  This line shifts.  Inside us, it oscillates with the years.  And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.                                             Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Gulag Archipelago

  • Our Christmas family: mom, 3 little girls, and a baby boy on the way.  We have reached our goal and doubled it!  More Sunday.

  • Carol Eshelbrenner asks for any & all Dale Carnegie books lying around.  Her daughter Cary, a medical intern in New Orleans says that all the interns get copies of this book & they do not have enough.  

  • Just a reminder that we have a treasure in our community: Greg Rogers.  He can do any building and handiwork.  Just ask Rosemary.     email: greg@able-bodiedconstruction.com  Phone 214-686-0892.

      12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 21, 2026

      Jeremiah 20:  But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion.
      Romans 5:  But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.
      Matthew 10:  Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

       


      Serenity is not the ability to accommodate wrongs; it is the ability to point them out without apology. “Not to be angered by injustice,” Eknath Easwaran writes, “is a lack of sensitivity.”
