Kansas City to our rescue.  Post tornado neighborhood clean up has been really helped with a number of these gigantic trucks which say on their doors, Kansas City Tree Care.  One of these trucks even tipped over on our street when it must have gotten overloaded.  Nevertheless, still a  terrific help.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

… May God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world, in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don't think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.

to feed the hungry,
to release the oppressed,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among all peoples,
and to make a little music with the heart…
