Lutheran Church Sanctuary: when the police made us all take refuge from a violent storm that flattened our tent & many others, hundreds of us spent the night in this hospitable church.

People spent the night everywhere. Great spirit despite it all. Next morning everyone mounted up and rode on.

November 4, Sunday Mass of Remembrance, thanks to all of you who made this Mass so special.

Tree Project update: maybe in December we will plant 100 or so trees at the new facility of Collin Co. Child Advocacy Center, Park & Los Rios.  Waiting to hear from them.

Nov. 17 Work Project: Alex Moore of Lakepoint Church helped us tremendously with our Rowlett house.  He now has a special renovation project which needs volunteer help.  It is quite a project involving another church in south Dallas.  Can you give a few hours?  Check out the project:  Download Nov. 17 Project.doc    I will be there. J.S.

November 25: advance notice–no Mass the Sunday just after Thanksgiving.  We will celebrate Thanksgiving Nov. 18.  Rosemary & I will be at her sister Clare’s house. 

See you Sunday.

Sirach 27:  Forgive your neighbor’s injustice; then when you pray, your own sins will be forgiven.
Romans 14: For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; …
Matthew 18:  Peter approached Jesus and asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often  must I forgive?  As many as seven times?”  Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy -seven times.”

It’s not a matter of going through life; it is a matter of growing steadily deeper, always broader, forever wiser.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

Paula has texted me and is doing well.  She may even be at Mass on Sunday.

Genesis 2:  The LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being.
Romans:  One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong; one man said yes to God and put many in the right.
Matthew 4:  “Get away, Satan! It is written: The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.”

For a soul to be fully developed, it must have developed a capacity for contemplative leisure, for thinking things through, for reflection and realization, for growth in understanding.  Reflection is the seedbed of artistry of any kind.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
