Gilberto Delgado sent in this info that might help those of you who have had difficulty with one or more of our file attachments on the blog:

I heard that some in our community are having problems downloading the articles in the blog.

I do not know if they realize that the files are Word files.  So when they key on the highlighted titles, a Word file is downloaded to their computers.

The file name will probably appear on their desktops as a Word executable file.  They must them key or double key on that to bring up the program Word and the file contents.

It is a little different than most emails, since most of them are just text files in the email content.

    Ephesians 1:  May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe in accord with the exercise of his great might, . . .
    Matthew 28:  . . . “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

    Rosemary’s Blessing

    May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

    May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

    May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

    May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

    Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

    Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this Christmas. 

    Keep me

    Bulletin 2 on the Lumbar Stenosis event:

    1.  Back operation date, 12/28/18

    2.  Spinal surgeon, Dr. Jones-Quaidoo.  Check the September, 2018 issue of D Magazine.

    3.  How did all this come about?  The best answer to me is back packing with an extra heavy pack, an observation submitted by Ron Kovatis, my Best Man in 2005 (Nobody else would take the job).   I have a refinement of Ron's observation, thanks to Beth, namely, during the  last two years I backpacked the cincture-belt around my waist stretched & I lost some weight, with the result that I carried the weight not on my waist, but on my shoulders, pushing down on my lumbar and spine.
