Healing for Cathy & Harper.

 

True?

“The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task, it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain anymore, so it eats it. It's rather like getting tenure.”

• Daniel Dennett, philosopher, writer, and professor

 

 

Healing for Beth.
 

 

See you Sunday.

Amos 8: Hear this, you who trample upon the needy and destroy the poor of the land!
1 Timothy 2:  It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument.
Luke 16: No servant can serve two masters.  He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other.  You cannot serve both God and mammon.

 

John Cade’s Homily from last Sunday, September 14, 2025
09-14-25 Homily -Exhaltation of the Holy Cross

 

 

True is always better than false—even where I myself am concerned. “If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture,” Einstein wrote, “let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies… It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

Community Bulletin Board:

• 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.

• True?  "My children didn't have my advantages; I was born into abject poverty."  Issur Danielovitch (1916 – present)         Issur Danielovitch was born in Amsterdam, New York, son to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents from Gomel, now part of Belarus, and grew up selling snacks to mill-workers to earn enough to buy bread and milk for his family.  Somehow he made it to Hollywood, where he changed his name to Kirk Douglas.  Tuesday he will be 92 years old.

Thanks so much for making our 4th Anniversary Brunch special, for the food, for the family, and for the blood donations.  We had 15 successful donors and the blood people were grateful. 

• Our Christmas family: mom, 3 little girls, and a baby boy on the way.  Date to finish: Dec. 14, this Sunday.  Beth says we have just about everything needed.  

• In case you missed our blood drive, this from Mary Ellen Munzell:                                       There is a woman in Plano, Alyse Ferguson, who I believe resides on Turnbil.  She is undergoing chemotherapy, has had more surgeries than expected and other troublesome health issues in her family.  Currently her bill for blood alone is in the $7,000 range.  No specific blood type is required.   Anyone who is making a donation to Carter Blood Care just needs to specify that Ms Ferguson be given credit for the donated blood.

• Jackie Ritter's friend, just laid off by Everest College, is job searching.  Has a masters in library science.  Any leads?  Contact:    jritter@unitedrenovations.com
