Ecclesiastes 1:  For what profit comes to man from all the toil and anxiety of heart with which he has labored under the sun?

Colossians 3:  For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.    When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.

Luke 12:  “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”

Never fear periods of darkness in life. They are the atrium to new phases of life, the threshold to new experience, the invitation to move on from where you are to where there is more for you to learn.

The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

We have the date:  December 19; cost: $45 (cheaper than last year).  Rosemary says that you may still sign up.  Her contact, Blake, knows that we usually have a few additional people.   Total so far, 29 people.  Anybody know of a party bus?

Welcome, also, to the Rectory for wine & cheese and a ride through Highland Park to see the best lights.  

Connected with this, a plan is developing to visit the Christmas lights in Highland Park on bikes one evening, a common event in that neighborhood.  We have our guide, Chris Phipps, who lives there, and the old geezer can second, since this is his old neighborhood.  Get your bike lights polished.

4. For those of you who heard, yes, Rosemary fell on her bike Thursday morning (on the path near the corner of East Lawther and Garland Road).  The path was wet and she fell on a curve.  No broken bones, but she hit the back of her helmet.  She is being watched by our internist and me.   She is also sore all over.
