Rosemary's Blessing: 

Father,

We thank you for our political freedom. 

Help us never to take it for granted and to strive that freedom

be experienced by everyone in our land, 

especially the poor and the oppressed  and eventually  by all mankind.

Rosemary's Blessing

I, God, am in your midst.

Whoever knows me can never fall.

Not in the heights, nor the depths, nor in the breadths.

For I am love, which the vast expanses of evil can never still.

Bulletin 5 on the Lumbar Stenosis event:

1. Surgery at Dallas Presby yesterday to take the pinch off of my spinal nerve which sent pain from my derriere all the way to my right foot & arch.
2. the only pain now comes from the incision.  This was expected to be pretty significant.  Remedy: 2 pain pills.  Result: no pain, but significant dizziness.  I thought I had downed 2 shots of Jack Daniels.
