    Special Announcement: We are moving

    After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood.  Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines.  Sigler will be more economical.  September 6 we begin our new adventure.

    True?  

     Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely

     in a pretty and well preserved body,

     but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,    

    and loudly proclaiming,

  • Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome November 9, 2025

    Ezekiel 47:  This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, and empties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh.  Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live, and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes the sea shall be made fresh.
    1 Corinthians 3:  Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
     John 2:   He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables,and to those who sold doves he said, “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”

     

    Every one who looks bad isn’t, and everyone who looks suave isn’t. “Always check to see,” the Irish say, “that there’s bread under the butter.”
