For those who have wondered about where our food drives go, Ken explains:

The food goes to the Network of Community Ministries which provides food, clothing, some limited financial assistance, and referrals, etc. to needy persons who live in the city of Richardson or the Richardson School District. We got started there because Cindy was volunteering there.

Jim Mahar of St. Bonaventure & the Bona Responds Team in Dallas to work for a week on the tornado damage.  Jim, instead of taking a cupcake (can you believe!), accepted from us a chain saw.

 Have a Great Week, J.S

(214-783-0443)

Brent, who also refuses our cupcakes, instead accepts our $2000 for Souls Harbor for this month.

 Oh God who created galaxies and worlds without number,

 Animals and plants and microbes beyond count,

 And tiny subatomic particles we can barely imagine,

 Help us to be as bountiful and gracious to all those we meet this
