 True? 

Life is not a race—but indeed a journey.  Be Honest.  Work  hard.  Be choosy.  Say  ”thank you,” “I love you,” and “great job” to someone each day.  Go to church, take time for prayer.  Let you handshake mean more than pen and paper.  Love your life and what you have been given, it is not accidental.  Search for your purpose and do it as best you can.  Dreaming does matter.  It allows you to become that which you aspire to be.  Laugh often.  Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them.  Some of the best things really are free.  Do not worry, less wrinkles are more becoming.  Forgive, it frees the soul.  Take time for yourself, plan for longevity.  Recognize the special people you been blessed to know.  Live for today, enjoy the moment.

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.  This is the next to last Sunday In San Vino.

True?  

I made connection with a pair of eyes, and I thought, "This is incredible; these eyes are penetrating me." I went through the whole performance just relating to those eyes, giving the whole thing to those eyes…  When curtain call finally came, I looked in the direction of those eyes, and it was a seeing eye dog…  I couldn't get over it — the compassion and intensity and understanding in those eyes, and it was a dog.

See you this Sunday.
