Rosemary's Blessing:

I shall no longer allow

negative thoughts or feelings

to drain me of my energy.

Instead I shall focus on all the

good that is in my life.

I will think it, feel it and speak it.

By doing so I will send out

vibes of positive energy into

the world and I shall be grateful

for all the wonderful things it

will attract into my life.

Positivity Pledge given to me by Sandra Pratt

Thanks again, Folks, for doing what you can.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

O God, we thank you for the fact that you have inspired men and women in all nations and in all cultures. We call you different names: some call you Allah; some call you Elohim; some call you Jehovah; some call you Brahma; some call you the Unmoved Mover. But we know that these are all names for one and the same God. Grant that we will follow you and become so committed to your way and your kingdom that we will be able to establish in our lives and in this world a brother and sisterhood, that we will be able to establish here a kingdom of understanding, where men and women will live together as brothers and sisters and respect the dignity and worth of every human being. In the name and spirit of Jesus. Amen.

Invitation: Rosemary & I invite you all to our 2nd anniversary party, May 5, Fairview Farms (same place as last year), Parker & Central, northeast corner, ca. 6:00. We will have some couples renew their vows, covered dish, hors d’oeuvres, and music for dancing. Also, the slide show The Great East African trip.

From Kovatis: “Thank You” just doesn’t capture my appreciation, or that of the Groundwork Board, for your hard work and the enthusiasm you brought to the Operation A.C.T. Clean-up last Saturday. Based upon my rough calculation, we removed between 2 and 3 tons of trash from the Rochester Lakes area of the Great Trinity Forest.

Operation A.C.T. is a prime example of what a group of interested and dedicated citizens can do to “leave a place in better shape than they found it”. Please accept our sincerest thanks for helping us improve the Great Trinity Forest for the citizens of Dallas. You can be assured that this will be an ongoing mission for Groundwork Dallas.

(In a separate bulletin I will send pictures; too much now.)

Next Mass: April 15

Have a Great Week.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

… May God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world, in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don't think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.
