Special Announcement: 

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.

    Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
    Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
    Now, think.
    What delight God gives to humankind
    with all these things. . . .
    All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
    We are to work with it.

    For without we cannot survive.

     Rosemary's Blessing:

    A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

     Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

    Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

    Bern 5-22-11 

    I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

    Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

     Seventeenth Century Nun’s Prayer
