True?

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Allow the experience of fresh air and wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

To My Dear Fellow Community Members: 

 

I am thinking about Our Community donating to the Hurricane recovery $2000.   We can afford the donation and the board has approved of the move.  What do you think?

 We are in the process of selecting a trustworthy partner and one where the executives are not receiving inflated salaries.   At the moment we are considering smaller, more local groups like The Houston Mayor's special recovery fund just set up and the Houston Food Bank

 We can talk about this Sunday or you may text me or Rosemary, or send an email.

 

Thanks, John

So who let those parakeets in here?

 

 

Peace, Everybody.

Genesis 18:  One of them said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah will then have a son."

Colossians 1:  It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

Luke 10:  "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.  There is need of only one thing.  Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her."

 

Life is not one choice. It is a series of many choices. It is not one stage or phase or decision. It is many of them. And it is out of all those things that we become the fullness of ourselves.

The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
