Rosemary's Blessing:                                  

When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away
then the work of Christmas begins:

 Lord, help us …

to find the lost,
to heal those broken in spirit,
to feed the hungry,
to release the oppressed,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among all peoples,
and to make a little music with the heart…

 Adapted from Work of Christmas Begins by Howard Thurman

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this Christmas. 

Keep me

from decorating the tree, but missing the Light . . .

from wrapping the gifts, but missing the Gift.

Bulletin 2 on the Lumbar Stenosis event:

1.  Back operation date, 12/28/18

2.  Spinal surgeon, Dr. Jones-Quaidoo.  Check the September, 2018 issue of D Magazine.

3.  How did all this come about?  The best answer to me is back packing with an extra heavy pack, an observation submitted by Ron Kovatis, my Best Man in 2005 (Nobody else would take the job).   I have a refinement of Ron's observation, thanks to Beth, namely, during the  last two years I backpacked the cincture-belt around my waist stretched & I lost some weight, with the result that I carried the weight not on my waist, but on my shoulders, pushing down on my lumbar and spine.

Have a Good Week, J.S
