Rosemary, even Aviana, & I have really, really so missed all of you. We hope and pray that you are all healthy and safe.
Should you need anything from the stores and cannot or feel hesitant about going out, please let me & Rosemary know. People from the community have already volunteered to shop for any of you.
We will keep you posted about next Sunday. Live stream the celebration (Mike)? Let John present his Matthew studies?
Thanks to all you members of the board who unanimously voted to take this Sunday off, even though I was looking for a loop hole.
Here is why we go to Oaxaca. The view outside our second floor window. A paradise of tropical flowers.
May you always follow your Inviting Star and watch not the bitter earth but the Starry Sky.
May you delight in Wonders Unforseen and New Adventures only now begun,
And may the God of Adventure & Pilgrimage Bless You on Your Way.

Isaiah 35: Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute will sing.
James 5: You too must be patient. Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Matthew 11: Jesus said to them in reply, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.

Rosemary’s Blessing:
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey …
I asked for health, that I might do great things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things …
I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise …
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God …
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things …
I got nothing I asked for—but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among men, most richly blessed”
Found on the body of a Confederate Soldier in the Civil War
