Rosemary's Blessing:  

 Come, O Dancing God,

Spirit of Life and Love,

of  Beauty and Diversity,

stir up my soul,

bathe me in your light,

and unleash my own spirit

that I may dance with you

and be light for those around me

and reflect your love to all that I meet this week. 

Edited and adapted from a blessing by Fr. Andrew M. Greeley

Kameran ready for his baptism Saturday.   Before the baptism, I look down at Kameran to see that he not only has an iPhone open in his had, but he is looking for a particular app with his finger.   He barely knows how to walk and already can operate an iPhone.  Just like when we were kids, yeah.

Special Announcement: We are moving

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.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season. 

Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth.

The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light? 

What's not OK in me? 

What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me? 

Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice? 

To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!
