Special Announcement

When I looked at the email this morning for the Blog, I realized the video for Earth Day was not included.  Please go to www.johnstackministries.com and pick up the video there.  Believe me, it is worth it.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Let us pray to our God      

    To the God of Mary and Joseph,

    To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

     

    May our spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

    May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.

     

    May our hearts forgive without limit.

    May our love for friend, enemy and outcast be without measure.

    May our needs be few and my living simple.
