True? 

It is your right to be happy. 
This is what you were made for. 
And if you will not resist, 
happiness will find a way 
to pour from your heart and fill your days.

Louis Schneider of Open Windows has let us know of a possible project. 

Housing Forward has scheduled the Point-in-Time (PIT) count of the homeless in Dallas and Collin County for the night of January 26, 2023.  At this web site https://housingforwardntx.org/volunteer/, Housing Forward asks for Care Packages for the homeless. These packages will be given out when volunteers are doing their annual count in January.  If anyone would like to contribute a package or so, Carolyn Bentley, would be happy  to pick up the package for delivery on or before the 14th.  Her number is 214.789.2034.  Thanks!

Zecariah 9:  He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; the warrior’s bow shall be banished, and he shall proclaim peace to the nations.  His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Romans 8:  If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.
Matthew 11:  “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

 

The question is not what we should celebrate, but what shouldn’t we celebrate. Every occasion is an occasion. It’s not the date on the calendar that matters, it’s the cognizance in our own soul of the amount of goodness around us that is in question.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

Connected with this, a plan is developing to visit the Christmas lights in Hightland Park on bikes one evening, a common event.  We have our guide, Chris Phipps, who lives there, and the old geezer can second, since this is his old neighborhood.  Get your bike lights polished.
