Dear Father Stack,

Thank you very much for being my sponsor for my LEGO Drive, as part of my Eagle Scout project.

I would appreciate it, if you would please post the attached message to your blog.

I really value all of the support from you and the Stack Community.

Thanks, Anthony DeGenova

 

 

 

Our Father.

 

 

Dear Stack Ministry,

Hello, my name is Anthony DeGenova.  I am 17 years old, and am working on my Boy Scouts Eagle Project.  My mission is to donate LEGO blocks to under-privileged children.  This project includes the collection, cleaning, sterilizing, sorting, packaging, and delivery of the LEGO blocks to a few charities that cater to children. I plan to donate all of mine, and would like very much to collect as many as possible from friends and neighbors like you, who wouldn’t mind giving theirs up for needy children.  I am accepting both used and new LEGO blocks. Please bring the LEGO blocks to church and my parents will pick them up.  Alternatively, I will gladly pick them up from your house, at your convenience. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at:

Telephone: 972-495-3639

Email Address:  anthonydegenova@outlook.com

I look forward to your support, and hope to make this drive and my Eagle project a success. Thank you very much for your help,

Anthony DeGenova

True?

Could it be that Bill bought that "like new" Studebaker from Sir Charlie and he is trying to sell it to these people?

 

 

True?

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home, that wilderness is a necessity.

 True?   (from Joplin, MO)   

Monday at the shelter I saw a young man eating who was obviously upset and weeping. I went over and talked to him in an effort to comfort him. In the course of conversation I asked what he had lost. His answer was …terrific. He said, "I have lost any selfishness that I had before. I have seen destruction and good people giving of themselves to help those who were hurt. I will never be the same as before

Genesis 2:  The LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being.
Romans:  One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong; one man said yes to God and put many in the right.
Matthew 4:  “Get away, Satan! It is written: The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.”

 

For a soul to be fully developed, it must have developed a capacity for contemplative leisure, for thinking things through, for reflection and realization, for growth in understanding.  Reflection is the seedbed of artistry of any kind.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
