From Geri Moran with the Shawl Ministry for Babies:
Dear Friends of Stack Ministries,

On behalf of all volunteers at St.Elizabeth Ann Seton
Shawl Ministry for babies we would like to thank you for your interest
in participating in this outreach.  We could use knitters, crocheters, and fringers plus people to sew on labels and make the tags as the need is great.

For those who are available to stop by, we meet the second Tuesday
of each month (August 11th) at 7pm in the Faith Formation Center located at
3100 W.Spring Creek Pkwy, PLN 75023
 
I believe this ministry may be a blessing to you as well.

God bless you all,
Geri

From Marianne Elwell concerning the cruise next summer:

Re the cruise – if someone is interested in the cruise, or even think they might be interested, they only have to put a deposit of $25.00 per person by 8/26.  They can always cancel (up to a certain point and I will find out what the latest cancel date is), but we need at least 8 cabins booked by then or we lose the group status. 

If you can put in the blog to encourage anyone who even might be interested (including yourselves in case your hips fail) just to put the deposit down, if we get at least 8 cabins, we’ll be good to go.

True?  Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.
Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love,
grace, and gratitude.

Note: Following discussion among the board members, we decided that we have to give up inviting our dogs to Mass.  Some people have allergies, some are skittish, but above all the Health Dept. might get upset and invite us out.  So sorry, you kids and dog lovers.  J.S.

 It is Ron & Barbara Senters' birthdays this week.   They are at the lake house, but I have their cupcake.  Suddenly this woman, so called Lynda, presents a text message on her iPhone to the effect that she should be given the Senters' cupcake.   Would you believe that??

True? 

 Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.

On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. 'Guess what, Mom,' he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me. ‘I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'
