From Angie Carroll: I am a volunteer at the Heritage Farmstead Museum on 15th and Custer in Plano and am currently helping them to find volunteer docents to give tours of the house and grounds. There is a great training program that is held every Tuesday in May from 7 to 9pm and every Saturday in June from 3-5pm.

This has been a really fun job because there is an opportunity to meet other volunteers, learn a great deal about life in Collin County at the turn of the century, meet lots of visitors who are from all over the country and also attend several social events each year.

We are looking for any women or men who have just a few hours each month to come and give tours. Anyone interested can call me at 972-612-8169, or e-mail me at acarroll@heritagefarmstead.org.

Important technology announcement

As you may have noticed in our emails, we have set up a blog. What is a blog? Essentially it is a web site that allows for someone like me to post writings to one place for viewing by others. For the past few months we have been posting my emails to the site in addition to sending them out as we have been via regular email.

Over the course of the next few weeks we are going to transition to using the blog as the main source for distributing this information. Why? Three reasons.

First, this will dramatically reduce the amount of time I need to spend on this process. Right now, I have to break the distribution into many groups of people, taking about an hour per week. With this new process I will just have to post the text to the site and an email will be automatically generated to you.

Second, I believe the blog will allow us to cultivate a greater sense of community. In addition to allowing me to post, a blog allows you to comment on the posts. As my homilies usually end with a question, I think it would be neat for some of you (if you feel inspired of course) to answer the question or pose your own question back to me.

Third, the postings are available for future viewing and listening. All previous homilies (including the audio files) and announcements will be automatically archived. If you want to view or listen to them in the future you just need to go to the site and they will be there.

What does this mean for you? After this email (the one that you are reading) we will begin to upload the email address up to what is called an RSS feeder system. You will receive an email from a service call FeedBlitz asking you to subscribe to the service. Please accept this. This is a private list. You will not be solicited in any way and your information is kept private.

For the next two or three weeks you will receive both the standard emails from me and an email from the FeedBlitz service. Once we are satisfied that this new system is working properly you will only receive the one from FeedBlitz on an ongoing basis.

If you have any questions, please let me or Ed Kless (ed.kless@choosegreat.com) know.

Okay, Katie, are you really sure you want to get married this week??

Psalm 98,  The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power

2 Timothy 2, 8-13,  If we have died with him, we shall also live with him

Luke 17, 11-19,  10 were cleansed, were the not?

Life is tough and sometimes a person just needs to take a rest.

Leo sweet talking his dad, Ray.

 True? 

The only important thing is to follow nature. A tiger should be a good tiger; a tree, a good tree. So man should be man. But to know what man is, one must follow nature and go alone, admitting the importance of the unexpected. Still, nothing is possible without love….For love puts one in a mood to risk everything, and not to withhold important elements.
