recommended: This Saturday, The Open Window of Dallas is
bringing to Dallas Francis Vanderwall, a biblical scholar and great
presenter. He is a long time friend and former Jesuit.
He will join us for Mass on Sunday, Sept. 29, but will
share his insights
into the Bible on Saturday, the 28th. You will
find it a fascinating and
amusing Saturday. Don’t judge him badly because
he is my long time friend. Welcome.

up. Her contact, Blake, knows that we

Connected
with this, a plan is developing to visit the Christmas lights in Highland
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.

True?
Finish each day and
be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities
have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall
begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old
nonsense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
See you
