Advent Celebrations already: this is way early, but two of my favorite performances are already scheduled for December, and tickets will go quickly.  As in past years, if you would like to join Rosemary & me, give me your name and the number of tickets you want.  We’ll have our usual evening of wine & cheese before each performance.

 

 1.  December 3, Friday, 8:00 P.M.: Dallas Symphony Pops Christmas concert (special for kids) at the Meyerson.  Tickets in the Choral Terrace (behind & above the stage & orchestra), $33.00.

 

  2.  December 14, Tuesday, 8:00 P.M.: Dallas Symphony Christmas Pageant (a platinum event) at the Meyerson. Tickets on the Orchestra Floor (like last year) $55.00.

 

I will place our orders by September 16 or 17.  Welcome to one or both wonderful evenings.

True?

 

Courage has nothin' to do with the absence of fear. Courage is when you're scared to death and you get up in the saddle and go on anyway.

    A note from Becky Good:

    Legacy Preparatory Charter in Plano is looking for a few good church families to donate to our neediest school families.  If you're one of those who feels the need to answer this call please email me so that I can make you part of the document that will contain the list of our neediest families and their children with ages and sizes.

    I will create a Google doc that can be seen by anyone so when a person signs up for a child/family everyone can see that child/family is taken/spoken for.  It should be an easy way of filling the slots without back-and-forth emails.   

    Should you want to donate money instead, email me and we will find a way to receive it if you don't want to drop off a check.

    Here's my email:  Bgood@legacypca.com

    As always, Legacy and I thank you for your constant generosity.  You are making a difference in our school community.  Thank you again.

    Checks and gifts/donations need to be dropped off by Monday, 12/15/20, so they can get it to the families.

  • Reminder for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 28, 2025

    Amos 6:  Woe to the complacent in Zion!  Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock,  and calves from the stall!
    1 Timothy 6:  But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
     Luke 16:  “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.  And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.

     


    Nothing we manage to amass here can change the value of what we really are underneath it all. “Why, snatch at wealth, and hoard and stock it?” Betty Paoli writes. “Your shroud, you know, will have no pocket.”
    The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
