    May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

    May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

    Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

    It is there for each and every one of us.

    For those who have wondered about where our food drives go, Ken explains:

    The food goes to the Network of Community Ministries which provides food, clothing, some limited financial assistance, and referrals, etc. to needy persons who live in the city of Richardson or the Richardson School District. We got started there because Cindy was volunteering there.
