Rosemary's Blessing:   

Dear Lord, please give me

 A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,
     without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;  

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

Amen.

Expenses:     $1065.00  

Outreach:     $ 360.00

 We donated this week: 

1. $700 for Karina in Mexico.  This includes donations targeted especially for Karina in Cuernavaca, Mexico.  I will take this to her Jan. 28, when I visit Mexico to see how she is doing after the death of her mother recently.  She had panicked a bit, especially that she might get thrown out of her little garage.  She is the woman who had polio as a young girl and is crippled.  We have supported the two of them for over 20 years.

    Thanks for your Generosity
