• True?  The line separating good & evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either–but right through every human heart–and through all human hearts.  This line shifts.  Inside us, it oscillates with the years.  And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.                                             Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Gulag Archipelago

• Our Christmas family: mom, 3 little girls, and a baby boy on the way.  We have reached our goal and doubled it!  More Sunday.

• Carol Eshelbrenner asks for any & all Dale Carnegie books lying around.  Her daughter Cary, a medical intern in New Orleans says that all the interns get copies of this book & they do not have enough.  

• Just a reminder that we have a treasure in our community: Greg Rogers.  He can do any building and handiwork.  Just ask Rosemary.     email: greg@able-bodiedconstruction.com  Phone 214-686-0892.
