Dear Father Stack,

Thank you very much for being my sponsor for my LEGO Drive, as part of my Eagle Scout project.

I would appreciate it, if you would please post the attached message to your blog.

I really value all of the support from you and the Stack Community.

Thanks, Anthony DeGenova  

 

 

 

 

Sez Sir Charlie,  "Psst, quiet, want to buy cheap a like new used car?"  Now would you buy a used car from this character?

 

                                                                                                                                                                         

Dear Stack Ministry,

Hello, my name is Anthony DeGenova.  I am 17 years old, and am working on my Boy Scouts Eagle Project.  My mission is to donate LEGO blocks to under-privileged children.  This project includes the collection, cleaning, sterilizing, sorting, packaging, and delivery of the LEGO blocks to a few charities that cater to children. I plan to donate all of mine, and would like very much to collect as many as possible from friends and neighbors like you, who wouldn’t mind giving theirs up for needy children.  I am accepting both used and new LEGO blocks. Please bring the LEGO blocks to church and my parents will pick them up.  Alternatively, I will gladly pick them up from your house, at your convenience. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at:

Telephone: 972-495-3639

Email Address:  anthonydegenova@outlook.com

I look forward to your support, and hope to make this drive and my Eagle project a success. Thank you very much for your help,

Anthony DeGenova

True?  

 Don Juan assured me that in order to accomplish the feat of making myself miserable I had to work in a most intense fashion, and that it was absurd I had never realized I could work just the same in making myself complete and strong. "The trick is in what one emphasizes." he said, "We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same."

P.S.   Just in case…..

1.    Need roofing repair?  Yes, we discovered 2 leaks with all this rain.  Rosemary & I recommend Steven Summers of Pioneer Exteriors, 972-464-8488.  Hope you don't need him.  If you do, he is good.  

2.     Need bug control (roaches, ants, even mosquitoes) that is green (even the dog or cat can eat it safely)?   Try Lynn Ellis, 972-484-7287.  We have used her successfully for some years.  Been meaning to share this news for a long time.

Mention us at your own risk.

 

 

Exodus 17:  Moses’ hands, however, grew tired; so they put a rock in place for him to sit on.  Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
2 Timothy 3:  Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, . . .
Luke 18:  For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.'” 

 

A message from Cody:
Thank you all for doing what you did and for those of you who made it to the service for sure. It was a very heartfelt event to say the least.

 

 

One purpose of feasting is to get back in touch with the earth that sustains us, to glorify the God that made it and to pledge ourselves to save the land that grows our food.
