Discouraging News: PISD says they do not want us to plant any more trees on their campuses.  The problem: mowing. Anyone know of any other possiblities in the Plano area?  I hate to shut down our service after 20 years and thousands of trees.

TRUE?

 

In the late 1600s the finest instruments originated from three rival families whose workshops were side by side in the Italian village of Cremona. First were the Amitis, and outside their shop hung a sign: “The best violins in all Italy.” Not to be outdone, their next-door neighbors, the family Guarnerius, hung a bolder sign proclaiming: “The Best Violins In All The World!” At the end of the street was the workshop of Anton Stradivarius, and on its front door was a simple notice which read: "The best violins on the block.”

Peace to you, Harper.

Exodus 19:  Therefore, if you hearken to my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my special possession, dearer to me than all other people, though all the earth is mine.
Romans 5:  Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Matthew 9:  Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons.

It is serenity that walks us through all the changes of life. The serene person is full of the courage to let life happen in all its forms until it is possible to see clearly what must be pruned, what must be purged and what must be allowed to pursue its own perfection so that we may all grow with it.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
