True? 

When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened.

True? 

 Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement . . . get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal. . . . To be spiritual is to be amazed.

Special Announcement: We are moving

After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood.  Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines.  Sigler will be more economical.  September 6 we begin our new adventure.

True?  

 Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely

 in a pretty and well preserved body,

 but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,    

and loudly proclaiming,

 

                                           —WOW— What a Ride !

 

 

                                      Sandra and Nina.

 

See you this Sunday.
