 True?

This is my creed: For man the vast marvel is to be alive. For man as for flower and beast and bird the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn and the dead may know they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterward. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours alone, and ours only for a time. We ought to dance with rapture that we should be alive and in the flesh and part of the living incarnate cosmos.

Sorry, Everybody,

The old editor left out two notices from the Reminder bulletin:

1.    We are collecting for Dressed for Success ladies dresses and clothing, especially size 18 & up.  On top of this just about any clothing is welcomed.  Bill Hammond will gather everything into his car and take them to their office/warehouse.

 

2.   We are doing our Advent food drive.  Ken & Cindy will collect and deliver the food.  The items especially appreciated: 

Food Drive:  canned meats (like chili, ravioli, etc.), personal care items (shampoo, toothpaste, soap, toothbrush, etc.), peanut butter and jelly, macaroni.  These are the items that disappear the quickest, but they really can use any food or household items.
