I am a tired do-bee. Remember Romper Room and do-bees?

The thank you dinner for the volunteers was a great success. We had planned for about 175 and served closer to 200. We had plenty of food except for rolls and cake. The menu was ham, potato salad, baked beans, cole slaw, corn, rolls and cake. This was the first thank you dinner that Blessed Trinity has ever done, at least in my memory, and we will do it again next year. I said the prayer and think it was OK. I will print it here for you to enjoy.

No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself. ISLAM

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death...you are more blessed than three million people in the world.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in you wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very rare.

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Someone once said: "what goes around comes around."

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's heaven on earth.

Like the goodness of the five loaves and two fishes,
Which God divided among the five thousand men,
May the blessing of the king who so divided
Be upon our share of this common meal.
An Irish Blessing


Leslie sent a picture of Nora, all dressed up for work. She sure is a beauty. We miss them.

Enjoy a spectacular week and "Dance Like Nobody's Watching." It will be fun - I promise.
