The Lord is full of mercy and
compassion, slow to anger and of great kindness. He has come to search out and save what was lost. Let us be more concerned with doing the
Lord’s work than with idle speculation about when he will come again.

lost." Lk 19:9-10

THANK
YOU
Sunday, October 7, 2001
My apologies for not
writing sooner to thank you and the youth group for the school supplies. I consulted with a friend who is the
executive director for “Community Ministries” and has been the grinding force
in establishing the following: Homeless Shelter, Family Support Center for
those a pay check away from being homeless, After School Program & Summer
Program for children ages 6-12, Home Ownership Program, etc. She asked if it would be acceptable if some
of the items i.e. ballpoint pens, theme books, paper, could be given to those
individuals her staff has been working with – who are now going to the local
community college. Most are single moms
& they are literally pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.
The supplies will be given
to children living in the shelter or who have “graduated” with their parent(s)
to transitional housing.
God bless you for all you
do.
Sister Virginia Farrell,
M.M.

STILL more to be thankful you don’t live in the 1500’s
England is old and small
and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take
the bones to a “bone-house” and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to
have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people
alive. So they thought they would tie a
string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin, up through the
ground, and tie it to a bell. Someone
would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the “graveyard shift”) to
listen for the bell; thus, someone could be “saved by the bell” or was
considered a “dead ringer.”
