SHORT BUT SWEET: Mary’s twelve-year-old daughter asked her, “Mom, do you have a baby picture of yourself? I need it for a school project.” Mary gave it to her without thinking to ask what the project was. A few days later Mary was in her daughter’s classroom for a parent-teacher meeting when she noticed her face pinned to a mural   the students had created. The title of their    project was “The oldest thing in my house.”

SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK: “If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month. Teddy Roosevelt

“I am a firm believer that every few years one needs to shake one’s life through a sieve, like a miner in the Yukon. The gold nuggets remain, the rest falls through like the soft earth it is.” Amy Poehler

“The most important work you will ever do, will be done within the walls of your own home.” Harold B. Lee

“I do have high standards. I look at everything I have done and think, “Why wasn’t that better?”” Michael Palin

“The main thing is this – when you get up in the morning you must take your heart in your two hands. You must do this every morning.” Grace Paley

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” F. Dostoyevsky

“The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let the dead things go.” May Aelious

“If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short, and there is no time for hate.” Sandy Dahl[Wife of United 93 pilot Jason Dahl]

ONE SENTENCE SERMON: Putting your phone away and paying attention when someone is talking to you: Is there an app for that? It’s called respect !
