Jerry (Robinson) the dentist: "Howard, How do YOU FLY?"

Howard (Borden) the neighbor: "Oh, no you don't! You're going to have to take the correspondence course just like I did."

"Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails" (I Corinthians 13:4-8)



I've got two new part-time jobs on weekday evenings. This is about the threshold of my profile, where I stand in the doorway to greet you kind of embarassed about the piles of books and clutter behind me. My shame pleads to you not to look into my room.

Families and the Gospel

In today's gospel, Jesus healed a woman and child.
This ministry of healing continues in our homes where we retreat with our wounds. When we listen, accept, encourage, hold and support each other, healing happens and Jesus is present.

"Reach Out of the Darkness" - Friend and Lover

I think it's so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I think it's so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together

(repeat)

chorus:
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend

I knew a man that I did not care for
And then one day this man gave me a call
We sat and talked about things on our mind
And now this man he is a friend of mine

chorus

I think it's so groovy now
That people are trying to get together
I think it's so wonderful and how
that people are finally getting together

Don't be afraid to love

Everybody needs somebody
