HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Dear Brothers...

THE NICODEMUS LEAGUE will enjoy the first meeting of the new year tomorrow, 7 January, at the usual time and place!  

Box lunches from Panera will be on hand.  Speaking of food, I'll have a quick report on a new coffee establishment on the Denton square.

Something for your spirit...Here at the beginning Epiphany/Ordinary Time, we'll examine a classic hymn that conveys, lyrically, the emphases of the season:  Songs of Thankfulness and Praise

Something for your mind...Here's the question:  "When, and in what circumstances, did I begin to understand that I'm part of a larger story?"  (It comes from Richard Rohr's meditation for January 6 in  On the Threshold of Transformation.)

Something for your body...The iHealth app:  How much info is too much info (and related questions)?

Looking forward to an enriching and fun 2015, I remain...

Your Scribe,

PRDunklau

P.S.  Friends always welcome!
