http://www.acton.org/blog/index.html?/archives/1773-Cheerful-Giving.html&fromrss Cheerful Giving *** begin quote *** Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7) Genuine giving can be a very hard thing to do, especially when talking about money and finances. The Gospels make this abundantly clear with the story of the rich young ruler. I remember attending a church where the tithes were brought forward to the altar and being tempted to come carrying an empty envelope on several occasions. *** end quote *** Life’s a funny thing. This triggered a memory about
“donations”. I remember selling “indulgences” at the behest of the Christian
Brothers. Thinking about the “empty envelope”, it’s hard to donate to fjohn68 |

No, the mcALUMdb itself is lost. To some extent no surprise. And, it’s discouraging. And, it puts a bigger load on MikeMcE who is supplying the “class look up function” for me. # # # # # |

Giuliani morally and legislatively condones abortion rights. The New York Catholic bishops, including Cardinal Edward Eagan, have not challenged Mr. Giuliani’s pro-choice position because they remember always their economic benefactors at the Mass and at the bank. Giuliani should be declared toleratus excommunicated by the Catholic bishops, as he is an apostate heretic who scorns the infallible moral truth of the most holy Fifth Commandment: “You shall not kill.” JOSEPH E.

[1992] hi jr hope you are well and enjoying the summer. i changed my email address from {privacy invoked} to {privacy invoked}. can you please update your address book and include me in the jottings mailings? thanks so much. wish you all the best. take care ===== ===== ===== From: Reinke's Jasper (mc68alum) Persona >hi jr Well hello, my dear Ms. McG >hope you are well and enjoying the summer. Ahh, enjoying summer is best left to young folk. Us old ... jaspers ... are just content with arising each day. >i changed my email address Sigh, I've ranted about having your own email address in your own domain. http://reinkefaceslife.com/2006/10/31/ What happens if people don't get the message of the shift. I've even suggested for those, who want their email at their isp account, that they should still use their own domain and just forward the email where ever they want it. For one particularly clueless soul, I set up his domain (and this is all sanitized so as not to embarrass anyone) as "clueless.com" with an email address of "soul @ clueless.com". That was forwarded to "clueless soul @ gmail.com" for backup 'n' recovery purposes as well as their excellent spam filters. The gmail account was forwarded to the ISP where he wanted it. The return address on the gmail and the isp account were set to his domain. So his "email address" never changes no matter how many times he changes ISPs. If he accidentally deletes a message he has the gmail account to recover it from. If his ISP goes off line or their email stops working, he can fall back to gmail. And, if his ISP is bought by someone else and he is forced to change his isp email address, it's no big deal. Another benefit I just thought of his that he can use gmail's filters to squelch someone. And, he never has to worry about someone having an old email address. >can you please update your address book and include me in the jottings mailings? Done, but you can do this yourself by just sending a message to the subscribe and unsubscribe addresses. > thanks so much. Any time. >wish you all the best. take care right back at you {Extraneous Deleted} > (can you pls omit this from the jottings as i don't want to ruffle any more feathers Spoil sport! > {Extraneous Deleted} I'm sure they'd rather have me hanging on any wall any where.

(2) Send a message from your new email account to Distribute_Jasper_Jottings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com with your name and class year.
