“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.” 

- Lao-Tsu

Some thoughts by Boutros Boutros-Ghali 1922-2016, Secretary-General of the UN 1992-96

Ever since my youth I have been inspired whenever I contemplate the Nile, the river-god my ancestors worshipped.

The Nile flows on indifferent to mere events. It carries a message from the heart of Africa, our common home. It brings life to all who live near its banks. It contributes its water to the Mediterranean and the great civilisations which surround its shores. And ultimately it flows and merges with all the world’s oceans which link every continent and all the people of our planet.

To me, it is a constant reminder of our common humanity.

FROM CHURCH NEWS LETTERS

1. A songfest was hell at the Methodist church on Wednesday.

2. Low Self Esteem Support Group will meet on Thursday at 7 p.m. Please note that members can use the back door if they wish.

3. The pastor will preach his farewell message, after which the choir will sing, "Break Forth Into Joy."

4. Eight new choir robes are currently needed, due to the addition of several new members and to the deterioration of some older ones.

5. The third verse of Blessed Assurance will be sung without musical accomplishment.

6. During the absence of our vicar, we enjoyed the rare privilege of hearing a good sermon when Rev. Percy Lund occupied our pulpit.

7. The concert held in Fellowship Hall was a great success. Special thanks are due to the minister's daughter, who laboured the whole evening at the piano, which as usual fell upon her.

8. Cynthia remains in hospital and needs blood donors for more transfusions. She is also having trouble sleeping and requests tapes of the Minister's sermons.

Granny's Little Laptop
 Roann Mendriq

Granny has a laptop,
its sleek and shiny new;
She gazes at it fondly,
and wonders... what to do?

She keeps it gently on her lap,
she really thinks its nice,
She doesn't like the mouse at all,
she's very scared of mice!

But soon she'll start blogging
and take the world by storm,
With precise posts on ecology,
and why our globe is warm!

She'll be in touch on email,
with family friends on the net;
And keep us all enthralled,
with her global tete-a-tete!

She'll engage in quirky forums,
and have a million fans,
Asking for her recipes,
of fish curries and flans!

She'll keep the world begging,
for her poetry and prose,
For her masterpiece in Egyptology,
for the stories that she knows!

So, get set darling Granny,
we're so happy you're online,
You're a Granny in a million,

I'm so glad you're mine!!!
