FREE: SEAL TEAM MOVIE NIGHT-APRIL 6TH

THE Foundation for Life SEAL (Students Equipped To Advocate Life) Team hosts the 3rd Annual FREE FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT!

Mark your calendar for April 16  and invite your friends to join us for a pro-life movie night at the Maumee Indoor Theater.  Doors open at 6:30pm.   Pro-Life Contest Awards will be announced on stage at 7pm and the movie GOSNELL will start immediately after.  

The film is the shocking true story of the investigation and trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell — his 30 year killing spree and the political and media establishment that tried to cover it up. Who can the investigators really trust when a routine drugs investigation uncovers a scandal that goes all the way to the top?

Remembering Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

Welcome to another beautiful day in the neighborhood. It’s beautiful because you’re my neighbor and you’re part of it.
January 21st is a special day, a day to celebrate the life and message of one of our greatest leaders, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is also a day to celebrate us for Dr. King saw us all as one, interconnected. His message was that we should live lives of love and service. He said “life’s most urgent and persistent question is, what are you doing for others?” He believed that “unconditional love will have the final word” and “whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly”. Therefore his call to love and service.

I know you can live a life of love and service. You are an amazing human being with gifts and talents and a love to give that is unlike anyone else. You are unique, there has never been and never will be anyone just like you. So go ahead and share your gifts, your talents, your service, your love. The world needs it. We need it.

SONY DSCPeople must meet people

Jean Vanier, Untiring Advocate for People with Disabilities was honored for his five decades of advocacy for people with disabilities by being named the 2015 recipient of the Templeton Prize.

The $1.7 million award is given annually by the Templeton Foundation to a person who “has made an exceptional contribution to affirming life’s spiritual dimension, whether through insight, discovery, or practical works.” The foundation was established by the late billionaire investor and philanthropist Sir John Templeton.

In his statement Vanier, 86, said he hoped that his receiving the prize would lead to more opportunities for people with and without developmental disabilities to meet and learn from each other:

People are healed and become more human as they enter into real relationships with others. They then discover that under all the feelings of stress, rejection and humiliation, that they are someone! Those in need and those who come to help are all being healed, and are all, together, becoming more human. Our society will really become human as we discover that the strong need the weak, just as the weak need the strong. We are all together working for the common good.

 “We must start to meet: people must meet people; we are all human beings. Before being Christians or Jews or Muslims, before being Americans or Russians or Africans, before being generals or priests, rabbis or imams, before having visible or invisible disabilities, we are all human beings with hearts capable of loving.”

Have a wonderful week.
Peace,
Terry

Welcome to another beautiful day in the neighborhood.

SONY DSCIt’s beautiful because you’re my neighbor and your part of it. I got something in my email a few years ago that I saved, because it said so much to me, I may have shared it with you before, but I want to share it again with you. It’s perfect for this time, because it reveals to us just how easy it is to love, just how easy it is to be an individual savior in a world that’s begging to be saved, person by person, moment by moment. It’s another case where adults can learn from children.
