Meals Open.
Tom Stinson moved election of the above and Reatha seconded, and the slate was approved by class to begin 1/1/2013. Chick thanked his committee of Martha Bledsoe and Mary Katherine for their help, and he acknowledged the help of Jim Hatfield in the process. The class acknowledged the contribution of Ann Copeland over the years in the Meal Committee as she almost single evenhandedly fulfilled that function of providing meals to sick and missing members. For next year, Chick asked for volunteers to head the committee; it was mentioned the Church does provide casseroles to sick members but "Ownbey likes to look after their own." The class thanked Chick for his work leading the Nominating Committee. Mary Katherine gave the Treasurer's quarterly report noting there was $5,461.48 in helping Hands and $1,282.36 in the general fund. Carol Needy suggested we give to the Sandy Relief Fund, it was discussed and moved by Tom Stinson that we approve $500 subject to the approval of Cal Chesson and Committee, and this handling was approved. Reatha offered to complete the form. Reatha reported on emails in process 1> the nominations, 2>Health and Happiness update, 3> the Lesson Schedule, and 4> Thanks to Durward, Anne, and others for the BBQ. She mentioned she no longer babysits her granddaughter on Fridays. Jack has moved to temporary housing at SouthMinster until about Christmas he estimates.

Durward was sick and missing today and Jim filed in with a lesson on the Parables, with more time on the Shrewd Manager. We are not sure when The Meaning of Life will be taught. Don H is working on fall back lesson for next Sunday as Durward will be (elected?) in Washington DC.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
THE MEANING OF LIFE (more) - by various authors - Not sure when, will remove this soon.
Amazon Review: As with the other books of the Dalai Lama I have read, this
book combines difficult and obscure teachings with the simplicity of the
everyday. The book consists of the text of a lecture series the Dalai
Lama gave in London in 1984, before he received the Nobel Prize. The
title of the book together with its subtitle "Buddhist perspectives on
cause and effect"...

Jim opened saying Nancy was better after following a new regiment from a doctor in Huntersville. He read from Jesus Calling ("Return to me, for I have sought after you, but you continue in pursuit of your evil ways.") Reatha reminded us of the BBQ at noon and that Betty was excited about being with us. We are to recognize 90th birthdays of William W and Ken.. Anne did the neat decorations using carvings by Ken.; she has a case of Pneumonia, and several folks including Lou and Jim have colds and Reatha's Granddaughter has the Croup. Several members were not present for class and the BBQ because of the conflict with the special music celebrations.

Nice book, but poor set, September 22, 2012
I bought this book to go with the companion DVD. I was very disappointed in the quality of the DVD and the fact that it really doesn't have anything to do with the content of the book and doesn't help the viewer think through the material in the book in any real way. I only bought this book to use it with the video and I set both aside after only one session with our small group. I would not have bought this book on its own and I will not be buying any other titles
