Blue Skies
by Sharon Fisher 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Friends, I thought many of you would be interested in seeing this video clip of Al Jolson singing "Blue Skies" in "The Jazz Singer," one of the first talkie movies. This is a video clip showing him singing a few versions of "Blue Skies." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djd1XfwDAQs I love this song! It works well in lots of settings. Grace and peace, Sharon -- saf1220(a)gmail.com c: 503.807.7385

FW: Greetings from Elaine
by Lynda C 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

Send greetings and news to Elaine in her new home. We are thankful for the chance discovery of a blood clot in the injured leg, which is now being treated with blood thinners. Lynda From: Elaine K Stover <greenschemes(a)bellsouth.net> Date: Monday, August 28, 2023 at 10:09 AM To: Cock, John P. <lynda860(a)outlook.com> Subject: Greetings from Elaine Dear Lynda, Please forward this – I am on my third of 6 weeks, recovering from a fracture of my rt. Tibia. I’m about to get my beginners license for my wheelchair. I am currently in Terra Bella, a senior living facility in Greensboro, NC. It has excellent physical therapy!! The instigating reason for my hospitalization was my Zenkers divererticulum, which flared up again in June with no warning ( it was surgically dealt with in 2009). I had no warning. No pain. I choked and the rest is history. Now I am on a pureed diet – although I widely interpret that. No date has been set for the necessary surgery yet. I’m becoming refamiliarized with our health system again.!? My phone number is: 336-605-0143. Or elaine(a)greenschemcesnc.com<mailto:elaine@greenschemcesnc.com>. I’d love to hear from you! I heard this morning that this is the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington – 1963. Where were you then??? Best Wishes! Elaine Stover Terra Bella 1208 New Garden Rd. Greensboro, NC 27410

Searching for a paper
by James Wiegel 26 Sep '23

26 Sep '23

For whatever reason, I am being pushed to reconsider the other world. I found a paper by Tillich (see attached) and I remember a paper, I believe by Niebuhr called "We live in 2 worlds" or something that we studied. Anyone recall?? Have a copy?? I checked the Global Research Network website and also the online data base and was unable to find it. Of course, now that I am 78, I have to wonder . .. did it actually exist? Thanks for any help. And, how are you all doing?? Over the past 6 weeks, I have been much reminded of one of the Old Testament readings from the daily office in RS-1 Amos 5:18-24. We fled from the heat in Arizona (114 avg in July) to Colorado and a tornado met us. We returned to Arizona and Hurricane Hillary just missed us. We went to a niece's wedding in Oregon and the venue was changed due to a wildfire evacuation order. Now we are back in Arizona, but a brother- and sister-in-law are stuck at an airport in Charlotte because of Hurricane Idalia . . . Jim Wiegel Theunknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybodyscurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, allthat. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plainsailing.

Attention: Let the Earth Breathe (choral arrangement, links/attachment)
by Ellie Stock 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Subject: Let the Earth Breathe (choral arrangement); backstory of song Hi Folks, Greetings from St. Louis. I hope you have survived the heat and storms of this summer. In previous years during the Earth Day season, I have emailed the music notation and link to audio and song video of the song "Let the Earth Breathe." I am now sending a recent choral arrangement of "Let the Earth Breathe" which was excerpted from our church's (Second Presbyterian Church, St. Louis) April 22 Earth Day Service that Carleton and I coordinated. The song was arranged and accompanied by our Minister of Music, Spencer Smith, and sung by the Second PC choir. The audio recording is not a professional one, but it gives you an idea. Spencer improvises on the accompaniment music notation he wrote. Tempo and emphases can vary, but the audio gives you an idea of what can be done. Some backstory of the song: "Let the Earth Breathe" was originally written in the spring of 2012 for our local Ferguson Environmental Event which was also our local ICA 50th Anniversary Event. During the event we planned for future environmental work in the Ferguson area, colored strips which were sent to the Greenrise for the collaborative mural that was dedicated in September of 2012. From that meeting was birthed the Ferguson Eco Team that Carleton and I co-coordinate, now in its 12th year. Looking to September, some churches and groups celebrate the Season of Creation, beginning September 1 with the International Day of Prayer for Creation and ending October 4, the Feast Day of St. Francis. So, if you are part of a group/choir or know of one for which this song would be appropriate, feel free to use or pass it along. Or it could be used for Earth Day or any day. Attached (below): Let the Earth Breathe, Choral Arrangement music YouTube link: Let the Earth Breathe, Choral arrangement: https://youtu.be/QLF0orJp42Y Stay cool, and I hope you have an enjoyable rest of your summer!

Elaine Stover update
by Lynda C 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

Elaine has moved into a retirement community in Greensboro this past weekend. Her address: Elaine Stover Terra Bella 1208 New Garden Rd. Apt. 221 Greensboro, NC 27410 I love the name of the residence, Terra Bella, so fitting for a Stover residence and their family work of care of the Earth. Also I love the address of New Garden Rd. Hopefully, soon, Elaine will find a little raised spot where her talent for gardening can be displayed as she recuperates from a fractured leg and awaits surgery. Her computer is now set up so she can receive e-mails: greenschemes(a)bellsouth.net<mailto:greenschemes@bellsouth.net> Her telephone number for the land line with her old familiar number is being set up: 336-605-0143; In the meantime, use this cell phone number: 336-314-0067. Thanks to amazing friends who made the move possible. I know she will appreciate hearing from colleagues. Lynda
