            Ah, the snow is melting. isn't it?  Maybe we can get outside
again soon.

            This Sunday:   5 pm Sunday dinner & Bible study.  Our weekly
gathering, after a "super" Sunday off, continues Feb. 11.  As for the Bible
study - "can I come if I've never been to a Bible study before?"
ABSOLUTELY!  This is a 101 class, no prior experience necessary.  We take
off our shoes, sit on the carpeted floor on beanbag chairs, with snacks and
printouts of the scripture section and the lyrics.  This time we'll be
looking at "She's Leaving Home" (from the Sgt. Pepper album, 1967), Exodus
32 and Matthew 26:47-56.  This week I picked up a book The Gospel According
to the Beatles.  Pretty cool, if you're into them.  Even if you're not, I
think you'll find some of the overlap pretty intriguing.  Hope to see you
here - we gather in the classroom building, the southernmost building on our
campus.

            Wednesdays at 7 pm - Holy Eucharist at St Paul's - this past
week PhD candidate Matt Rogers gave a homily on bacon.  Yep.  "Mmm, bacon."
Matt, Veronica Richard, Joseph Chaisson and Brian Johnson lead the music.
Next Wednesday Veronica will do the preaching.  Hope you can come by.  Check
our web site for past messages.

>From Exodus 3:11-12a:

            Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and
bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" He said, "I will be with you."

            I think of this verse when I'm feeling lost or alone.  Moses had
every reason to feel overwhelmed - he was expected to speak truth to power
and to bear the responsibility of freeing thousands.  God's promise is
simple - not to fix everything or to take away the burden.  The promise is
to be present, to stand with through whatever.  You may have heard me pray
for you or someone else that you "may never forget how much God loves you
and how near God is to you always."  Exodus is where this starts - "I will
be with you."

            Blessings, now and always.  Let me know how I can serve you.

In Christ,

Rob+

"Do Not Stand Idly By" is this year's theme for Holocaust Awareness Week
which will occur during the week of February 26 - March 2, 2007. Inspired by
the theme we - the members of Students for Holocaust Awareness - urge you to
"not stand idly by." 

The purpose of Holocaust Awareness Week is to remember those who were
murdered and ensure that atrocities like those that occurred during WWII do
not happen again. Every day during Holocaust Awareness Week we will be
reading the names of some of those who died in the Holocaust during the
"Litany of the Martyrs." 

We need YOUR help. We are looking for volunteers to sign up to read names
during the week. The Litany takes place from 10am to 2pm Monday to Thursday
and from 10am to 12pm on Friday in the Sunken Lounge of the LSC. Fifteen
minute slots are available to be split between two volunteers and volunteers
are able to sign up for as many slots as they wish. To volunteer, go to the
website below to sign up for a specific time(s):
http://www.studentaffairs.colostate.edu/holocaust-awareness/

               If you would be interested in having a representative from
Students for Holocaust Awareness come to your organization's meeting to
describe the Litany of the Martyrs, please email Lilli Welch at
lilli330 at simla.colostate.edu.

to help support our mission which is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's
disease and myeloma and to improve the quality of life for patients and
their families.  We would love to have your organization involved.  For

Dorothy Day

- Icon of the Streets-

            She had dropped out of everything worth belonging too, if what
you are about in life is credentials. She had dropped out of her family. She
had dropped out of college. She had dropped out of capitalism. She had
dropped out of churches. She had dropped out of marriage.  She had dropped
out of the system. She had dropped out of a world marked by all the
niceties.  Dorothy Day lived in a world of her own. She understood life, she
said, out of experience, "I see only too clearly how bad people are. It's my
own sins that give me such clarity."  But if Dorothy Day is model of
anything at all, it is certainly the fact that life is not over till its
over. What Dorothy Day raised out of the ashes of her life is a monument to
living.  "People want peace," she wrote, "but not the things that make for
peace." For Dorothy, the things that "made for peace" were the daily,
unstinting, unlimited works of mercy. 

            She began The Catholic Worker, a penny newspaper, to admonish
and instruct and counsel people everywhere who like her could not make sense
out of a world that called itself Christian but had gone officially mad,
grinding people under heel in the name of private enterprise, destroying
nations in the name of liberating them, enslaving people in the name of
human rights. At its peak the circulation of the paper rose to over 150,000.
