ST. PATRICK'S CATHOLIC COMMUNITY
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA 85260

I received a blog comment from St. Patrick's in Scottsdale.

I've been to Tucson, Phoenix, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon, but I haven't been to Scottsdale.

On Google Earth just type in their address: 10815 North 84 Street, then zip 85260 and using the lever on the right you can see the roof and then other views of the church. Neat.

Their Web Site is why I'm doing this blog piece.

Check it out. I found Google worked best. Type in St. Patrick's Church, Scottsdale, Arizona.

Then hit the first hit with that name.

They have a nice menu - the Sunday readings - and some quick reflective thoughts.

Plus other stuff. Try it out.

Imagine 20 years from now attending mass with Father Google.

Love and prayers,

Andy

HAIKU SERMON

17 syllables saying much,
sermon long,
saying so little.

ORANGE HAIKU

The orange feeling so small,
not hearing the sun say,
“Wow, I helped make that!”

PURPLE HAIKU

Purple,
the color of blueberries and raspberries....
Embarassed, I'm not ready.

GREEN HAIKU

Spring, pregnant earth
gives birth, the arrival
of a billion pointing blades and leaves.

WHITE HAIKU

Snow falling all night,
in the morning no backyard junk,
Divine Eraser.

BLACK HAIKU


Dark, dark, night, seeing neither
the forest nor the trees,
only You.
