RSVP to Tina Spicer x2086 Respect ~ Innovation Spirituality ~ Excellence SPIRITUALITY Page 2 We began our harvest of the fruit of the spirit last month in the Campus Informer. Let’s continue this month. HARVEST KINDNESS… It is important to be kind to the poor; they feel so alone. It is important to be kind to the rich; they feel so afraid. It is even important to be kind to those who are not kind in return; because God has been kind to us in our poverty, even in our wealth and in our unkindness. HARVEST GOODNESS... It is important to remember that before we can accuse another we have to confess. Our confession might cause us to realize that the forgiveness we receive is so much more valuable than the wrong done to us. HARVEST FAITHFULNESS…Today, keep your promises. Do not be in a position where someone would question your word. Likewise let no one be able to question your love or their trust in you. HARVEST GENTLENESS…Remember that we do not win by force; we win by choosing to be gentle. We harness the vast strength…so, if I raise my voice let it be in praise; if I clinch my fist let it be in prayer; if I make a strong demand let it be to myself. HARVEST SELF-CONTROL…Today make a choice; be totally drunk…with joy; be totally impassioned with faith; be totally influenced only with the presence of God. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Place all of these in your harvest basket and REST in the Lord each and every day.

They will be available to be viewed on Morning Announcements and Touch Town.** Recycling Update At the July Resident Council meeting, someone asked how do you dispose of the new curlicue light bulbs? Since these light bulbs contain a gas, they can not be recycled and they should not be put in with trash. Our Maintenance Department has agreed to dispose of them properly. Either take these light bulbs to Joe Hurley in the ground floor maintenance office or put them in any of the recycle barrels and we will give them to maintenance. ~ Lew Chizer, Recycling Chairman A friendly reminder that there are two paper shredders available for resident use in the computer lab located on the first floor near the salon. One shredder you can turn on and shred the paper manually. The other shredder is a large box that you can drop your papers into and once the box is full the company will come out and shred all the paper in a large truck before leaving the campus.
