== The “Z” Gram == --- Notes From Father Bill --

The weather (I think!) is getting warmer and that means that the project to build a Habitat for Humanity house will begin in April. Chad Carroll, a member of the parish and our parish Habitat for Humanity committee, will be speaking at all the Masses this weekend. We will need all kinds of help for this project and Mr. Carroll will explain what kind of help we will need. This is a very big project that all of the parishes in Rapid City and Piedmont have become involved in and are working very closely with Habitat for Humanity. The parishes involved are committed in building two houses under the direction of Habitat for Humanity. So, if you can be of assistance in this very important and worthwhile project, please listen to Mr. Carroll and find out how all of us can help to build a house into a home.

THE WEEKLY FUNNY…from Father Bill

A doctor examining a woman who had been rushed to the Emergency Room, took the husband aside, and said, "I don't like the looks of your wife at all.” "Me neither doc," said the husband. "But she's a great cook and really good with the kids."

ANOTHER WEEKLY FUNNY…from Father Bill

Out bicycling one day with my eight-year-old granddaughter, Carolyn, I got a little wistful. “In ten years,” I said, “you'll want to be with your friends and you won't go walking, biking, and swimming with me like you do now. Carolyn shrugged. “In ten years you'll be too old to do all those things anyway.”

******** Working as a pediatric nurse, I had the difficult assignment of giving

immunization shots to children. One day, I entered the examining room to give four-year-old Lizzie her injection.* “No, no, no!” she screamed.” “Lizzie,” scolded her mother, "that's not polite behavior.” With that, the

girl yelled even louder, “No, thank you! No, thank you!"

ONE MORE WEEKLY FUNNY…from Father Bill

On the way back from a Cub Scout meeting, a boy innocently said to his dad, “Dad, I know babies come from mommy's tummies, but how

do they get there in the first place?” After the dad hemmed and hawed awhile, his son finally spoke up in disgust, “You don't have to make up

something, Dad. It’s okay if you don’t know the answer.”

********* While I sat in the reception area of my doctor's office, a woman rolled

an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room. As she went to the receptionist's desk, the man sat there, alone and silent. Just as I was

thinking I should make small talk with him, a little boy slipped off his mother's lap and walked over to the wheelchair.

Placing his hand on the man's, he said, “I know how you feel. My Mom makes me ride in the stroller too.”
