Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. Fortitude is the only explanation for how we're doing this today. Faith? Service with no reward. It's going to be so much better next time. (Random sound issues.)

Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Bridging the great divide. Wanting some positive feedback now; good luck with that. Empathy, without doormatness. (We have different noise now in an attempt to fix it; this is probably worse. But it is different. It would be good to get some fidelity back too.)

Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Mammon, mommon, mommog; not a long code path. Greed and dishonesty and love of power. Don't steal from the poor, but maybe it's okay from the rich. (We know what the noise is!! Now to fix it...)

Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time. God's mercy and forgiveness, and our repentance; it's a matched set. Seeking the lost. Being lost might be a better job: you get the party. Metanoia: being different after repentance. (I don't think we lost the noise yet...)

Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time. Signing up for God's will; you'll usually be surprised. Giving up everything you're relying on -- seems a little radical. Making the commitment in a big way. Then... it's a roller coaster ride. Annulment anyone? Blueprints.

Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time. Being humble enough to give service, without relinquishing your self-worth. Using humility to get some kudos -- now we're talking.

Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time. Discipline is good, but we don't like it. Trying to get your green Hummer down the narrow path. Excess as the result of the perversion of our deepest wants and needs. To love is probably a better answer than to be loved.

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Being a prophet: it's not popular. Change versus the system, preservation opposed to progress; not really peaceful. Truth or peacekeeping in relationships.

Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Perseverance in the face of adversity. You look stupid. Getting beaten because you know more. New segment, topic of the day: monogamy.

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Greed and vanity. Dave thinks he knows what matters to God. Rainer is just crabby. How do you know if you are winning? More questions than answers. Materialism.
