Bufe tells the story about Artful Eddie, a lawyer during prohibition, part of the Al Capone gang. It's a story about a father and son and the risky love of the father for his son. Bufe talks about the last week of Jesus' life. It was at a dinner party in Bethany. It was the home of Simon the healed Leper. A woman came in and poured expensive perfume on Jesus. Bufe asks us to look at 4 people: Simon the healed Leper, Lazarus who had been raised from the dead, Jesus, and the woman with the perfume. When was the last time you did something risky in the name of love? The impulsive things in life sometimes open great doors. Bufe ends with the end of the story of Artful Eddie.
