Prayer: Let's place ourselves in the [[presence]] of [[Jesus]], the Christ.

But isn't it a marvel that [[the Master]] did bring to the awareness of the day in which he lived, the merits of art and of sports -- those are two realms of [[value]] which have come to flower, at least somewhat and in some [[cultures]]. But what drudgery life might be without the diversion, [[distraction]] and delights of competitive sports as well as artistic [[expression]]. At the risk of sounding entirely [[mortal]], it could be said then, that by going to see your favorite team [[play]], you are [[doing the Father's will]]. And that is not without [[truth]], for you are participating in the sport in good faith of a battle for victory that, in the ideal, does not draw blood.

Paula: The story about the leather on the door reminds me of when I was young and the [[family]] that lived across the street from us were ardent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism Catholics] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party Democrats]. Our family was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party Republican] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism Protestant]. The family across the street had a metal figure of Christ on the Cross that was attached to the wall at the foot of the staircase and every time you went up the stairs you were supposed to [[kiss]] it. When I was over there to play I didn't kiss it, and they thought I was awful, and the worst thing they could say about me was that I was 'a dirty little Protestant Republican.' (group [[laughter]] throughout this story- especially right there)

Paula: Stories….[[bible]] stories. I used to have a [[beautiful]] little book that told all kinds of stories that I learned more from than anything I ever learned in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_school Sunday School].
