Decision fatigue and our spirit

no hate
Don’t ever become the person who hates others because they’re different.

 

There will be countless temptations, from countless sources, nudging you to cave into peer pressure and “theoretical logic’.

How will you stay true to your convictions with a lifetime of pressure to change?

How much will this emotional choice really cost me?

Jury Duty message
Last night i played the recording twice. In all my years, i’ve never been excused the night before. My Juror # is 528.

 

How much will this emotional choice really cost me?

Emotions are one of the toughest things to control because we are emotional beings.

Patience, compassion, and forgiveness only have vibrant power if exercised all day, every day.

True or false?

Googling during Mass

Couple days ago at Pentecost Mass
Couple days ago at Pentecost Mass.

 

We agreed the homily was ‘boring’.

Until…

Until Father asked everyone (in the middle of His homily) to Google The Nine Fruits of the Spirit.

What did you think?

Bonus question: What cross (see photo, line three) are you bearing?

Nine fruits:

The Fruit of the Holy Spirit is a biblical term that sums up nine attributes of a Christian according to Paul the Apostle in his Letter to the Galatians: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”

Context for “backstage setup”. We had to elevate the laptop (my iPhone 7-Plus) to get better bluetooth reception. The VGA cable wasn’t very long.

Context for where the screen is.

More context. One chair stacked upside down on another chair.

Audio-visual booth (center, with open door) in back left corner, next to the cry room.

 

My lavaliere microphone falls apart (that’s never happened to me in 18+ years speaking) one minute before i am supposed to speak.

As Father Benjamin is finishing my brief intro, Jordan is frantically trying to repair the microphone.

All i hear in slow-motion is, “Please – welcome – Jeff – Noel.”

A second or two later Jordan (AV tech) says, “There, it’s fixed.”

i run from the back, down the middle aisle (wich was the plan from the start), genuflect, step up “onstage” and begin.

About 30 seconds in, i realize my presentation slide clicker isn’t working,

Dear Son, did you catch how i resisted the obvious and natural human response to panic and melt-down?
