We must not,
in trying to think about how we can make a big
difference,
ignore the small daily differences
we can make which,
over time, add up to big differences
that we often
cannot foresee.

The first duty
of a human being is to assume
the right functional relationship to society
-- more briefly,
to find your real job, and do
it.

We celebrated at Café
Prague in Morrison.
Ginny had our church book
club at her home.
We read The House at
Sugar Beach, by Helene Cooper.
It was doubly interesting
because Ginny's husband, Rick,
spent four years in
the Peace Corps in Liberia,
which is the setting for
the first part of the book.
Marc Romero, from Adaptive
Adventures, was our speaker at Rotary on Friday.
Amazing stories and
pictures of people overcoming physical and mental challenges
(including his own), and
being persistent and positive despite circumstances!
Our greatest duty
and our main responsibility
is to help others.
But please, if you
can't help them,
would you please not
hurt them.

Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Previous OPQs may be found at:
James and John, the
sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to
do for us whatever we ask of you.” And he said to them, “What is it you want me
to do for you?” And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand
and one at your left, in your glory.” But Jesus said to them, “You do not know
what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized
with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They replied, “We are able.” Then
Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism
with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right hand or
at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been
prepared.”
When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James
and John. So Jesus called them and said to them, “You know that among the
Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their
great ones are tyrants over them. But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes
to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first
among you must be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to
serve, and to give his life a ransom for many."
