Knowledge
I watched the PBS weeklong documentary on the Teddy, Franklin and Eleanor and extended family. I realized that I knew nothing or very little about Teddy for sure and the others as well. I thought I knew history. Guess not. I was beginning to feel a bit uneducated, when I read Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13. He says there that love is more important than knowledge. I feel better. I may be uneducated, but I do try to love. So whenever you feel a bit diminished for whatever reason, ask yourself if you are loving today. When I am loving, I am happier. When I am simply accumulating knowledge but not loving, I don't feel quite so good, except in my ego which cannot seem to sustain any happiness.

Fr Terry,
ReplyDeleteDid you catch Derek Jeters last NY game? He mentioned that for twenty years he said a prayer before each game!
Do you suppose God might be a Yankee fan after all?
