Fr. Steve's Morning Email - 5/6/09

The other day I shared with you the lyrics to a Lyle Lovett song which basically lamented that no one likes him and people have not been liking each other since Cain invited Abel out for a walk.  Relationships are fascinating, really fascinating.

Tonight we are going to look at what may be a completely different way of viewing our relationships.  Instead of viewing conflict, emotional stress, etc. in a cause and effect sort of way - as in a billiard ball hitting another ball, we're going to look at it in terms of how our relationships are arranged - as in how when one pipe bursts in a home, the other pipes are forced to deal with the stress.

We're also going to look at what Jesus and Paul said about dealing with folks.  I'm really excited about this topic because it can lead to amazing transformations in how we live and interact with others.
