[Magdalen] Stewardship video: Hello! Full Video -

[Lynn Ronkainen]

...speaking of which, the Cathedral in Houston has a tradition of putting on 
a 1 act play each year, accompanied by dinner (in the last two years), in 
which all of the very extensive staff participates. (clergy and lay)

Each year it is themed along the lines of a current or classic movie or 
play. and I've heard very well written.

Alas, I have never attended. Several years after I 'moved my letter', I had 
other obligations on that day and since then, my budget is such that my 
pledge dollars go directly to the treasurer, and I find that the cost of the 
ticket to attend the stewardship 'show an expense I'd rather donate than 
spend to pay&eat/watch.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."

Thomas Merton writes, “People may spend their whole lives climbing the 
ladder of success only to find, once they reach the top, that the ladder is 
leaning against the wrong wall.”
