Practice more, preach less.

Visitation Catholic Parish down on 55th and Main recently completed a $14 million renovation. They claim it is because they needed more space to accomodate an increasing number of parishoners. I went in today, and saw Italian marble tiles and custom-made solid oak pews.

Saddened, but not unsurprised by this number, I wondered aloud why they needed that much.

My mom explained that "A house of God should have nice things out of respect for Him."

"I guess," I said, "but I think feeding a few of His less-fortunate creatures would have sat well with The Big Man, too."
