Homily for Friday, Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time
Jer 26:1-9 Mt 13:54-58 The people of Jesus’ home town recognized the wisdom with which Jesus spoke and the life-giving powers that were at work through his actions. Both were clearly evident to all. They go on to ask a probing question, ‘Where did this man get it all?’ As people who have come to believe in Jesus we would have no hesitation in answering that question, ‘Jesus got his wisdom and his life-giving powers from God’. ‘It is God who is at work through what Jesus says and does’.

I am afraid they are going to see all the board papers and details, which will be catastrophic,” he said. Any victim of cybercrime needs their service restored as soon as…

Does your board: Approve the choice of vendors, office equipment, software, or office furniture Participate in staff hiring and defining job descriptions (besides the chief executive’s) Get involved in approving individual staff salaries? If yes, they are going overboard. Check receipts and invoices, and participate in the procurement processes Contact staff members directly for information — without explicitly being invited by the chief executive. Such is a bad thing. It not only undermines the chief executive, but it is also plainly kick-ass terrible…
