This isn’t related to today’s show, but I just saw it and had to tell you about it. I’m not much of a Trek fan myself, but I admit that’s a cool looking house!

On the Star Trek apartment . . . words fail me. Is he nuts? Perhaps. But at least he’s not carried along by the current of the times!
A priest friend once explained purgatory to me this way: it’s like Carl’s “gift” after caddying for the Dali Lama in the movie “Caddyshack.” On Carl’s deathbed he will receive total consciousness, and so will we. After death we will become acutely, painfully aware of the effects of our sins that we never knew about while we were alive. We’ll learn about all the times our intentional acts made things worse. Only then will we be able to be sorry for what we did, get rid of the sin, and be full of love like God so we can join Him in Heaven.
Correct me if I’m off base!
