A few lines out of it’s prologue really  struck me.  The main character Alan Christoffersen  a widower says:
It’s better to be loved by one person who knows your soul than millions who don’t even know your phone number.  I have loved and have been loved as deeply as a man can hope for, ...]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>(This is a special project and currently my personal experiment to help Catholics and those of others denominations who follow the Catholic lectionary prepare for Sunday services.  It's currently an experiment and I need your feedback, comments and questions.  Please read on and listen to the recording to help make this project a success.)

A spiritual practice I have found helpful is reading the Sunday readings before I show up at church.  It helps me make Sunday more than just showing up and leaving an hour or so a week.  It makes it a part of my week culimating when I do go to church.  In case I get distracted, I'm already up on it.  It's something I know.

In order to do this prep, I've looked around for podcasts I could download to my IPOD and listen during my daily comute.  However, I haven't been able to find something that covers the Sunday church reading just the way I thought they should be covered.  (I'd love to hear of any you have found you do like.) 

My idea of  a good one is one that is substantial and relevant to working and non-working professionals.  I wanted it to be practical and not highly intellectual or theological going over the heads of the average Joe (or Jane) in the pew.  My main focus is for it to help me prepare and reflect.

This is pilot or test recording.  I'm saying that upfront.  I haven't fancied it up with any before and after music.  I haven't made this available on iTunes or the other podcast directories.  What I have done is get together with my good friend Mickey Itchon, two microphones and my recording equipment.  We grabbed the readings for Sunday July 27th off the US Conference of Catholic Bishops website. (Click here for the readings we used.  It's the 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time.)  Then I uploaded it to my blog.

We followed this format. 

	We read the first reading out loud.  
	Mickey sings the responsorial psalm. 
	We read the second reading and gospel. 
	We do a 15-20 minute back and forth/banter on the scriptures. 

As I said earlier, I would really like feedback.  I need to hear from as many people as possible:

	Do you like our style, approach, format?
	Did it work on your equipment?  Any tips you can give us to help others get access to this?
	Would this help you prepare for your Sunday worship experience?
	Is the sound quality decent on our PC, IPOD, mp3 player, etc?
	Did you like us singing the responsorial psalm?
	Would you have prefered a video podcast instead?
	What additions would you make that would make this more valuable to you?
	Is this something you would download weekly to your IPOD/MP3 player and use weekly?  Why? Why not?

I appreciate your comments using the feature below.  I'm hoping to use your input to make this better before I make too many decisions on how I'll proceed with this project.

You can listen to it hear in the player







To download it to your machine so you can play in on your IPOD or MP3 player, right click on the "Download" link above and click "Save Target As..."  Let me know how this works on your machine so I can provide better instructions.</itunes:summary>

Dean Karnazes writes about his 100+ mile ultra marathon running feats, but he does so much more.  Karnazes had reached the point in his life where his life had no meaning and purpose.  He had a void in his life and his six figure salary couldn&#8217;t fill it.  He explains how he turned to running, something he had love ...]]></description>

Do NOT Go at It Alone.  Get the Help You Need
In the book &#8220;What Color Is Your Parachute?  2010: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers&#8221; Richard Nelson Bolles says that a huge percentage of job hunters quit after two months.  They just check out and stop looking.   Take a look at Parachute chapter 1 for the details and statistics.

		<description><![CDATA[As we look for work, wait for that anticipated raise (in this economy…right!) or hope for the right opportunity to arrive, we are forced to be patient. We set some expectations for ourselves and sometimes even attach a timeline to it. If we opt NOT to be patient, we set ourselves up for failure. We tee ourselves up for the perfect dose of disappointment. And from there to anger and resentment is a very short hop.


I spent some time thinking about this and wondered, “What is it about waiting or ...]]></description>

He told me he had heard me speak on a panel a few months back.  I remembered that presentation well.  It was held at a South Beach Miami hotel.  The venue was nice and included two other panelists.  It was well moderated.  The problem (for me anyway) was ...]]></description>

Those of you who follow Career Jockey may remember that in early December I published Five Steps for Beating the Christmas Bah Humbug Blues.   In step #1 of the article, I committed myself to 20 minutes of daily reflection.  You may also remember I was hoping for an Amazon Kindle reading device for Christmas.  (See Christmas Gift Ideas to Wow Your Job Seeker.)

I just ran into &#8220;Get the Right Balance&#8220;, a blog post written at a simple blog site&#8221;Welcome to the Occupation&#8221; written by Paul Smith.  Paul identifies himself as &#8220;an HR manager at a non-profit organization in the Northeast.&#8221;   A simple guy promoting a simple way of life per this article.


Paul&#8217;s article chronicles a documentary he saw on Arthur Kane, the bass player for New York Dolls.  Back in the &#8217;70s, the New York Dolls were a thing, but by 2004 things were much different.  The ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently wrote my Devil Wears Prada article discussing the potential outcomes of the choices we make.  Few of us go out and make an intentional life or career blundering decisions.  I, however, have made a string of smaller decisions, or better yet, no decisions at all that over time got me someplace all together wrong.


I&#8217;ve done it with Christmas, too.  I let Thanksgiving go by without giving much thought to what comes next.  The time slips by and before you know it, I shorted myself. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before seeing the Time Travelers Wife at the theater, I got me a copy of the book.  I wanted to read it before seeing the movie.  It was just for fun reading, but this one scene left me with a revelation I just had to share on Career Jockey.
For the scene to make sense, I have to explain the main character’s predicament.  (I promise not to ruin it for you.)  Henri’s a time traveler &#8211; no technology needed.   He gets plucked out of the ...]]></description>

I don&#8217;t know the author so I cannot give them credit.  If they want to claim it, I&#8217;ll give them the credit they deserve.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Funeral&#8221; is a new TV commercial available off youTube launched by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS).  It looks at marriage in a different light.  An middle aged woman shares some humorous stories during her eulogy at her husband&#8217;s funeral.  She is celebrating how beautiful imperfections are what make a relationship perfect.


It&#8217;s not the huge events that make a relationship special as much as the mundain that we often miss or forget to appreciate.  I found that during tough job search, I was ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

When I was out of work, clutter camped out in my head.  I worried about how I would pay my bills.  I fretted over what I could have done to avoid the lay off.  I rehearsed the worse case scenarios (that would likely never happen) repeatedly over and over again.  This unhealthy, obsessive mental regurgitation drove me crazy.  Worse yet, it added confusion when what I needed was clarity so I could be at my best for my job search.
