Episode Synopsis

I wrote a poem the other day That was full of worldly wisdom.It was advice for how to prosperIn this world so wily and unpredictable.But after I did, I felt discouraged and tired.I put the poem away and broke with my own advice.I decided that perhaps better adviceWould be to follow JesusOut of the worldAnd into the road of sacrifice That leads to renunciation.And I know that many of you,Perhaps the very ones That I want to reachWill turn away upon hearing thatBecause you think I mean to get the old religion.But that’s not the case at all.
