I told you so!

My co-workers have sometimes chuckled at my keeping the newsprint from old classes and meetings and whatnot. "You'll never use them!" they laughed.

Well, I sure showed them!

I just spent an hour using my visual aids for a class on sin and reconciliation. (The class session uses racism as a test case through which we can understand what sin is and how God is effecting reconciliation, and I'm quite proud of it -- it's part of the 'Commit' course in the three-part adult formation curriculum I developed with John de Beer called Klesis: Call to Full Humanity. And by the way, we're releasing the curriculum as an open-source project, so it's absolutely free for parishes and student groups and such to use -- you can get more info and download stuff here.) I recorded what was on the newsprint, of course, and then I used it as packing paper for my books.

It felt kind of funny stuffing 'SIN' in big letters around books on St. Paul.
