HiLo Podcast

Patrick and Andrew reflect on their weeks of ups and downs. As they cover their Hi's and Lo's, they dig deeper into: Why do we experience mental roadblocks? Are we representing Jesus well? Where do we go from here?

This past weekend, we laid my grandma and Pat's mom, Grace McGinnis, to rest. The family gathered in the back of the church, prior to the start of mass, and began to sing a song, a song that is more than a song to our family. "There's a storm across the valleyClouds are rolling inThe afternoon is heavy on your shoulders"The lyrics rang out as heads began to turn. Back Home Again by John Denver was sung for the second time in St. Joseph's Church, in just over 5 years. It's a special feeling to have a song mean so much to so many people, and to know that connection is because of the love of two people. Grace and Darrell McGinnis.My grandparents opened their home to anyone in need, and to many of us who weren't in need of anything but some grandparent time.My Grandma lost a part of herself when my Grandpa passed, and to know they are "Back Home Again", together, brings me peace.My Grandma loved.

Episode 7 is full of weird discussion, centered around music and the ups and downs of Oktoberfest. Why do songs get stuck in your head? What have our classmates been up to? Why does it feel like we can't trust each other? Sometimes we need answers, and other times the dialogue outweighs the outcome. Our hope is that you would see and use this as the beginning of that dialogue.
