Some help, please

Some weeks ago I volunteered to help manage and train the altar servers at my parish. I’ve noticed that the vast majority of them have no clue what is going on during Mass; they don’t say the proper responses or sing things like the Alleluia, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. Does anyone know of a simple booklet out there to teach kids what the Mass is all about? I’m looking for something small and inexpensive. Give Mr. Sal some help now and we might get more vocations out of this parish!

Ouch.

It’s a bee-sting and a paper cut with a dash of salt.
It was a symptom of Bill Clinton’s tackiness that he inverted the old axiom that “everyone lies about sex.” It’s true, gentlemen did lie about sex to protect the honor of women. Bill Clinton lied about the honor of women he had sex with to protect himself.

Loch Ness Monster sighting

As some of you know, I’m currently in an MBA program at UMUC. I’ve learned alot so far and that’s helped my company and my customers.
There is one overarching issue in the program related to teamwork. We have a huge amount of social loafing in the teams. The overacheivers want to do a good job and work hard, while some of the folks are content to act busy, deliver something that is inaccurate or rudimentary, and then be first in line for the high-fives when the team gets an A.
One team member is now being called the “Loch Ness Monster.” He pokes his head above water on rare ocassions to act like he’s engaged, then dives to the bottom of the Loch until the project is turned in.
I’m sure other folks have Loch Ness Monster sightings at work or school. Or maybe more colorful nicknames…
