0:00.0	You're listening to the Taylor Marshall Show, episode 18, and man oh man do I have a story for you.
0:08.0	Yesterday we just drove back to Texas from Colorado in the van with our seven kids. All seven had a stomach bug. It was a
0:16.2	disgusting, disgusting time. And when we got home we realized we were locked out of our
0:22.1	house. So it was one of those moments when I
0:25.7	wanted to turn to bitterness. I wanted to look to heaven, shake my fist and say,
0:31.3	God, why me?
0:34.1	So today we're going to talk about spiritual bitterness

1:32.4	And my goal this week is to talk about a remedy for bitterness,

1:47.0	One, there's a very high expectation for us.
1:51.0	We have a moral code that we must live by. We have the sacrament of confession.
1:56.4	We have teachings that are difficult to keep for many of us. For example, the
2:00.6	teaching, the church is teaching on contraception having a large family
2:04.9	all kinds of things that can really stress us out and get us discouraged and
2:11.0	discouragement leads to bitterness. I think the second reason
2:15.8	that we Catholics are prone to being discouraged or embittered is that we have a
2:22.2	doctrine of
2:23.6	redemptive suffering. But wait with me, hold on.
