0:27.8 | Hello, sprouts. Today is July 12th, and it is Wednesday of the 14th week in ordinary time. My name is Chris Carstens, and I'm glad to be your guest host for the week. |
0:33.0 | I work in the worship office for the Diocese of La Crosse in the State of Wisconsin, |
0:38.3 | and I'm also the editor of a prayer publication called the Otteramus Bulletin. |

2:15.7 | But if you really wanted to convey and |
