We're sick in our house, so we're pulling a veeeeeery early episode out of the vault to share with you - it's a flash back in time to when the entire world was only just learning the word "coronavirus" - and we had noooooooo idea what was about to happen to the world, including our church. We also talk about Charisms a bit, and go through a long list of them (and hopefully you'll recognize one or two that apply to you). It's a longer episode, becuase we're still pretty raw in our abilities. At least this episode will make all the others look better by comparison.

The outtro to this episode is in response to a call for a rap about the "St. Linus, Cletus, etc." issued by Catholic Stuff You Should Know podcast, on their episode "Basil and Malachi EPs." Kit wrote the rap in an hour and a half after parking the minivan, and rapped it in two takes (she cut out extra long breathing pauses between stanzas, which throws off the rhythm a little :) ). Enjoy her first rap as a white suburban mini-driving mother of four...
