Wise Words on Wednesday: What a vote means
A vote is not professing your love for a candidate. It’s a chess move for the America you want to live in.

“Theology On Tap” continues apace. Last week we heard from Fr. Matt Spahr, the pastor at the Immaculata parish, speaking about discernment. This week we heard from Cy Kellett:
Aug 7: “What is your purpose? What is your call?”
Learning to listen to God’s voice and follow it. -Fr. Matt Spahr
Aug 14: “Citizens and Disciples”
Voting your conscience! What does that look like?- Cy Kellett
Aug 21: “How to live the single life AND meet Mr/Mrs Right”
Living the single life according to God’s will.- Karen Saroki
Aug 28th: “Love, dating and relationships”
Calling all people wanting to love and be loved according to God’s holy desire.” – Jackie Francois
Here’s Cy’s biography:
Cyril Jones-Kellett is the Community Relations Officer for AM 1000 KCEO, San Diego – an Immaculate Heart Radio Station.
He served for a decade as editor-in-chief of San Diego’s Southern Cross. Before his writing career, he spent years working on the streets of Boston with the homeless mentally ill. Part of that time was spent living in an urban Catholic Worker house dedicated to serving homeless men. He also spent four years supervising a home for severely traumatized children.
For fun he likes to spend time with his three teens tying to impress them with his knowledge of pop culture.
Aside from the digs at my homeland, it was a great talk. Here’s the audio:
