This is it.

Nice room.

Very clean.

You can put that anywhere.

Oh. Yeah.

I have another full box for you.

Oh, thank you.

It's really nice. Thanks.

Oh, you're welcome.

You're welcome.

They-- These are clean,

they're not ripped, but they-- they

might be a little out of style.

What, are there bell-bottoms in here?

[ Laughs ]

No, those I kept for me.

Are you making coffee?

- Yeah, you want a cup?

- You know what? We don't have time.

We're gonna be late.

You oughta shut that off, grab a sweater, and we gotta go.

Okay.

Now they're trying to figure out

what to do with these trees--

whether to leave them there and tunnel through them...

or to rearrange the trail.

Although we are not trees,

in our Gospel lesson we find the story of a man...

who couldn't tell the difference between the two--

between people and trees.

To heal this man, Jesus spit on the man's eyes...

and laid his hands on him.

But the man opened his eyes and could see men,

but they were blurry and looked like trees walking around.

And then Jesus repeated the

process, and the man could see.

The striking detail in the story is that the

blind man's vision was only partially restored.

How many people among us still see persons as things?

We do not see them as children of God.

We do not consider them as persons of infinite worth.

[ Congregation ]

So that we may love you with our whole being...

and love our neighbors as ourselves...

through Jesus Christ, our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you in

the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and forever.

Amen.

Hey, pumpkin.

How you doing?

Not much. Watching TV.

What are you doing?

I'm at the art gallery.

You are? That's nice.

Who are you with?

Nobody.

You went to the museum by yourself?

- Yeah.

- Hey, you're not talking in the gallery, are you?

Uh, no. I am outside.

Okay. Well,

I don't want to keep you.

Well, no, no, no, no.

No, talk to me.

What's-- Is everything okay?

Yeah. I'm just checking in.

Good.

I am still alive.

Okay, good.

Have you met any nice women up there?

What do you mean? What do you mean what do I mean?

Women. To date.

To take to the museum.

[ Chuckles ]

I'm too old to date,

April.

No, you're not.

Hey, you should try signing up for an online service.

Yeah, no, I'm too busy for that.

Okay, well, what if I signed you up?
