♦ Orderliness: not a moral virtue in itself, but lack of it may cost your soul
♦ Why a sense of humor is so important -even to your spiritual health
♦ The strange conttradiction in blaming God for the evil in the world
♦ Belief in "progress": in our day it can be a form of idolatry
♦ The tyranny of justice movements turn unjust (knowing this is the key to our future as society)
