More summary updates from the last few days: In Winona, Minnesota I interviewed Paul and Sarah Freid who are live-in volunteers at a Catholic Worker house for the homeless there. Paul, who was a theology major in college, said the gospel message is pretty easy to figure out — “if you’re willing to suffer.” In Lake City, Minnesota (“birthplace of water skiing”), we passed out flyers in front of the Rythm & Brew Coffee Shop where the “hours of caffeination” are 8 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

I said: “sometimes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
