The Flying Eagle Patrol
When Brian Doyle was 13, he spent a “life term” — all right, 14 days — at a Boy Scout summer camp. Young Brian quickly established himself as the worst camper there.

19 Sunday A - Storms and Faith
In the first reading we meet Elijah the prophet hiding in a cave as he tries to distance himself from Queen Jezabel who is out to get him because he has humiliated and killed her prophets. Now on the run for his life, he is directed to Mount Horeb where he takes refuge in a cave. He wants to meet God and wishes this God to act powerfully against his enemies. There he discovers that his tactics are not God’s tactics. God’s approach is a non-violent one, symbolized by the mighty wind and earthquake in which he does not find God. Rather it is a gentle one, symbolized by the gentle breeze. Our God is so different from what we expect!
