Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist Brian O’Neill nails the zeitgeist of our age in this piece, inspired by a “brilliant” story he read in The Atlantic. In it, “workism” is described as the identity cultural cornerstone and has become “among the most potent of the new religions competing for congregants.”

Great video! See if you can guess the locations where it was filmed. It's revealed in the credits at the end. Thank You Bill Mehaffey for the posting!
Kevin and Mary Bode sold their home and used the proceeds to make a difference where they live. New Kensington is home to some of the poorest neighborhoods in Pennsylvania.
"9Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, 10and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. 11The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." (Isaiah 58:9-11)
