Aside from the fact that Gus got Fran a job working under a Mr. It’s interesting that Manny and Bernard’s impossible task dovetails quite nicely with Fran’s plot. It’s only made worse when it becomes clear that Danny’s not only a violent pyschopath, completely illiterate, but also demands results. With his large frame and deadly serious cockney accent, Manny and Bernard are already sweating bullets. This time around, we have Bernard and Manny offering an in-store book reading by gangster turned “author” Danny Spudge (Ricky Grover). One of the better set-ups for plots in the show is to pair off Manny and Bernard and give Fran her own storyline. Make no mistake, I enjoyed this episode, maybe not as much as others, but it certainly has strong jokes. I suppose it doesn’t really matter as long the episode’s fun. Here, I kind of wonder whose fault all of this is to begin with? Is it Bernard’s for giving Manny so much shit that he decides to stay in and take Gus’ call? Is it Manny’s for taking the call and doing a favor for his friend, the gangster? Or should we blame Fran’s lack of wherewithal in her job search? In order to get a plot going in an episode, one character introduces something or someone or does something that inevitably hurtles the plot forward into a manic frenzy. I kind of love how hard it is tell exactly who really gets the ball rolling in this episode. In which Fran fakes it ’till she makes it, while Manny and Bernard attempt to teach a dangerous mind.

In the end, it is their grandchildren who become the ones to complete the project and enjoy the beauty of the finished cathedral, and they consider it more than worth the wait. Their ultimate reward is not in immediately profiting from this project but in their legacy, laying the foundations (literally) for the future. The book carefully notes that the people of this town understand that they will never see the final product of their contribution of money and labor because the project will take decades to complete, but they still begin the undertaking because they believe that it is the right thing to do for their community, for future generations, and for God. Signed first printing of the story of the construction of a book about the construction of a building a delightfully self-referential look back on David. The ability to delay gratification in the pursuit of larger goals is an important life skill, but the people who began the cathedral project showed this ability to an even higher degree than most. In David Macaulays book, Built to Last, he says the mindset behind building cathedrals was that of honor and dedication. I think that the time invested in the cathedral construction is one of the key points of the story. I recommended this book to people after the burning of Notre Dame in Paris last year because this cathedral is similar to Notre Dame and can give people an idea of what went into its construction. I posted an important article last week detailing how King Charles III is the leader of the global Sustainable Development movement being implemented through United Nations Agenda 2030 with help from the World Economic Forum.

She is touching the runes that the fateful Maidens have inscribed on the Tree. The third figure standing next to the tree is Skuld, shown as a maiden holding a staff topped by a raven. She is modeled after numerous Frankish depictions of Mother Earth that survived in the margins of Christian texts. In the center, under the Tree, sits Verthandi, nourishing a serpent at her breast. Here the eldest Norn, Ur∂r, is shown as a Spinner of Fate, sitting beside the Ur∂rbrunnr, the primal Well of Being that is named after her. From this great ash tree fall vitalizing dews that moisten the soil underneath and nurture swarms of bees. In the painting, the sacred Well of Life flows out of the Earth beneath a Mystery Tree, whose roots reach into the underworld, its branches into the heavens. These primordial Three Maidens lay down the laws of Nature and shape the destiny of all beings, carving runes into the Tree. They mark on the wood, they ordain laws, they allot lives for human children, speaking their fates.” It is sung by a seeress, who tells of the all-knowing Fates who dwell under a great Tree beside an ever-living Well: “Urd is one called, Ver∂andi the next, and Skuld, the third.
