The first paragraph was informative, if somewhat dry, though I liked the final sentence - usually when you present a question like that I settle in for a fun ride. I did enjoy the second paragraph, quite a bit - you started building energy and I sensed the pace changing. The third paragraph, though, returned to the staid, informative tone of the first. Which you maintained into the fourth paragraph, but about midway through ("Believing in this . . .") you found your energy again, which you maintained pretty well through to the end. <br /><br />It wasn't a bad homily, I just found it to be somewhat incomplete - there were many good parts (about half the homily), which parts I bet preached really well, and as a whole I appreciated where you went with it, but stylistically it was, for me, a little jarring.
