State Auditor Mike Foley has issued audit letters to eight local government units in the past six weeks highlighting alleged financial malpractice. The offenses include a Nemaha County commissioner using a county gas pump to fill his personal vehicle, a Custer County employee who recorded work hours while at her children's school events and Pleasanton village employees who used their 11% rebates from village expenses at Menards for personal purchases. Foley says he didn't remember there being so many cases during his previous term as auditor between 2007 and 2015.

When we have done what we can, let God take it from there.

OCIA Director Matt Gray, reflects on the readings for the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord.

In our darkness, weeping, and mourning, let the Lord be our light

Christ continues to work with us even in our struggles

If you allow yourself, God will take you deeper into the depth of who He is

We are here not to get God to do something for us but because of what He has already done for us.

Why does reading the Bible feel so difficult? John Mark invites us to rediscover Scripture as a place of encounter with Jesus, not just a source of information. He challenges us to engage with Scripture not just a book we read, but as a practice to form us.Key Scripture Passage: Matthew 5v17-19This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.

God wishes to help us and serve us and draw us to holiness.

OCIA Director Matt Gray, reflects on the readings for the Sixth Sunday of Easter.

Even though it may be difficult at times, we are called to always love one another.

How do you love God? By following His commandments joyfully and obediently.

The more you remain in Christ, the more you are able to do.

Let us join our sufferings with the suffering of our Lord.

We find God in all things.

We ask for the grace to better see as God sees so we can love as Jesus loved.

OCIA Director Matt Gray, reflects on the readings for the Fifth Sunday of Easter.

Jesus continues to reveal His love, mercy, and compassion

Abhay is joined by comedian Amit Tandon for a broad conversation sharing insights into his journey in comedy, discussing the importance of relatability, the art of writing jokes, and the challenges of maintaining relevance in a rapidly changing industry. He reflects on the evolution of his craft, the significance of audience observation, and the balance between content creation and innovation. Amit also talks about the guardrails he sets for himself in comedy, the anatomy of a good performance, and the importance of continuous improvement in his work. Try and catch his show Halwa  which he he showcasing currently on tour across the globe.(0:00- 2:33) Introduction(2:33) Part 1 - keywords, being relatable, being a better listener/observer(12:30) Part 2 - storytelling and timelines, pushing boundaries, anatomy of a good show(30:55) Part 3 - delivering intelligent comedy consistently, life before and after stand-up comedy, satisfaction vs ambition(42:56) ConclusionIntro:So if I were on stage delivering stand up comedy, I'd likely be petrified both as a performer and also in trying to create material that someone other than me would find funny.  But as an audience member, maybe the best characteristic that I seek out in a comic artist would be honesty, manifesting in such a way that it builds connection through laughter and shared experiences. Now recently, I was able to catch up with comedian Amit Tandon, who is currently touring across the world with his latest show called Halwa.  Amit is a veteran performer who is known for his clean, relatable, and honest content - which allows him to constantly evolve and hone his well-crafted art.  He went from life as a successful  engineer and entrepreneur, to being the first to have a Hindi solo stand up show on Netflix appropriately called “Family Tandoncies”. Amit's writing and observational style of humor have drawn audience and critic praise alike, especially with relating personal experiences of marriage, family relationships, and the sometimes awkward and surprising truths that govern our own internal reflections. His style is definitely friendly, intelligent, sharp, and in a way bonding- and not just because of the relatability factor with Amit, but also the compelling and connected joy that you're left to seamlessly realize with the people in your own orbit. So when we caught up, we chatted about the nuances of his comedy and storytelling craft, balancing guardrails and pushing boundaries, AI (of course), and even straddling ambition and satisfaction as an artist.  But of course, as I was searching through some of his work, the recurring popups on YouTube were showing online orders for chaat and food snacks, and real estate in Pleasanton, which is heavily populated with Indian families here in the Bay Area - a clear sign I guess that the algorithmic key words and cookies are working well. So… I asked him to reflect a bit on what he thinks those Amit Tandon key words… might be?

Take account of all that God has done in our lives and all the gifts He has given to us.

When we offer our gifts, life changes and God shows up.
