it is good to be here I want to thank you I'm coming out such a handsome crowd y'all bundle the big jackets this is literally the heaviest thing I own I am from Texas I was next time in my wife right before hand and I said what's the temperature like she's in the minivan and she's rolling down the windows and it's like what's the difference snow this morning so it's gross choose to live here but God love you you live here their sponsor just kidding but it was Lakeville Brewing last night and Harry's for lunch I mean I'm excited I'm excited so far so my name is Michael Gorman he said I come from a parish of about 6800 families about 22,000 people big old big old Parish grown big down in Texas it's not the biggest one that archdiocese just north of Houston lot of energy sector people oil and gas industry is huge in that yes that's so a lot of our a lot of my work principally of revolves around working with people who are culturally playcore comfortably Catholic but want to go deeper in their faith and they have no clue how right so that's the people I run into the most I'm a lay person I'm not a deacon I'm not a priest God save us all for kids my kids are insane the oldest six we just decided never to sleep again I think that was with my wife wives plan was but one of the interesting things about being a deacon or a priest is it took when I entered into the position of adult Faith formation it took them 2 or 3 two years to warm up to me as like someone to talk to right like to share their problems with his like he's a guy he's like me he's like your neighbor. The funny thing is once I kind of certain sharing a little bit more about my life and my past and all the sudden I start getting Knox in the door now used to be in Youth Ministry for tending it's before this hence my jovial lifestyle and I'm sitting at my desk and I'll never forget the first guy that walks in and I have and he's coming for Council it sits down and he's like listen really inspired by your talk and I like helping my wife wants to get a divorce I like okay how's likewise at and he says well I'm addicted to pornography on so okay okay YouTube Ministry of had to deal with this a lot I can I can handle this and it goes and then I Lannon  hired a bunch of prostitutes over the past six months and my wife found out and my marriage is all over and oh my God me starts crying and I had this moment where I looked over my shoulder in my office I looked over my shoulder and I was looking for an adult I had this thing because is Minister you can tell their parents you can tell the pastor you can commit call you can call the police or something you have adults that you can tell that then it's no longer yours do you all talk with you but someone else is taking altimate responsibility I remember being like this to me like I'm not going to be like is it a retirement on the Mexico City doesn't matter give me the phone right I realize this thing if your marriage is going just stopped in the priests office I just said hey it's going really well that's all because it's all this awful stuff so there's nothing to do with the mission just a public service announcement  Like We Said Today is focusing on what we call the extraordinary Mary call me amazing thing is when you look at sacred scripture that's what we're going to do today how many about your Bible Catholic Church at one time I use that joke all the time I said I want all these people raise her hands and cuz they had it on there iPhone you know what he going to do that's the most important Bibles the one you have with you so when we look at the notion of the extraordinary call and we see how Christ calls people individually you will know one thing over everything he calls them the ordinary circumstances of their daily lives in the midst of the ordinary Christ breaks in Grace breaks in and one of the problems that I've discovered in the Catholic church today is many Catholics have that still that same old clericalism is been around for five hundred plus a Year's which I don't need to know because I know the one who knows namely the priest Supreme strong to be  next job to follow Jesus and read scripture it's my job to pray play in the open and that's basically up Jesus Christ is a radically altering that whole landscape between priest and people yes please have a unique Mission within the church  what so do we have lame people and often I forgot encounter the fact that play Lady people are willing to let the priests be the holy ones cuz they think it gets them off the hook but but that's when we settle for a mediocre half did Christianity Christianity mind doesn't save I don't want a Christianity that is right when I am right gkhs into said I want to Christianity that is when I am wrong right that's the whole deal I don't know why I said right there at the correct I want to Chrissy and I want to believe in a God not of my own making because guess what like me I want a God who challenges me to grow let me put that another way I don't want that God but I know I need that God and in the midst of the ordinary with Christ breaks in the most ordinary thing of all in terms of human history were God I think really shook me was the birth of my first job I know if you've had a when you held your first kid for the first time and how it like shift into your cord all the sudden you're like what's going on with the school board's like the world just got a lot whiter As It Gets a very focused right you start worrying about this little precious ones future for me I waste what was called to be a priest my mom that I was call the boys my parents are Uber Catholics and so they I was the one I was tapped to be the one that was going to be a priest Lord knows it wouldn't be the middle boy they probably pray that it would be the Elder responsible one but they get the fun-loving baby of the family who makes it all about him and so my mom for years to be like you're going to be a priest one day my mom said I have priests hands priest hands how your please tan Cinema hey so I'm going to name-drop here my good friend Father Michael Schmitz I was talking to him one time and I said fight of Mike my mom said I have priests hands and he's like I have never heard that he gets all angry right and even means I've never done an honest day's work in my life he got so angry I don't know why he said we just work that one day a week too  what team leader you know that right  if it is so funny how we create this Aura around priests there the holy ones there the separator ones or the which ones  but I think we do that in a sense because it lets us off the hook  I let us off at dims the responsibility that we have because we like we're not really called to the big things but Jesus Christ is calling you to share eternity with him in heaven so come follow me what's the that's there that's the extraordinary thing you cannot earn Heaven I cannot earn Heaven it is pure gift play the birth of my first born child like I said I thought it was called to be a priest it was very difficult for me ask my wife to get married we dated for about 7 years I broke out there like maybe 7 or 8 times but that's not okay  yes it was but the deal is that when she finally gave in and and married me I'm there with alter and it was one of the most beautiful moments in my life it was awesome but nothing could prepare myself for the upheaval  of my first one kid because as little as I reflected on getting married I had no cognitive function when it came to being a father of a human being and my daughter was 10 days late she almost died in pregnancy they rushed her turn emergency C-section  have you ever been apart of a C-section some of the craziest things because they had this you walk in your just done looking like a goofball pudding booties are on at least things and you walk in and they have this sheet draped over so the husband can't see  the the surgery going on cuz will lose it right and I would have lost it and I put the other thing is my wife's arms are out cruciform as they're giving her the anesthesia and all this stuff it's not like they're not doing anything back there their elbows are hitting the sweetness this violent thing and all I have is her head and her head is right here the sheets go right up to her neck tell Mike it's going to be okay I can't even feed her ice chips either it's going to be okay what I should like you have to leave that behind and then I fear that first cry that that gasp of air in that cry and my wife she makes this soil it's a girl and then they go and they show me the daughter and they let me hold my daughter for the first time before they go get all the goo off of right and I'm looking at her and I just remember saying like Everything's changed  everything is change like it's a totally different thing now I have you I'm responsible for can't go Club in any like I used to  so exactly true I find the time but you're holding this kid and everything changes and this is that that extraordinary will you know this whole life now belongs to you and yet and yet our blessed Lord is calling us to something unique okay this is the problem that I have when I started following Christ stop very committed to my face I began looking around and I love evangelizing I love apologetics I love talking about my faith and all the stuff I also love talking about other stuff but that's usually a bridge people are okay with not following Jesus with just believing in him and I truly believe in the am I being the Jesus Christ is sick and tired of Believers he has enough Believers what Christ wants today  Christ once followers the end of The Sermon on the Mount Matthew chapter 7 he says blessed is the one who hears these words of mine and does them but woe to the one who hears these words of mine and does not do them we had so often we can Pat ourselves on the back for hearing and not doing because at least we heard and what crisis and fall and is inviting you into his something deep something more than just believing in him he wants you  fall in love with him and to be loved by him now come call me is the call come follow me right that's the call now whenever I don't know if you get this problem where you read like the story of a saint and it's so holy  you I can't even imagine following it later like she had to visit some teasy since we was for this great I think I saw a Mother Teresa's face and a pan make one time right so you try to make these wearing various robes he saw two brothers Simon was called Peter and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea for they were fishermen set an Apollo me and I will make you Fishers of Men and immediately they left their Nets and followed him  what I first heard that story I feel so guilty that I was only halfway following Jesus thought you're able body of Youth and of course I can't find it there by the way it's in the Greek an Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea for they were fishermen okay and Jesus said follow me and I will make you and you will become Fishers of Men and immediately they left their that's some followed up  can you imagine I mean today walking to a guy from like what the Deadliest Catch or whatever I just mean like I'm going to make you man enough with the crabs right and be like what does that even mean right I will make you Fishers of Men okay I'm going to leave my entire life now I always I always struggle with this in you realize that they were just giving you the summary version it comes to Luke Chapter 5 and if you're taking notes which the people who prepare the book have a wonderful spot for you to take notes in case just in case there will be a quiz you take your car keys not let you leave until you get a hundred  well the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God so algenist Jesus is there he's on the shore of Galilee In this passage of called ganassi right which is another name the crowds Jesus already has a reputation that is spreading throughout the North play area called Galilee of the Gentiles there's a large Jewish population up there but also a lot of Gentile populations and Gentile cities and they are Jesus is walking along and he's preaching to hundreds if not thousands in the crowds are so great they're pressing in upon him while standing by the lake of knesset same thing asea Gali boats by the lake but the fishermen had gone out of them and we're washing their Nets  getting into one of the boats which was Simon's he listen to put out from the land now you see there's a little bit more to the story he didn't just walk by hey stop fishing for fish fish for men okay right he didn't just do that when he did what she preached his reputation had already preceded him that's why so many people had gathered their there was so many people that they were pushing in on him so he said okay I get into a boat push out a little bit from the water let them curve around the water let the water amplify my voice so that everyone can hear are there fishing right that the fishermen are washing their Nets why do they watch internets because they already went fishing getting into one of the boats which was Simon he asked him to put out a little from the land they sat down and taught the people in the boat and that's key ancient rabbis when they sat that was the position of teaching Authority he sits down teachers from the boat and what is speaking he said to Simon now you got  turn the boat with Jesus alone as he we're listening to Jesus preach and teach for maybe several hours and the key thing you need to understand about when Jesus preached unlike me as his two people were but when he finished people literally said we are astonished at you for you to not teach like our scribes and Pharisees like Michael Gormley teachers one having Authority right that's how they view Jesus  shock them amazom Inspire them the whole deal that's what jeans play the news teaching I'm here with the perfect spot the front row Joe able to listen and receive everything that Jesus says how many at Sea speaking said to Simon put out into the deep and let your nuts down for a couch  and Simon answered Master we toiled all night and took nothing but at your should I will let down the Nets you can imagine the scenario right  maybe if you're like an engineer or something Jesus walking up let me show you how to build a bridge right okay buddy whatever straighten up here has a profound respect for the rabbits every Jewish boy in that time had a profound respect for rabbis so yes can use my boat when the wants to go into his trade that's where things get interesting now why did he say we have fished all night because Sea of Galilee in the lake of knesset same thing the Sun beats down on the water all day long as very hot climate right the top surface of the water heats up little bit of few degrees which is enough to send the fish lower and lower so you fish at night when the fish come to the surface and you wash your nets and clean up your catch and sell them in the more in the morning that's why when Jesus encountered them they're already done for the day they're washing The Mending their Nets Master we toiled all night and took nothing but at your word will let down the Nets and when they had done this then close the great shoulder fish and as their Nets were breaking they beckon to their Partners in the other what's a come and help them and they came and filled both the votes so that they began to sink  but when Simon Peter said he fell down Jesus is Nina saying depart from me for I am a sinful Man O Lord  do you realize something that these expert fisherman still heard the word of God preached he heard of this reputation of this new wandering Rabbi saying amazing things you got to experience it and then he got to witness this insane Miracle yeah we're going to go fishing we fish all night the fish aren't here broke a rabbi yes Father I don't know if you've ever had anyone say that to you yes Father part for me for I am a sinful Man O Lord for he was and all that were with him of the catch a fish with they have taken which they had taken and someone James and John tons of debit Zebedee who are partners with Simon Jesus said to Simon do not be afraid henceforth you will be catching men when they brought their boats the land they left everything and followed see when we get the abbreviated account sometimes that's ain't built can creep in while I'm not as holy as this I'm not as great as this immediately they left but now we see the broader story as it unfolds within the human drama of a Century Jewish fisherman a business owner the son of someone who operated a probably a fam of a long line of family trade but will you need to know even further is the rabbinic background to the story you see when Jewish boys at that time of the Roman Empire Where the Boys At least with some of the most literate people within the Roman Empire as long as you had a synagogue in your town many of the boys were trained on men reading so that they can memorize Torah and from the age of about 5 - 7 boys spend most of their life memorizing the Torah that was their formal instruction and after they would complete this time the person posted at the synagogue would test them and if some of the boys seem to be a little bit smarter than the others a little bit sure where what the Torah they would enter into a school and in the school they would teach them a little bit more formally and part of their attention was to memorize the first five books of the they had to know things like how many times was the word weld used in the tour on the first five bucks and it had to be able to spit so if they were really good at this they were them progress on to the next stage the next school and the homes at the completion of the next school was that a Wonder Rabbi with comes but they are always tied to the temple or other big houses of worship Nazareth at your synagogue you know National had a population of less than 100 people so obviously they're not going to have a live-in Rabbi there all the time that's why they passed the scroll to the man and Jesus did his reading of the scroll and he said this day it's fulfilled in your hearing and her like them outside three of these Jewish boys the best of the best were then taught how to memorize the law and the prophets and a drug connection between the wisdom literature of the prophets what are the first five books of the Bible and then a rabbi would come to town and he would take you to man and he would quiz each young man but also something else happen at that time what if they fail the rabbi's test they were then sent out to ply their father's trade right so at this time while they're memorizing the tour on the law and the prophets they were also go count and they were learning how and Peter's case to fish and then they would wait for the day every Jewish mother wanted this for her son when a rabbi would come to town engage them in casts and if they pass he would say a phrase to them black Hickory come follow me  every Jewish mother wanted that for her boy come follow me then he would accept the offer to enter into training under this teacher the master become a disciple the mothers would take their sons to the outs what's of the town and they would save this blessing over them may the dirt from the Masters sandals be always on your robes right it's kind of like the opposite of the Barton mom like come back with your Shield or on it can you walk so closely to your master that may his dirt always be but they're from the same as always be on the front of your robes meaning that's how close going even imitated the way they eat their food the way they pray the way they talk  that's what it meant to be a Bulova master of a rabbi in Jesus's time  I want you to note something Jesus does not walk up to a bunch of boy we're already in a wrapping it who are already in a school under a master he walks up to men who are what we're plying their father's trade it says the words come follow me is boys with long to hear the words of a rabbi Here Comes This Rabbi and says the phrase Electric Erie but it doesn't within the context of their lives come follow me and I will make you Fishers of Men and this is key for us to understanding what it means to follow flights because Jesus Christ desires from us a total adherence and a lifelong commitment those are the words taken from Pope John Paul second grade and cyclical catechesis redundant talks about educating people today on the church and he says there are actually some children who are coming but they have never been taught the gospel and there might actually be adults who show up at the church who might even go to mass who have never the faith preached to them who might have an education here and there but have never had an invitation to Christ  to make a total clearance and a lifelong commitment to him  that's what I do is I start going around in and I start talking with people at my parish and I find out that there might some there there might be some people are really solidly catechize they know what the church teaches but they haven't been evangelized they don't know who Christ is in their lives so they might have a tremendous what can olives  but they don't have a prayer life in fact one of the things I heard the kind of shook me to my core cuz it's just as much about me as it is anyone else guy said there are plenty of smart people in hell but I'm having their only holy people  play dumb people in hell to put matters is your holiness is your proximity to Christ is you following after Jesus Christ I love this in uncle that scares me to my core that's why I love it cuz it's that that awkward kind of lover a challenges you literally the title is the wood  Jesus the would-be followers of Jesus as they were going along the road a man said to him I will follow you wherever you go in Jesus as foxes have holes the birds of the air nests but the son of man has no place to lay his head what does that mean that's really quick but he's saying you want to follow me not staying at the Ritz bro I'm sleeping on the ground I have a home I don't have a place to lay my head foxes have holes birds of the air have nests and you ready to come and follow me  to another he said follow me but he said Lord let me first go and bury my father you've probably heard this one before you're familiar with this what did Jesus say in response Let the dead bury the dead does that ever confuse you like it is literally a Christian a Corporal work Mercy the bury the dead Jesus and the author here Luke is driving home to us is the absolute to follow Christ when he calls when he calls I was working with a drug addict who was trying to get free of his crack addiction and I was talking with him and I said where is God in your life and he said there are three distinct times in the midst of my addiction where I heard the voice of God clearly  I need to those times I said out loud no so I could go score drugs  so what do you mean he says well this what time in particular I remember most vividly I'm driving down the street going to the place where I usually buy going to police car rolls right by me 3 in the morning the sky use let's pull over cuz you just look Shady right and its car is a just and just is a sketch of character because his whole life and been absorbed by drug addiction right driving down  the carpet this passes him and he says he heard it as if as if someone were sitting in the car with him turn around can go away from this and he said I just grabbed the steering wheel and said no and I drove forward the voice was spoken to him clear say many of us do not get that kind of audible encounter and there it is about to go to jail whole life completely unraveled and it look what do I do when my totally lost right now let's repent is it what does that even mean was what we going to talk about tomorrow but I let him I talked with him in this moment I said listen this is what your play you took a God in your name that drugs and you were stupid and you made sacrifices to at the sacrifice was your future it was you no car payments that your parents had to bail you out on it was all people who constantly had to float you money it was Society had to pay for your shenanigans you robbed people you made all of this stuff and Christ as well to take all of your sin from you forever and all he wants you to do his luck he wants you to do him  continued the person looked at me and said I went to confession to a priest and I said wonderful they said the priest for my Penance I said I must have been an epic infection and he said it was took me 30 minutes I had delayed Saturday evening mass by about 15 minutes  is the most popular person there and I said what was your Penance and he said I don't know something the songs and I said Psalm 51 he was like how did you know and I have mercy on me God in your goodness and your abundance passion blot out my offense  and we start praying it together and I start praying over and I put my hand on his head and I just start praying for him too syrians Christ mercy and there was one line in there when he says basically the song mrs. is pleading to God for Mercy I met my sin my sin always before me in all the stuff and at this moment he says but you will loan can say he says and if you were stormy Sinners will return to you he says that if you restore me I'll be so thankful I'll lean Sinners back to you and this young man as I was praying over and when I read those words out loud he dropped to his knees Eastern Sabah controllably know what I did 10 minutes late again play music no that's not it was like Ben Sinners shall return to you and I will show them your way and he's like that is why God put me here that's why God called me he's like I can't tell you how many awkward conversations I get in the crack house telling people that God loves them and I thought there was no more hope for me I had no idea God was real but I felt in this in that God are God's forgiveness was real I felt it was real for other people  that's like you this is the weirdest story of house preaching God's love these like all the time I know that this is my stumbling block so will you follow him  this is the the story is still being written for them to take steps for and he gets a frayed and takes two steps back and gets guarded why do we step away from God's invitation to follow him  now you got understand this whole dead bury the dead thing I heard one scholar tell it to me that as his father wasn't dead yet so he was going to wait till his father what's this East Berry him and then follow Jesus Jesus can use that when he calls you follow why why does Jesus want that from us  because he's literally the only one that could ask that from us are employers can't no one on the face of this Earth could ask us to do that except the Living God except the Living God come follow me the would-be followers another said I Will Follow You Lord but first let me say farewell to those at my house Jesus says if anyone puts his hand to the plow you don't look back  have you ever worked with a beast plowing a field have you ever done that actually like it like animal not like a tractor or something like that it is the craziest expense will you take this plow and you shove it into the Earth and you're going in your hitting rocks and you're hitting roots and stuff some of these stories are little bit weird for us to kind of get a hold of them I know there's some Farmers here at least at the Lakeville Brewing Company they Source some of their organic food from a I know that was that was I apologize  put this notion of should the reason why you can't because if you  forward going off track right in that rhymes so you know it's true Okay the reason why you don't look back because if you do you will go off track right the steering forward is quiet of the work that is within you write the work that needs to be done this side of the room that I've ignored so far Jesus is inviting every single one of us no matter what verification or sting in life to follow him excuse free  because the things that is poor excuse the only thing that can excuse us from following him is our sin and the cross renders that argument obsolete  princess oh you going to play me a sin or you're too lost for me well guess what I died for your sins I know every single thing you've ever committed I took it within myself and I've removed that as a no for you to do me a favor  Electric Erie come follow me  there's nothing standing in your way from following me follow me you know what's Catholics often I feel like we were taught not really how to pray but only how to repeat I basically came out of the womb with a Rosary in my turn my family play pray the scriptural Rosary all the time you knew you arrived in the Gormley family when my dad would pass you his Black Knights of Columbus rosary and he would tell didn't start with the Apostles Creed in your like the big prayer right you knew you arrive  but in the context of that so much of my faith was repeated in arise prayers and I value the rosary night value the litanies that I've prayed I value the masses that I've attended but the problem is with a catechism highlights catechism in the opening section on the Liturgy says the church presupposes before you come to the communal worship the Liturgy that you have been evangelized do you have a personal prayer life so you've encountered Jesus Christ in a profoundly personal way  and the reason why mass for so many could be boring repetitive external robotic repeated his because even though these are the memorize prayers of the church that we pray so we can pray with one voice you don't have it going on within us just saying it out loud isn't magically going to change things Jesus literally quotes the Old Testament sometimes I feel like he's screaming it out us today my people they honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me so what is Jesus want us to do United to honor him with our lips with our hearts very near to him and that's why the mass seems external memorized and repeated Vanessa robotic can we create distance we get bored with massive have ever been bored at a mass right okay three of you okay I know you guys are doing but you're doing it right  copy all in their head T-Rex arms like don't you raise your hand I'm going to raise my Jesus in John chapter 10 says and the Sheep follow him for they know his voice  a stranger they will Fallout 4 they do not know his voice and the reason why I feel like it is so difficult to get Catholics excited about following Jesus Christ is because we have turn to him in prayer we don't know the Master's Voice Even when he cost us it's still the voice of a stranger we haven't spent time in person giving ourselves over to Jesus Christ uprooting things that have nothing to do with following and simplifying our lives so that we can follow him when and where he needs being servants to ruin my life and he said being a servant but dictating when and how you serve is it really being a servant I did not want to hear that next being a servant means you do what the master asks of you  at the master is asking you to join you for Ministry but you're recording quote will the Nets not my thing but your parents needs it maybe the master is guiding you to that where is the need not what suits my personality I mean that's a part of you maybe Christ is calling you into a form of service or into a form of sacrifice if you're not used to but Jesus has one command for you today it's not a suggestion  it's not a suggestion this is the thing we put so many Asterix right on Jesus's words commands off call me well I mean after I bury my uncle well if you stay at the Hilton when you go from town to town right Jesus doesn't he just come follow me come do this thing and this the command I want you to think about tonight as we end our reflection today put out into deeper waters put out into deeper waters if you are a Sunday Catholic only son to put out into deeper waters I don't know your life I don't know your back I think you're probably pretty amazing because you're here now maybe you are very close to God or maybe you are very far from God and that's why you're here  I want to thank I'm coming out tonight because I think that a community that is investing their free time in their faith to learn more about what is this extraordinary call of God my life this is a faith that is blessed a bull right you're blessed of all right when we keep our heads to ourselves when we only poor thoughts on our cells and increasing our own world the glory we don't become blessed Apple when people begin giving of themselves generously that is when our ministry cancer bearing fruit and I don't need we become rich and wealthy in fact when you start to follow Christ Jesus take some of that stuff away which is really annoying in 1st Peter he says Christ suffered and you should you two should follow in his footsteps Jesus says known to be a disciple of mine unless take up his cross and follow me Jesus where'd you go with that cross  you went to Calvary  why did you do oh oh you did that for me okay I want to end with another story there's a young girl two girls live a Crazy Life there in high school 16 years old driving cars and alcohol and all this stuff and I would try my best to break into their lives the mom was clueless God lover the dad was absent and here I am trying to speak some truth into their life stop preaching the gospel and their face are just like  you know that you got understand something about youth ministry I think I'm a very secure man but what a high school student rolls why is that me I'm like oh my God it just destroys me it just destroyed me no one can roll their eyes like a high school soon right parents and  so I go back into this room and I'm talking with the priest friend of mine one of my best friends growing up and I'm like just wish I could be like Saint Anthony stop and then all the fishes showed up so don't people like will listen that right  scientist what ability to be indifferent you know just preach the gospel and not let it affect me so much and he looked at me and he goes  you don't think ejecting gospel affects the Saints  like when they're preaching you don't think that broke Saint Anthony paddle was heart like we might have the stories of him then leaving and are what if he's a saint it broke his heart  there's a great line about the St Michael the Archangel where you putting all these glorious things rolled in one scale and the rubbish of the world in the other scale and he says in the other scale he threw things regardless Outcast few martyr cash Arena sand of St Francis is quarter Strand and then he said this beautiful I'm disillusions and the Spheres of young Saints with grief grade hairs the broken hearts that break from man  tonight brothers and sisters you have a wonderful opportunity it doesn't matter what
