I liked the article on the Lord's Supper. I'll try to keep that in mind next time we have ours. We only have them quarterly, though.
I haven't been to the dentist since that report appeared, but I expect he still recommends flossing. I admit I don't floss as often as I should.
That political correctness article was too careful, almost meaningless.
I enjoyed the articles about the Olympics. I'd like to see more of the competitions with the refugee team. Good for the Christian athletes, that they are using their platform to witness positively!
As always, thank you.
I'm still flossing.
