I have heard ministers preach that I haven’t heard in a while. I even enjoy Bible Study on Wednesdays in the comfort of my home.

I know I’ve said this before, but I really mean it now, I am so sorry for all those student workers of mine at TAMU that had to shred papers. In addition, back then you had to remove staples.

Thank you to all who remain at their duty stations (including our local newspaper outlets) and to those who are keeping the home fires burning during this season of trial and testing.
