Guess that President

"We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled governments in the civilized world-no longer a government by …a vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."

Clothes

This past weekend we visited some of our friends in State College.  While there, we worshipped at our old church.  Bear in mind there are some striking differences from this church in PA to our new church in NY.   One of them being that the elders wear vestments.
Not missing a beat, Andrew asked me as soon as the pastor walked up front, "Why [does he have his] clothes off?"
