Continuing my journey into sauce making I made my first white wine sauce. I gained inspiration from reading some of the sauce recipes from the book “Sauces”. According to my biggest critic, the sauce was delicious.
With 2020 throwing right hooks and uppercuts like Mike Tyson, it’s easy to see how some are letting their worries and choosing sides take over their logic, manners and even common courtesy.
There has been much debate lately on whether students should return to the classroom this school year or remain online and virtually. I am here to tell you that the students in this country, county, and town should be back in school and in the classrooms, this fall without a shadow of a doubt. After doing much research concerning COVID-19, it has been proven that kids are 20 times as likely to die from the flu as they are the Coronavirus. Even if students do get the virus, almost all of them will statistically recover very quickly. You might ask, well wouldn’t the kids give it to adults and the elderly? The answer according to the facts and statistics is unequivocally no. Adults give it to students 95 percent of the time, while the other five percent, students will give it to adults...more notably the ages of 25-54 and 55-85 and over. Do not get it twisted, precautions need to be taken of course, with all teachers and students wearing a mask from Junior High and up in the classrooms. This will not apply to elementary students, as the percentage of kids giving the virus to other students and adults is essentially zero. The one exception to the junior high and high school students not wearing masks, is athletics. In this instance, coaches will wear masks at the appropriate times depending on the circumstances.
“It came about at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road.”
I remember reading about Felix Manz when I was in college. I read about how he was taken out to a freezing river in the middle of a bitter Zurich winter, how he was tied up and thrown into the frigid waters, the “third baptism,” they called it, for the Anabaptist who had dared to teach adult baptism. Like most Christian young people, I was fascinated by the stories of the martyrs and spent quite a bit of time reading the dramatic accounts of their steadfast faith, even to the point of death. I suppose when you are a young, spoiled American Christian, it can cause you to wonder what you would really do if it were you. You, kneeling on a beach someplace, about to be beheaded for believing with all your heart that Jesus is real, that the Bible is true, that truth is worth dying for.
