Retired pastor here. I once sent a confused new parent outside to the row of headstones directly behind our old church. 3 little stones mark the deaths of 3 children between 1 & 10: died July - Nov. 1897. Next is a slightly larger stone: Mother, who died Feb. 1898. Lesson learned. Baby got the DPT.

Yeah, I would never let a kid attend a church where the clergy hadn't been background checked, and in a denomination that doesn't have a "safe sanctuary " policy. The Baptists have an awful track record in this regard. Tim Alberta's "The Power and the Glory" has a lengthy section about this.

You're most welcome. I grew up about 40 miles from there, in Maryland. About the only palms one sees in Maryland, DC, & Virginia, where they aren't native, are smaller varieties used in landscaping, particularly around the beaches, and sometimes in pots. Needle palms and saw palmettos especially.

They largely stuck to a Top 50, if not Top 40, playlist with some oldies thrown in; but there were many crossover hits in the Top 40 back then.

No, I'm being accurate. The Senator never said he knew the source of the transfers. He wants to investigate further but the Rs voted against it. Trump- and others - certainly could've gone to Epstein's homes & abused girld without having made wire transfers. This is a related but different issue.
