Yes, because we have done it before, BUT!! That presupposes all 4 of us qualify for state Medicaid programs at that income level (the difference in expenses between that and even very good commercial insurance is quite large for those unexpected medical issues)

Ah yes, killing 3 hours on a deep dive of the personal history of a beef I have no actual connection to, but casual interest in. That sounds nice.

Fun story, when I went to college I tested out of comp 1 & 2, and the tests used bluebooks. In junior year I had a paper that required the typed formatting to be correct, and I had such a hard time with it!
Even now in seminary, like 1/3 of my stress on any given assignment is the formatting.

Of course, as the body of Christ and God's people on earth, we should follow up this knowledge of the character of God with action, action against cultures of death and injustice.
That's what God's love means, to me anyway.

It means, to me, that God sent Jesus in the flesh on a mission to overcome and abolish death itself. So, if you are angry at death, God is angry along with you.
God sent the prophets, and Jesus, to decry the abuse of the poor by the rich and powerful. So, if you're angry at injustice, God is too.

In my (limited) experience, a good enthusiastic delivery often elevates material that I think is "fine", or just not my best work.

Yeah, I realize the Supreme Court is an unsteady ally, but in this case the religious discrimination is obvious and on the face of the issue. There's no way the town wins at the top court.

I'm not even Catholic, and I find this deeply sacrilegious. Almost blasphemous, even.

I just do not understand these people. AOC has been in Congress for 6 years! She represents her district well, and with enthusiasm. She isn't young and new anymore! She's 35! She's also not going anywhere. They need to get with her or get out her way, seriously.

Man, I just saw a press conference of Pritzker, and he is going to run for sure. He is saying all the right stuff, and I like the way he runs my state, but like....the man wants to be president so bad I can feel it through my screen. Hard to trust that, but he might be our best hope.

Yes, this is the correct take, Undiscovered Country has always been peak for me when it comes to the first era of movies.
"Cold War but Space" is always good Trek, and both TNG and DS9 were also at their best when they ran with it.
