People, even once naturalized, as legitimate Americans. If you don’t see the racial elements underlying this, just pause and think about it.

It also just seems like they skipped the first part of each chapter (Mt. 15 and Mk. 7) in order to get to that point. Progressive proof-texting/reading out of context.

But I see what you’re saying, not trying to diminish the structural frustration. It’s a different issue, but I see this sort of thing with a family member who has a chronic illness: the boxes obscure more than they reveal.

Was it actual paper? I would just write your information in as you want it. Most places are doing things electronically now, so that probably isn’t an option. But maybe you could talk directly to your provider about it and they could put a note with clear information in your chart?

into a miniseries (2012), various songs titled as such, including A.A. Bondy's (2007), Five Iron Frenzy's (2000), and a plethora of contemporary worship songs. This strikes me as the same sort of lack of recognition of what is actually translatable in culture as the desire to change "ye" to "you"

judgements have not always been borne out regarding what would be appropriately contemporary, to say nothing of pet theological critiques. In regard to "world without end" it is still variously used in popular culture today, such as in the novel of that name by Ken Folett (2007), which was then made
