TNL Edition IV Tomorrow!

Gentlemen:

See you -- hopefully! -- at Edition IV of The Nicodemus League tomorrow.  As always, we meet in the Sybil Hopper Room at First Presbyterian Church (1114 W. University Drive, Denton, Texas  76201).  Time:  12:00noon-1:00pm.  

Our friends at Panera Bread will provide the bodily nourishment tomorrow.  

Then, for the spirit, we'll delve into a short but powerful little text on boasting provided by the prophet Jeremiah!  For the mind, we'll chew on a handful of assertions on the power of ritual in our lives.  And for the body, we'll discuss some of the latest gadgets that have hit the stores that help record our sleep patterns, heart rate, blood pressure, calories, etc.  

If you haven't signed up for email distribution of this blog, do so over on the right of your screen!  

Bring a friend!

Best Regards,
PRDunklau
