TNL Pre-Holy Week Edition XIII awaits you!


Gentlemen:

Your pre-Holy Week edition (#13 -- or XIII for you Latin enthusiasts) is ready to go.  Hope to see you tomorrow, 12:00 noon, at Sybil Hopper.  "'Bookends' for Your Day" will feed your spirit.  A book of review of Eugene Peterson's A Long Obedience in the Same Direction  will nourish your mind. And finally, for the body, we'll take a look at a new fitness app -- My Fitness Pal -- for tracking calories (actually very easy) and discuss whether keeping an eye on what you eat is important.  All of it will be animated, of course, with the lively conversation and fellowship that is part and parcel of every League gathering.  Oh, and we'll also have some hail damage reports and make our Masters Golf Tournament picks! 

See you tomorrow!
Your Scribe,
Posted by at
