TNL UPDATE

Gentlemen:

Greetings!   I write on the eve of Super Tuesday -- and if the "election season" is any indication, that traditional discipline of the Lent -- prayer in private (see the Sermon on the Mount, Mt. 5-7) -- is most needed.  

In other matters (thankfully unrelated to the heated political rhetoric), I'll be busy for the next two Wednesdays (3/2 & 3/9) with board meetings.  Thus, we'll meet next on Wednesday, March 16th!  

See you soon!

Your Scribe,
PRDunklau
