Dear Brothers:
Moments before I began this missive, Dawn Cobb of the Denton Record Chronicle reported that we were at "Level 4" ("Level 5" being worst) for violent thunderstorms/tornados in our area. Currently, we're under a watch, but that may change.
With optimism born of faith, I'm planning on meeting with you tomorrow, and I hope you can come. If things are not good, I'll be in touch via this medium and email. Boxed sandwiches will be on hand (email your order: prdunklau@gmail.com).
I'll have a short devotion, and then I propose this for conversation: for quite awhile, I've been of the view that the problems in our country are primarily spiritual and cultural and not political (although on the latter, we have both "sides" saying, in so many words, that "the system is rigged." If they are spiritual and cultural problems, what makes us think that political "solutions" are going to remedy them? I'd be very interested to know what you think.
At any rate, I hope to see you tomorrow.
Your Scribe,

P.S. Keep Bear Manor in your prayers; he had hip replacement surgery earlier today.

I", great conversation, laughter, and a quick review of our

See you soon!

No Meeting Tomorrow
Brothers:
Unfortunately, I have a rehab evaluation that will keep me
over our time together. Thus, our next meeting will be next Wednesday,
April 13th, at the usual time! See you then to continue the celebration
of Easter!
