Palm Sunday Conversation About Dreams
Welcome to Psalm Punday! Today, we live in a world of guns and violins. Personally, I don’t condone violins. I’m rather partial to violas. Seriously, thanks for having me here at the All Souls Waccamaw Unitarian Universalist Church. We tried this once before. And then...

Zero Sum Game
I say the answer to the above is 10. But my math-wiz-friend, Chuck Greenia, says it’s "kind of a trick. In formal mathematics, multiplication and division are done before addition and subtraction, making the answer -80." Sheesh! Formal mathematics sounds even...
