This was recently gifted to me by a friend.

Now I'm finding it impossible to dispose of because someday, I ***might*** just need it for when I dust off my 30-year old computer (which I also still haven't gotten rid of) and pop in those WordPerfect 8 floppies.

1️⃣ "Five years ago, about 30 incoming freshmen at UC San Diego arrived with math skills below high-school level. Now, according to a recent report from UC San Diego faculty and administrators, that number is more than 900—and most of those students don’t fully meet middle-school math standards."

Incredible story! I wonder what would be the modern-day equivalent.

Showed up to church early at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Greenwood, SC and was treated to a wonderful musical performance from Benjamin Watkins, D.M. It was an unexpected, but absolutely needed, blessing to receive this morning.

Of all the "WHY" questions I've asked in my life:
- Why am I here?
- Why do bad things happen to good people?
- Why did the Eagles blow a 21 point lead over the Cowboys?

THIS was never one of my "WHY" questions!
