OCTOBER 11 / Weekend break

IT'S THE WEEKEND. Turn off your computer. Do something with your family. And give money or time to a good charity, several of which are listed under "Good Charities" in the right column.

This week's nominee: Kingwood First Baptist Church or your own church.

Where else but in a church do millions of adults and children gather each week to talk, think, and pray earnestly about the ultimate meaning of things, to make new friends and enjoy the company of old ones, to learn how to live the truly good life?

The church is Christ's body on earth and the foundation of Western Civilization. You neglect it at your peril and the peril of your culture. Start attending and you can tap into the source of the strength of character your grandparents had.
