“To many people, the mention of the blood of Christ is distasteful. However, on [a] visit to Mayo Clinic I noticed that at each reception desk there were pamphlets entitled A Gift of Life, urging people to donate blood.

If he is to become a ball player, he must learn the rules of the game. And, contrary to popular thinking, children appreciate rules.”
