Tomorrow's sermon at St. John's. Placed behind a cut so that the uninterested may move on.

In the name of God, the one, the Undivided Trinity. AMEN.

Where I come from, in the school where pupils are 11 to 14 years old, which we call "junior high school", we had to participate for the first time in what you would call "PE class" and what we called "gym". It's supposed to toughen you up, get you in good physical shape, and also build character. Whatever character is.
