If you live in or around Chattanooga, Tennessee, I have a question I’d like to ask you. If that’s you, would you mind sending me an email? My email address is [email protected]. Thanks! And now let’s get on to some links…

Phantom Vibration Syndrome – Guilty as charged. “That’s right–when you reach for your cell phone, though you are unprovoked by a beep or a hum, you are a slave of biology. And of our modern-day dependency on gadgets.”

    When the Shepherd’s Rod is … You!
