[Oe List ...] OE Digest, Vol 100, Issue 8

[Elsa Bengel]

Yesterday on July 4th John and I sat outside with our friends Robbie and
Bennett and read the Declaration of Independence  to each other taking
turns. I would heartily suggest this to you. When you get to the list of
grievances against the tyrant King George III hang on! Yes, tyrants have
much in common. I recommend the small group for reading so you can reflect
together.
