Aloud is the way he read the passage whenever he was allowed.

[Qapla]

Disqualifying oneself just before a major event usually indicates something very extenuating.

Successful navigation of a corn maze at dusk, without a map, flashlight, or sense of direction, relies less on strategy and more on stubborn optimism — the kind that convinces you every rustling sound is wind, not raccoons.

[Qapla]

Raccoons not only make good hats, but they can also be good food.

Food for Thinking Christians, I think I've heard that before somewhere.
