---Christian books for prisoners, obese statistics, bad traffic lights 

" Obesity Death Rate Lower Than Thought "

" But like several recent smaller studies, it found that people who are modestly overweight actually have a lower risk of death than those of normal weight. "

We live in a large metropolitan area of the US, where it is possible to be stopped twice on the opposite sides of an underpass. The mayor was elected, in part, on a promise to synchronise the traffic lights, which he apparently took to mean those in a 10-12 block area of the city center.

Ray Hall of Port St. John, Florida sends Christian books to prisons all over the world.
I have several years of experience with a prisoner correspondence Bible study. There can be no better counter to recidivism, and no better means to reverse lives of crime, hate, and violence than Peace through Jesus Christ ( Philippians 4:7 ).


Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
Proverbs 17:28
