I don't get it!  Half your Discussion Group promos say "just after services
at the Boiling Spring Church of Christ  every  Sunday";  the other half say
"just after services at the  Boiling  Springs  General Baptist Church  every
Sunday."  Which is it?  Is it the same town?

Yes, it is the same town.  It's in northern Warren County, Kentucky, just south of
Edmonson  County;  and the two churches sit across the street from each other –
Chalybeate  Road,  Kentucky Highway No. 743.    The different spellings of the
town are just one indication of the theological diversion between the churches.

A young man in Decatur,  Alabama,  had a compelling story:
His father died in the 9/11 terror attacks;  his mother had just
one leg; he had no other living relatives, and he was stranded
in  Alabama  with no way to make the 600-mile trip home to
Indiana after being robbed.

Police officers from six agencies gave him food,  money and
a connection for a ride back north.  It was  only  later,  police
said,  that they discovered that much of  the  man’s  tale  was
fiction:  His  name  was  fake,  both his parents are alive,  his
mom  has  both  legs,  and  there  were several other relatives.

But  no  charges  are  planned  after  what police described as
a good-faith effort to help someone in need  went  awry.  "Re-
gardless of the situation he was stranded and didn’t have any-
body.  We're happy to help get him him back up there,”  said
Mike Swafford,  a spokesman for the Morgan County,  India-
na, Sheriff.

Elon Musk said Sunday that he plans to change the logo of
Twitter from the bird to an X. which would be the latest big
change since he bought the social media platform last year.

In a series of posts on his Twitter account  starting just after
12  a.m.  ET,  Twitter's owner said that he's looking to make
the change worldwide as soon as Monday.

There is no "12 a.m." The "m" stands for "meridian," the "a"
for "ante,"  or "before";  and the "p" stands for "post" or "af-
ter." Thus noon is the meridian, or, technically, "12 m." (but
acceptably "12 p.m.," since it immediately precedes 12:01 p.-
m.  "12 a.m." is arguably acceptable for midnight also, since
it precedes the meridian, but it immediately follows 11:59 p.
m.).  Midnight,  the cusp of the days,  is thus best "12 p.m.,"
or 12 hours  after  noon.   You can say "12 a.m.,"  switching
the days,  but scientists don't.

                            I'm 36 years old and married,  with three children.
                            I have two siblings I have good relationships with.

                            But we have a half-sister two years younger than I
                            who doesn’t know we exist.   When my parents
                             were  married,  my  father  had  an affair with
                             married woman;  and they conceived my half-
                             sister.   My parents ultimately divorced.   My
                             father’s mistress went back to her husband,
                             and they remain married.
                                   
                             My half-sister was never told who  her  biological
                             father is or that she has three half-siblings.  I have
                             struggled my entire life about sharing this informa-
                             tion with her and I don’t want to ruin her life.

                             Our father passed away 20 years ago, and she will
                             never have a relationship with him.     My other sib-
                             lings  also  haven’t been able to bring themselves to
                             share this information with her.

                             I remain torn because she and I  are  close  in  age,
                             look  alike,  and  have  gone  into  similar  fields of
                             work.  I'd love to have a relationship with her.

                             I understand that she may not want to have a rela-
                             tionship  with us  and may have a few questions a-
                             bout why we waited so long to tell her.   Is sharing
                             the truth worth potentially ruining her life?
