Mark 1:21-28

Paul says don't eat meat! I haven't had meat since 2001. Ha! Just kidding. The decisions we make do affect others, and our faith calls us to act with responsibility toward our neighbors.

Also, I apologize first for this being a week late, secondly for accidentally recording into the following hymn, and thirdly for not figuring out how to edit that out.
