Today, I begin by discussing pardons, and continue into the topic of investigations. These are necessary to restore faith in the justice system.
Do I look tired at 5:00 a.m.? LOL
This week we study the vow of the Nazirite; a reminder that sometimes trying to be too holy is excessive, and the best we can do is to be the best that we are.
