Every time I go to a new restaurant, they seem to have some kind of rewards club to join. “Just give us your phone number for perks!” the screen—or an eager staffer—insists, while I mentally calculate whether I really want to hand my number to yet another corporation. "What’s in it for me?" is the... Continue Reading →
I was recently invited by a friend to a baptism service at his Baptist church, where his child was to be baptized. As a friend—and, admittedly, the token Presbyterian in the room—I was glad to attend. After the service, conversation naturally turned toward the subject of baptism itself.
