Things not to say to Law Enforcement: 1. I can’t reach my license unless you hold my beer. 2. Sorry, Officer, I didn’t realize my radar detector wasn’t plugged in.. 3. Aren’t you the guy from the Village People? 4. Hey, you must’ve been doin’ about 125 mph to keep up with me! Good job! 5. You’re not gonna check the trunk, are you? 6. I pay your salary! 7. So, uh, you on the take, or what? 8. Gee, Officer! That’s terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too! 9. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.

Q: My doctor told me I have prediabetes. After reading one of your recent articles about how devastating diabetes can be, I am very interested in avoiding becoming diabetic. How can I find a nearby diabetes prevention program that can help and guide me in this effort?

Q: My children have had ear infections since they were less than a year old. Whenever we saw their doctor some years ago for this problem, I was given a prescription for a decongestant.

Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it.

Q: My wife and youngest son have been diagnosed with COVID on home testing. Our son is having only common cold symptoms and seems otherwise all right; however, my wife is having an increasingly sore throat, such that she can barely talk, apparently due to swelling. Should I be concerned about this worsening and what can I do to help her?

Lamenting tourists is a common theme in letters to the editor, both in the past Munising News and now in The Munising Beacon. In a recent letter, a resident begrudged the lack of free access to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore for locals.

Did you ever think about writing a concise history of America from God’s perspective? I have, and it’s centered on what’s known as our three Great Awakenings. Awakenings to what? To Jesus Christ’s death on the cross in our place, and His resurrection from the dead.
