A Mary T. Hoffman Commentary from All-Creatures.org

 

"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful.  At the same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true peace and compassion.

Strong Bones – 29 January 2007
By Mary T. Hoffman

In a study of girls aged 12 through 22 at Penn State University, Tom Lloyd, Ph.D. found that milk did not strengthen their bones.
