Diaper Drama
My daughter (13) and son (16) attended a homeschool dance last night. Yes, homeschoolers have dances, and from what I am told they are heavily monitored with moms perched like hawks along the perimeter of the dance floor, vigilant for scurrying sins.

Singing through facemasks, social distancing in the pews, and giving your deacon a spiritual elbow bump, were all inane, and, as it turns out, wholly ineffectual penetrations of the State sphere into the Church.
