But in seeking back again at my 1st a few Expeditioner dispatches from my Europe vacation, the themes were not precisely the stuff of church homilies. They involved: Offering cigarettes in London, The Satan, and illegally traveling to Paris’s catacombs. To redeem myself, I was resolved to make my fourth dispatch crammed with family values.
