CANCER: A new study by the American Cancer Society reveals that four in 10 cancer cases and about one-half of all cancer deaths in adults age 30 and older in the United States are attributable to modifiable risk factors. These include smoking, excess body weight, alcohol consumption, physical activity, diet, and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Smoking tops the list, contributing to nearly 20 percent of cancer cases and close to 30 percent of cancer deaths.

CATHOLIC: I saw this on Facebook and thought it was worth sharing – “Worshiping does not = praying, bowing to, kneeling to, honoring, etc. They can be used within worship for respect and honor but are not necessarily worship or adoration but rather veneration (a high honor). That’s where Protestants get confused.
“Worship actually = a sacrifice; killing and spilling the blood of an animal or human and offering it up. That’s why Catholic churches have altars where we do the one and only sacrifice to God alone. Everything else with Mary and the saints is just veneration. No sacrifice or adoration involved. Just pure honor.
“Protestants get confused with veneration and adoration because they use veneration to “worship” God and not adore Him with a sacrifice therefore they think we worship saints and idols when we venerate them.”

LEGEND: Less than 24 hours after being injured in an assassination attempt, Trump played a round at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster. Afterwards, his motorcade took him to Newark Liberty International Airport to fly to the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin.
WHITE PRIVILEGE: In the latter half of the 19th century, American textile companies employed more than 80,000 children, some as young as 8. Not only were they deprived an education, but also they were exposed to dangerous machinery and chemicals. Philadelphia was the worst offender and so was chosen by reformers as the focal point for protests aimed at reform.
