Ideally, you abide and enjoy the social contract when playing middle-weight board and card games. Bring to teach and learn to play. Somewhere in the dead-center of the board and card gaming universe are folks who want the challenge of learning and playing Euro and "Ameritrash" board games and card games.

This group features weekly games which embody our key concepts: 1. Intensity.  Games should encourage you to push yourself to your physical limits.  Most games will covertly employ the HIIT style of physical training.  I say covertly, for while your muscles might be screaming out like they do during any good exercise, you will be far too focused on capturing the flag to notice. 2. Creativity.  Sometimes unconventional, out-of-the-box thinking is damn near a requirement to winning.  Think "Ender' …

I'm sure many of us have been to Bible studies where everyone gets together and gives their best guess at what a verse or passage means and then leave with little more understanding of the Bible than we came with.

It will not be a formal presentation like a sermon, but rather a relaxed informal atmosphere of friends sittin …

I had problems with an ovarian cyst. I had some severe pain from it over two years ago; then when I had started chanting, I returned to the doctor and the mass was reduced to about half the size. I was so happy that another doctor wasn't recommending surgery. I did dietary changes and other things, but the chanting helped my energy and helped me heal. To be able to live your life without physical pain...what a gift; a gift I already had but had lost. It is my hope that many will use these treasu …
