Musings by Rev. Jim Flagg - "All dressed up and nowhere to go!"

I had to laugh a couple of weeks ago when the big push of “Back-to-School” commercials hit the airwaves. Adorable kids dressed to the nines in outfits that we here in the Gulf Coast can’t consider for fear of heat stroke until November. The commercials, for the most part, seemed to totally disregard that most children won’t be heading off to class for another few weeks. For many of our cyber-schooled children it will seem that the “dog days of summer” had a litter of puppies and it will continue as it was for a while yet.
