Emphasis Preaching Journal

Not long ago there was a bill before the state legislature that would have had very adverse effects on the provision of mental health services in our state. Our executive director called a news conference at our regional office and invited me to attend. When I arrived at the office, most of the reporters were already there. A banquet table was set up with microphones. There were four chairs behind the table.
