Wake Up and See the Glory
Eppie Lederer wrote newspaper columns for nearly 50 years. In outlets across the nation under the pen name Ann Landers she offered advice to people on a range of issues. One of her favored expressions was, “Wake up and smell the coffee.” This charge evokes shuffling to the kitchen on a dark, early morning, hair matted up to one side, eyes squinting partially closed. You set the brewer and hear the comforting sound of the churl of heating and dripping water.

Why Should I Care About the Trinity?
