**Important note** Hello friends. There are some nefarious folks that are tagging some of you with a "reminder" that you can purchase CBT merchandise and they provide a link. Please don't click on that link, as it is a scam. We will never tag you with that type of post, and any real offers for CBT merchandise will come from our official account, not some individual account. Unfortunately, we are not able to prevent this type of behaviour except by disallowing all comments, which is not our wish. Thanks for your understanding, and we appreciate all of you supporting the work of CBT through your prayers and encouragement.
