    If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have God, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move ...

Science has shown us that we can protect ourselves from these microorganisms by washing our hands. We are taught to not touch our faces with our hands. As a teacher, I repeatedly tell my students to wash their hands and keep their hands away from their mouth, nose, and eyes because that is how nasty ...
