Too good NOT to share.

My brothers and sisters in Christ I want you to know that I care about your souls enough to share these truths with you:

You don’t need JavaScript to make a web page.

You don’t need JavaScript to write styles.

You don’t need JavaScript to make an animation.

You don’t need JavaScript just to show content.
