The Bible tells us that God is love (1 John 4:8), and 1 John 3:18 says, “My children, our love should not be only words and talk. Our love must be true love. And we should show that love by what we do.” God loves us more than anything, and we love Him as well. We can show His love by being kind and loving to our family, our friends, and those we meet. This Monday for Valentine’s Day, remember St. Valentine and how he died for the sake of love. Then remember even more God’s love for us – so much so that His Son died for us so we would be saved and go to heaven to live with Him. Tell those you love how much you care and appreciate them. Make or give them a valentine. Then don’t forget to tell God how much you love and appreciate Him also. I bet, He would love to get a Valentine from you too! And Happy Valentine’s Day to each and every one of you from me! Let’s say a prayer together. Dear God, thank You for men and women like St. Valentine who never gave up on love. We know that You love us unconditionally. Help us to love others as You love us. In Your name we pray, Amen. NATIONAL CITIES McArthur 51/32 Waverly 51/30 MONDAY Elizabeth 58/40 Spencer 57/40 A: Yes.

Uzomah tried to send a message that he wouldn’t miss the Super Bowl by taking the brace off his left knee and tossing it behind him onto the Bengals’ logo during a pep rally. His coach said Wednesday he’s optimistic about Uzomah’s progress even as the Bengals kept the tight end out of practice. Zac Taylor says Uzomah likely will work at practice Thursday with the Bengals taking advantage of having three days of work left to see where the veteran is. Uzomah played only nine snaps in the AFC championship game before hurting his knee. He caught 49 passes for 493 yards and five touchdowns in the best season of his career, and he has 13 catches for 135 yards this postseason. “Again, optimistic with where he’s at,” Taylor said. “Team has handled it really well. We try to keep our scheduling as consistent as possible. And you know, so we’re midway through our first day here, and our guys have handled it really well.” Which way the wind blows The Los Angeles Rams will be practicing Thursday at the Rose Bowl, a change made trying to anticipate winds predicted to blow 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. “That’s the biggest inconvenience of playing the Super Bowl at home that we have to get on a bus,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. “We do that pretty regularly anyway going down to SoFi Stadium.” The Rams’ practices are disrupted by high winds a few times each season during the fall and winter at their training complex, which is particularly susceptible to the problem because the practice fields sit at the base of a small hill in windswept Thousand Oaks with no large buildings or natural windbreaks around them. The Los Angeles area also is under a heat advisory until Sunday night with temperatures expected up to 90 degrees. That’s a big difference in temperature for the Cincinnati Bengals, who had to work through a winter storm last week back in Ohio and a reason why the Bengals flew to Los Angeles on Tuesday. Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said the Bengals are hydrating as best they can and compared this to dealing with cold temperatures later in the season. “What can you do?” Taylor said. “You go out there and you manage it the best you can as you practice through the week. We’re practicing in some pretty good heat right now. I think our guys will do a great job handling it.” Prince’s return Isaiah Prince has no regrets about the difficult decision he made last season. Opting out because of the coronavirus pandemic still wasn’t easy for the Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle. “Of course, I was very hurt,” Prince said. “I believe that was probably one of the most trying times in my life. Looking back at my career, I don’t think I’ve ever really missed a game, a practice — not in college. “So for me, missing my first season (with the Bengals), that was kind of devastating for me.” Prince was drafted by Miami in the sixth round in 2019 out of Ohio State and played in four games, including two starts, as a rookie. He was waived late that season and claimed by Cincinnati a day later. The 6-foot-7, 305-pound offensive lineman was considered a potential depth piece to help protect then-rookie quarterback Joe Burrow.

But I stayed faithful and kept believing in myself.” Prince, whose Bengals teammate Josh Tupou also opted out, went back to school during the year away from football and finished his undergraduate degree at Ohio State. He used boxing to help him train and also worked out at LeCharles Bentley’s O-Line Performance facility in Arizona. Prince returned to the Bengals this season, made the roster out of training camp and took over as the starting right tackle when Riley Reiff was lost for the season with an ankle injury in December. And now Prince is preparing to start in the Super Bowl. “Those times definitely helped prepare me for AJ Mast | AP Cincinnati Bengals’ C.J.

It takes a toll emotionally on you, but you never felt that watching him play. He was cool. He was calm. “There’s a great belief and energy. And that magic. Hopefully there’s enough magic to get past this team of All-Pros and all stars.” Palmer says the biggest key to the game will be for Burrow to get the ball out quickly to be able to beat the Rams’ pass rush. “They’ve been so creative with moving (Ja’Marr) Chase around and finding ways to get him the ball,” Palmer said between appearances on Radio Row Wednesday. “Joe (Burrow) just can’t sit back there.

She suggested in a November interview with The New York Times that Biden had overreached with his plans for new government programs that recalled the Depression-era agenda of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. “Nobody elected him to be FDR; they elected him to be normal and stop the chaos,” she said. After the article was published, Spanberger said, she got a call from Biden, who said “this is President Roosevelt calling.” Biden was “belly laughing,” she said. Prescription drugs remain a politically safe focal point for Biden’s visit, and Spanberger said the president was right to push forward on it. “One of the most unsettling things for people is the inability to afford their prescription drugs,” she said. The tougher question is how to blunt Republican criticism on inflation and convince skittish lawmakers such as West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin to back Biden’s pared down economic agenda. Manchin, the decisive Democratic vote, has said the priority should be on stopping inflation rather than on more government spending. Meanwhile, Republicans seized on Thursday’s inflation report to blast Biden for his $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package for fueling the spike in prices. “Rampant inflation and soaring prices are crushing, crushing the American people,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday in remarks on the Senate floor. “If you haven’t personally gotten a pay raise of 8% or more in the last year, then Democrats’ policies have given you a pay cut.” A December poll by the APNORC Center for Public Affairs Research found inflation and personal financial issues rising as priorities for Americans. In an open-ended question, 14% named inflation among their top priorities for the government to be working on this year, compared with almost nobody naming it a year before. In an AP-NORC poll conducted in January, just 37% said they approved of Biden’s handling of the economy, down from 60% in March of 2021 and slightly lower than his overall approval rating, which stood at 43%. Efforts to lower prescription drug costs have long been popular with voters, but bipartisan consensus has proved elusive. It’s unclear if there’s a political path forward for Biden’s plans in Congress. His proposals include capping out-of-pocket medication costs for Medicare recipients at $2,000 per year and insulin at $35 per month. In addition, Medicare would be allowed to negotiate prices for a limited number of prescription drugs and drugmakers would be required to pay rebates if they raise costs faster than inflation.
