He cares for you
“Care” can be a noun or a verb, correct? “I don’t care!” indicates I am not interested in what is being discussed. “I need care” indicates I am interested in having my needs attended to by someone who is capable. “Urgent Care” is different than “Longterm Care.” “I couldn’t care less what happens” (often corrupted to “I could care less”) means little different than saying “whatever!” with an eye roll.

Sleepy Eye Chamber Chatter
It’s been a whirlwind of almost three months into 2022 here at the Sleepy Eye Chamber of Commerce.

Deb from the Herald-Dispatch did a great job covering the night so I won’t give a recap, however I will update you on our now current Board of Directors and Executives who help me make all the big decisions to aid our businesses.
