Contributed by Leonard Davis on Mar 4, 2016

Be In The Know (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Feb 4, 2019

BE IN THE KNOW (part two) To be in the know means to be knowledgeable about something or to have access to information about something; especially if it's exclusive. It means to be aware or well-informed on a topic that's not widely known. The topic of Jesus is widely known but when it ...read more
