ON the Parsing of Phrases and Cliches

God's Boys will be good boys!

In the War of Words and the Tongue our Measure and the Battle of “Railing Accusations”, I, nor the angels know exactly what it was that the Devil did that stole the Glory from God. We all look into this fierce heated furnace of taking the glory from God and try to avoid it.

We do well to simply say to the devil, “The Lord rebuke you!” He is a liar and the father of such. It seems that it is the pursuit of the angels to clean up the languages of the nations to shine forth the Glory of God, in the inner man. Wimbledon, this year seemed to represent that to me.

The glory of power, represented by the Williams’ sisters versus the glory of youth, represented by Garbine. I said, to myself it is astounding that she is Spanish. I always see Cervantes’ perceptions, when the Spanish are spotlighted. He seems still striving on their behalf.

A few years ago, I saw her touting her abilities and I said to myself, “What an impudent child, to think that she can beat the “Power”.” She said it and she proved her abilities in subsequent battles with them. She is a force to be reckoned with. She is a symbol of something godly. A humble demeanor and a fierce game was her uprising.

To use a movie reference, Is it audacious to think that a woman can swim the English Channel? Is it silly to think a twelve year old can win the Grand National with a horse of hers? {Natonal Velvet} It may be, but God is showing forth a greater battle of the rising to God on the humbling of our most mischievous part of our bodies, our tongues.

The match was held in secret, so I wasn’t privy to the details of the intricacies of the hammering of that truth. The outcome was obvious to me and to everyone. DeNada is more humble than “You’re Welcome”. It is really nothing, whatsoever we do that can be exalted in our own estimations or anothers.

Thank you, Thank you and again I thank you, said Ferrer. You are welcome, you are welcome said Mawi in response. Thank you is always welcome, but De Nada is more acceptable than You are welcome to it. Sometimes you’re welcome hides a bitter spirit of hoarding, etc.

At Trafalgar…Spain actually won in this battle~~~~go figure?

the benefits and value of a playful laugh?

God's Boys will be good boys!

I had the privilege of enjoying an inexplicable laugh with a little friend, yesterday. It made me remember a day that we went in the car with uncle and all 4 of our girls that were born at that time, couldn't stop laughing. Our dear cousins looked in the back of the car like we were strange. Uncle explained to our incredulous cousins that that is what girls do. They giggle. We giggled and giggled as much as we cried. Sometimes we provoked the giggles by a joke or a tickle, but most times we could just look at each other and find the joke.

Sometimes our dad didn't get the joke and he would try to control us and squash the joke. That is not a good thing to try to do as a dad. Let them giggle. Try to enter into the giggle as much as masculinely possible.

One good joke my father was able to laugh with us about, was when we made him our puppet. We put our hands through his arms and used our hands to act out what he was saying with his funny ladylike voice. We laughed for the whole night, each taking turns being dad's hands. I highly recommend that young fathers and old take time to giggle with their girls.

Appealing a grade without losing your decorum?

God's Boys will be good boys!

tis a daunting task, suggests mother!

I read your request and I gave you my editorial corrections, for the most part. Personally, I believe in accepting an untoward grade and perhaps that is why I haven't graduated yet. It will all come out in the wash, I say. Still, I respect your use of the written word to implore a reconsideration of the grade, on your behalf. Our forfathers would have said "They crucified my Lord..." Is godliness accepting the decision of the teacher? Sometimes. A quiet request to reconsider is in order, I think. People will pay God for all of their unfair dolings. I'd see God's hand of humbling as in Shimei with David. I accept his cursings, said David. Maybe God will see it and have mercy on me for my times of misjudging another. God is in control, whatever the outcome. All the best, dear boy.
