Surreptitious Saturday

Today's Thought + Grammar Lesson + Spanking

A PRAYER THAT NEVER CEASES 

“Behold, You delight in truth in the inward being, & You teach me wisdom in the secret heart.” (Ps. 51:6)


“The godly always talk as though they were sinners, as indeed they are; but because they are in the truth, they are loved by God & are in grace.”  Martin Luther Psalm by Psalm, Concordia Publishing House, 2017.

Dept. of Shameless Joke-Stealing

"A linguistics professor is lecturing his class. 'In English,' he says, 'a double negative forms a positive. However, in Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative." A voice from the back shouts out, 'Yeah, right.'" [From Reader's Digest, Nov. 2018]

Spanking

Omaha World Herald (11/6):  "Pediatricians come out forcefully against spanking. The nation's leading pediatricians' group has strengthened its advice against spanking & other physical punishment because of the potential for long-term harm."  My parents spanked, & look how I turned out.
