Subj : Todays Bible Verse To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Thu Sep 29 2022 07:13:00 Hi Daryl! DS> Today is Monday September 26, 2022. DS> Proberbs 28:13 He that covers his sins shall not prosper. DS> But, he that confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy. BM> Well I know it's "pronoun" and "adverb", but what's a .... DS> It took a few times looking over the reply before I saw the DS> error... must be from the Bible with First Hezekiah in it, and DS> the verse "Thou Shalt Not Park Here" . Isn't that why the dog gave birth unde the sign "Fine for Parking"? And yes, the error pointing was a bit obscured -- had wanted to do something besides "hey dummy!". DS> Darn fat finger syndrome...but without fat fingers, how do you DS> pick up the food and the silverware??!! Puree it all and suck it up through a straw? DS> It just proves that you need a second set of eyes when you DS> prepare a document, or you'll never see the errors!! BTDT!! DS> Also, I remember all the deals with verb conjugation and DS> grammar back in high school 45 years ago. My 12th grade English DS> teacher was a pastor's wife, and she had an embarrassing DS> experience with one of the kids during this grammar exercise. DS> The deal covered present tense, past tense, and past DS> participle. As a side note, English is the hardest language to DS> learn, especially with all these grammar rules...but those of us DS> who speak it wonder what all the fuss is about. Because we're used to it! Every so often I see a post about the sequence of adjectives and the list goes on for maybe ten lines; order is omething like size then colour unless the size modifies the noun and is a more important descriptor than the colour. And that's only one rule! DS> Anyway, the 2 examples I'll use are as follows: DS> 1) Bring (as bringing something). It should be bring, brought, DS> have brought...but some feel it's bring, brang, brung. DS> 2) Dim (as in low light). It should be dim, dimmed, have DS> dimmed...but, some feel it's dim, dam, dumb. DS> I can understand why the teacher would put her head on the DS> desk, and start sobbing. And think, thank, thunk?! DS> The other thing is for the church bulletin bloopers. They mean DS> well, but the lack of proofreading makes it seem like someting DS> else. While these have been posted before, here are several that DS> come to mind. I guess if the church gets dull, you should have DS> some of these...and, this in case "someone is asking for a DS> friend" (add your own emotions and comments). And, DS> yes...these are actual items that were in church bulletins...they DS> are NOT being made up!! What they meant mean isn't what they said! DS> 2) Were Adam and Eve really naked in the Garden of Eden?? Come DS> see for yourself!! All will be revealed! DS> 3) For those of you who have children, and don't know it...we DS> have a nursery downstairs. How'd those little humans get in here?! DS> 4) All women wishing to become pregnant, please see the pastor in DS> his study. Confessional is too cramped! DS> 5) The pancake breakfast will be Saturday morning at 8am. All DS> women wishing to provide milk, please come early. I think it would be better if the pastor did.... DS> 6) We've had so many babies born in the church this past year, DS> that we'll have baptism at the front and back of the church. DS> Children will be baptized at both ends. That pastor has been busy! DS> 8) The women of the church are casting off clothing of every DS> kind. They can be seen in the Fellowship Hall Friday night at DS> 7pm. They're just following the fundamentals of Adam and Eve! DS> 10) This being Easter Sunday, we'll ask Mrs. Bee to come forward, DS> and lay an egg on the altar. Must have been a rural church and she didn't follow the signs to the pastor's office! (This one needs embellishing: think 'rooster'.) DS> 12) We will be replacing the carpeting in the sancutary soon. All DS> those wishing to do something on the carpet, please come forward DS> at the end of the service. Pastor's office is still occupied?! DS> 13) The popular Dunk Tank at our Fall Festival will be sponsored DS> by Waste Management. That clears things up! DS> 15) The preacher and his wife will visit places that no longer DS> exist. Hope they send post cards! DS> I attended a choir workshop weekend several years ago, and DS> these were used to "break the ice". It all depended on where your DS> mind was at the time...but overall, they were all "clean". Yeah: like the Clansman lady said about her husband: he was a wizard under the sheets. ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
