Micah 6:8
Psalm 8:3-4 Matthew 24:29-30
Yes, your life matters.
Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Grammar Rant: When did we stop capitalizing proper nouns? OK, that's a bit of hyperbole, we still capitalize most of them (Paris, London, George, Elizabeth, etc.), but when did Earth get demoted to earth? Is it due to spell checkers and the fact that earth can also mean soil or dirt? I can't imagine someone writing of sending a spaceship to mars rather than to Mars, can you? Why then do I see things like 'his time on earth was brief,' or 'when I came down to earth I realized everything would be just fine' all the time?
Please pay attention to which word you're using - Earth the planet or earth the dirt - and capitalize appropriately. The high blood pressure you prevent may be mine.
Thank you.
Friday Fun Fact: Did you know that the planet Uranus was originally named George (or Georgium Sidus), after King George III? How appropriate that the original name of Uranus was that of an English king, just as was the name given to toilets. (see Robin Hood, Men in Tights for that historical tidbit)
Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
