Football confuses me, as the USA version of football is what I think of as
Rugby.
But I think you call soccer what we call football.
But soca in the UK means the serious organised crime agency (division of the police).
What you call baseball, we call rounders (a girls game in the UK)
and basketball is what we call netball.
a basket case is slang for someone who has lost their marbles (mind) in the UK.
but marbles is also a kids game!
with that I think I have just lost my marbles.
Oh and to anyone not feeling well:-
Isaiah 35:1-10 NKJV
[1] The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, And the desert
shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; [2] It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice,
Even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, The excellence
of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the LORD, The excellency
of our God. [3] Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees.
[4] Say to those who are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God
will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you."
[5] Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be
unstopped. [6] Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb
sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert.
[7] The parched ground shall become a pool, And the thirsty land springs of water;
In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
[8] A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of
Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever
walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray. [9] No lion shall be there,
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the
redeemed shall walk there, [10] And the ransomed of the LORD shall return,
And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall
obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Amen
