I understand...you're childhood was difficult and your library didn't carry the book. It's not too late to read it now.
This must be one of the million and one reasons why Lynx is so ornery. 😚😁🤪

I cast my vote for Cat in the Hat.

But you have to know how.”

Kinda, but it wasn't meant so much to teach reading as to get children to enjoy reading.
Reading is best enjoyed when one can actually do it...

Which, co-incidentally, brings us full circle to the KJV!

Read???? You can read? I just looked at the pictures. Wait, are you telling me these books actually say something?

I can write a story...Go, Lynx, Go.
Verily, good sir, dost thou seek counsel, or perchance a tale to lighten thy
spirits? Prithee, share thy thoughts, and I shall endeavor to respond in kind.

A story about a cat laying around all day and acting better than dogs is cliche. I might have to change the title to...Sleep, Lynx, Sleep.

Sorry...Goeth, Cur, Goeth.
Dost thou now stoop to base insults, to name me a cur? My words are meant to bring
thee joy and enlightenment, not offense. Prithee, forgive any misunderstanding.

You had me at prithee. And cur was just in the Elizabethan title, and not directed towards you.

Aye, aye, thou speakest thus to soothe, yet we know what lies within thy heart,
for thou art a noble and kind sir, prone to insult only within the realm of politics.

Does your KJV have pictures? Do you have the one where the great fish that swallowed Jonah is a sperm whale? It's very realistic as he is warming himself by a fire after having been swallowed.

But in all seriouness for just a second..

The church does NOT have authority over the scriptures....

The scriptures have authority over the Church.
Hopefully we can agree to this.

So the resulting logic is that we do not concern ourselves with the plans God has for us on an individual basis....

We concern ourselves with what God's plans are and conform ourselves to those plans.

And it's very very apparent that God had deemed that new modern translations were to exist and be prolific. They have been coming along steadily now for 500+ years without relenting.

Has anyone read?....


Clippety Clop! Yertle Can't Stop!
It begins with...​
Clippety ... Clippety.​
Clippety, clop!​
Remember that one?​
