Awww , you remembered! I am impressed :D:giggle::D Thank you so much :)

I felt like I was coming down with something yesterday :oops: But I think I dodged that bullet :unsure::geek:

The most excitement I had yesterday was trying to retrieve the pizza my daughter ordered for me o_O

The delivery guy did not contact me through my front door and then left the pizza sitting outside :rolleyes:

Anyone could have stolen it by the time my daughter alerted me to the
fact that he had let my daughter know he was here and could not wait :cry:

I had to go down and pick it up from a flower planter :LOL:

It was still yummy :D

I hope your dad had a happy birthday, also!

John 1:12 is one of my favorite verses...

If you look closer at it...
You can see that it's written in past tense. And it's done so because of tradition set up by the first English translators of the scriptures.

And in the Greek and Latin it's done in what is dubbed the perfect aortist tense. (Nominative too)

And that's a lot of gobbledegook for past, present, and future tense all three at the same time...a tense we don't have in the English language.

And it's proof that as strongly I feel about protecting and caring about my son...God the Father is moreso about me. I'm not an idiot about what my son wants and desires... some of those things he wants aren't good. But he's a good kid. And I help him all I can.
