Greg

I ordered the "Expositor's Greek Testament" 'online'

I do not think my charge card was burdened with the price
of it and certainly hope not because I never got the set.

The problem is that I do not personally check my charges
and my wife often simply pays without question - not a real
testimony to good book keeping.

Christ Himself told His disciples to gather up the fragments
(when feeding the 5000) that nothing be lost!

That in itself is a lesson - and forgive me for over explaining
but it is quite queer that He who could call into existence
anything by a word
would still maintain an attitude of frugality and thankfulness.

My Grandmother always maintained an attitude summitted
by this saying - "Waste not Want Not !!"

I could tell you stories that would likely bore you
but quite honestly bring tears to my eyes about her feeding
both her children and strangers without eating herself.

My dad told me that the kids would ask - "Are you not eating mama"
She would reply "I ate already" - a righteous and loveable lie.

My grandmother (she lived to be 96) hated the term "kids"

Sorry for the verbal diahherra

In any case - I did not get the works that I ordered.

I intend to attempt once again to order them locally
and forget about the internet thingy - cause that did not werk...
(spelly error intentional for the shallow minded)

Take it a little easier on James my friend

Remember above all this

If we have not Love

we are nothing

May Christ Himself give you the Grace to see that Grace is Grace
and nothing else will hold any lasting value.

I do intend to get that set so I am asking your forbearance
in that I sincerely think that the comment contained there are significant
concerning our ongoing debate.

One last little secret to share with you Greg
( you are not really worth it - *but* - none of US are so I continue)

Foolishly thinking you will someday appreciate it....

Brian
