I only have time for a very quick post. But today I was realizing how people who work at grocery stores always seem to tag "today" to the end of all their senteces.
-How are you today?
-Did you find everything you were looking for today?
-Paper or plastic for you today?
-Would you like help out today?
-How can I help you today?
Really, all of these sentences would work just fine without the today on the end. And do we really need to clarify? I'm sure that customers are not assuming that we're asking if they want paper bags for yesterday.

- St. Cyprian - "It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them." --and so am I.

A Great Promise
Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses...No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you many observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:3-9
