Greetings, Salutations and Felicitations! Hmmmmm........ Felicitations. Brother. There's one of those archaic words you just don't hear being used anymore. The word originally began its usage meaning "congratulations" but evolved into a word for rejoicing, best compliments and -- generally -- verbal bouquets.
Howdee! Thought I was going to get today's Coffee Break out in the last couple of days, but Embarq has been having some server issues during the past week or so, and yesterday someone cut a fiber optic cable near the Columbia River, and that shut us down for nearly 24 hours.
G'Mornin'! Just printed out a copy of Kingdom Economics XXII this morning and realized that I was a bit windier than normal (!). I usually print out my Coffee Breaks the day they are written and posted, but our printer was down, and we were waiting for the Xerox guy to get here. Anyway, the extra length in XXII made up for the shortness of XX.
Howdy! Did you have a great Easter? It was a wonderful celebration of our redemption. As I noted before, I much prefer to refer to the day as Resurrection Day. That's the day that Jesus rose from the dead and demonstrated his absolute supremacy over death, disease and decay.
Even if I'm a bit early, Happy Easter, Everyone! Maybe I should better say, Happy Resurrection Day! Sound better? Yup. I like that better, anyway.
Greetings to you, Oh Great, Wise, and Illustrious Ones! When's the last time you had a Good Morning greeting like that! Yeah, Yeah. OK Michael, Robert, Lynn the rest of you smart alec who heard it before! No wisecracks from the peanut gallery.
Good Morning! It's another best day of your life, don't you know? Yup. Yesterday's gone, and tomorrow's not here yet; and God has great things in store for this day. So get ready. Gotcher coffee, yet? So, whaddaya waitin' fer?
Well, Super Tuesday is behind us and there's been a whole lot of fallout from the various primaries, including the fact that we are -- for all intents and purposes -- down to four candidates -- two from each of the dominant political parties. It wasn't my objective to continue this topic, but several emails and responses from our readership have suggested that I might need to clarify some of the things I said.
