Getting Serious

It's one thing to take the Bible seriously; it's quite another matter entirely to take yourself seriously!!! --- original quotes from Marie Byars
      
    My other blog delves into Christianity quite a bit more than this blog does.  However, an integrated life means things are not going to fall into neat little categories.
    My other blog has my original translation of part of Philippians 2. This Biblical section is one of the rare poetic sections of the New Testament.  (There is much more poetry in the Old Testament, not just because it's longer, but because of the various styles used.)  This Biblical section discusses the humility Christians are called to live by.

Anglo/American Humor


Q: When do the Brits celebrate Thanksgiving Day?
A: On the Fourth of July.

Q: How do Aussies get a purse away from a crocodile?
A: Give it a "Yank."

     Considering we pulled their bacon out of the fire in two World Wars & still have far better cuisine, I think we "Yanks" have the last laugh!  
     This blog has been trying to track down the origins of quotes and witty sayings.  This little joke is not easy to find the origins of.
