ENTHUSIASM AND GRAMMAR
There is a good reason that the writings of St. Paul don’t show up as examples in grammar textbooks. Today’s reading is a case in point. It begins with one of those long Pauline run on sentences that leave lectors gasping for breath. So what? Take a closer look at how Paul’s fervor for his subject matter derails the grammar. There is something admirable about being so caught up in his convictions that the words cannot come fast enough to express them, much less in an orderly fashion. Scripture scholars usually take this grammatical ineptness as a sign of a passage’s early importance in the Christian community, something they were so ardent about that their language never got refined.
What leaves us in this condition? Re-telling the plot line of an action movie or the play-by-play of a sporting event? When was the last time any of us was so excited by our faith in Christ that we were left grasping for words, stumbling over our own errors in speech? It may be bad grammar, but it is an excellent way to inspire others with the message of Christ!

Fatherhood Is God's Idea
Thanks be unto God the Father for His great work in creating man. God decided to reproduce Himself, So He formed man with His hand. God crowned man with His glory and gave him dominion over the earth. He made man a little lower than the angels and honored him with great worth. God endowed man with wisdom so great things he would be able to do. He made him in the likeness of Himself so man could become a father too. Creating man was God's best work. He gave him authority and great might to provide for the needs of his family and courage to face the darkest night. We honor God for His creation and for making man His masterpiece. He is to be an extension of Christ Jesus so God's kingdom work will not cease. So we salute fatherhood everywhere. It is the highest position in the land. It's no greater honor than being called dad and no greater foundation on which to stand. By Lenora McWhorter
