weird to call them a "pair" of "pants" (plural) - "put on my pants" "need a new pair of pants"
do people with one leg (or with an odd sense of style) say, "put on my pant" ... "need a new pant"
but then we say "pant legs" as if it's one thing with two legs
I need to move on
A suggestion for Bible-readers:
Get a Bible with maps. Whenever you read a place name, flip to the back and find it. It's especially fun when reading Acts. Relate Paul's Epistles back to the record of his missionary journeys in Acts.
It's important to remember these are not "timeless stories," but *happened*--"at a particular time, in a particular place." It's theology based on a revealed interpretation of a very "grounded" history.
When you read, "then they walked to Bethlehem," relate that to a local town: "this would be like walking from Portland (ME) to Portsmouth (NH)--so not a short journey. They were tired."
Got a nice big 'hot potato' question in adult Sunday School this morning about "all this Zionist stuff' and I was glad to answer it clearly and concisely. All that reading last year is paying off. Still a few more on the list.
