This guy was taking an English class and one assignment       was to collect a certain number of grammatical errors he heard people make.       Now       you have to understand that we have no professional clergy, regular members are       asked to speak in church, usually different people each week. Well, one speaker       started his sermon and our English student thought he would get his entire       quota right there, the guy just butchered the language. Result: he did not       record a single error from that talk. The speaker spoke by the power of the       Holy       Ghost to the point that our student could pay attention to nothing but the       message and the feeling of the Spirit.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
