“If you are to use Alexander Graham Bellâ€™s product, which is to say the blower, you should, in all courtesy, use it as he would have wished; and Dr Bell insisted that all phone calls should begin with the words â€˜Ahoy, ahoyâ€™.

[There's an important difference between forgiving a person and tolerating their bad behavior.]”

Gen. 2:7; Jn. 20:22); we are filled, all of us, with His breath, and those who are capable of it, all those who open their mind's mouth wide enough, with His Holy Spirit.”
