ReplyDeletePick up thee boxes less they obscure your store frontage.

ReplyDeleteBuck, it will be hard to beat your scripture reference.
ReplyDeleteBut, I'll go with "Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell." (Proverbs 23:13-14)
Daddy took that one to heart once when me and my older brother, and a couple of our buddies set the cedar shake roof on fire with errant bottle rockets.
As to the Assemblies of God folks selling fireworks to raise money. Well, I can tell you from experience, it beats the hell out of their chicken dinner fund raisers.

"And when the One spoke about the oil spewing forth, fire came from his nostrils as he sayeth, 'Ima lookin for somea ass to bust.' And people all over the land trembled with fear. But that sly BP rabbit, he just smileth. He thinketh, 'Ima just get me some fireworks and taken em up to DC and see whose ass gets kicked.'"
