GASP! He’s a Christian, he shouldn’t be swearing. What about his witness to other people? You’re right. I’d rather not swear, but if you’re quoting someone, you’ve got to get it right. Here’s another one about the lady we call Mrs. Heckles, who is our downstairs neighbour who is very…
Gene and I have discovered that our downstairs neighbour doesn’t like us very much lately. Every day, for no reason at all she will bang on her ceiling with a broom. As far as we know, we are not making too much noise, but it’s hard to know for sure. …
