Sometimes there is no why ... and no because

especially when dealing with German grammar

Can you find the words?

From a text message making the rounds in Accra, Ghana:

"Rosa Parks sat down so that Martin Luther King could walk so that Jesse Jackson could stand so that Obama could run so that our children can fly."

Seven-year-old Ohene:

"Daddy, you mean since God created the world this is the first time that a black person has become president of America?"

Wow, indeed.

John Wesley's Rule

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.


[Attributed to John Wesley; but even if he didn't write it, it's a good place to start....]
