I read the bible about once every 20 years, so please take my
bible references with a grain of salt. Attempting to quote
the bible is something I rarely do.
I don't have a
bible in front of me. Based on memory, a typical
bible story goes something like this:
And it came to pass, that the waters flooded the earth...
And it came to pass that locusts swarmed the lands...
IN line with that, a present day
bible story might read something like this:
And it came to pass that a great financial hardship spread across the land....
The common denominator in all of these stories are
the words...AND IT
CAME TO PASS.
Nowhere in my admittedly limited biblical familiarity have I ever encountered a story with
the words...
And it came as a permanent condition....
Remember folks....
THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
