Bible Note: In Frost's poem, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" (not one of his best, by the way) from which you quote a line that appears in the fourth stanza, viz. "And miles to go before I sleep," there is a line that precedes it which says, "But I have promises to keep." Don't we all of us, those who use and contribute to Study Bible Forum, have promises to keep? We have promises to keep, and those promises consist of taking seriously the guidelines that the Lockman Foundation has laid down for each of us as we post to this Forum, and to which each of us agrees every single time he enters a post. If we will make it our business to keep those guidelines uppermost in mind and refresh our minds from time to time of the aims and purposes of SBf, we will incur far less unfavorable feedback from our peers. On the positive side, just perhaps we can be a pinch of salt and a glimmer of light to some soul who needs help and guidance. This is a sola scriptura Forum. It is wise to keep that in mind also. --Hank |
