God asked Jonah: Do you have a right to be angry about the castor-oil plant?
Jonah 4:9

You learn new things everyday. In the KJV this plant is a "gourd". In fact English Wikipedia has a whole page on this one word in Hebrew, which I give in the title. In it, St Jerome discusses the difficulty of translation.
Although such things are interesting, it is easy to get sidetracked and miss the wood for the trees. God asks us today: Do you have a right to be angry about....? (Whatever it is). Problems recharging this phone have me swearing the most these days.☹️ 😬🤐😟

They trust bent lawyers & porn stars if they talk smack about people they hate, but they don’t trust saints, apostles & Holy Mother Church when it tells them about Jesus, the Best Man of All. Seriously, 😳 how bad a judge of character is your average Dem voter?  But it’s not just left wingers. Why would you trust someone on the internet or on TV, or who writes for a newspaper or magazine, or someone you happen to have a blood relationship with, or someone you went to school with, more than God’s Holy Words in the Bible?
