i finished my most recent cover-to-cover of the BoM today. funny thing about that is that then it's just time to start again.
sometimes family scripture study is fun... this one time we were joking about how maybe we should change things up a bit and read cover to cover, but from the back. this seemed like a good idea, just read the chapters in reverse order. would still mostly make sense that way. but my dad went to the back and starting with the last word...(see the title of this post as an example :)
the quick and the dead...always makes me think of the movie...gunfighting...even though i know "quick" just means quickened by the spirit, or alive. funny how words mean different things like that.
similarly, people often confuse quick with fast. these aren't necessarily synonomous though. generally "quick" deals with rate of acceleration, and "fast" deals with speed. por ejemplo: cars. a car with a lot of horsepower generally is very fast, and a car with a lot of torque is generally very quick. sportscars usually have plenty of both. however, something like, oh, say, a scooter? will generally be rather quick, because it's so light, but not necessarily fast. might beat a car off the line, but once you get on the road it might be eating dust...
