Going Forward?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The road to peace has lots of potholes and detours, but we can get there.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

There are divine wonders. There are “natural” wonders. There are human wonders. Conclusion: it’s a wonder-filled life.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“One grateful leper is worth a dozen dutiful disciples.”

[I wish He had said it.]

D. Blog: “Going forward”

One of my mini-rants: what a stupid speech element! It’s used by all manner of pundits, politicians and executives, of course, to indicate time progression. I liked this one: “Be assured that going forward, this road block will be cleared.” Just be careful. Going backward in time, that roadblock will be worse than you can imagine!


I.e., time can't go any direction other than forward.
