We sure see a lot of new things taking place in these last days that we never heard or seen before... lots going on with government changes and happenings, elections around the world done totally differently from generations before, etc., ... I guess there are a lot of people "turning in their graves" as the saying goes.

But just recently I was thinking about that "novel" expression coined just a few weeks ago -- I'm sure most of you remember well -- "fight, fight, fight"...

We hear it quoted a lot by individuals and groups alike, and then some have added to it that it does not mean to fight physically but with our minds... 

So I came up with sort of an amalgamation of everybody's thoughts and put it into a little ode if you will:


Fight for Freedom

We fight on our knees,

our hands lifted up,

and communicate with

free speech and open debate...

For the Battle Belongs to God!

Is it girls and guys, or worse: girls and men???

So many people have a problem pairing the proper way to reference counterpart gender of male/female persons.

I heard the host of a popular international television program do that again this morning -- hence the reason for writing this noted bit... 

For example, when talking about men, they will say girls -- with an hesitant pause -- for the female counterpart.

Or they'll call out a group of women "guys" and not, as it should be, "gals".

Would anyone call out a group of males "Hey Gals?"

So what is the problem... I can't understand this... it's not that hard to know how to pair the two gender nouns:

-- if you speak of a man, then the equivalent in the other gender is "a woman"
(not a man and a girl)

-- if you speak of a boy, then the equivalent in the other gender is "a girl"

-- if you speak of a gentleman, then the equivalent in the other gender is "a lady"
(you don't say a gentleman and a woman)

Simple:

man translates into "woman" for the other gender

boy translates into "girl"...

gentleman translates into "lady"...

guy translates into gal...

Description:

Girl = "a common noun for a young female human, usually a child or adolescent. A child whose gender identity is female. A female child from birth to adulthood, a ten-year-old girl."  

Boy = "a common noun for a young man human, usually a child or adolescent. A child whose gender identity is male. A male child from birth to adulthood, a ten-year-old boy." 

Woman = an adult female human being...

Man = an adult male human being...

gal = informal common noun referring to a girl or a woman..

guy = informal common noun referring to a boy or a man..

I recently heard someone refer to one of the divisions among believers being the issue of “predestination”. My immediate thought was, yes, we are ALL predestined for Redemption. God made the way for us to be saved from the sinful nature inherited by the first parent. But we need to receive it individually through the unselfish works of Jesus Christ.
