Someone sent an email to me and several others recently about thank you cards that was supposed to say, "Hand written," however, it read, "Hans written". Now, this, of course, received the reply, "Who's Hans?" I thought I would help the fellow out and emailed everyone that Hans was a Dutch font that was very regal. The person that had made the original typo thanked me for coming to his rescue but he included another typo, "Hade" instead of have, and I couldn't stop there.
I, first, replied all that "It was no big deal. And after further research, I had discovered that not only was Hans a regal, Dutch font but it was exclusively reserved for thank you cards." I wasn't going to comment on the additional "Hade" typo but someone else jumped all over it. His question was, "Who is Hade? Is he kin to Hans? Twins maybe?" It's important that you check your emails for typos, especially when you are emailing this group of individuals.
Thinking about watching what we say, today's word is Matthew 5:37, ESV, which reads, "Let what you say be simply, "Yes," or "No"; anything more than this comes from evil."
It is when we try to explain ourselves that we often find ourselves digging a deeper hole. It is best if we just answer the question asked, without trying to expound. Sort of like typos - if you let one get out, don't follow it up with another.
So, let's finish the story. After the typoist was asked if Hans and Hade were twins, I replied that indeed they were. They are the product of the union between Bad Ayes and Otto Korech. It's important to make sure we say what needs to be said, and stop there.
Be Blessed,
