i hate to bother You again so soon but i have a special request- a favour of sorts.
i know Your book has been in circulation for a while now and i realize that recalling them all would be a major inconvenience but You would be doing me a major solid if You could make a little revision.
A kid hit me with a desk today. It wasn't a love tap or a slight nudge, that i could deal with, it was a violent and painful flinging- a drive by desking if you will.
Management generally frowns on corporal punishment but i can handle those repercussions. deportation's not that bad.
You on the other hand...not sure where You stand on this issue.
if i go by the old testament it is within my right to pummel him. however, the new testament says i should grin and bear another desking.
whether turning the other cheek is figurative or literal is unknown but You're pretty clear about loving your
Love is patient, love is kind... yada yada.
herein lies the problem. It would be really helpful if You took the patience bit out of the equation, cause frankly i have no patience left for these devilish children.
besides, according to the dictionary patience is:
pa-tience [pey-shuh-ns]
noun
1. the quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune or pain, without complain, loss of temper, irritation, or the like
.
.
6. obsolete
yes, obsolete.
taking that into consideration i think it's totally within reason to rethink this whole patience thing.
it may be a virtue, but patience is highly overrated.
as are children.

didn't Jesus say, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you?" i believe that child was doing unto you as he would have you do unto him. find him today and give him the desking he so deeply desires!
