Today's Word – Wounded - Bruised
Pardon one another so that later on you will not remember the injury. The recollection of
an injury is . . . a rusty arrow and poison for the soul.
— St. Francis of Paola
If we really want ... to learn how to forgive, perhaps we had better start with something
easer than the Gestapo.
— C. S. Lewis
The only people ... who can be trusted with forgiveness are thoses who at the same time
acknowledge their solidity in sin with the forgiven. Otherwise, forgivingness, like
justice, is an instrument of opression.
— A. Boyce Gibson
Teach your children how to forgive, make your homes places of love and forgiveness; make
your streets and neighborhoods centers of peace and reconciliation.
— Pope John II
It is fitting for a great God to forgive great sinners.
— Talmud
We witness... by being a community of reconciliation, a forgiving community of the
forgiven.
— Bishop Desmond Tutu
I must practice unlimited forgiveness because, if I did not, I should be wanting in
veracity to myself, for it would be acting as if I myself were not guilty in the same way
as the other has been guilty towards me.
— Albert Schweitzer
Where is the foolish person who would think it in his power to commit more than God could
forgive.
– St. Francis de Sales
These two words are from Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are
healed.
Isaiah 53:5
The word used here for wounded is the Hebrew word: chalal {khaw-lal'} it
is found 131 Times in the Old Testament. Here it is translated as wounded. It is also translated as:
profane, pollute, defile, break, wounded, and slay. Used here it means:
to wound (fatally), bore through, pierce, bore
(Qal) to pierce
(Pual) to be slain
(Poel) to wound, pierce
The word used here for bruised is the Hebrew word: daka' {daw-kaw'} it is
found 18 Times in the Old Testament. Here it is translated as bruised. It is also translated as:
break, break in pieces, crush, bruise, destroy. Used here it means:
to crush, be crushed, be contrite, be broken
to be crushed
to be contrite (fig.)
(Piel) to crush
to be crushed, be shattered
(Hithpael) to allow oneself to be crushed
Isaiah 53:5 is the central verse of the
central chapter of Isaiah. It is also a verse that expresses the central truth of the
Bible. Christ was wounded ("thrust through" - as with great spikes) and bruised
("crushed to death") for our sins. What a great love He has shown us.
Definition from American Heritage Dictionary
COFFEE Avicenna, the Arabian philosopher and physician, is acredited with first recording the use of coffee as a beverage. Somewhere about 1000 AD he called the brew 'bunc.' This word for coffee is still used in Ethiopia today. For centuries coffee was used chiefly as a medicine. It was not until the 16th century that it was drank socially in Arabia and Persia. The earliest recorded coffee house was the'Kiva Han.' It opened in Constantinople in 1475. During the next century coffee houses were called: 'Mekteb-i-irfan' which means 'school of the cultured.' The practice of drinking coffee with milk and sugar was started by the owner of Vienna's Domgasse. This coffee house was opened by Franz Georg Kolshitsky in 1683. This polish adventurer was also responsble for originating the style of coffee known as 'Viennese.' Viennese coffee is strained to produce a clear liquid without grounds. In 1930 the Brazilian Institute of Coffee suggested that coffee beans be reduced to a soluble powder. The Nestle company of Vevey, Switzerland, took up the challenge. After eight years of research they produced the world's first instant coffee and called it Nescafe. Source: The New Shell Book of Firsts - Patrick Robertson

American Astronauts Just 4 Laughs!
GIVE ME WATER A man is crawling through the Sahara desert when he is approached by another man riding
on a camel. When the rider gets close enough, the crawling man whispers through his
sun-parched lips, "Water... please... can you give... water..." "I'm sorry," replies the man on the camel, "I don't have any water with me. But I'd be delighted to sell you a necktie." "Tie?" whispers the man. "I need *water*." "They're only four dollars apiece." The Witness Mrs. Jones TRUE FACT ... Humans begin laughing at two to three months of age.
