Parson Ray -

A brief history/etymology about the word "right" :-) We strive to be 'right' not wrong in our daily decision making activities. The Holy Writ speaks with affirmation about the the saving power of God's Righteousness, not lefteousness. Joshua was Moses' 'right-hand' man. It is customary to bestow the title of 'Right' Reverend to high- ranking ecclesiastical officials. 'Right' angles, not left angles form the foundation of analytic geometry. Traffic rules permit automobile owners to make a 'right' turn on red. 'Rightin' is one of the basic 3 Rs. Thanks for the note but I must insist to all that our Milwaukee pastor is an unpaid member of the Shaft Fan Club. Or as Issac Hayes would say, 'Right' On, Brother! QED
