Today the Flames announced that they have re-signed four veterans. Today is also the day I resigned from First Baptist Church. I had never thought that those two words were similar in spelling, yet completely opposite in meaning (the linguist in me wants to point out this is an example of antonymy). The difference is in the dash. It reminded me of that poem (often quoted at funerals) that talks about the two dates on a tomb stone being separated by a dash. The dash makes all the difference - it is where life is lived.
In a somewhat ironic twist I went to a funeral today for the man who was the head of human resources when I first started at First Baptist Church. I actually turned in my resignation before going into sanctuary for the funeral.
Ehkosit,
