ModernSophist, Good catch--and helpful post over at your blog. Usage is such a cultural thing: I didn't even consider the nifty guy out on the town.(Just to be clear, The post title referring to ducking responsibility not being a nifty guy out on the town.)-AKA Tangentrider
According to my six year old friend, "Grace is something we get that we don't deserve, like an amazing present." I think that it is undeserved, but it should not be taken for granted...
"it should not be taken for granted."Well put. We dare not treat grace like a get out of jail free card and "play the game" without wisdom and responsibility.As a sidenote: I love 6-year-old wisdom. :-)
