Some people have expressed their desire to be able to read the sermons that I preach at Hodge Presbyterian Church in Trenton, MO. I am happy to do so but feel the need to make a qualifing statment on the grammar and style of my writing a sermon. Especially when it comes to things like sentence structure, run on sentences and the use of certian punctuation marks.
When I write a sermon, I am not writing them for anyone to read (other than myself). Because some have asked, I am willing to post them as they are; but I do not have the time to rewrite them to any level of grammar perfection. So if you chose to read them, please read them with this in mind.

I think you covered the subject of grammar and punctuation and even spelling quite well.
Question: Do you think it would have helped if you had presented this explanation to the teacher of your English class in high school? LOL
Ladies and gentleman, my Mother! Hello Mom! The answer to your question is: no, I do not think it would have helped.
