The Fifth Commandment

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. -Exodus 20:12 (KJV) Instead of blogging about the fifth commandment, I should probably be apologizing to my mother. Maybe you're in the same rut: instead of reading my blog about
