Raised for Me (3 of 3)

Luke 24:13-34
I spend a large portion of every week reading and writing, so words interest me a great deal.
Every year I look forward to reading the list of official new words that have been added to the English dictionary.

If anyone complains you can say, ''It's fine. I disconfected it''.
Blamestorming: This is gonna come in handy for you leaders and managers out there. Instead of brainstorming, do some blamestorming. Sitting in a group and discussing who's responsible for the company's problems, rather than trying to solve them. Some of you are thinking, ''Now that's something I can do because finger pointing is my spiritual gift.'' Hahaha! One more...
