A friend spotted this bumper sticker: “Pray for Trump. Psalm 109:8.” Being an alert attorney and law professor, she naturally checked the cite.
The verse is: “Let his days be few and another take his office.”

Today’s Quote
At the break of day I confront a pile of papers.
Dusk has come before I get away.
The beauty of the morning, the beauty of the afternoon
Pass while I sit chained to an office desk.
