Matthew 25Because that fell under "talk about timing", I figured I should look up the meaning (etymology) of the word cotton.34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Whoever elects to check that link will discover that the word is of "uncertain origin", thus perhaps "a corruption of another word."
Ahhh, d'oh... for this little story and its connection to the "least" of my brethren, I give you...
"Cotton"
Cotton... then surprised rescuers with his beautiful unique eyes.
