Rodent Removal Day....
In this crazy political season I decided a little religion might be appropriate so here is a short Bible study.
Remember what Jesus said: ‘Goats on the left, sheep on the right’ (Matthew 25:33).
Jesus also told Peter that if he wanted to catch fish do it from the right side of the boat. They did and filled the boat with fish.
John 21:6 (NIV) ... He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.”
Origin of Left & Right...I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the right” and Liberals are called the “left”.
By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible: Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) - “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.
It surely can’t get any simpler than that.

End of lesson! ...Test to follow on November 6, 2018.
Remember, November 2018 is to be set aside as rodent removal month.
Ha! That’s GREAT! Love the spelling lesson! (Did you come up with that? VERY clever in any case!)
As for the Left vs Right origin, I thought that it had to do with the French Revolution, and how the various parties arrayed themselves in relation to the King at the National Convention. The less radical revolutionists, the Girondistes, who were more sympathetic than their opponents to the Royalist cause, arrayed themselves to his right, as is traditionally done for guests of honour. The Montagnards, who later evolved into the very radical Jacobin faction, arrayed themselves to the King’s left. (If one accepts that, it is very, VERY accurate as the Left today DOES closely resemble the Jacobins!
That said, now that I have heard it from you, I accept the Bible as the REAL source!
