Franklin’s AUTOBIOGRAPHY is available for free on Hoopla through your local library (if they subscribe). It is a life-changing read. Factoids I recall:
1. He and his son arranged the wagons for the campaign between Bedford PA and Fort Ligonier to expel the French from Fort Duquesne, now Pittsburgh.
2. He learned this as a young man (from a book!) to preface opinions or convictions by saying “from my point of view,” or “as I understand” in discussions with otherws.
3. How he “franchised” print shops in the colonies by training a young printer and examining his character, then setting that printer up in business and sharing profits with him, and “I never had anything but an agreeable result with the several young men, as our business relationship was based on a very plain and detailed written contract understood and agreeable by both sides.”

In Solzhenitzyn’s masterpiece”THE FIRST CIRCLE,” there is a chapter “Please, Comrade Stalin, Give Us the Death Penalty.” (as I recall). Vladolf Putler will surely follow “The Boss’s” model and give his people what they beg. Already they are killing deserters from battles using “punishment troops,” often Chechens by the way. The Ukrainians have begun targeting these punishment troops.
The author evidently does not recognize the meaning of the name “Jesus,” or “Yeshua” in Hebrew.
The “Covenant Name” of “Yod Het’ Vav Het’” or “Jehovah” was given by Almighty God to Moses at the burning bush.
“Shua” is the Hebrew verb meaning “to rescue, to deliver, to save.”
“Yeshua” is a compound of JHVH in its short form “Yah” and the verb “shua.” Therefore, Jesus’ name literally and beautifully and powerfully means, “This One Is the Salvation Provided by Jehovah.”
A careful reading of I Corinthians 3 will show our beloved Jesus Christ to be the “master builder” (wise architect in Greek) on whom every effort and work must be built.
Sadly the Roman church has shifted its work off that foundation and continues to erect physical and spiritual edifices of an entirely different kind.
