I must admit this is one of "ours," the cover of the prayer booklet for Covenant Week of Prayer (observed January 8-14). Maybe one of our first prayer requests should be for the gift of proofreading.The folks at the office of Church Growth and Evangelism apparently caught it sometime after printing the booklets, but before running the companion poster (featuring the same artwork but a more conventional spelling).
Our youth pastor, Mark Swanson, observed that "Shepard" is not flagged by the Microsoft spellchecker, thanks to American
astronaut Allan Shephard (thus the revision at right). What a wag! Too bad he went to North Park; we could have made a Theologiggler out of someone with his mutation.

Have you ever read the journals of Lewis & Clark--written before the days of standardized spelling? Our local paper ran a little excerpt each day from them in honor of the anniversary. It made me crazy to find a red pen at first. :-)
Anytime people remark on unconventional spelling in ye olden dayze, she responds with a "yeah - welcome to my world." Not because of her students so much as her 16th and 17th century research.
