926) Remember when you were a kid, if you crossed your fingers, it somehow gave you a free pass to say something that was not true? I have done some reading on this practice’s origin and have found conflicting information. The bottom line is, we all have a sense that our words are important. They communicate with others what’s essential to us as well as what are views on life are.

If you want to know what God thinks, listen to Jesus.
