Year of the Bible
By spending 5 min
utes a day reading the
Bible, the New
Testament can be
completed in a year.
The following is from
the Contemporary
English Version from
The American Bible Society
made available by Don Voss of
Cumming.
Salt and Light
(Mark 9.50; Luke 14.34, 35)
” You are like salt for every
one on earth. But if salt no
longer tastes like salt, how can
it make food salty? All it is
good for is to be thrown out and
walked on.
14 You are like light for the
whole world. A city built on top
of a hill cannot be hidden, 15 and
no one would light a lamp and
put it under a clay pot. A lamp
is placed on a lampstand, where
it can give light to everyone in
the house. 14 Make your light
shine, so that others will see the
good that you do and will praise
your Father in heaven.
The Law of Moses
’’Don’t suppose that I came to
do away with the Law and the
Prophets. I did not come to do
away with them, but to give
them their full meaning. ’’
Heaven and earth may disap
pear. But I promise you that not
even a period or comma will
ever disappear from the Law.
Everything written in it must
happen.
’* If you reject even the least
important command in the Law
and teach others to do the same,
you will be the least important
person in the kingdom of heav
en. But if you obey and teach
others its commands, you will
have an important place in the
kingdom. ” You must obey
God’s commands better than the
Pharisees and the teachers of the
Law obey them. If you don’t, I
promise you that you will never
get into the kingdom of heaven.
Anger
” You know that our ancestors
were told, “Do not murder" and
“A murderer must be brought to
trial.” “But I promise you that if
you are angry with someone,
you will have to stand trial. If
,you call someone a fool, you
will be taken to court. And if
you say that someone is worth
less, you will be in danger of
the fires of hell.
“So if you are about to place
your gift on the altar and
remember that someone is angry
with you, 14 leave your gift there
in front of the altar. Make peace
with that person, then come
back and offer your gift to God.
“Before you are dragged into
court, make friends with the
person who has accused you of
doing wrong. If you don’t, you
will be handed over to the judge
and then to the officer who will
put you in jail. “I promise you
that you will not get out until
you have paid the last cent you
owe.
Marriage
- ’’You know the commandment
which says, “Be faithful in mar
riage.” “ But I tell you that if
is better to lose one part of your
body, than for your whole body
to end up in hell. 30 If your right
hand causes you to sin, chop it
off and throw it away! It is bet
ter to lose one part of your
body, than for your whole body
to be thrown into hell.
Divorce
(Matthew 19.9; Mark
10.11,12; Luke 16.18)
” You have been taught that a
man who divorces his wife must
write out divorce papers for her.
’’But I tell you not to divorce
ydur wife unless she has com
mitted some terrible sexual sin.
If you divorce her, you will
cause her to be unfaithful, just
as any man who marries her is
guilty of taking another man’s
wife.
Promises
” You know that our ancestors
were told, “Don’t use the Lord’s
name to make a promise unless
you are going to keep it.” 34 But
I tell you not to swear by any
thing when you make a
promise! Heaven is God’s
throne, so don’t swear by heav
en. 35 The earth is God’s foot
stool, so don’t swear by the
earth. Jerusalem is the city of
the great king, so don’t swear
by it. 56 Don’t swear by your
own head. You cannot make one
hair white or black. ” When you
make a promise, say only “Yes”
or “No.” Anything else comes
from the devil.
Revenge
(Luke 6.29, 30)
” You know that you have been
taught, “An eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth.” ’’But 1 tell
you not to try to get even with a
person who has done something
to you. When someone slaps
your right cheek, turn and let
that person slap your other
cheek. 40 If someone sues you for
your shirt, give up your coat as
well. 41 If a soldier forces you to
carry his pack one mile, carry it
two miles. 42 When people ask
you for something, give it to
them. When they want to bor
row money, lend it to them.
Love
(Luke 6.27,28,32-36)
45 You have heard people say,
“Love your neighbors and hate
your enemies.” 44 But I tell you
to love your enemies and pray
for anyone who mistreats you. 45
Then you will be acting like
your Father in heaven. He
makes the sun rise on both good
and bad people. And he sends
rain for the ones who do right
and for the ones who do wrong.
* If you love only those people
who love you, will God reward
you for that? Even tax collectors
love their friends; 47 If you greet
only your friends, what’s so
great about that? Don’t even
unbelievers do that? 44 But you
must always act like your Father
in heaven.
you look at another
woman and want
her, you are already
unfaithful in your
thoughts. 29 If your
right eye causes you
to sin, poke it out
and throw it away. It

Plant by any other name may be different
A plant by any other name
might be the wrong plant! The
last few days around here have
been absolutely frigid and the
last thing on most people’s
mind is getting out and planting
things. But, as always, spring
will sneak up on us and the gar
dening bug will bite.
Local garden centers will be
filled with people looking for
particular plants to jazz up their
landscape. So while you may
still be planning what you will
go shopping for, let’s take just a
minute to talk about the “sim
ple” matter of plant names. This
way you won’t be surprised
when the 2-foot high Holly
“bush” you bought, turns out to
be a 20-foot Holly “tree.”
The everyday names we give
plants can be very confusing.
They are easy to remember,
pronounce and use in regular
conversation. However, the
“common” name you use for a
given plant may be different
than the “common” name used
by the person at the nursery that
you are buying it from, espe
cially if it is in a different geo
graphic region.
To make the naming of plants
more precise and universal, sci
entists and plant professionals
use an international system.
Known as the “International
Code of Botanical
Nomenclature,” the code is
based on a two-name system

designed in the 1700 s. Each
plant species is given a unique
Latin first and last name. This
name is used for that plant
worldwide, no matter what the
native language.
Plants are grouped into fami
lies based on their reproductive
parts. A botanical family of
plants shares certain traits such
as foliage and flower form.

Learning the
right name is the
only sure way
to find it in the
marketplace.
For example, plants in the car
rot family bear flowers in
umbrella-like clusters and have
oil glands in the foliage. The
family includes Carrot, Queen
Anne’s lace, Parsley, Coriander,
Cumin, Celery, and Parsnip
(these are all common names).
Plants are further grouped by
even more similar traits. The
first part of a botanical name is
the genus.
Let's take an example. Within
the rose family are Prunus (the
group we commonly call stone
fruits), Rubus (bramble-type
berries) and Rosa (the garden
roses).

name is the species. Botanical
names are always italicized or
underlined with only the Genus
capitalized. Common names
are not italicized or underlined,
but all parts are capitalized.
Let’s look at another example,
specifically a Sugar Maple. We
call it a Sugar Maple, but ask
someone in Russia for a Sugar
Maple and they might think you
are crazy.
However, the common name
Maple refers to an entire genus
of plants known botanically as
Acer. More specifically a Sugar
Maple is a species of Acer
known as saccharum. So the
commonly known Sugar Maple
is botanically known as Acer
saccharum. This applies from
Germany to France to Russia to
China.
In nature, sometimes a species
in unique growing conditions
might produce a variant that
then reproduces itself.
For instance, the species we
call peach, Prunus persica, nor
mally produces a fuzzy fruit.
At some point, peach trees pro
duced a few offspring trees
whose fruit had smooth skin.
Botanists call this a “variety” of
the normal species. We com
monly call this smooth-skinned
peach a nectarine. But botani
cally it’s known as Prunus per
sica variety nucipersica or
Prunus persica var. nucipersica.

Geer .-
cultural plants are often pro
duced by means of cultivation
techniques, hybridization or
even by encouraging mutations.
This new plant is called a “cQI-“
tivar” meaning cultivated vari
ety.
Consider the fact that breeders
develop many hybrid tomatoes
to improve flavor, shipping
quality and disease resistance or
just to make a smaller plant.
The botanical name for a Patio
Tomato is Lycopersicon escu
lentum cultivar Patio or
Lycopersicon esculentum
‘Patio’.
It may seem hard to use these
names, but try to at least know
how to find a reference to them.
It can be vital when you’re try
ing to buy new plants. The plant
“professionals” aren’t trying to
confuse you or be plant snobs,
it’s just the best way to keep
misunderstandings out of the
picture. If you admire a plant
you just can’t be without in
your garden, learning the right
name is the only sure way to
find it in the marketplace.
