Together they watched the moon –
And in the days of confession what must the response be?

The only sensible thing to do –
So it was said, but in the days of separation what must one do?
A British author, Joseph Hart, expressed it in this way:

In life there are only two certainties: death and taxes.
So it was said, but in uncertain days an accountant might need some imagination.
It has often been said that GAAP (Generally accepted accounting principals) were introduced in order to ensure: certainty comparability correlation and correspondence

In the ancient world, it is said, and in some modern people groups, counting was 1, 2, 3, many (not note 1 2 many). It has since long been known that there are three kinds of accountants in the world. Those who can count, and those who can’t.

In days such as these
Some stress (if you please!)
Always abounding in bliss.
But I know what is
Enough of their ill
Lovely coffee will give a us thrill

When something would be bought reminds Coco of the OSSIE story from the DDR era:
A woman is walking down the street and sees a queue outside a shop. Without another thought she joins the queue and proceeds slowly, but effectively to the counter, whereupon, being faced with an empty counter and not being entirely sure what might be being sold in the shop, she asks for a 100g, or however much she would be allowed to purchase if less, of cheese. The counter assistant replies with as much deference and respect as in the circumstance she can muster: I am sorry, Madam, we have no cheese. We are a butcher’s, and we have nothing to sell today. The queue across the road is for the shop that cheese to sell has none.
Sinner is
Sinner is your heart oppressed
Sinner, is thy heart at rest?
Is thy bosom void of fear?
Art thou not by guilt oppressed?
Speaks not conscience in thine ear?
Can this world afford thee bliss?
Can it chase away thy gloom?
Flattering, false and vain it is;
Tremble at the worldling’s doom!
Think, O sinner, on thy end,
See the judgement day appear.
Thither must thy spirit wend,
There thy righteous sentence hear.
Wretched, ruin’d, helpless soul,
To a Saviour’s blood apply;
He alone can make thee whole,
Fly to Jesus, sinner fly!
