I "alliterated" my points so you can remember them easier....
Translation..... I want you know how skilled I am at listening to God. God always uses "Alliteration" when He speaks to me....

You're not home yet
An old missionary couple had been working in Africa for years, and they were returning to New York City to retire. They discovered they were booked on the same ship as President Teddy Roosevelt, who was returning from one of his big-game hunting expeditions.
No one paid much attention to them. They watched the fanfare that accompanied the President’s entourage, with passengers trying to catch a glimpse of the great man.
When the ship docked in New York, a band was waiting to greet the President. The mayor and other dignitaries were there. The papers were full of the President’s arrival, but no one noticed this missionary couple. They slipped off the ship and found a cheap flat on the East side, hoping the next day to see what they could do to make a living in the city.
That night, the man’s spirit was broke, He asked God why no one was here to greet them when they got home.
God replies "You're not home yet"

Dear God,
I hate to correct you; however, it is "you're".....

Put your Bibles up, you won't be needing them and look right at me.
Or another version.
Close your Bibles and look right at me.

The way I've usually heard it the employer ask the driver to stay as close to the edge of the road as possible in order to prove themselves. When the guy who stays to the inside is hired the employer replies to the surprised daredevil "I never said which edge of the road."
