Of course, the hired man died before he knew that he had been forgiven by Mary's husband.<br /><br />At least, the hired man didn't die out in the cold.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-90777711053517450392020-04-19T21:36:56.923-05:002020-04-19T21:36:56.923-05:00Well, does the hired man receive grace or not?Well, does the hired man receive grace or not?Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-69448828254865290562020-04-19T05:17:28.675-05:002020-04-19T05:17:28.675-05:00Ed,

Check...Ed,<br />King doesn't want trouble, I guess.<br /><br />Check out his novel <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_(King_novel)" rel="nofollow"><i>Rage</i></a>:<br /><br /><i>Charlie Decker, a Maine high school senior, is called to a meeting with his principal about a previous incident in which he struck his chemistry teacher with a pipe wrench, leading to the teacher's hospitalization and Charlie's suspension. Charlie then subjects the principal to a series of insulting remarks, resulting in his expulsion. Charlie storms out of the office and retrieves a pistol from his locker, then sets the contents of his locker on fire. He then returns to his classroom and fatally shoots his algebra teacher, Miss Jean Underwood. The fire triggers an alarm, but Charlie forces his classmates to stay in the room, killing a history teacher, Mr. Peter Vance, when he attempts to enter. As the other students and teachers evacuate the school, the police and media arrive at the scene....<br /><br />[...]<br /><br /><b>The novel's plot vaguely resembles actual events that have transpired since the book's publication, to such a degree that the author is no longer comfortable with the book's being in print for fear that it may inspire similar occurrences ("[Rage is] now out of print." as it had already been associated with incidents of high school shootings and hostage takings...</b></i>Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-825402315057290122020-04-18T11:16:50.518-05:002020-04-18T11:16:50.518-05:00Good grief!

It’s not anywhere near as serious. It’s eminently survivable. Keep calm and take all reasonable precautions."<br />To which somebody replied:<br />"C'mon!
