Cristoph Heilig shared<\/a> an experience of embarrassingly saying \u201cshould\u201d when he meant \u201cshould not.\u201d We all know that it does happen, even those of us who don\u2019t think that the president<\/a> misspoke rather than later backtracking or doing damage control. Indeed, there is a famous Bible in which they accidentally left out the negation in the commandment prohibiting adultery<\/a>!<\/p>\n Heilig\u2019s post reminded me of an experience related to this, at least tangentially, in which can\u2019t became can. The first time I visited Romania, I was asked to preach in just about every church that I showed up in. I had been learning Romanian already but was not yet at the point at which I could preach in the language, so I used a translator. In one visit to a church, there was a friend with me who had been translating for me elsewhere. But this church said they have their own translator, and so my friend went and sat in the congregation.<\/p>\n As I preached, I could tell something was wrong. I would say a short phrase, and the translator would say something long as though not translating but commenting on what I said.<\/p>\n
