  • 2 Corinthians 9 - 6: "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously."
  • Spring/Neap: When the sea's tides' range is at its maximum it is called the "spring tide", or just "springs" and is derived not from the season of spring but rather from the German verb springen, meaning "to leap up". When the Moon is at first quarter or third quarter, the sun and moon are at 90° to each other and the forces due to the Sun partially cancel out those of the Moon. At these points in the Lunar cycle, the tide's range is at its minimum: this is called the "neap tide", or "neaps". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neap
