Reminds me of Doric (a dialect similar to English which people still speak in the rural communities here in Northern Scotland). A word of advice from personal experience: Don't use the words "slang" or "bad English" when trying to describe the language to someone who actually speaks it. Thy don tak a likin' to it!

I was blessed by this reminder of the Father's love for his Son...I think hearing it in slightly different words has a huge impact on me. Thank you, Todd.
