That’s all I can tell you right now. Check back later today, or tonight, (or possibly tomorrow) and this will all make much more sense. But I can assure you, that it is BonaFide.
Until then, please enjoy this very short video clip.
Have a great day!
Of all the web sites dedicated to, about, or that owe their inception to, George Clooney, this one must make him the most proud.
Oh, wait! Now I just got an email from my Bishop about the Priesthood session being online and TV! But how does that fit with “bona fide”…? Hmm… I wasn’t waiting with bated breath before, but now that I’ve hazarded two guesses, I want to know!
My favorite Clooney line is this:
“You’re a liar and a thief.”
Clooney: “I only lied about being a thief.”
So, I read this and was wondering what was up, then I got my mail- The Ensign. Started reading it, got to a talk called “Act Well Your Part” and than wondered if this upcoming post relates back to the “MMM Gets Called Out” post…
(Not that it will make one bit of difference if I know your name.)
“Bona fide” is actually a Latin phrase (two words), and literally means “good faith.” It is in the ablative case, so it should probably be understand as meaning “with good faith,” “by good faith” or perhaps “in good faith.”
Hence, a person who has acted bona fide is someone who has acted in good faith. A person who is bona fide is someone with good faith. I could go on, but I think you get the point.
Habe bonum diem! (Have a good day!)
I’m as happy as a little Warvey gal!
