Summary

This quote is a playful play on words, highlighting the contrast in meaning between 'pro' and 'con'. It suggests that if 'pro' is opposite to 'con', then the opposite of 'progress ' should have a word similar to 'congress'. The quote cleverly points out the lack of a direct opposite for 'progress', as 'regress' is commonly used in English, but it does not truly encompass the complete opposite meaning. It prompts readers to reflect on the concept of progress and its potential contrary nature.

I do not try, Lord, to attain Your lofty heights, because my understanding is in no way equal to it. But I do desire to understand Your truth a little, that truth that my heart believes and loves.
