I love it when a baseball diamond has a section of the outfield sold to "The Gap". I used to know what the Cumberland Gap was about, but it has left me. There's a place near here called Whiskey Gap, but there's only one house left there, and it's the old church now converted into a home. It's just 5 miles east of Immigration Gap, which never did have even one house, but was the place where the first settlers of Southern Alberta, coming from the south, crossed into Canada. A few people still cross there, apparently, although there is no legitimate border crossing there. Most of the traffic is in the night, I suppose.
People speak of "closing" or "bridging" the gap. Orthodontists, I understand, are dedicated to eliminating the gap. The only gap in scripture is in Ezekiel: Ezekiel 22:30 30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. I have no idea what that means. President Benson said that in the true Latter Day Saint home there was no such thing as a generation gap. John P. Grier (whoever that was) said that that "the biggest gap in the world is the gap between the justice of a cause and the motives of the people pushing it" I suppose he knew what he was talking about. I could say what I think about the credibility gap, but I don't think you would believe me. Some people try to study the culture gap between indiginous peoples and European Americans, but the gap all but precludes any significant acculturation or accommodation, according to some experts. A spark can leap a gap, but probably not an alarming gap or even an ominous gap. Some desperate people turn to a stop-gap solution. Some apographical writings bridge the intertestamental gap. Usually one is disturbed by widening gaps and happier about narrowing gaps. But sometimes it's the other way around. George Orwell wrote that "The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were instinctively, to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuddlefish squirting out ink." That fills the gap for me. Tom "I just pretend I'm a princess, and that I could summarily have her executed at any time according to my own pleasure. It gives me great comfort!"
