with God willing and the creeks don't rise.
Mark, I hate to be one to correct another person, (not really, I have a
ball doing it/), but the saying you used above is actually a response from a
Senator, (don't recall his name), who was asked to come to Washington, (back
in the 1700's) and sent a reply saying, "I'll be there if the good Lord's
willing and the Creek don't rise". The reference to the Creek was to a tribe
of Indians called the Creek, who were giving the settlers trouble at the
time.
Now you are almost as smart as I am.
