Yes. He often does it in kind of a responsive way. But I am thinking it
has roots other than that.

For what it's worth:

_Why does Hugh say that all the time? What does it mean? Is it funny?_

Hugh used to be on in the mornings. He had a regular caller who would
say "Morning glory, Hugh!" Hugh then adopted that as his intro.
Then he moved the show to afternoon drive, and he had a contest with
his listeners to come up with a suitable counterpart to "morning
glory," and thus was born "evening grace."

In horse racing, a morning glory is horse that runs quickly in
workouts but doesn't do well in the afternoons (the actual races), but
I'm guessing the phrase above is more churchy in origin and meaning.

I bet on a horse that was so good it took 12 other horses to beat him.

Would "evening grace/morning glory" perhaps be a more theologically
appropriate placement of words?

...
For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory
~Psalm 84:11.

Grace is simply what we receive and what we escape by the interposition
of Jesus Christ between us and a holy law.... Grace is a free gift,
glory is a reward; grace is ours as sharers in Christ's humiliation,
glory is ours as partners in His triumph; grace is our earthly portion,
glory is our heavenly recompense.
~A.J. Gordon, Grace and Glory


//Sr. Eveline

**Is it not to share your food with the hungry, and to provide the poor
wanderer with shelter -- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and
not turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break
forth as the Morning, and your healing will quickly appear; then your
righteousness will go before you, and the Glory of the Lord will be your
rear guard
-Isaiah 58:6-8**

No, I don't think it was churchy. For instance in certain parts of the
United States (particularly rural areas) a standard morning greeting instead
of "good morning" was "morning, glory" or rather more often, "mornin',
glory." KM

gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were
unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the
theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your
entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start
or no start at all. You were not born to fail."

This a weird exchange, since my sister is trying to be "good" and I am
a slithering heathen who just happens to play the piano passably well.

Thanks to all that participated -- suppositions from race horses to
"churchy".

I just felt it must have roots before Hewitt. Each half of the phrase does,
but I have not seen them together so maybe it is Hewitt's..........
