WORDSMITH WEDNESDAY--APOSTROPHE

SO MANY PUNCTUATION MARKS....many like the comma are often over used. Apostrophes, ( ' )  not so much. Apostrophes can be used as possession singularly or without having to use a double or triple "s" . For me, the apostrophe is a much used punctuation mark indicating omission of numbers (ie, '21) or letters.  Y'all, the main second-personal plural pronoun in Southern American English, is a big part of my writing----. Even Siri understands my usage. 

Remember apostrophes go between letters. They are not diacritical markings which go above letters to aid in pronunciation.

Lysa TerKhurst, (seeing beautiful again, p. 28) introduced me to the "possibility" of seeing the word impossible in a whole new way! (Think a creative contraction which totally changes a meaning by just adding an ' after I.) Follow those first two letters with a pertinent space and you can go from impossible to I'm possible.   I'm possible! 

Don't you love it. 

God is the Great I AM.....(Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 32:7, Psalm 73:23, Psalm 146:6, John 14:6) 

He is my possibility  for hope and healing....a much more comforting way to look at anything that feels quite impossible! 

CHOOSE: THE LORD OF THE DANCE AS YOUR PARTNER

CHOOSE: THE LORD OF THE DANCE AS YOUR PARTNER

Thanks to my friend, JH who sent me this picture. 

Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He.

Some verse of scripture "sing out " to me of dance positions with the Lord of the dance.

Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand. (Psalm 73:23)

Even when I stumble in my life dance with Him, His words from Psalm 37:24 comfort me. 
If they stumble, they will not fall, because the Lord holds their hand. (NCV)

For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. (Psalm 41:13)

Who wouldn't want to dance through life with the One who holds you close and calms your fears.

That's why I choose the "Lord of the Dance" to lead me.

CHOOSE: TO RIDE

I don't do BIG "rides" well! (Think Dragon Challenge (below) Hulk, Popeye, Dudley Do Right's Ripsaw Falls flume ride)

So, I stuck with my 5 year old granddaughter on our recent trip to Universal's Island of Adventure.

The first day found us on some spinning rides (Caro-seuss-el) and wet rides (One fish, Two Fish)  & slides (Camp Jurassic)

But then......"Swing gliding" with our feet dangling below us as we went through the trees on Pteranodon Flyers in Jurassic Park & roller coaster rides came next....

---though labeled family friendly they did some jerking and swerving after uphill and down hill speedy runs. Flight of the Hippogriff. Woody Woodpecker . A little unnerving for both a youngster & an "oldster."

When I felt Lucy's small hand grab my right hand, I so understood the need to "hold on to another for security" as the verse from Psalm 73:23 came to mind! (I had no idea of the citation at the time---I just now looked it up.)

Nevertheless I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.

That's the ONLY way I can Enjoy the Roller Coaster Ride of Life holding on to the Lord!
